I'm up..... mentally preparing for a 4 mile run today.

Went to a USAT Rules clinic last night at our local Y.
WOW. Lots of points I hadn't thought about (re: drafting lengths, no assistance from others, having others run with you, etc.).
Good stuff.
The article on the BT home page highlights most of what they talked about.

Happy training all!

"Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head..."

Sheesh, THAT'S getting tougher as the years go by! Well, Patti and I are off to the health club for our daily workout. Getting her to go with me for these is the best part. Training with someone you love makes it a lot more enjoyable, and the motivation level stays right up there. And I look at the gains that I've made, then look at her and see what she is struggling with just to work out (Multiple Sclerosis for 18 years) and that inspires me even more. You rock gal...my hero!

I DID MY 8 MILE "LONG RUN" FOR THE WEEK. I FEEL LIKE I AM RECOVERING FASTER THAN BEFORE. I'M SENDING GOOD VIBES FOR EVERYONES TRAINING DAY..... GO, GO, GO

If I wait to put in my training after I do it, I won't put it in til Friday, so...

One hour swim. Will do some drills and a mile-long pyramid swim:
50-50-100-150-200-250-300-250-200-150-100-50-50

Then I'm on the trainer again this evening for one hour.

That's so awesome about your wife Max. I'm glad you two are inspiring each other.Well, did my mini tri today. Ran .79 miles (all running mind you) before hopping off to go to spin class 1hr then my daily torture of 800 m in the pool. Will I ever beat 15 min????? See my soliloquy on my log.Back to the gym tonight for 1hr weightlifiting.

Rest day. Yay!

Or I might try out my new swimsuit and see what all the fuss is about.

run 6km in 32min ,and some power training. but i think my achilles tendon is inflamated ,might reduce or stop my running for 1-2 weeks ,invest more effort in the pool.

I felt really bad this morning. I walked the dog and then almost went back to bed. I didn't train yesterday and felt like I couldn't train today. Then I came on this site and got a little inspired. It was a nice sunny morning but I went to train at the Y eventhough I felt I should be out on a long run or bike ride. I did 30 min on the rower, 30 min on the lifecycle level 20 cadence 100-120 rpm, 30 min treadmill run, hill intervals. Then 30 minutes in the pool.
I think I am going to try an indoor training experiment for the rest of this month. I'll train at the gym all week and then bike and run on the weekend outside and see if can get any kind of results that way. I'm finding training inside allows me to do more in less time.

AM: 1hr 20min bike ride with some hill repeats

a measly little 15 minute run (all run though) after a 6 minute warm up and stretch.

Rest day

May hit the pool in the morning and the run at lunch tomorrow, though! And then a brick on Saturday? who knows!

Good swim day was a little more relaxed endurance seems to be improving every week. A month ago I didnt even know how to swim let alone swim the entire length. Today 200 meters non-stop. For a total of 625. Feels good.

don't know how I forgot to post this earlier.....I did 37 minutes on my bike trainer. HRM was giving me fits and I was just plain tired to I bagged it after 37. I need to make a sign to remind myself this was supposed to be an easy week anyhow.

great job everyone!

A.M. - 35 minute spinning class. Went at it pretty hard today.
P.M. - 20 miles on my rollers. Easy endurance ride, worked on keeping cadence around 90 rpm.

65 minute ride on indoor bike trainer. I would have liked to ride outdoors today, but it still isn't light out long enough after work. The roads are dry, and now it is warm enough.
Have a day off work tomorrow....woo hoo!

Hi !

I had a mini accomplishment. I did 30 laps in 24 mins. That's the most ever. And I did 10 laps at a time without stopping!!

Yeah! But I felt like spaghetti after....

:-)

Stacey

Congrats Stacey!  Every milestone keeps the motivation up to set new goals!  Keep it up.  Feeling like spaghetti just means you put your all into it.  Nothing wrong wtih that.
