Goals for January

Swim - 10,000 meters 

Bike - 15 hours

Run - 40 miles

Weights - 12 hours

Fortunately I was discharged from PT last week.  But, I will have to start with very light weights.  Hopefully all will start off well.  I do think you are right, this is a stretch jumping into my 'healthy early season distances'.  I have been in such a rut that I need to begin to force myself out of it.

My PT person did give me a brief plan to start getting back into weights, too.

Here I go.... 

Thats a lot of weights......do you like lifting??  more then Ive done in that past three years   I dont find I benefit in my racing from it and Id rather be biking or running!

as in on a spin bike or trainer?? yes.. I can give you the protocal if you like

Here goes my friends....Pray for time management.  For the most part, want to improve on December totals....the hardest will be bike/run goals.  If I can build a solid base, once our official track season comes along, I can do more speed related stuff and shorter sessions....stay tuned.

Swim:  15K

Bike:  240m

Run:  80 m

Spin:  8  sessions

Bands definitely count! Do you guys have the same system of colours=different levels of resistance?

Well worth putting in the time - long and steady - good man Pat!

Keefmac - I use GOFit bands and, yes they have different colors for different resistance.  It makes it easier to grab the right band with little down time. 

January Goals: Get my total training time to at least 8 hours/week by end of Jan.

Book a hotel and register for Door County

Swim 8,000 yards

Run 2X per week, one short, one long(er), (long runs are relative for me)

Bike (trainer) 3X per week, (at least 3 hours total

Complete the "one hundred push-up" program and lift legs 1X per week

Todays a new week!  I want 30 minutes of SOMETHING today (Id prefer swim bike or run though)  Get to it girl!

Can I have a short moan please?!

As you know I had a cold. I thought it was getting better...

 ...I thought I was a wee bit breathless last night, but ignored it, thinking it was my imagination. Well, I woke up this morning feeling about 110 YO. I ended up at the Docs and I've got bronchitis and a slight pnuemonia! Antibiotics and off work for a week and NO exercise for "at least that - 'til the cough goes away!" (I'm a bit grumpy!)

I hope you lot keep exercising as much as you have, 'cos the group average is gonna drop otherwise!

Let me know when you get to your long runs if you want a partner- ill be trainng for TTT so Ill need to get them in

Well that is a huge bummer

I get bronchitis almost every year.. .I train thru it... you just cough a lot when you are done- not too bad during.. I mean A LOT!!!  But Im not a very good role model

Yes that sounds right... my bike (as of last year was 160 and run was 178 (which is almost 20 beeast higher)  so my bike zones are similar to yours.    But I also think if you do the bike test outside youwill have higher results.

Good job!

Tammy, you are a bad girl! (But I agree!)

The bronchitisy coughing doesn't really bother me, so as soon as the Antibiotics are finished and I can breath with both lungs I'll be back to work - both professional and sporting! I do most of my training during my lunch hour so my dearest nagging nurse won't know anything about it either! - we'll see how it goes...!

(It's also meant I've missed my first ever yoga class!)
