We took a vote in the middle of the week and decided to make today an optional day. It's been a busy time with the baby coming and bull patterson was behind on the leaves so tdisckree and I decided to go for a run on our own. Today was the first day that I ran in my full winter running attire. I felt quite comfortable throughout...except for that one area that tends to get colder than the rest. Tdisckree and I went for 12k down through victoria park and up through the bs.
After the workout we went over to the market for breakfast and ran into 1 former tdisc member(rookflick) and a former person on tryout(Josh vessey). Josh vessey thinks he may give it another shot once soccer is finished. It will have to go before the team...no gaurentees that he will be accepted back. Rookflick will be welcomed back with open arms. We haven't talked about this with rookflick...but we were approached by his family this morning and they've decided to send him back to tdisc. "He needs to go back with Tdisc."(rookflick's mother-In-Law refering to his bad attitude.) I've always said it...Tdisc is a lifestyle. People need tdisc and tdisc needs people.
Tomorrow is a much needed day of rest. We start back on Monday. Big news about the next generation...Cole David Brioux is home in his own bed.
Till next time,

Tdisc pushes on
In fear of a fine I recieved a call from the admiral late last night letting me know that he wouldn't be there in the morning. At 5:20am this morning Captain Tdiscgreggy texted me to let me know that he had a doctor's appt. and wouldn't be able to make it as well. Tdisc had already approved the leave and neither really had to notify us but they did...so there wouldn't be any misunderstanding. We appreciated the gesture and proceeded with a small squad.
Last night I went to Ed fitness again. I haven't sweat that much since I ran the half back in the middle of October. It was a great circuit put on by bull, and coach Tdisckree. I'm really looking forward to doing it again next week.
This morning I woke up quite sore. I was really glad that we had a swim scheduled and not a run. Everything went smoothly in the morning and I arrived at the pool just before 7. As I was chatting with the boys in the changing room I opened my bag to get ready...No friggen trunks! I have no idea how I could possibly forget them but I did. "What are you going to do?" asked Bull. Before I could answer tdisckree replied "he won't go home...he'll just have to buy a new pair." He was right...so I had to go out to the front desk and purchase a new pair. "What size?" the lady at the front desk asked. Knowing I don't exactly have a swimmers body I replied with the usual answer that often brings on a snicker "the biggest you have." They were great trunks but $49 was an expensive swim.
The swim went well today. We went through an endurance workout that we recieved from our friends at swimplan.com. In total we did 1700m that took us roughly around 45 minutes. It was the hardest workout that I have done in the pool since the one we did on wednesday. Bull Patterson was doing everything he could to keep up and for someone new to swimming he was doing very well.
Tomorrow we have a 12k run followed by a much needed day off on Saturday.

The next one has arrived!
Cole David Brioux was born early this afternoon. The next generation of Tdisc is under way. The whole Tdisc family would like to extend Congratulations to Tdisct(w) and the Admiral.
This morning we were forced to run shorthanded. For obvious reasons the admiral was scratched and Tdisckree(exam) was also a late scratch. Tdiscgreggy, bull, and I did 5k with stairs after every k. I found it quite tough and stumbled a few times on the stairs leaving with only a banged up fingernail. We finished with a stretch and then made an early exit from the TTF.
Last night I decided to try Ed. fitness at the TTF. It was great, although it left me quite sore during this mornings run. I`m kind of a sucker for punishment and will give it a go again tonight. For anyone thinking of joining a class, I highly encourage this. Tomorrow we are back in the pool for a long endurance swim.
Till next time,

Admiral demands discounts
Captain Tdiscgreggy entered 5 minutes late and walked right over to the admiral who was sitting on his bike and handed him a dollar. "Thank You" said the admiral. He was the second person to get fined in the first week of training.
We began today's workout on the bikes. Coach Tdisckree put us through some tough sprints. I didn't think I was going to get a good workout in on the stationary bike but much to my surprise I was gassed after 30 min. We had a short stretch then made our way down to the pool. Tdisckree and I each swiped our swim card to get in...and tdiscgreggy decided to purchase a card. The admiral handed the girl at the front $3 and walked in. When he got in the changing room we pointed out that when you purchase a ten pack of swims u get a deal and get in for 3.60 a swim. Hence the puzzled look on the staff members face when she recieved the admiral's payment.
We paired off in two lanes and went through another swim plan courtesy of our friends at swimplan.com. It consisted of 1500m which had 10-100's in the middle. It was extrememly tough. "That was the hardest think that i've done in awhile" the captain said following his swim.
Again today we were without our prize rookie Bull Patterson. Tdisc has announced that Bull Patterson is Day to Day with the H1N1 virus. Tdisc has strict orders that Bull doesn't come within a block of the admiral.
Still waiting on the next one. Tdisct(w) and the admiral are expecting the arrival any day now.
Tonight I'll be giving Ed. Fitness a try. It will be something a little different from the usual training. Tomorrow we are back to the running.
If anyone is wondering how they can support the first annual tdisc santa claus run then you can contact me and I will figure out a way to do so.
Till next time,
