1/30 Got in a 3 mile walk/run today on the treadmill. Took it easy and slow... it did take me 40 minutes to get it done but it is done.

With a 30 minute trainer ride this morning, I made it to 1/31 for January! Should have done a swim today, but the university where I swim is closed due to cold and poor road conditions, so I biked instead. Biking is my least favorite discipline, and since I set up my Garmin wrong (tire size imputed at 700mm when it should have been 2105), it only registered 2.01mi for the effort--disheartening (and also hilarious). I also got in Week 1, Day 1 of the pushup challenge and some core work.

What is everyone else up to on this Monday?

Hi -this sure seems like my kind of group!
Name: Melanie
Story: I did my first tri to get active after having my last son in 2007. I had not been active for many uears and I loved the sport and met some fantastic people! I have done sprints in the past but I really want to bump up to olympic. For the past year I have been focussing on strength training looking to compete in figure class bodybuilding but the diet aspect of competing was killing me. I love to cook and I love enjoying a beer around the bonfire with friends, that can't really be part of your lifestyle with bodybuilding so I am back to triathlons! I was also kicked off the bike by my trainer becasue she felt it bulked up my quads the wrong way

Originally posted by kascha Okay so a girly thing, I do Zumba so tonight I was able to do Zumba for 45 minutes and then rode a spin bike for 35 minutes. It's really cold here too, so the gym is empty...which is kind of nice!

Originally posted by ervaller I had a great ride on the trainer last night. I ended up riding the entire first half of the BCS championship game. 30 miles at a pretty good pace. It really helps when you have distractions Still Freezing this morning but the YMCA is open. I've got a little bit of work to do at home then it looks like an easy swim today. I'm going to give the 100 push ups a try also

Originally posted by Bradleykd I entered my goals! The main one is that I need to quit dipping this year so I'm starting now. This will be a hard one but it needs to be done. Also starting the 100 push-up challenge Thor posted on page one. Not a lot of people jumped on this one but I'd love to get rid of my man boobs and this should be a good start!

Nice one. Solid day. This group is rocking it with the workouts. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's 3 workouts today alone not counting if you get a run in. Trying to catch Thor huh? Well 2.75 because they are only giving .75 credit for the PT, lol.

Loved the Cleveland Venue. It was interesting My wife's friend was signed up to run with her but dropped out the week before so I was just going to spectate and ended up running the race.

Great Lakes Brewery Christmas Ale or as its affectionately referred to around your area Christmas Crack is one of my top 5 favorites.

I am more a wine lover than a beer drinker, as I come from Spain, but enjoy both!! So I would love to be join this group, if still possible.

NAME: Juan

STORY: Have doing sports since I remember, from basketball to cycling and last few years running for fun (10k's, some half marathon, just 1 marathon). Last year, at 46, decided to add to my running some biking and swimming to reduce the risk of injuring my knees, and finished my first Sprint triathlon, raising money for Make-a-Wish. Had so much fun that now I am hooked, watching videos almost daily in Youtube about races all over the world, and now planning the 2014 season.

FAMILY STATUS: Married for 16 years, with one son 14 y.o and one daughter 12, both enjoying running already and all the funny gadgets around triathlon.

CURRENT TRAINING: one hour sesion daily, or at least 5 days per week, with 2 swims, 2 runs and 1/2 bike sessions..

2014 RACES: Planning 2-3 Olys in May, June and July, and if not suffering too much, may be a Half on September.

BEER PREFERENCE: Living in a wine producing country, where beer is just to calm thirsty drinkers that avoid water, I am here to learn. Most beer I drink is classical, pilsner style, but after reading these pages in the last few days I know I will get HUGE motivation for training and beer drinking.

WEIGHT LOSS: Not too worried, just keep my size

GOALS 2014:
(1) Enjoy Oly distance to stop dreaming about HM in the future
(2) Improve brick trainings
(3) Get faster at running.

OMG the body building lifestyle is tough. Years...and by years I mean a quater century ago, my husband was a bb. He was actually Mr. San Diegothank goodness he did not make us call him that! Anyway at 270 lbs and 4% body fat at competition time his diet had to be all consuming. Not one beer did he drink during those years. Oh that that has changed and he now savors a good beer.

Got in 4/31. Another 30 minute trainer ride. I pushed it pretty hard though. I had planned for an hour but my usual 10 minute commute took 1.5 hours because of a bad wreck and locked up traffic so I had to cut it short. I'll get my goals posted tonight while I'm at work, hopefully... I know most of are feeling the cold and weather, but I can't help to mention how bad it sucks. Lol. It was -10 and I saw somebody running outside.. They actually may have been on to something though because he passed me while I was stuck in traffic...
