last week's goal:
3 swims (met)
1 bike w/ strengthening sessions (did not do the bike, but did the strengthening, I did one pull-up! That has been my goal for the past 10 years! to at least just do one!)
3 mile run (did two sessions of them, finally!)

this week's goal:
4 swims (did one yesterday, 3 to go)
a 3 mile run (will do tomorrow morning)
may do a lesiure bike ride on sat. (not really a work out, it's getting cold and my bike seat appears to be a torture device)

One pull-up is one more than I can do right now, so congratulations! :)


Goals last week were:
Cycle commute more often than not + 1 Mtn bike ride - 6x commute, No mtn bike ride :( Spent the time watching Kona instead!!
Run x 4, but just itty bitty ones (like 1-3 miles) - 3, if you count racing friends through a corn maze in the dark. :)
Core x 4 - 3
Yoga x 1 - Yes

I'm finally feeling better running (woo-hoo, about time!).

Goals for this week:
Cycle commute more often than not + 1 Mtn bike ride
Run x5
Core x3
Yoga/Stretch x1

"Alice laughed. `There's no use trying,' she said 'one can't believe impossible things.' `I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. `When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!'"

Gobble gobble.

last week's goals:

- 1 swim before tattoo: DONE at my just re-opened, newly renovated, bright and beautiful favourite pool!
- 3 runs: DONE, including breaking in my new trail shoes!
- 2 rides (1 tri bike, 1 CX bike): mostly win. i did ride twice, but both were on my CX bike, and i probably shouldn't have done 2+ hours on saturday. was fun and kept it easy, though!
- 2 core workouts: mostly fail. i did one, but the second "workout" was just me doing a few exercises while standing at the kitchen counter chopping veggies for dinner!

this week's goals:

- do everything possible to stop the cold i have coming on in its tracks
- 2 short runs before the race on saturday (one done, need to do one more with some strides)
- 2 core workouts
- foam roll legs completely
- do not get hurt at 25k trail race on saturday!

cheers!

wow the 25k trail race seems like a lot of fun. not only running but have to run the trail too!

not just fun, it should be amazingly beautiful, too! especially with our fall colours just peaking right now..

i try to run on trail at least once a week anyway, and have been doing most of my long runs on trails for the last month and a half when i can. easier on your joints and better for your soul!

cheers!

My treadmill is so drab :-(

i think i'd probably quit running if i had to do it on a treadmill...they don't have an outdoors where you live?

cheers!

 Concrete jungle or drive 30 minutes away.

concrete jungles typically have sidewalks. the 80-90% of my running that isn't on trails is done through town, either on the sidewalk or the road (where there is no sidewalk). even in snow, rain, -30c, you couldn't pay me enough to run on a dreadmill! i did it once (due to an ice storm), for a total of 5k, and wanted to slit my wrists after the first 3 minutes..

cheers!

Running on treadmill helps build my character.

LOL, I (once) had to do a 2hr treadmill run. Wow that sucked ass.

Treadmill love here. Don't mind outside but I will very happily, very willingly run forever on the treadmill.

If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.
disclaimer: PhD not MD

it might be different if the treadmill was at home rather than the rec centre, but i still think i'd go nuts trying to do 2hrs! i just can't lose myself on a 'mill like i can on the road or trail.

i think most people would agree that i'm enough of a character already ;)

cheers!
