It was pretty miserably cold her last week also, so most of my workouts were forced indoors.  I managed to get in an [almost] 2 hour ride on my trainer which I'm pretty proud of myself for (previous longest trainer ride was 90 min).  I seriously can't wait for spring .  Hope everyone had a good weekend!!

Hope that helps.

The best bike is the one you love. Nice looking Steed!

My midweek report:  I got in every single workout on my schedule, including the strength workouts that I've been ignoring until now (though not all of them have been 100%).  I even made up my track workout on the treadmill yesterday when the school was closed b/c of snow.  Pretty happy with that, though I've felt as though I've been run over by a truck all week.  Hopefully this will get easier!  Swim practice this morning was my last workout until the weekend run and ride, and I'm hoping for good enough weather to do them both outside.

Nutrition.... let's not even talk about that :-)  My refrigerator broke last Friday night and hasn't been replaced yet, so I've been using that as an excuse and eating out every single meal.  Not good!!  Need to work on that.

Congrats on making this improvement!!

I always get a ton of water up my nose when I try flip turns, and I finally just gave up :-)  Good luck with them!  And those are great improvements on the swim, keep it up! 

Midweek for me. Got one workout in, my run was cut short and turned into a power walk. I am evidently STILL not done with this flu. I traded a rest day for a workout day due to work travel and work dinner. I have a brick to do today. If I have to cut it short, I will be ticked off!

Flip turns: I don't do them, I learned how but I like to keep my pool times as close to a similar OW swim as possible. I try not to even push off very hard from the wall.

Looks like folks are making forward progress! That is good. Remember, sometimes staying in the same place is forward progress.

hmmm.  Midweek was yesterday, so Monday was back to an old workout.  10 minutes on the trainer, jump off 10 push ups, and continue for an hour.  Then stretch, then drove 30 minutes for a trails meeting and back home..  Tuesday, I got home late for work, did a 30 minute walk on the treadmill at 5.0 angle and then drove 30 minutes to play music as a fund raiser.  Wednesday was an hour on the drainer and some stretching. 

That trainer/pushup workout looks great. In a painful sort of way. I may add that to my Sunday long trainer ride.

I used to do this on my 50 plus mile trainer rides.  I would do 20 miles, then max out on pushups, then do crunches then back on the bike, and then do 10 miles repeat, repeat, etc...

Some days it was just all bike, but the change was good workouts of other parts of the body.  I can't wait until I am back to being able to do those longer rides again.  Give it a shot and let me know what you think.

Welcome Dante.

Sunday update for me. Weight down a pound! This weeks goal is a minimum of 2 pounds!

I missed lots of my training, mostly for not feeling well enough. Dammit, it has been over a month!!! I am way behind. I hope to feel well enough to get it all in this week. If I can, I think I can still pull a HIM off. I mean, all I am trying to do is beat the cut-off time. So, I got my long swim and my long run in. Today will be long bike but I missed a swim, a run and a brick!!

Nutrition was great! I prepared salads and took them with me while traveling. Ate them all three days. Had an emergency and had to eat fast food. Had a salad at Subway. Dinners were pretty darn good.

This week should be pretty good (fingers crossed). My long run will be the Hot Chocolate run in Atlanta. The only problem may be getting my long bike in on Sunday due to travel time.

How is everyone doing?
