Eesh--sorry--I'm a little late to this party.

I'm Jonah. This is my third year of tris, I'm scheduled for IM70.3 Rhode Island in July as my A race, and a few other things along the way.

Bad news is, about a week ago, I reinjured my calf, an injury that bothered me all last year and which I thought was healed, with the help of PT and my ortho. So, running's out for the moment. I had a half-mary in DC that I'm going to have to drop out of in March.

So, I've re-jiggered my goals to include more biking and swimming and added some strength goals to make up for the lack of running.

Welcome! Better late than never.

Sorry you've injured your leg and have to drop your half mary. I hope you'll be healed real soon

Got in my swim and strength today, but not easily. My motivation was dead so I procrastinated forever, then finally headed into the city only to find out there was a pump problem and the pool was closed. I stood there for a moment and debated going back to Brooklyn and just forgetting it, but I had a swim time trial and strength training on the schedule and knew if I didn't do it, my coach would have to adjust the whole week. So I got on the train and went to another gym location uptown and did the swim and strength. It took far longer than I was planning, but it felt good to stick to the plan for once!

Hey, New Yawk Hawtie!  Whip this team into shape and get them a-postin'.

I'll be in NIBBS for a few minutes if you wish to drop in.  Ciao.

Ok, finally got my pathatic workouts into the spreadsheet.  I have a lot of ground to make up, but I can't kick this chest cold so my workouts are suffering because of it.

LazyMarathoner - 2009-02-08 7:13 AM Well I survived my inaugural ride on the new tri bike and my first ride since last fall. I rode close to 1.5 hours to get a feel for the bike and practice being in aero. I have to say it was a lot of fun, although a little scary. Little by little I'll get it back.

Glad the ride went well Kristin!

I'm heading into the city for a run TT. I could do it on the treadmill, but my former daily run was along the Hudson River where there is a great path and it's long, straight and flat so it is perfect for a time trial. I'm nervous! LOL. It's just three miles to see what I'm capable of. Should be fun. I'm pairing it with a trip to the Tribeca Bed Bath and Beyond. I have to make all visits to the city worthwhile

I also have a bike workout on tap for this afternoon.

Hi everyone! Nice training going on here!!!

I didn't train at all this weekend. Between the 14 hours driving, tax preparation,  and family drama, I just didn't get it done. I did get in a 6.5 mile run and 14.4 mile bike yesterday, so I'm back at it. I've got some make up work to do now though so it's gonna be a challenge.

Went to the track since my son is home with a cold from school, I had him ride is tricycle while I ran. I had to keep back tracking to keep him in the outer lane away from the other runners. He went around 6 times! A little over 1.5 miles. This is my son who had a infant stroke and wears above the knee braces to walk, I,m so proud of him. He had so much fun too.

I am plugging away too, between work and sick kids this challenge is really starting to be a  challenge for me, I'll get there!

Took the day off and went snowboarding today.  This doesn't help with my goals, but I had a blast.  Decided I should have waited a few more days though, since this chest thing I have going still isn't kicked.  I am feeling much better, but it still hurts to do anything that requires higher heart rates and heavy breathing.

I have a lot of ground to try and make up.  Wish me luck.

What a great accomplishment for him! How wonderful that you were able to combine your workouts with time with your son. You must be setting the most positive example.

He is a go getter!  This is him last winter in a sit ski at 3 yrs old!
