What's going on today?

Good morning everyone!

Who is working out today?

me me meeeee!!!!!

Had a great spin class this morning.

Would like the weather to break warmer for some outdoor riding. We've had a lot of cold drizzle lately.

Good morning everyone!

What's the plan for the week?

Morning Everyone! 

Wow its been too long. Its been an absolutely crazy few weeks but I have maintained my workouts. I swam 1400 yds and ran 4.5 miles this morning and it felt great! I got a new road bike and cant wait to take it on long rides. I have also been trying to decide my race schedule. Most of the races i want to do seem to be in september and october with beach to battleship being october 29th! There is a 5k coming up in April that i figured i should do just for fun. How is everyone else?? 

My schedule is looking similiar. I am doing 3 races the last weekend in August, I have nothing in Sept, then a tri and a marathon in Oct.

eurasn1 - 2011-03-14 9:50 AM Morning everyone.  Does 2 days in an indoor waterpark count for any workouts.  Seemed to have to do everything twice with my 3 yr old and my 6 yr old daughter (her birthday present was the trip).  If only all the swims included the lazy river at the waterpark.  Could do that all day long and the times would be great.

That's a great idea

That sounds like a great workout! :-) 

The lazy river is the best part of any water park I think. 

Afternoon, all!  Back from a week (or so) of the dead.  Knee surgery a week ago Friday (March 4th), travelled for work all last week, so workouts have been non-existant.  Goal this week is to start PT on the knee and, maybe, start to spin a little.  Once the incisions heal I can get back in the water and swim; running is out for the foreseeable future.

Had a good news, bad news report after surgery:

Good News - did not need reconstruction as the ACL was a little stretched but not to the point that it needed to be replaced.  Only needed to be trimmed where is it was frayed.  Along with that, I had several meniscus tears cleaned up, some floating cartiledge "sucked out" and lots of arthritis scraped out. 

Bad News - Doc reports a great deal of wear on the knee and strongly suggests that I discontinue running lest I hasten the need for replacement.  Not sure how I feel about that as I REALLY like to run.  I'm not good at it but enjoy it most of the 3 disciplines (when my knees are healthy.)

So, for now, I'll stick to spinning & swimming, try to find a good PT and look for aqua-bike races throughout the summer.  Maybe I can do a sprint toward the end of the year, pending progress and "approval" by the Doc (and the wife.)

Oh, and Ditto on the water park...

Sorry to hear that man.

Good morning everyone!

Sorry I was MIA the past couple of days. I've been hit with the flu.

Good morning everyone!

What's going on?

My workouts yesterday were playing soccer and baseball with my kiddos.

Happy Monday Everyone!

I had a pretty good weekend. Decided to do a half marathon Sunday morning and it was great! Finished in 1 hour 56 minutes. My plan for this week is to swim 3 days and bike two days either outside or spin class. I have really grown to like spin class but weather is definitely getting better for outdoor rides. How is everyone?
