Amy - how are you going with your new shoes? Have you started the Masters swimming yet? And how is your gym's biggest loser competition going?

Welcome to page 6!

Jennifer! There is nothing on your logs! How are you going?

Oops double post

Krystyna - how have you gone looking into wind trainers?

And I think I forgot to answer your question about running with a backpack - have you tried it yet? I've never run with anything on my back, the heaviest thing I carry is an iPod!!! I guess my advice would be don't carry anything too heavy! You may need some BodyGlide for chaffing. Maybe visit a running store and see if they recommend any specific backpacks?

Laurie - there is nothing on your logs for the past week! How have you been?

Neil - theres nothing on your logs at all this year and we haven't seen you on here - have we lost you? Let us know how you're getting along!

Val - have you been busy at work? How are you going managing to squeeze the workouts in?

Jimmy - I can see you're still training every day!!! Are you going to take a few rest days before the marathon???

Kate - when do you find out if you got into the Great North Run?

Madeleine - I haven't heard from you since you signed up! Let us know how you're getting along

Right! I have just checked all of your logs and left inspires! I am seriously impressed with all the exercise most of you are doing! Well done

I've decided not to get a wind trainer and instead use the stationary bikes at school until the roads are rid of ice and snow! And, I did try running with a backpack filled with the stuff I needed for school, but it was near impossible, so I am running AT school and changing there. Much better, with a higher quality workout!

I hope everyone is doing well! I'm experiencing bitter -32C winter days!!

Jimmy - I can see you're still training every day!!! Are you going to take a few rest days before the marathon???

 

I believe in the saying "I can rest when I am dead" Seriously I am only going to do 1 short run today and then take Friday and Saturday as rest days prior to the marathon on Sunday. After that I will be back on my 7 day schedule to lead up to my 50 miler in April.

Maybe alllow yourself a few rest days AFTER the marathon too ... at least 2! You don't want to get injured

Good luck!!! I am looking fwd to reading the race report

That sounds like a much better plan!

And -32C??? Holy carp. This morning here it was 29C/85F even before the sun came up, and its predicted to hit 40C/105F today.

I think a short work out is better than no work out  I'm not surprised that doubling up wipes you out! I don't think thats recommended. I think just keep working at it and fitting in exercise where and when you can. You'll eventually find a way or make one

Good luck for the shih tzu! That would be so cute seeing one running around the agility course You should post some photos!

TGIF! I am off to work now, and then have Sat, Sun & Mon off. Yay!

Hi guys! Happy Saturday! I just did a really hard 64k/40 mile ride through the hills. I climbed a scary road called Welshpool Rd, it just keeps going up and up for 6k, I've never done it before and it was a bit of a mental barrier. Now its conquered

Hi guys! Happy Sunday! Hows things?

I am about to go off and do a 12k/7.5 mile run very sloooowly after yesterday's bike effort. Whats everyone else got planned?

GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR MARATHON JIMMY!!!!

Let us know how it goes

BUMP! 

Good morning team! Happy Tuesday! It looks like this whole page is just me talking to myself!!! How is everyone going?

Me again! I have just gone through and inspired you all. I've also send private messages to five of you who we haven't heard from for a while. I hope you're all getting along OK. Let me know if I can be of any help!

Lets get some chatting going on here. It doesn't have to be exercise or training related, lets get to know eachother!

Well, I'm personally enjoying the winter snow and getting calves of steel running through it for a couple of hours a week!

Masters swimming restarts tonight - and I might be moving up to a speedier lane. Exciting!

I'm really having a tough time finding triathlons in my area. There's always the annual triathlon in Montreal (which is what I went to in September) but that's not nearly enough. Hmf. So many are in the US or west, in B.C.
