Regular ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Qua17 - 2012-01-16 10:45 AM katieduffy - 2012-01-15 3:24 PM rn86314 - 2012-01-15 3:59 PM I had a beautiful trail run today but found myself having to walk up all the hills to keep my heart rate down in the right zone. That, and it's FREEZING here today! Now I can bundle up in my cozy apartment, watch football, and eat hot delicious foods. I also have a 3 day weekend, so I'm thinking long swim and weights tomorrow with trainer later in the day. Katie - You're not kidding... I went for a walk and the wind chill was -10. My son was so concerned he kept texting me to see if I was still alive As for football - who are you rooting for next week? Thanks for the encouragement! Looks like the deep freeze will end in a day or two and then we're back to weird, spring-like winter. Football? The Giants, of course! And because I am really a Jets fan, I'm looking forward to the Ravens beating up the Pats. Since MLK made it a 3 day weekend, I am late in laying out this week's plan: Today - I wound up doing an hour on the trainer in lieu of my other lofty plans. It worked. Tue: run 45 - 60 min Wed: swim 1200, 30 - 45 recovery on trainer Thu: 30-45 on trainer Fri: run 45 - 60 min Sat: swim 1200, run or trainer Sun: do whatever i didn't do on sat |

It was funny, I went out on Sunday and ran for 70 min, felt fine. Got home, shoveled the driveway, darn near froze to death. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Loved the three day weekend and spreading out my swim workouts instead of cramming three workouts into two days...however, I push more and now I am exhausted and a bit sore, in a good way. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() BigDH - 2012-01-16 11:31 AM regarding the above. Not sure if I posted this one, but if you got 5 minutes to spare. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7X38PCf7... - Loved the video... It really went to that question of how I can make that paradigm shift. I just found out that my 77 year old uncle will have his right leg amputated because of clogged arteries brought about by diabetes. He treated his body like his entire life because he "wanted" to eat lots of good food and drink copious amounts of good beer. And now - he's facing a reality I don't even want to think about. I want to be a healthy person so I can spend quality time with my wife and kids and so I can live long and not regret my previous actions. Not to get all emotional - but I bet its pretty hard to lie in that bed waiting to lose your leg all the while knowing that you have no one to blame but yourself. I think I just found my motivation... Edited by Qua17 2012-01-17 7:44 PM |

Nice workout. Nothing like a bike to ease the pains in knees that have gotten pounded by running. Question - when its -38 degrees, do you really need to ice after you run? You crazy canadians... |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey everyone: Thanks for all the responses on how to make a life change - I appreciate hearing what has made a difference in your lives... and I will use your suggestions to make a change in mine. Hit the pool this morning (got up at 4:30 to make it through the snow to the gym - I guess it's winter here after all) and was pumped to see my improvement. I used some of the techniques I saw on some youtube videos and shaved nearly a minute off my time for 500 yards. At 2:33/100 yards, I still have work to do but I'm psyched to see improvement in both my time and distance...Now I just have to master the flip turn... Thanks for all the encouragement! DQ |

Member ![]() ![]() | ![]() No idea how 3 years ago i was laying down miles like they were nothing and never batting an eye at 7:45 to 8:10 min/mile training runs....
my last three 4 mile runs have been at 9:57, 10:16 and 10:00 min paces and it seems fast lol. I started back 2 months ago at 13 min per mile for my first 2 mile run. I know there is progress... i can see and feel but ... just seems that you fight and scrape for each step forward lol |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() rn86314 - 2012-01-17 10:06 PM Yeah I can relate to that too. A couple years ago an 8 mile run after work was nothing for me. Now a long run is 3 miles. No idea how 3 years ago i was laying down miles like they were nothing and never batting an eye at 7:45 to 8:10 min/mile training runs....

Member ![]() ![]() | ![]() On a completey unrelated triathlon note: I had a very exciting birthday present - I was accepted to the University of Texas - Austin's doctoral program for sports management!!!! So I've added a few more goals for this year: This is one excited birthday girl - considering this day did not start on a happy note. |

Keep up the improvement - you'll break 8 minutes before you know it! |
