I ran 40 minutes at the gym, could have gone longer but for some reason I never want to. Hahahahaha. I've had such a crappy day, nothing bad in general, just a lot of small things all at once. I'm so buggered off about this olympic training plan....argh. I cannot do all the things on it PLUS have a life I guess. It's ticking me off, mostly because I'm at work 12 hours a day and then I have to come home after the gym and do housework etc because I have a husband that just plainly refuses to help out with things, even on his days off. He doesn't know that on Saturday's when he works all I do mostly is clean house. I just want it to be nice because I like it that way. Sigh. I've been upset all bloomin day like a big child.

 

Sorry, I should have blogged all this mush!!! I am going to up my mileage again if that's ok, to 20. It's only half way through (almost) and I'm already at 10. I ran 40 minutes but only got 2.66 miles. I'm disappointed in that. I don't know how fast I should be running in order to better myself these days.........pants.

sorry about the crappy day lynne--if it makes you feel any better, i run like CRAP on a treadmill. i can stay at a steady 10mm (usually) but on a treadmill, i'm dang killing myself to do a 15 mm why?? no idea. try running outside and see if there's a difference, betcha $100 you'll feel better about it.

I've had the same experience.  I can't run a 12 minute mile on a treadmill, but I can consistently run 11 minute outside.  Something about the treadmill just makes it so much harder to run.  Try getting outside and see if that makes you feel any better.  

lyssa-gator - 2008-02-13 12:41 AM OK, and the real reason i stopped by. my b-day is coming up (ok, not SO coming up, it's in april, but a girl has to be prepared ) anyway, i have it in my head to get a gps thing-for-running. like a garmin or a suunto, i also just saw the nike + thing (i think lynne said she had that??) where you put the thing in your shoe, and it does all the stuff and sends it to your ipod (well, actually i don't HAVE an ipod, so THAT one might be out) anyway, i know i can go look on the gear guide thing, but i'm too lazy, so what do you all have, or use, or recommend?? money is NO object (LOLOLOL) well, actually, it KIND of is. i mean i can't like break the bank or whatever, but my b-day is still a few months away, so i don't think spending a couple hundred is going to kill dh. no run for me this day.

I'm kinda a data junkie, so I LOVE my Garmin Forerunner 305. 

my goodness....you mean you have been running all those miles without music! you are one heck of a pace booty Allyssa. There is a shuffle being sold now on the BT auction...I love my 80GB nano...I may have an extra shuffle for you dear! let me look around. I upgraded and have no idea where I put that little guy! but if I find it ....i will pass it on! I just got a garmin 301 yesterday...I am psyched. I did not use it, but will let you know later this week...how I like it and if it made me faster...hehe

I am going in to the office again for more moving....then an afternoon swim. Was in the 70's here...supposed to have this weather for the next week...before we get some rain....so, looks like the next week will be spent on my bicycle...before the rain starts! and of course my runs with scissors! Have a great day everyone!

yay TinkerBeth! KIU! hope your day is a great one!!

I LOVE my garmin 305, and I got it for $160 on amazon.com.  You may find a good deal on ebay, too, especially since the 405 is coming out soon.  It works on bike or run, you can set your hr zones on it, it gives you a really cool graph of elevation, hr, pace, etc.  And there are lots of cool training things I haven't tried yet.  And you can have it auto pause for stopping at lights etc.  If you run on a treadmill you can get a foot thingy, altho you don't need it since the treadmill gives you distance and pace and time.  You can turn the gps off and just use the hr monitor.  I have a garmin 101, too, which is fine but it doesn't do hr or plug into the computer.   

Aren't we supposed to get a couple of inches tomorrow?  I am hoping for nice and warm too 

OK...After 30 years working in a fire station you have no idea how hard difficult this is to do but...

I am going to take the high road here and not do any more to that sentence than I already have.  With the people in this group I will guarantee that we could have the thread shut down by supper time.

Funny, I guess I should be clearer.  Thanks for cleaning it up for me.

Maybe I should have just posted this

Thursday:  Snow with strong northerly winds. Total snowfall in the Denver area will be 4 to 6 inches north and east, with 5 to 9 inches in the southern and western suburbs.

Reminds me of the funny video on one of the "Watch Me Do Something Stupid/Funny" shows...Very HOT and Very Blond news anchor saying to the Perfect Hair Weather guy..."So Bill.....where is that 7" you promised us last night?"

He spewed...BIG TIME.

Some of us have WORK to do! 

I'd rather be here hanging out with you.
