Just checking in with everyone!  Sounds like we all are fighting a case of spring fever. Anyway, my husband and I were just watching shoe reviews on youtube and I think I can give you all a laugh of the day.

Watch this shoe review and listen to what he says around 16 seconds in.  I don't think he is really saying what we heard!

Hey everyone!  Winter has made it's reappearance here today.  Right now it's sleeting/snowing and just generally ugly out.  Before it's all done we're supposed to have up to 5" of snow plus the sleet/ice.  School was closed today although I already had the day off anyway - took a couple of vacation days and now I'm stuck in the houseUndecided.  I'm going to try to make the most of it though - getting caught up on some home stuff.  Got a good swim in yesterday and talked to the gym about getting some swim lessons.  Just waiting for one of the instructors to give me a call so we can set things up.  Yoga class for tonight has been canceled but I have a couple of yoga DVD's so I'll probably just use one of those today.  I may also get in a short trainer ride - we'll see how the day goes.

I hope everyone's having a good week and anyone else in the path of this storm - stay safe!
Janet

Your weather is headed our way. They are calling for an afternoon weather mess. Nothing like what you have but messy enough for me to cancel my bike commute. I'm on a forced scaling back of bike work!

Sounds like everyone is doing alright, not great, but hanging in there.

I'm behaving and pain free, so I'm going to try a short easy ride tonight.  

Unfortunately the hectic work and family week has kept me off of BT, but priorities right? :-)

Stay focused everyone.  Good luck this week.

Happy Sunday everyone!

I got in a really good 10 mile run today.  My HM is just around the corner and getting in quality training will be hard.  I'm heading out of town for a long weekend with friends on Thursday.  Not sure just how I am going to get the needed miles in.  We'll see.  I do plan on packing my shoes and swimsuit in the hopes of fitting a workout or two in. 

It is lovely here in Northern Virginia today.  The birds are chirping, the sun is out, and it's about 50F.  Nice.

Have a great week!

Another weekend come and gone, and a new week is staring us in the face, wondering how we are going to fill it with training!! 

We've had quite a few early season races in our group and lots of successes!  More to come as the weather begins to warm up, so keep inspiring everyone as they get ready to race...

Keep that baseline training going, or keep with your plan if you are working on one!  Looks like a new mentor group will start in April as the season really gets underway...

My plan for the week is:

  • Tues-run C25K W3D1
  • Thurs-run C25K W3D2
  • Fri-bike 30 minutes
  • Sat-first masters swim practice
  • Sun-run C25K W3D3

Finally it's the last week of my son's swim team and Saturday starts my master's practices.

So this is one of those days where I wish it would start pouring NOW so I don't have to go run.

Oh, it poured, sideways, and I ran...for my car.

But (shhhh), I'll let you in on a secret. I got a deadline extended until the 22nd, and normally I would stay here all day and submit it earlier anyway. Only, since I no longer feel any obligation to this place since I'm out on my arse soon...I'm leaving after lunch to run and bike OUTSIDE! Yippie. :D

I asked for rain...it came just as I was walking to my locker!  I ended up walking stairs in the building with a friend instead for about 25 minutes.  Can feel it today.

Looks like today's run will not happen too.

Snowing here - againFrown.  At least it's only flurries this time and it's warm enough that nothing's actually sticking to the ground.  It's supposed to last thru tomorrow morning.  I skipped my swim this morning - no reason other than laziness.  I got a call from a swim coach about lessons, we're playing phone tag right now so as soon as I can get hold of her we'll get something set up.  I'm looking forward to seeing what she has to say.

Great attitude Dana!

Ended up taking a rest day yesterday since I walked all over at work.  Trying to behave here...

Easy ride today.  A little foot cramping likely associated with some deconditioning, but barely noticeable.  I'll decide about tomorrow's ride tomorrow.

Keep at it everyone.

Decided on another rest day yesterday after all the walking at work and running errands.  Apparently I'm showing some maturity...

Happy Friday and have a great weekend.

Finally connected with the swim instructor yesterday.  Lessons start next Thursday - just once a week for 3 weeks, after that I'll decide if I want to continue.  She sounds pretty young but hopefully she'll know what she's doing.  Right now I think just having someone watch me will help - I can't see what I'm doing right or wrong (and not sure I'd know the difference anywayTongue out) so anything will help.  Of course it would help if I actually went to the pool a little more often!

I'll be starting my master's class in the morning.  I already know that the coach will miss 2 of the 16 classes due to meets with the faster children on my son's swim team.  That's OK, I guess, since he'll leave instructions and it will still be good to swim with others.

I'll report back on how it goes.

Sounds like things are going well... swim coaches, masters swim, appropriate rest days, races, we are rocking the pre-season!
