What was your first workout of the new year? (Page 5)

Ran about 6.5 miles outside today - here is the entry from my log:

Outside running. Temperature was ZERO degrees F when I started, now it is 3 degrees. Current wind chill is -7.

This was my coldest run ever. I got really sweaty. My eyelashes were freezing together, because of the moisture from my breath into my face mask. I learned that my sweat-wicking gloves actually do wick sweat - little sweat ice crystals were appearing on the outside of my gloves.

This run was miserable. Was supposed to go longer, but I just couldn't. Too, too cold. I will run again tomorrow. High tomorrow is 14, maybe that won't be so bad!!!!!

I was whacked after 2 hard workouts the 2 days before, so it was a 40min recovery run for me...and weights today for a 2nd workout of the year.

Cycle 48 min

We are getting pounded with snow, so my first workout was XC skiing

Indoor swim, it was boring!!followed it up with a spinning class and a treadmill run. Im not a fan of winter.

Went for a 19 mile ride, it was about about 60 degrees.

Started out to be a 8 mile trail run but turned into 12 when I missed my cut off.

An easy 4.5mi run; only moderately hungover.

5 miles in the sunny windy cold of tropical WI. First run of the winter. First run in my spiff new Brooks Adrenaline shoes. Felt good.

95 miles on my trainer.  Yeap.  I'm still looking for my sanity.

18 Mile long run, 10:20 pace.  Training for my first mary in late Feb.  This is the longest I've ever run!!  Pretty sore tonight but very satisfied!!!

35 at start of run and 50 at the end...sunny and slightly breezy throughout.  Perfect North Texas day!

13.1 mile tempo run for upcoming 1/2 mary in Miami.

6 mile run on the treadie.  It was -1 yesterday morning (-11 windshield) plus too much ice/snow on the road.  Don't like running in that cold of weather and will not risk injury.

Set treadie at 1% incline, started playlist, started at 8 min/mile increased speed each mile, finished in 43 minutes.  Respectable start for 2010.

A computrainer class yesterday that rocked me hard. I'm supposed to go run 4 miles here in a few...but it's so cold, and frankly I'm enjoying the comfort of my snuggie right now.

12k run in the north yorkshire snow...gorgeous!

I did a couple of hours of skiing the steeps at Beaver Creek.   I'd planned a run today but my body is feeling torn up from coaching all day in the powder yesterday then getting into my car and being stuck in traffic coming down the mountain for 5.5 hours.  This drive normally takes me 1 hour 45 minutes.  We'll see how I feel in a few hours then decide.  I hate taking a rest day on a Sunday but sometimes my body just begs for it. 

Met up with several other local triathlete friends for a dip in our favorite lake.  Our first annual New Years Eve polar bear swim.  We had a great time!

One mile warm up and a 7 mile run at a 7:29 pace.

40min run with 19deg temp outside, followed by 45min swim

I ran 13.04 miles of forest trail in the wind and snow.  It was my longest run yet.  I loved it out there in the quiet snowy forest.

About 3 hours of surfing.

I did a hard 6 miles New Yrs Eve. Weather was sloppy, cold freezing rain mixed with snow. I was going to do the bike trainer on the 1st, but saw the wind had shifted...logged onto the surf cam and that was it. I put on my wetsuit and drove to the beach. Clean waist to head high+.

It still beats a swim workout, I tend to paddle harder and push myself to get beyond the break. I swam yesterday and my arms were still sore.

I swam for about 45 min. It was great.  I couldn't remember my drills though so I did a lot of pulling and legs only.
