Does anyone use a bike trainer. Todays high is 22 and I can not get motivated  to ride. My first tri is Jan 31st. The run and bike will be cold so training outside may be better but I know i will train longer and more often inside.

marmadaddy - 2010-01-06 6:38 AM What's on tap for today folks?  Commit to today's workout here!

I have a swim this morning and then a short trainer session either this afternoon or this evening.

I use a set of rollers.  Give me a little more feel for the bike.  Yes dragging yourself to the basement to pump your legs for 2 hours is hard.  Get your water, movie and head band and do it man.  Will pay off greatly lately.

30 minutes on the bike trainer if I can fit it in.  My daughter is taking up a lot of my time.  Who knew how hard it was to wash super long thick hair in a sink.  We see the ortho trauma surgeon tomorrow.  Hopefully we can figure some way to shower her before.  Ewwww.  (actually she is sponge bathing but its not the same, ewwww). 

I do plan on going to yoga tonight also.  That is more of a priority than the bike.  i need to destress. 

bfwhitt - 2010-01-06 9:44 PM Nice job all, I am going to have yo log in earlier to get inspired...I hate mornings...but at least got a wimpy ride in tonight

I'm with you. I don't usually have time to log until the evening, late evening...mostly because I crossfit in the evening and have nothing to log. That's because I'm not a morning person and I don't normally workout in the morning...especially not during the winter!!!!

Looks like everyone did well today!

We are calling for the coldest temps tomorrow and even snow...but who knows? They've closed schools already ahead of this. We're just not used to this in the South. I drive to see patients and so it will depend on how the weather is tomorrow.

My neighbor's outside faucet pipe burst tonight...we walked out to lights flashing and gushing water down our driveway from her broken pipe. Luckily, she owns her own construction company and knew what to do.

bfwhitt - 2010-01-06 11:07 PM Last year I tried to get up one minute earlier every day, that worked for a while, then back to the same old habits, staying up late, eating popcorn and OJ, and thinking "hmmm I should be trying to go to bed earlier" and here I am at 11:10 blogging ..ahhhh

MAC36 - 2010-01-07 9:14 PM Damn pool closed again tonight due to snow. As the gym is in the same place as the pool that rules that out as well. Guess that leaves a tricky run in the snow tonight. The things we do to keep to a plan. Cant possibly have 2 nights off. Guilt factor would be far to much

zeefraugtries - 2010-01-08 1:42 AM I just have to brag a little right now....

I posted this on my logs, but basically I set a new PR at Crossfit tonight!

We had a hero WOD tonight, "Diane" (hero WOD is a benchmark workout, one we can measure against time after time for improvement) and it was supposed to be a rest day today for me, but since this workout as my very first real CF workout 8 weeks ago when I started, I wanted to see how much I had improved.

I increased my deadlift weight from 62 lbs to 83 lbs and dropped my finish time a by 12 seconds. What I'm excited about is the increase in weight and well, I know I finished faster, but I also know that I have to work on my form on my handstand pushups off the 20" box.

Now if I can only brag about a new PR for swim/bike/run.......

Thanks for listening.

Scratch that it is way tooooooo cold to be running round the streets like an idiot tonight. Roll on spring ! Find a way to do a double session tomorrow
