Run done for the day.  Now if I get a swim in tonight I would be quite pleased with myself.  We'll see...

Hey guys!!  Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!! (i ate waaaaaaaaay too much!!)

Randall, I would personally use the olympic plan and probably either do more hill work or speed work than what the plan would call for.  most importantly tho is that you listen to what your body is telling you that you need to do..............a plan is good to use as a general framework to your workouts but dont be afraid to go "off course" if you feel like it!!

ak - didya get that swim in???

CHRISTMAS WAS GREAT!!  Went to the gym one day otherwise just had a good ol' time!

I think my goal for the winter is going to be Crossfit....the base gym has a FREE (yes I said FREE) class, twice a day mon-fri!!! I have looked into Crossfit gyms for a while now and its EXPENSIVE!!! My goal is to get back into body-building/fitness comp shape by the time we get to Cali.... which means get body fat to 18-20% and tone up!

Hi everyone! I'm back from the dead...was down sick for 8 or 9 days (over Christmas - yuk). Feeling better now. I got a 10k run in yesterday, and it was painful. My illness set me back a whole month. I have a 26.2 on Jan 17th, so I need to get with it. I hope everyone else had a great Christmas holiday.

where is your marathon?

WOW.......take your time recovering! Welcome back!

Can't be too cold there! ENJOY!

I got a good 16 mile run in last night after work. I still feel a bit weak from my cold last week, but I really needed to get the miles in. Just one more long run this coming Sunday (18-19 miles) before I start tapering for my race Jan 17th.

By the way, I'm shopping for an entry level road bike...I'm eyeballing the Giant Defy 3, about $750 which is about all I can afford right now...any yeas or nays on this one?

excellent job on the good 16!!  EEEAAAWWWsome!!!  i havent heard any bad things about the giant road bikes and almost got one myself a few years back but opted for my tri bike instead.  if you like it and can afford it i say go for it!!

Happy New year!! Hubby and I ran a 4 mile run last night on NYE.....ran fast (for me) in the freezing COLD rain......AWESOME!!!

just got done with the first of what i hope will be three 20+ runs over the next 10-11 days then its taper time for me!  everyone gearing up for there upcoming events??  i know i am but yet cant wait to become a triathlete again and stop all this run focus stuff!!!

for now i would focus more on getting the time in the pool and start hitting more speed work come march (but still throw in some speedwork now, just not as much......)

in the desert, on a dirtbike trail, going longer than planned...........whats not to like???

Well, I finally hit the gym again.  Funny how 6 weeks of "resting my injuries" have turned into almost 4 months.  I really need to get back at it too, especially after the Holiday eating that was happening.  I hope that everyone has a great week to start off the New Year.
