KSH - 2010-01-07 10:54 AM Hello everyone! How is the training coming along? I am working on weights for cycling... running and cycling! My butt is so sore from the cycling... gotta break my butt back in! OH and I might not have a job after all. Feel free to read my Log for details.

Training is going pretty well.  I'm working on weightloss more consistently now also.  Lost 3 lb since the 1st

Running is ok.  Lots of little aches and pains here and there in the legs.   I got on my bike (on the trainer) for the first time in awhile the other day...definately have to break the butt in again.  It was unhappy for sure after only 25 minutes!

Good luck with the job hunting...it can be so frustrating!

Picking up the training just a tad.  Mentally muscled out an extra mile for you on the treadmill today.  Legs are sore here too, but not painful or injured.  Eagerly awaiting my 3 new pairs of shoes which should be here on Monday (crossing fingers for Friday delivery).  Will be doing at least 5 miles on Saturday (if Tania invites me along), maybe I should open the plan up and see what it calls for this week, hehe. (don't pull out your hair, not a good look for interviews) And will be doing around 4 at Sunday's speed work at the track.

Will start peppering in some good swims since nobody showed up to Tuesday's swim.  Should I jump right back into 3000+? or ramp it up from 2000 over the next month?

Guess I will check out my butt situation in a few weeks when I ramp up the biking.

Ugh, Karen....so sorry to hear about the job. That sucks, stupid shady company.

Training is going, just trying to get a consistent routine going again. I still dread my runs, but I've hit most of them except for Christmas week. Now, just trying to incorporate more swimming and reintroduce my butt to my bike as well. I want to keep up with strength training and yoga, we'll see if I can squeeze it all in. Also, eating a bit healthier to shed the 5 lbs I gained. Back to logging what I eat, but not depriving myself of anything either.

Derek, how you going to call me out.....twice to boot!  Yes, run on Saturday but it will probably be more of a walk for you because I'm so slow. It's going to be cold (for us weanies down south) so I'm probably going to do it on a treadmill. Sorry, I couldn't make it to swim on Tuesday, but work has been hellacious plus I did abs and weights, so I was too tired to swim that night. Thinking I might have to do a swim another night? I want to swim 3 x a week, so I want to start going to master's again and practices are sooooo early. Ugh.

KSH - 2010-01-07 2:52 PM I am planning on being at the track on Sunday. I can't pass up pizza! Ha! I am running 6 miles on Sunday... probably run around the neighborhoods for 3 or so and finish up on the track. Otherwise... Friday and Saturday I am in a workshop all day preparing for my personal training certification.

Big_D - 2010-01-07 3:07 PM



Glad you will make it out on Sunday.  Track will be around 4 miles, so just do an extra mile warm up and cool down.  I will do it with you if you want.

KSH - 2010-01-07 6:55 PM This might make you giggle... I gave a girl my shoes tonight at the gym. Yes, my shoes. I had two pairs and she had left hers at home. She is probably with the resolution crowd and I didn't want her to miss her workout. So I gave her the shoes off my feet. Of course, they are old running shoes that I no longer run in. I just use them for weights- lunges and stuff. I got her number so I can get my shoes back next week.

gerrydiego - 2010-01-07 4:29 PM Well... I had all the intentions of doing my first swim of the year, but my little one got a night-long cough... so it quickly turned into my rest day. Hopefully tomorrow.

Just in case some of you Texans are fellow Longhorns... HOOK'EM!! :-)

Um, Roll Tide

I'm and SEC fan

I won´t take it personal ;-) Would have been a very exciting game if McCoy would have stayed in.

A question:

Finally got my first swim of 2010 in and it was an Open Water Swim. So how do you compare an OWS against a pool session? I swam 1450 meters this morning in 32´52". These were with out stopping.  When I do my normal pool workouts, its close to 1 hour swim and totaling close to 2000m or so, but obviously with drills, breaks, technique, etc... I will be mixing between open water and pool sessions. Are open water swims normally shorter because you don´t break?

Thanks,

Gerry

The pool I use is only 15 yards long, so my time is spent turning around.  My OWS are much shorter.

 

So, do you think McCoy eased out of the game to save himself for draft week (since I'm sure there is an offer waiting for him), or had an actual injury?? 

erin.kelsey - 2010-01-09 9:30 AMHey everyone, sorry again for being MIA.  We still dont' have our computer hooked up (we are getting a wireless card so we can pick up our houses wireless signal) so it's been tough to get on and log workouts and chat with you all!   But, I've been training/working out pretty diligently!  I did a spinning class on Thursday which was great and yesterday I did a kickboxing class and also stepped on the treadmill for 15 minutes.  I'm not the best runner so I think I'm going to do the beginner training plan for running and bike portion and do something more intermediate for the swim portion.  

Thats about it for me, I plan on getting on the bike tomorrow at the gym but the inlaws are in town so hopefully I can squeeze that in. 

Logging my food on Daily Plate has been a good experience so far.  But, for the fitness log it doesn't recognize the spinning workout which I thought was weird.

Anyway, hope you are all having a nice weekend!
