I have been really bad at logging and checking in. First session of Adult Swim Club finished and we had a week off as they had Local School Swim Meets in the evening. Back in the water tonight with a differant instructor/coach and she worked us pretty hard. 2500m 75m Swim, Drill & kick as warm up. Scull :( 50m each Front -…

@MegaMooseEsq Congrats on the House. I live wayyyyy north of everybody in this fine group and just switched over to my Peregrine 8's ( not the ice version ) for the winter. The traction on the snow/ice is fantastic so the 8-ice will be even better. Headphones : never in winter - with the extra clothing/headgear I want to…

7.54 km River bank trails last night in the dark. The trails were a lot better than yesterday as they now only had small patchs of ice, sublimation thank you for clearing the trails. -17C a very cold run with friends, Dianne and Karen plus her Black Lab Griz. He still basically a pup so still a work in progress on Trail…

@polskagirl01 https://www.madewithsisu.com/designs - Not sure how it will work on combining multiple files from multiple athlete's but for individuals it pulls the Strava Data files and builds an interesting visual reference of all your runs that you can then save as a .jpg and print. It's interesting to look at and try to…

@lkpducky I don't as a general routine but there are 3 4 ladies in our little club who employ that concept on their training runs and have finished with mid pack times or better at everything from 10k to 50k ultra's. I did a 21 km training run with them a few years ago and we ended up with a time that was within 2-3…

Yea lots of new recruits to the group. Welcome to @Missmissy0003, @adrikozuch and @hankluver76 . Also a welcome back to anyone returning after an absence. 9 more pages so there are probably some more that I didn't tag. If you haven't already answered it - The Monthly Question is : What have I done for my tomorrow self? It…

@ContraryMaryMary So is that NZ for Physio, massage ?? or a special refreshing beverage ?? On the October Halloween parade I had over 100 kids - live in a cul-de-sac 1 block from a 4 way stop/intersection and 3 blocks from the swimming pool. So lots of parents do a drive by drop off at the top and wait for the kids to…

Great Question. Like others I would say Physical Activity - getting off the couch and doing something for me. Running, Logging here with my MFP friends. Swimming, Adult swim club at the local pool - started as adult lessons and transformed into a club Hiking, exploring the country around me one step at a time. Going on…

@eleanorhawkins; We have snow in the forecast - which at this time of year can be anything from big fluffy flakes gently floating down or a blizzard with a 20-50km/hr wind and Horizontal Snow. Home made Canadian Halloween costumes are designed with expandable sides to fit over a snow suit/parka. These Last Person Standing…

@Bruinsgal1 I have the same nagging voice - fortunately he's not very loud. I enjoy my trail running to much and my longest run so far has been a 36k - 7 Peaks Challenge. @ContraryMaryMary I can so relate to this. Just glad we could help :) >:) o:) of course @Avidkeo being a fellow NZ runner its all her fault.…

We Honored Dennis

@Orphia Thanks for including my Km's for Dennis. I still can't believe I made such a Dufus miscalculation. 13 km North Rim Trails today. Had a great group of runners out for some trails today. 3 BQ athletes, 1 Sinister 7 3rd place , 1 Canadian Death Race top 10, Comrades & UTB ultra athlete and a few of us mere mortals…

@emmab0902 Have fun in Perth at the Australasian Police and Emergency Services Games

In the pool 4 times this week. 2 Adult Swim Club and 2 Lane sessions. Did stuff - didn't record it at the time so rather jumbled. Adult swim club last session was Kickopoulus - 100m in warmup followed by 600m in the main session mixed in with a few 100m crawl sets to work the kick into the crawl. Then a 1000m pyramid odd…

@7lenny7 Trust a runner to get an injury that no else seems to get or have heard of. Glad surgery is quick as that means less time for the tendons to shrink. Like you said just change your plans and do other things. @LaDispute57 Tough Course but remember DNF = Did Not Fatal @zeesparrow Yes stick with the plan and build…

