Chezz - 2010-01-05 2:29 PM I'm back and I'M IN for a weight loss challenge. I want to drop 10 lb before march.

KiwiJDRPH - 2010-01-02 8:33 PM I'm checking in! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Didn't make the Celtic Solstice 5 miler due to our humongous snowstorm of 23 inches over that weekend. I woke up at 6am, looked out my window and knew I'd never make it out of my development to downtown Baltimore. Some of the local diehards made it but I didn't make it out of my house until the next afternoon. Been sporadically running because of the weather. I need to use the treadmill if the conditions on the road are bad but I really hate treadmills because I do interval running and the treadmills at my gym aren't set up for treadmills. I'll have to figure out some speed work or try to lengthen my runs to get more distance in. Stop making excuses and the like! With the new year brought a new cold for me so I've been nursing that but feel like I should be able to make it to the gym tomorrow for a light workout since I've been slacking off over the holidays. Getting excited for a new year and a new racing season!

vibratingp00 - 2009-12-29 7:35 AM Sorry to hear that.  Heal up quick.

irondg - 2010-01-11 9:14 AM Hey Chezz,
How are you feeling.  Are you still back with us?  I have not seen anything logged for the month.

Chezz - 2010-01-11 10:15 AM

Finally got back on the wagon over the weekend after moving and travelling.  I've kept a food journal and was amazed at how easy you pile fat on your diet.  I am feeling good, although I will keep doing swim drills for the rest of the month while building my running and cycling base back.  I hate core work but did see the beenfits last year prior to my half marathon so will try to incorporate these as well.

The big news:  signed up for my first sprint and got 2 other colleagues from work in it, so it's no longer a hope to finish race, but a must win one!!  I am psyched! 

irondg - 2010-01-11 9:09 AMGreat logs.  How are you feeling after long bike sessions?  Still get the cramping or what have you decided to do?

jsiegs - 2010-01-11 12:01 PM I haven't done anything long/hard enough to tell and no real brick sessions at that. The bricks I did in training, even when at race effort for the bike, didn't bother me, it was just the races.

irondg - 2010-01-11 1:37 PM January Races:

I know we have 2 1/2 Marathon races this weekend.  One on the 16th and one on the 17th.  Does anyone else have a January race planned? 

cat grimstad - 2010-01-12 9:23 AM I took a break away from the computer. Was still working out lots. It is logged now. working on organizing the house to make our coming an going easyer.
My back is giving me trouble. (maby I souldn't of moved the piano by myself) will have to watch for a while.

Chezz - 2010-01-12 9:32 AM

nope, none this month.  I will do a short duathlon on Feb 20, on the exact same course as my first tri so this will give me an idea of what I'm getting into

KiwiJDRPH - 2010-01-14 1:14 PM I was starting to feel better Sunday into Monday. But when Tuesday came around I was feeling fatigued and sluggish again. All my other symptoms are mild but the exhausting is killing me. So I haven't worked out at all this week. Running girls both at work and outside of work told me to rest up and not push myself. I left work early yesterday, took a swig of Nyquil (as a pharmacist I'm a lousy supporter of measurements) and slept for 5 hours undisturbed. Took the dog to the vet for his canine influenza (what is going on with the animals?) and came back home and went to bed. Today I'm still feeling exhausted with minimum sinus symptoms and a sore throat. I'm heading to Maine this weekend to visit my mother, I'll get in some speedy walking but that's it. Next week I plan on getting back into the regimen because I don't want to slack off too long. As long as the cough stays mild and I continue the Mucinex I think I should be good. No races planned for January. First one I was looking at was March for the St. Patrick's 5K. But I'll look into February to see if anything is going on!

~ AZ Sunshine ~ - 2010-01-15 12:55 AM Hey gang!  Sorry I've been MIA.  I'm getting back into the swing of things.  I am going to run my Half Mary.  I haven't had a long run since my accident but I have run some 4 milers and felt good.  I don't think I am going to break any records but I'm excited to tackle the race.  Wish me luck!  71 days until my HIM!!

irondg - 2010-01-19 8:27 AM Hey All - As we are in the 2nd half of January how is everyone feeling?  How's your training?  Any concerns or issues that you might need help with?  Also, food logs - keeping them?  Are the helping?  Let's get some feedback going. 

Chezz - 2010-01-19 9:29 AM

Improving day by day.  The food journal is helping, I dropped 2 pounds in 1.5 weeks.
