Member 79 | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Hi everyone. Glad januarys out of the way. It's meant to be our quiet month at work and it's turned out to be our busiest month on record.managed to get a solid training month in the bag but had little time for much else. Going to try and use my commute to work to get some of my running and biking mileage in. Looks like everyone making great improvements already keep up the good work. cheers Simon |

Expert 1146 Chugiak, Alaska | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Now that February is here, some goals that I would like to accomplish are: continue running 4x a week and steadily increase the volume by 1 - 1 1/2 mile per week till long run is near half mary distance by my race on May 1st. Bike over 140 miles on the trainer so that when spring comes (JUNE) I will be much more ready than last year. Swimming is still sidelined for now so that I can get some skiing in. Oh and lose 5 pounds! Was able to get an 1:25 hour (24 miles) on the trainer today. It is -13 out right now (-38 when I woke up!), but hopefully it will warm up tomorrow so I can get my long run in outside. Stay warm everyone!!! Edited by robingray_260 2011-02-02 2:07 PM |

New user 36 Portland, OR | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED I've been a little jealous of you guys with the crazy snow and winter weather. I love snow and we hardly ever get any here. Today though, I went out for a run and the sun was shining and it felt like spring! It was really invigorating and fun. My goal for February is to continue to build volume in my running and biking. Also I'm hoping to try out some local group rides if I can get my schedule and the weather to cooperate. |

Elite 4583 | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Wow, wow, wow! I spoke too soon about the size of my thighs! I was just up in my closet and put on a pair of pants I wore to school probably two weeks ago and they are now HUGE! I could pull them right off without unbuttoning (I know, meaningless without pictures!) So I started trying on other pants and I cannot believe how big all my pants are!!! Some are seriously so big I cannot wear them. I'm shocked! My weight has dropped a few pounds...but holy cow is my body changing after all! Oh happy day! |

| Veteran 107 | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED GmrGirl - 2011-02-02 1:13 PM February Goals - learn how to breath and swim at the same time. Get my short runs up to 30 minutes at a time regardless of distance and my long weekend runs up to 5 miles. None of those seem too unrealistic and are keeping in with my "baby steps" approach. Your goals sound great they don't seem unrealistic. They sound very attainable! Keep up the great work  |

That is what I counted on far more than the scale. So many things affect weight day to day and week to week. But iof you are exercising and eating fewer calories than you are burning, the weight will come off. Congrats. I know how huge that experience is. Enjoy it. Hell, get addicted to it. it kept me sweating and going long after I wanted to head for home some days. And yes, poster size pictures would be nice but not mandatory  |

Expert 961 Illinois _ Chicago area | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Had a tempo run today for the marathon training. OH WOW! My legs were trashed! Felt like moving two hunks of lead. Consequently my tempo run was slower than it should have been, but I finished. Phew! I thought my arms would be sore from all the shoveling, not my legs. And actually, the arms aren't too bad. And more shoveling today. Since I'm home I figured I'd get some laundry and stuff done around the house. But in order to do laundry I needed to uncover the dryer vent....which was buried under a HUGE pile of snow along the side of the house . SIGH! |

Master 1343 Minneapolis, Minnesota | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Nice run this morning. 3.22 in 43. Home for lunch right now, eating lentils and brown rice. Trying to eat less meat. Rowing machine is ready for my after work meters. Inglishteecher (sp?) NICE JOB on the thigh thing. I have the same thigh issues so hopefully I'll see similar results. Thanks for the inspiration! |

Regular 139 Salem | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Hey Mc Fuzzies ! Thnks for the inspires and sorry I have been absent. I have not had surgery yet.....arhh. I have an appointment next week to get everything lined out. I have been dealing with a knee and shoulder issue. So, I have taken some time off and they havent seemed to improve. I guess that means more doctors in the future. I'm hoping to keep a light schedule of training going the next few weeks to see how everything goes. I hope everybodys training is going as planned.

Veteran 323 Sandusky, OH | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Congrats to everyone on their successes last month! Training does pay off... And for those who want to make improvements, it's a brand new month . February sure has turned out snowy! We've gotten about 10-12 in here total the past couple of days coupled w/ ice on top=not so fun driving an hour to work. But I survived working Wed and Thursday and actually got a double workout in before and after work yesterday. So now I'm off till Monday! YAY! Successes- pretty much stayed on target w/ training. Still doing P90X 1-2 week. Getting more sleep February goals- keep my sanity w/ training and 2 jobs. Con't building on the bike and making my bike workouts priority. Have fun |
