Sesh's Group - FULL! (Page 16)

Greetings Everyone - Just returned from sunny FL.  HA HA Actually it was cold and grey - who poked Mother Nature with a sharp stick.  Of course, it was still warmer there than the 20s here in DC.  I only have a long run Sunday- 8 miles (may move to Sat b/c of weather) then Monday is the big day.  I start my HIM plan.  I plan on getting a good start w/ Mon and Tues off from work - I love working in DC during inaguration years.  We live about 5 min from the city and I plan on going nowhere w/ all of the people rolling into town.

I survived the vacation w/ the kids and squeezed in 3 runs and 2 sets of pushups and situps.  Not to mention the hours of walking and chasing after kids.  So all in all I'm happy w/ what I did.

Well hubby is kicking me off the laptop so hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Welcome back Samantha!

 I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  It is still really cold here, but I went out and did my run.  I almost bagged it, but now that it's done I'm glad I did.  I was really dragging today, but I'm much more awake now.

My bed was soooo warm this morning...I didn't make it to spin class.  The day isn't done yet...I'll try to swing by the Y later this evening.

I dragged myself through my run today.  It was the slowest I've run in a long, long time.  My legs are already sore.  Guess I shouldn't have hit the killer hill route for my long (8 mile) run.  Oh well - live and learn.  Hope everyone is toasty and warm.  Part of my run was alond the C&O Canal and there were people ice skating on it.  I thought they were crazy but it has been really cold here.

Just checked the county pool website to see if they were closed for MLK Day.  No luck - they are open so I will have to start my swimming tomorrow.  UGH!!! 

Go Ravens!  I'm a Redskins fan but like to root for the Ravens when they are still in it.  And anybody who beats the Steelers makes my husband happy.  :-)

Melissa, you've been busy on your day off!  Want to come clean out my garage?

I am having a rough day.  I woke up with a headache and, since I was the only one who had to get up, went back to sleep until it was time to go to work.  No workout for me this morning.  Now it's almost 7 and I'm still at work.  I might be going for a run very late tonight. 

BTW, do my 14 min. miles actually count as "runs"?  I think I was going faster when I was walking part.  Really kills me when my daughter looks over my shoulder while I'm logging a run and says "wow, that's really slow".  Like I didn't know that!

Hey don't worry about speed - getting out there and doing it is what matters.

I finished my first training day.  32 min. run and 40 min. swim.  I got in 1400m on the swim although the workout was for 2500m.  LOL Like I can swim that distance in that time.  But hey I got myself in the pool and it wasn't so bad.  I was tempted to bag the swim - when I ran up to my usual pool, I found out it was closed b/c the pump blew.  So I had to run back home then drive to another pool later in the day.

I suppose that I was really productive with my day off, but I never did get around to any of the things I had planned for today.  None of the fun, stress relieving type things.  None of the school related things. 

At least I dilly dallied this morning and cleaned my room instead of heading straight to my parents house.  It will be nice to not arrive home to a mess.

They absolutely count!  If we all started out as fast as we'd ever be, it would be pretty boring

You love to swim, you love to swim!  Very nice job getting it in.

I attempted to have the house clean for Mrs. Sesh when she got back home yesterday afternoon.  Overall it was a success, minus the one completely ruined bathroom rug.

I think there's a good story there.  Please, share. 

I went out and did my run last night, then used the route mapping thing instead of my pedometer to figure out the distance.  The route map says my run was 1/2 mile longer than my pedometer was saying.  So I'm not running as slow as I thought I was.  I guess I need to recheck the settings on the pedometer!

I hope everyone is having a good day so far.

I was planning on running this morning-I got to school nice and early...

it turns out that black ice isn't great for running.  I decided to postpone after about 15 strides.  

hmm, I have come to this conclusion...

  I must not be very patriotic because I am not obsessed with hearing the speech live.

My guess is he washed it in the dishwasher and dried it in the microwave.

Edit - because that's what I would have done.

Heh... now that's a good idea

I washed it, and like the three others, I put it in the dryer.  Ended up with half a dryer full of fuzzies and half a bath mat.  Ooops.

Yikes.  I don't know how ice skating translates into run training.

My order of trusting distances is GPS, route mapping, pedometer, my random guessing

I broke a derailleur cable

It was a long past few days with a bunch of miles biking.  I'm shifting a swim from today until Friday so I can get a rest day in and work on the bike.

I had my weekly weigh-in yesterday and I'm down another 2 lbs so maybe I'm doing something right.

I feel really stupid for not paying more attention to nutrition before.  I still struggle with it but I'm definitely getting a lot better than I was about eating.

I had to take an unplanned day off from working out yesterday because I was sore all over after playing basketball for 4 hours on Sunday (I logged it as 2 hrs because I figured that's how long I was actually on the court playing).

I hate missing workouts because I feel so guilty but I'm glad I did now because I feel a lot better and looking forward to a ride tonight.

Maybe I will put in an easy run on my planned day off (Friday) to make up for it.

Have a good week everyone.

Isn't that what put Macca out of Kona last year? 

That sucks.  Is it an easy fix?

Shouldn't be hard.  Just need to thread a new one through I think.
