I have recently arrived in Pittsburgh from the land of the flat and they have more hills here than SF (check out the RR on the "Dirty Dozen" http://tinyurl.com/7mwct4k).
It's the off-season now and the days are getting shorter for us here in Ireland and I was just wondering what keeps other people motivated when they've just finished a long season?
I know I'll get out for a run today, but the question is whether it'll be 5Km or 15Km!!:0)
Together we shed blood, shared tears and drowned in our sweat. One look at each other is enough. We know what we sacrificed and the sacrifices we asked from our loved ones.

My wife and I decided to turn our guest bedroom into a workout room. It's looking really nice with a trainer, Bowflex, a big high speed fan on the all, LCD TV/Monitor, and soft mats on the floor. I thought about decorating it with inspirational posters, but then I had the idea to write quotes on the walls. I remember reading this thread a while back with some good quotes in it. Let me know what good ones I'm missing.
So I have been asked to talk to a group of inmates at a youth correctional facility in the town that I grew up in. I am coming in as part of the outreach program, a counseling sort of thing I suppose. They asked me to talk about the races that I’ve done, why I do strange things like triathlons etc and I reluctantly said yes. I’m not sure how to explain this thing to a group of people who may not find this as exciting as I do. I know why I’m here, I find so much meaning in racing and training for bigger races, or faster races.
I've competed in 7 triathlons over the course of the summer and am feeling totally burnt out. I still have one left on Sept. 6. My muscles feel fatigued and I'm struggling to find the motivation to keep training for the next week. Anyone have any great stuggestions to keep in it for the last couple weeks? I'm debating whether to do it or not at this point....
Entering my second year of tri's and ramping from Sprints/OLY to OLY's/half....
Any tips for training indoors (I have a Kinetic fluid trainer)???
I'm really struggling to stay on the bike for more than 45 min-1hr even though I need to be putting some longer rides in.... tried music, TV, etc but I get so bored all I want to do is stop!
