I'm a tri geek!!

I admit to training on xmas morning. 75 minute run and maybe a little bike in the afternoon.

Anyone else a geek like me?

I'll probably squeeze in a quick trainer ride in between assembling the kids' toys (and mine - new drum kit ), cooking a turkey dinner, and eating like a hog.

Merry Christmas all!

I'll likely do a trainer ride and abs.  I will keep it minimal since my wife kindly asked that I not do too much on Christmas.  Since she got me a kayak for Christmas I will show her love.

Well, I would like to get a run in outside after the present opening frenzy and before I start dishing out the feast. Mother in Law is coming over so not sure how much time I'll have... I've become such a training junkie that I contemplate training on Christmas HA! Was a time when I'd be too busy eating, sleeping, drinking, eating, eating etc...

The Y's closed on Christmas Day, but I did manage to squeeze in a swimmy-swim today, Christmas Eve.

We've had a heat-wave here in Ohio.  It's currently 50 and will be 60 by Saturday.  It was 1 earlier this week.

Though the warm weather is accompanied by rain, I'll be on the lookout before or after the Christmas lunch for a dry spell to run outside.

Christmas eve is actually a busier day for us.  I did get in a 45 minute trainer ride today, then it's off to my son's house for an evening of celebration.  Tomorrow is pretty much a non-event, I'll be able to get in a good solid trainer ride, maybe two.

Me...probably a run (rescheduled so I could get my swim in today) and a bike cause Max is running the challenge hard and I'll lose my bonus points if I don't get my azz on the trainer

Depends a bit on the weather...we're traveling (bright and early)...will be 4-5 hour drive. If it isn't pouring rain (or snowing) in the hills where we're going, I might sneak in a run before family dinner.

If I had not gotten sick today, I would definitely be going for a run tomorrow.  I make a habit to stick to my training schedule regardless of my own schedule.

 The only thing that stops me is sick... which I am.   I don't like training when I am sick because I never have a good workout, and I think that time is better spent trying to feel better.

You are tougher than me!  I got about halfway down my street today and bagged it.  Besides the slush, ice, and channels of water, I decided I had a better than average chance of being tagged by a car in the conditions.  I'll run tomorrow in sun and 80 degree temps.    I hope you feel better soon!

Probably a 90 minute trainer ride again tomorrow.  Maybe a run if my son's are up to the activity.

I started my 18 Week training plan for Boston and will most definitely be training through the holidays.

I have workouts scheduled for Christmas Day and New Years Day.

If it's nice out, I will be out cross country skiing - not official triathlon training, but it'll be fun. I'm going to go to a new locale tomorrow to check it out.

I'll probably have to get on the trainer also and play around with my new present - a new Power Tap. It just arrived today and I was surprised to have it show up at the LBS today - I wasn't expecting it yet - Merry Christmas to me.....
