Choices are sitting on your duff and returning to the old David, going super hard and ending up injured more than healthy or slowing work your way up...less is more! You can still hammer out the swims and bikes I am guessing.thor67 - 2013-01-15 8:42 AM 30/31 report card day!! I am at 14. Going to bag a swim after work. Should be at 20 by the end of the week...hopefully. How is everyone else doing? 15... BUT - I need to put a Lance Armstrong size asterisk by it... A lot of the workouts have been cut short with the goal of avoiding injury... Personally - getting to 30 is motivating me - but you guys are crushing me in actual workout time. Thanks man! To be honest - I'm trying to follow the 16 week beginner plan to a T and see if that helps. So far, even with the reduced time on the bike and out on the road, my ITB - especially on my left side - is still sore. But I'm icing as we speak so onward! I also seen a study on how fruit beers can cause ITB issues.... Seriously, my wife swears by the foam roller.... |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() SportzVision - 2013-01-16 11:09 PM Spent 98 minuts onn the trainer tonight watching St. Ralph. I realized that my run on the beach was fast, well for me, I did not time myself but I was suppose to meet my daughter after 35 mins but she said I was 30 minutes late. Forgot my watch but that puts me at 65 minutes. That is really fast for me. I even had to stop because I got a bloody nose and needed to pick up some tissue. Hard to run with a bloody noes but it is possible. People look at you oddly too. If it wasn`t for the bleeding nose, I would say you are a machine! 98 minutes on the trainer? 65 minute beach run? Must have been tourists looking at you oddly.... |

Got my workouts confused, today was supposed to be a brick and I thought it was a bike ride. Guess I should update my google calendar to match my goals I posted on here! Anyhow enjoying a nice Santa Fe Nut Brown Ale! Have a good evening! Nice job on the beer, er, I mean workout! |

I watch both on the odd occasion that I feel like I am not up to it.This morning's gym workout was plagued by no less than NINE Nickelback songs (I don't wear headphones when I lift). NINE. I'm relatively certain that I have died and gone to hell, sentenced for the mortal sin of actually knowing nine Nickelback songs. Speaking of music, I'm at the point in my winter training regime where, if it were a movie, it would cut to a montage of training and in 2 minutes I would be running an Ironman. My question, my friends, is what would your montage theme song be? Something classic, like "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor, something heavy, like "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath, or something else? -Charles Gotta love Johnny Cash HURT! I will add KD Lang Halleleujah...I know slow but what can I say? Also Stand Tall by the Dirty Heads. Any Black Keys as well. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well first off had a pretty good run this morning. Just about didn't go again! Daughter up twice last night, crazy snow this morning, lazy etc. etc. just excuses! Did my run and row and feel better for it. Have my swim and bike lined up for tonite! Last night was tri club meeting. 4 people showed up. Plus there are about 4 more that I know of that couldn't make it so it looks like it is a go with baby steps. 2/4 have done a couple try a tri. Spent most of the hour just talking triathlon which is one the main goals I had in mind for this group. Now to stay the course! |

I think that is what makes tri's and Ironman so cool. There is a lot of work that goes into it! |

Just a normal gel type thingy (this is a very official high tech word) or is there a larger one that will cover more area? I have a reusable one that is about 4" x 12". Seems it is always a bit short or never wide enough. I generally make my own using zip lock bags. You get what size you need and fill it with half rubbing alcohol and half water about half full, then lay them flat in the freezer to freeze. Works good for me! May need to use them myself, got my 10 mile bike in now going to the gym to hit the dreadmill! Will let you all know how it goes.
This is a sweet idea! I am going to try it! I got a pretty inexpensive one for my back at the Pharmacy here, and it does hot an cold which is nice. I think it was twenty bucks, I have only ever used it on my back, but it should work for other places too. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hahha... Wouldn't last long here in Timmins today doing that. It is FRIGID!!! Brrrr. Other than another acupuncture session I shut myself inside and cranked the gas fireplace to max! Back is feeling somewhat better today, and I am really feelin the ache in my Abs, this I guess is compensation for not using my lower back muscles? Does anyone else get that? Depending on how tomorrow morning finds my pain, I may try to hit up the pool for some easy laps! Because according to the scale, I have to get back on the Sweat Train. Haven't lost a pound since last weeks weigh in, Frustrating! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Got a nice 5 mile jog in today! Felt pretty good, but need to build up aerobic capacity, walked quite a bit, but the jogging I did felt great, shins on ice now and thinking about splitting a bottle of wine with the wife and watching Taken 2! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Today was a rough day. A good 1,000 yard swim, and a nice porter with dinner (and still under my calorie goal!), but I missed my spin class since I had to stay late to meet with some clients at work. My wife is having some difficulties with training and weight loss too, which is rough for everyone. Off to bed for now. Tomorrow's a new day. -Charles |

You are a beast and heading in the right direction with all that you are doing by dialing in your diet and training. You are smart to keep an eye on your pains and modify when appropriate. |

Getting ready to have either a Beck's light or a Shiner Seasonal (fruity alert). Boring, I know. I promise I am going to get some good stuff soon. |

I have been using a metronome to try to increase my cadence and it seems to work, I still get kinda sore, but nowhere near as bad as they were. |

I'm right there with you... Keep it up! A suggestion for the shin splints - if you strengthen the muscles that are what really hurt with shin splints - it will help the pain go away. Do toe raises - here's a link: http://running.about.com/od/injuryprevention/ht/toeraises.htm |

Sorry to hear you had a tough day at work and that your wife is struggling with her training. It's a journey. There are some days that totally blow - especially in the beginning. And then there are others where it all comes together... Having rested today, I bet you will have a great spin class the next time you are able to make it there. Be proud of the porter - by getting the swim in you avoiding having to drink a warm coors light |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I agree. Rough training days are a reality. Those rare days where it all comes together are special, and keep us coming back for more. Nothing like rewarding with good hoppy brew. Haven't checked in for a few. I'm posting this so that I make it happen tomorrow. I have a 13.6 mile long run scheduled tomorrow, and a 3 miler scheduled on Saturday. My wife is leaving for the 3 day weekend, so I have to get the long run in tomorrow prior to work, which means a 4:30 wake up for me in sub 20 deg. temps. so I can be to work by 8:00. I plan on taking it nice and easy. I've been closet weighing myself. I had made a goal to put the scale away at the beginning of the week. but after controlling portions and restraining myself on snacks after dinner, I'm down from 192 to 188. This is a great step in the right direction. I have a goal to race at 155 and walk around at 170. Last year I was able to make 170 for races, but never could walk around below 185. Mentally, training and weight can become a drag at times. That's when I have to remind myself of my goals, and be thankful that each day is another step in that direction. Prost! |

Outstanding work on the weight loss! You came so close last year and with the focus you put into training, I have no doubt that you will not only reach 155 but will crush your goal of a 3:30 marathon! Hope you are dreaming of tasty IPA's as I write this because in two hours your butt better be out the door. (-20 C or F?) Seriously, enjoy the run and the alone time with the girls! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OK Folks - It's Friday and time to check in and refocus on our goals. This morning, I got up at 4:30, stretched for 30 minutes, and am now icing my sore knees - all of which moves me closer to accomplishing my goals for the week and getting my hands on a bottle of Mystic Saison. So feel free to check in however you want (I'm going to cut and paste) but let us know how you are doing and more importantly what you are going to do to make it happen! Have a great weekend! Y'all are doing an amazing job! Keep it up!
