 123 |  Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSEDSpeed work runday! 2 mile warm up followed by 4 at tempo. So I tried out Jackie's suggestion to start out slower and increase. I just wasn't sure what I could hold and I wanted to practice going a little faster for each mile. So I did 1 mile at 9:50, 1 at 9:40, and 1 at 9:30 and 1 at 9 finishing at 8:45 for the last little bit just because I could. I heard Dennis post, start uncomfortable and stay there like a mantra over and over in my head. It was uncomfortable for me but I also set a new Beth Land Treadmill record! Thanks guys!

35  Madison, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED You have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable! Nice work on the treadmill! This morning I spent an hour on the trainer. My planned workout was something that my coach called the "hamster wheel." Basically it meant that I needed to go 60 minutes at a constant speed and resistance. So that was boring. This evening I dragged the hubby out of the apartment to go for a swim. We spent 45 minutes swimming laps, including some speed work. Way more fun than the bike  DaveL. 18 19:30:00 Mitch 18 14:17:16 Dennis 18 18:20:00 Joe 16 16:50:41 Jackie 16 21:37:16 Dan 16 20:37:08 Melissa 16 22:51:30 Beth 16 16:29:00 Patrick 15 10:07:00 Gabe 14 22:24:45 Jim 14 13:09:12 Seth 10 10:44:00 Kate 15 16:08:32 Brian 9 11:40:00 Mark Z. 10 12:00:00 Dave C. 10 11:59:00 Rachel 8 07:25:46 Mark H 10 8:03:00 Todd 5 06:15:00 Lisa 5 05:52:07 Scott 5 4:34:00 Kevin 3 01:40:0 |

It's getting so bad that I was actually looking at the 920XT on the Garmin site today. I would love to have the ability to upload with my phone via Bluetooth instead of my laptop. But I was just dreaming, definitely can't afford that right now, I still have a bike on lay-a-way! |

The good thing is that TOS gives you a 24hr window to complete your daily workout, if not I would be out from the beginning. I will also have to skip my half marathon race on Sunday, but I'm prioritizing quality time with the family (building up some points which will come in handy later on with my full IM's).
