Looks like I will not get my 10 mile bike ride in outside today.  We already have 20 mph winds outside and forecast says they will get up to 45 mph with 60-70 mph gusts.  I think I will go spend an hour on the stationary bike in the gym instead.  Hope everyone has better weather for their training than we are!  Shins are a little sore this morning, but not too bad.  

I am starting to get a little nervous about the upcoming Bataan.  I have 65 days left prior to the march.  I intend on marching, not running the 26.2 mile course, but my mileages now are only topping out at 4 miles in a session.  Would it be beneficial to change my Saturday long jog into a walking session and increase the mileage?  For example, I was thinking about this Saturday instead of the timed jog session I have scheduled do a 6 mile walk.  Then increase the distance 2 miles per week, which would get me up to about 22 miles the week prior to the march.  Advice?

Figure out your "A" race and train for that. I would stick to running. If you can run 4 miles, you can walk 26.2 miles. just my two cents! 

have a great weekend.

Ok stupid newbie question, what is an "A" race?  Is that the main race you want to complete?

Go for the cycle trainer, puts you on your bike in the proper position. Killer workouts on the cycle trainer. if you can afford to get fluid type, apparently much quieter, although mine seems noisy.

'A' Race as I understand, it is your highest priority race and you should taylor your training towards that. Basically the race in which you want to perform at the highest level I guess... I have not yet had enough races in a year, or a solid enough training plan to really figure this out...but basically. prioritizing.

Swimming and Spinning brick tomorrow, hopefully after a nice full meal tonight (Shepherd's pie, one of my specialities, with sweet potato) and a full night's rest, and then house hunting in the afternoon.

Workout #10 today - I've been busy at home and work and workouts, so the last few days have been on 6 hours of sleep, and I'm feeling it; my recovery just isn't there now, so I skipped lifting today and decided to get an LSD run in.  15k, for a personal best, in 1:45.  The last three miles were rough, and the whole thing was rough, and I'm still feeling gassed three hours later.  

I think the answer is pretty self-explanatory, for the distance-runners here, at what point do you start needing to eat on the run?  From cycling, I know the rule of thumb is about 200 to 300 calories per hour after the first hour, preferably from simple carbs.  I presume the same applies to running?

Proud to report that I made it through the cleanse and colonoscopy unscathed.  As it turned out - it really wasn't bad - although I was bummed out I didn't get to see the inside of my colon on a big screen TV!  And most importantly, it proved that I have dodged my mom's colon cancer at least for another 5 years!

Gonna take it easy today and then tomorrow I plan on getting my yoga sesson in along with a ride.  

Thanks for the support and have a great weekend!

Yummy!  What time should we be over for dinner  ... FedEx will overnight food right? lol

Enjoy, sounds like you have earned it.

Great news.  Talking about the big screen, maybe MTV could make a reality show about these procedures.  Heck it would still be better than Jersey Shore.  When I did mine thank goodness I didn't see it either.

Ok, how are we counting our 30/30?  20 mins counts as one?  

I am exhausted...awoke at 3:30, couldn't get back to sleep until about 15 mins before the alarm went off...hit the snooze, a lot!  What woke me up was the baby crying...he had a bad tummy ache, left late, two inches of snow on the ground...barely made it to work on time, (usually 20 mins to a half an hour early)...I am exhausted! Oh said that!

Ate horribly yesterday, buffet at the casino with some friends from work.  No need for dinner still too full.  No time for breakfast this morning but I did grab an egg white, spinach & mushroom omlet on a whole wheat bagel at 10 this morning!  Yummo!  

I am supposed to drive to So Cal this weekend and have plans to go to Disneyland...not sure if that is going to happen since it snowed in Northern Los Angeles and they are expecting more bad weather.  Bitter sweet, excited about disneyland but hate to give the kid back...I will miss him terribly!

My understanding, but Thor can clarify is that they have to be separate workouts, but 'At Least' 20 mins long...

20minutes is the minimum, separate workouts. As long as you are getting your workouts in I am happy!

Re: Bicycle trainers - Performance Bike usually has some good deals on new trainers, and  name-brand trainers like Kurt Kinetic and Cycleops are durable and good to pick-up used; Craigslist is a great source.
