Frostbite Force - Du-December Challenge (Page 12)

blujay65 - 2009-12-13 7:00 AM Woke up this morning with a swollen and scratchy throat. Don't like when things come up fast like that, so I am canceling my run today and will probably restart tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

a_prl - 2009-12-13 7:01 PM A beautiful, sunny, 70-degree day meant I had no excuse not to run. Got in my first one of the month.... I know, I know. What a slacker!

Baowolf - 2009-12-13 10:45 PMOh my long run day for me 20 miles in 1-3 inches of snow average pace 8:30 mpm.  The temp dropped about 12 degrees while I was out there and though my temperature was ok for most of it, started to cool off the last mile or two and then by the time I got home I was shivering.  It took about 30-60 min to get back up to feeling comfortable.  It was a realy tough run with not great footing and then I was supposed to pick up the pace for the last 5 miles.  Well, I was able to keep it faster for 3 of the 5 last miles, but miles 18 and 19 were  much slower.  Just glad to have that one done, phwa.  

That puts me at 86.5 miles run for the month and I caught the spreadsheet up, though thanks for updating this morning Tim.  Is good to be warm again.

Coming down with a cold here, yay.  I am not sure about running today in the 30Fs and drizzle.  Skipped my workout lastnight and just went right to bed after work.  I got in about 13 hours of sleep.  Well we see how I feel a bit later.

Got in another run/swim combo with some push-ups.  My wife and I tried a 24hr Super Sport and didn't think it was really that special.  The machines were new, but not that big of a deal.  They provided towels and had nicer showers, but other than that it seemed pretty much the same as a regular Sport.  Any of you pay the extra money to be a member of the 24hr Fitness Super Sports?

cthoops - 2009-12-15 4:36 PM O.k. I'm still alive - things just got a little hectic for a bit.  45 minutes on the rollers today, and another core workout. 

brick94513 - 2009-12-16 1:57 AM While not part of my goals for the challenge, I had a great day on the bike.  I realized today that my training has become so run focused that I was missing the bike.

In the afternoon, I got fitted to my tri bike.  What a great experience!  The process took about three hours.  I can't believe how many changes were made to the bars, saddle, cleat positioning, and knee alignment.  I wasn't even close to correct positioning.  Not to mention, I learned alot about correct anatomical positioning for maximun efficiency while on the bike.
