Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well, crap. I spent my entire birthday morning at the doctor's office with my perpetually sick child. Turns out what I thought was a little asthma flare is strep throat, a sinus infection and an asthma flare. Oops. I am glad I took him in today and didn't wait any longer (even though my lunch with friends got canceled.) So, after the doctor, we headed to have lunch at the bowling ally and then bowled a game. I won. And I didn't even use the bumpers! ![]() |

The went to BW3....stayed up to late. I am sure tired. Tomorrow I am scheduled for a Jingle Bell run - forecast is 28 with a windchill of 21 or 19 or something. What am I thinking? Have 2 trials set on Monday - and just such a busy weekend with sleepovers and parties. Oy vey. May have to work through lunch to keep up and turn today into a rest day unfortunately. OH SNAP, that's cold, DUANE. id say do what you need to do to get in what's most important. good luck w all thats on your plate right now. stacieb Yes - the first real cold snap of the year. It will be a new one for me - as I only real got back into running last fall - and I didn't run outside until it got warm. Oddly enough I am looking forward to the experience. I also figured out I miscalendered one of my trials - it doesn't start until Wed. (thank goodness had the right day on the subpoenas) so - I did go to the Y and had a "workout" of sorts. Went back to that same bike and got 10 more miles in - but no resistance. Studied the darn thing and could not change that at all. Asked my neighbor on a stairmaster who pondered that it might be broke, but "the guy" was coming in next week to look at some of the other equipment. I learned it is not a spin bike as she suggested that one. I don't like it as it does not have a distance calculator on it. I also did a mile run after the bike - so I am doing much better in Dec. than I did in Nov. as the man, Tony Horton says.... BRING IT! lets go Vixens, revisited. |

BRING IT! lets go Vixens, revisited. cold weather running isnt as bad as people make it out to be. the key (i think) a good base layer and keep your CORE warm ooooh and my GAITER. i love me my NECK GAITER wont leave home w/out it. cold weather is my preference too. actually cold and wet is my fave .....give me cold over hot to run anyday. enjoy the experience. &im glad today worked out better than you thought and your schedule isnt gonna be as challenging as you orginally anticipated. and the bike thing...so odd. the spin bikes at our Y dont record mileage either, though i always estimate 1 hr =15 miles. the stationary bikes in the Fitness Center do record mileage, but i have to pretty darn desperate to hop on one of those suckers. keep on keepin' on! stacieb Edited by skrtrnr 2009-12-04 3:42 PM |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() So my weekend dilemma...... I have a 10 miler and a 4.5 miler on the schedule along with a 30 min swim. I had planned 10 today with a swim and run tomorrow. But it is raining and about 38-40 outside. I don't like running in the cold rain. I'm thinking of switching days but my Y has a swim meet today so no lap swim. I am just not sure if I have a 10 miler and a swim in me for tomorrow.....6 degrees colder and I could run in the snow.....I love doing that..... Hmmmmm |
