Where is everyone, I was going to start the thread, but wasnt sure....
Easy bike or swim today, hips feeling weird
-train hard

I went swimming last night, and had to baby my shoulder so much it was kind of ridiculous to even be there. On the other hand, it was nice to be in the water again.

Today's plan:
yoga -a new class
running -a short, half-hour thing
lower body weights -a full hour

ANdrea

11 miles this morning before work, decent pace, felt good

Chris

Short and awkward swim last night. (Had two of my kids with me, so I spent a lot of time keeping on eye on them)

Back to the pool tonight for 1500 yards of solid work

Bill

swim 900 yards this morning ... and have a 4 or 5 mile run scheduled this afternoon ... into my second full week of training for a OLY TRI .... keep me motivated guys ... thanks

I couldn't get to sleep last night to save my life and I know that training today would be asking for trouble.

Nice long run today. Shooting for 54 minutes. If I can't do that, I'll do the remainder tomorrow.

will try to swim today. after work. slept in, ugh. tennis after that.

Swim tonight. In-laws arrive this weekend......should be interesting.

25 minutes of drills at the pool, then 20 minutes on the bike/trainer. The weather is supposed to be cold and stormy this weekend for my firts tri. Might even have to wear long-sleeves! Finish. Finish. I'll keep telling myself. The nerves are really starting to kick in, I'm feeling it. 3 days until my first tri.

1000 yard swim. 8x100 intervals. felt link puking after 6.

in-laws...now there's a thread that would rival peanut butter and leg shaving!

Hang in there Katfan! My first is 59 days away and I get a little anxious when I think about it.

Katfan, YOU CAN DO IT! You're ready. Now go kick some butt! Woo Hoo. 1 mile run this morning at 5:30 a.m. it's a beeeeeatiful thing! Did it in 12:42! Woo Hoo. I'm movin' on up! Then 1hr spin class. Legs hurt like hell from master swim on Wednesday. Uggh. Then a short 500 m swim (I know, I know, I must be crazy spending all that time staring at the bottom of a pool). Back to the gym tonight for 1hr weightlifting and 1hr kickboxin'. No swim tonight I promise have master swim class tom. morning.Good training day all! Ovetta.

yesterday 5am did 500 meters in the pool, after work lifted weights then ran 5k, this morning I felt like eating a bottle of ibuprofin forget about training! ----but, got on the bike a did 16 mile in 40 mins not great but managed to hit 90rpm on a very hilly cse. -joe

Ran the 4 miles down to the club. Met my wife there and did a 45 minute workout on the bike and treadmill. Felt a lot better than I did yesterday, but I attribute that to getting 6-1/2 hrs sleep vs. 3-1/2 the night before.

Max

Ran about 4 miles this morning at 6:15. Lifting after work then right into the pool for an hour of Master's practice. Should end up doing about 3000 depending on what kind of mood my coach is in :-)

Got my new bike yesterday, can't wait to take it out for a long ride this weekend!!

Today was a 45 minutes spinning class and then a 20 min abs class (ugh!)

Lifted this morning, light run after work - race is Sunday!

AM:  1000 yd swim
PM:  3 mile run

Tomorrow:  REST DAY!!

1250 in the pool: tried to breathe more 'naturally'. It seemed to help, and if I didn't have recurring goggle-problems, I probably could've done more and better. Stopped only so I could have lunch, but I'm SO hungry today. This is my body's way of saying it needs a rest so tomorrow will be a rest day (and early to bed tonight!)

I have thought it was Friday all day and then couldn't figure out where today's thread was!! 20 mile bike ride into town and back. My heiny is feeling a lot better than the last time I did this ride. I started out crabby and resistant and then had a good ride. Moral: how you feel about working out before may have nothing to do with how you feel during it! Going to do my living room type strength training now. Anyone reading this feel free to check out my log and say something derogatory if you don't see some strength training!

tri in 3 days, not too motivated to work out, but finally got off my rear at noon and ran about 2.25 miles with a 5-year old on a bike who seemed to be on a mission to trip me up, and a 2-year old in an umbrella stroller. Interesting run, but I feel better now!

Ran intervals today. Completely enjoyed it. No, I am not losing it entirely... it was because IT WAS SO WARM OUT!!!! 23C and sunny. Windy as heck, but I basked in the warm breezes. I wore shorts, which I haven't done since I was in San Francisco in October!!
Ahhhhhhhh, Heavenly!! :-)
