Haha, love it.  I should try that sometime!

BigDH - 2011-01-27 12:18 PM It is a great technique. I know at least one person who got hooked on running by rewarding himself after every run, with wings, or a beer, or a big mac. I mean not healthy stuff. Thing is there gets to be a sort of association built up between the happiness of a plate full of wings and running so that the good feeling you get from indulging in something unhealthy is transferred to something healthy and then you no longer need the wings or beer anymore and in fact it gets in the way of what you actually start to enjoy more, which is the working out. seriously.

kpringle - 2011-01-27 11:47 AM I can't believe the gym was actually open today!  We got yet another foot of snow last night.  All the local schools were closed.  I checked the gym's website about cancellations, called the weather hotline to confirm that spin class was still being held, piled all 3 kids into the car and drove to the gym in less than ideal conditions.  We passed 2 cars on the way there.  Showed up at the gym to find out that the gym was open but NO SPIN CLASS.  I was totally bummed b/c I missed my usual spin class on Tuesday, too.  Oh well.  I ended up with a great workout anyway - tried to make the most of it since we had already motivated to get there!  I did my own made-up workout on a spin bike (which was really kind of fun!  might have to do that again!) and then ran for a little bit on the treadmill.  I guess this could qualify as my first (although mini) brick workout??  I feel good now and am so happy we rallied and went to the gym.  I have to post a picture of how much snow we have right now, it's crazy!  I'll try to do it later today...

mylissahorrocks - 2011-01-27 11:17 PM Sports Injury??
So...yesterday while I was running I started feeling a twinge in my left inguinal area. It got progressively worse today, iced it some...feels like a pulled muscle. Today was weight train...so didn't do that but planning on getting back on track tomorrow. Has anyone ever had a muscle type pain in this area? Bizarre.

mylissahorrocks - 2011-01-26 10:14 PM Hi friends!
A new first for me today! Ran more or less the whole 3.5 on the treadmill! Excited to see how this works for me outdoors. New pace was 12.12. Great to have a breakthrough on the running.

So here's where I'm at so far this week:

Found out on Wednesday that my hubby will be heading to Afghanistan   He leaves on sunday for training for 2 weeks, he'll be home for a week and then gone for 5 months in a war zone. BLAHHHHHHH  So training on Wednesday just didn't happen. I had myself a little pity party and now I'm good. Had a great day training yesterday.

Today is my long run day I'm gonna try to get to the gym to do it cause there treadmills are much better than ours and they seem to make it easier on my knees.

I am so sorry.  Is there anything we can do for you or for him to make this time pass just a tiny bit easier? My prayers are with both of you.

Just a thought - Girl Scouts is sending GS cookies to troops. I could find out if we can choose where they go.

BigDH - 2011-01-28 1:34 PM I could slap myself silly. I skipped my yoga yesterday because I was too tired. Now I am stiff and grumpy because I didn't sleep well. It only takes 10 minutes. Grrrrrr.
