Kristen over at Glitter and Dust posted about her random training thoughts and she asked me to share mine, so here are a variety of my random training thoughts over the last few weeks.
- While biking…Why does my Garmin keep quitting on me? SERIOUSLY…How many times will I have to restart my Garmin to collect data during this 2 1/2 hour ride? Apparently…10 times…UGH!! I think it might be time for a new Garmin.
- While swimming…I’m wearing goggles, so why do I close my eyes when someone splashes water in my face?
- While biking…I LOVE the seamless chamois in my Coeur Sports tri shorts!! #noangrykitty 🙂
- While getting ART (active release therapy) done on my leg…When do I get to inflict this kind of pain on Dr. Chris?
- While running…Why is Basil always so happy to go run? It is so much fun to watch the joy Basil has while running. I wonder what she thinks about while we run…
- While biking…Mojo, why do we have such a perfect chemistry? I love this bike!!!
- While running…How many more hills are we going to climb today? Here comes another one…That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
- While biking…Why do my sensor (power and cadence) batteries have to die during the middle of a workout? Why can’t they wait until the end of the workout to go kaput?
- While swimming (with only a strap around my feet…no pull buoy)…I am SO thankful I am not paraplegic. Keeping my legs afloat is very challenging!!
- While running…Thank you Osmo Nutrition for keeping me hydrated!! That was a VERY sweaty run!! #womenarenotsmallmen
- While getting a massage…OOUUCH!! My muscles are SO tight!!
- After a massage…FINALLY…I can relax 🙂
- While biking…Why do zone 2 rides have to be so boring? I love intervals…give me speed work…I want hills…give me variety!!
- While on the trainer during a HARD #interval set…I love to ride my bicycle, I love to ride my bicycle :)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii1VuMX_G88
- While swimming…My legs are VERY tired today…please don’t drown, please don’t drown.
What random thoughts do you have while training?
PushMyLimits 
Awesome thoughts!!
I have a lot of similar ones! I often wonder why I close my eyes while doing a flip turn while swimming.
If I am having a particularly hard run, I wonder why it is so much harder today than any other day!!
While cycling I often think i wish I didn’t have that high of wattage for the first interval because I am going to have to beat those watts on every other interval!! 🙂
Oh…I too have had that same thought on the bike…Why did I push so hard at the beginning?!?!?!?! That is going to be tough to beat!! I thought that very thing during Monday night’s trainer ride, but it ended up being an amazing push through mental toughness and pure determination 😉
Definitely!! It always feels good when we are done right?!! 🙂
Absolutely!!
Haha, these were funny! I wonder why I close my eyes when water gets wayupin my left ear. Still trying to get over that reflex. During today’s “easy” run that ended up being a pace run, I did think “effing a” but it wasn’t effing that I was thinking. Hey, I couldn’t slow down, ya know!
Was thinking of giving Coeur a try since I’ll soon be getting very intimate with my new old bike.
It’s amazing where our brains go 😉 I definitely recommend Coeur!! #noangrykitty with the seamless chamois!!
When biking … I swear my PowerTap is reading low today! Oh no, that’s just my usual pathetic wattage.
PS: Loving the #noangrykitty hashtag!
Oh…that is a good one also 🙂
To clean up what goes on in my melon for a lady, my too main thoughts are “push harder, wus” and “quit whining”. Beyond that, it’s probably best to keep the rest to myself… 😉
Sometimes I have thoughts that aren’t really appropriate either 😉
Awe- #5!!!
She is an amazing runner and LOVES it!! 🐶😊
Ahaha, zone two yes! I did a zone two run tonight and I was so bored! Soooo slow! I tend to close my eyes too when I get splashed in the pool.
I just don’t know why I close them. I did it again tonight while swimming 😊
Cute post idea, ha! I’m with you on #5, my dog is always SO HAPPY to be running, and he isn’t really even running, it’s more of a trot!
Basil mostly trots around, but she definitely runs when she sees a squirrel or rabbit 😉 We do let her off leash in the parks and on country roads…she loves leaping through the ditches of snow also 😉
#5 – Reminds me –> I want a dog!!! I’m still in the process of convincing my husband that we need (yes need) a golden retriever.
#11 – Pretty much every time I get a massage. I don’t think I know what non-tight muscles feel like.
#13 – YES!!!
You DO NEED a dog!! They make the world a happier place 🙂
I don’t know what it feels like to not have tight muscles either…I keep dreaming that one day I’ll wake up and my muscles will be loose, but it is always just a dream.
