Looking for a Few Virtual Training Partners v2.0 (Page 9)

Tonight was long swim night at "swim team". I thought I had this handled since I made it through speed night, no problem. Nope. I have asthma. It rarely shows itself, but it did tonight. I thought I was just winded, but when I was doing backstrokes and still ended up struggling for breath after each 25, I knew I was in trouble.

My husband comes to all my swim stuff. He says he's nervous about me in water. Tonight I was grateful for his lack of confidence, lol!

Note to self: Bring albuterol pump EVERYWHERE.

Nice job becoming a runner!

Nice job! Looks like great weather.

That's a new one... pretty funny stuff.

Yesterday I did a 13+ mile run and felt awesome.  Got a Garmin 405 for X-mas from my mom (who instated that I open early so I can get used to using it) and really enjoyed running with it.  Only four weeks until my marathon!

Great job everyone getting out there and getting some workouts in... despite the weather, sick kids, and life in general!

wow ~ would love to see your course you raced!? so how did you do in your class?

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

thats insane! I cant even imagine! I will no longer WHINE when it is in the 40's for my runs/bike rides!

Another solid day, 50 minutes on the spinner.  This is getting old and would much rather be riding outside, but at 6pm its completely dark and not worth the risk!  Easy 2 mile run afterwards to keep the run up!  Need to keep the miles up, I have just made the commitment to several early season races.  Dirt Dawg 8 miler in January, Glass city HM in Late April and being pushed to run the Athens HM in early April!  May use the first HM as a training run and not push the pace!  The glass City will have several friends in it so the competition will be strong. 

I am ready for some races, I tend to stay more focused when I know there is a race coming up!

Hope everyone has a good Wednesday

My husband has demanded I do not go into the pool until I get a new albuterol prescription. The one I have expired. OI.

So, no swim team for me tonight. I'll do the spin class and run on the T-Mill.

GREAT JOB, GUYS!

Got a 4 mile run in yesterday morning and an hour p90x2 last night.  I was supposed to swim this morning at 6a, but i didn't get much sleep last night, so I blew it off.  Now I'm feeling guilty and fat :0

Had a really good swim with a guy that's usually finishing his set when I am showing up.  I hopped in and he asked what the workout was for today.  I said "speed work and IM's... you in?"  He shrugged and agreed (he had already knocked out a few thousand yards)  500 of drills and easy swimming to warm up, then 10x50 on :50, 5x100 on 1:40, and 2x100IM on 2:00... 30 second rest between sets.. man did it hurt!  Its really nice to have someone pushing you! Jumped on the treadmill after a quick shower for a very light 2.1 miles... Happy Wed!  I need a nap!

Dont kick yourself too bad for ditching your swim, just work extra hard on the next one!

Nice job in the pool and bonus run!

Went out for an easy run with the dog this morning. Stopped to let him check out the ice, he likes to walk in the water so I think he was confused to find it solid.