@LaDispute57 Your picture from the Sinnemahone Ultra up the pipeline looks very close to one from a local waterpipeline in fact at first I though it was from my area, Still well done on a tough course. @polskagirl01 Thanks for doing the Strava data for Dennis The last time I looked we were over 20 hrs and still climbing.…

@RunRachelleRun Great News. @emmab0902 Glad you found it and hope the doc's get it fixed up for you. You may not have been in the Running Group very much but you are still destroying the pool. @polskagirl01 Did a follow request, thanks for setting that up. Tonight is opening day for the curling season in town so one more…

1700m 150m Warm up - 50 Fr, 50 Fr Kick, 50 Dolphin ( that should have been a hint of what was coming ) 2 x - 1st with fins 15 sri 2 x 50 Dolphin w board 2 x 50 Dolphin on your Side 2 x 50 Dolphin streamlined on back 4 x 25m Front crawl with Dolphin 100m Front 2 x no fins 2 x 50 Flutter kick 4 x 25 Fr Closed Fist - engage…

@_nikkiwolf_ @Orphia I sent the request into Strava with the link to nikki's data she provided and my data with the hope that Strava would have a solution. I looked at the Group's and Event's options they had but didn't think either would work as they would grab all the data for an individual which meant some false extra…

@Orphia Well everyone knows that I had a " Time Zone Translation Error " ( dufus moment ) but I did put in a HM distance for Dennis - really wanted to get the 26.2 km for the symbolic 26.2 but ran out of gas. Not sure how you would want to portray it - but as you can tell I am fine poking a little fun at myself and feel…

10 km Pats Creek up - Bush Trail down 232m elevation. Struggled going up the hill - but I knew that I had a great reward - the bush trail back to the bottom. It was covered in autumn leaves which made footing interesting as you couldn't see all the little dips or roots. Some of the low spots were slippery or down right wet…

Adult Swim club. 150m warmup, free, kick, drill choice. Backstroke session x 2 2 x 50 Streamline kick 2 x 50 Shoulder roll kick ( exaggerated roll ) 2 x 50 6 kick Switch 2 x 100m Backstroke. ( my old separated shoulder injury started to hurt so had to go easy on the pull ) Free Sprint session ( did thess as easy due to…

I can't really take credit for it - all I did was pass on info/knowledge/ideas/advice?? that others have passed on to me and other runners - usually over post run/race coffee, and it was just an extension of the comments from @7lenny7 . As one runner in GP said ( English is not her birth language) Threw yourself down the…

I must have missed that bit about the impression of negativity - but I agree that people that are new to trail's tend to tip toe around the mud/water hazards while trail hounds just pound straight through. Also I admit I get a little perverse child like joy in splashing through the mud/water - when you have size 12 paddles…

@PastorVincent Enjoy the Day. I keep thinking of the singing Irish Priest who nailed Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah at a wedding.

Have a great Run @Orphia. Thanks to @Orphia and everyone for the kind words, still feel a little foolish - right time - wrong start day. Since I was running across midnight - from one day into the next I believe that is what got me crossed up, I concentrated to much on the time ⏲ and not enough on the actual day. 🗓 Will be…

Dang I did - mistranslated the time zone shifts by a full 24hrs. Me bad. I even had a secondary converter up and now looking at it again realize my error.

21.1 km Memorial Run for Dennis Ley. World wide group of MFP friends doing 26.2 hrs of running. So wanted 26.2 km but with no taper/rest my legs disappeared at 17km. Struggled through ( lots of walking ) the last 4 km to get a HM distance in. -1C and a 3km/h east wind so when I was in the tree cover - open the vent…

@7lenny7 Scotts reply covers it. @sarahthes I use this World Clock when trying to figure out schedules and when I can Phone people without waking them up.

Swim Club last night. Kick set night - there was the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Mine was the ugly. I have never had a strong kick, differant muscle loading than running so my run strength does not help my kick. typical 150m warm-up, 50 free, pull, kick. 3 x: 3 x 30 sec vert kick 4 x 25 strmline 4 x 25 flutter board 4 x 25…
