Thanks Giving morning run. Cold and dreary. I stopped 1/2M from home and bought sodas for the wife and kids. Turns out when I got home my wife has already been hitting the mimosas. Oh well. Soda for me. (Followed by mimosas! I gotta catch up!)

So life very much got in the way and the workouts over the last two weeks have been at a bare minimum. But, not letting it hold me back, going to jump right back in and finish the end of November off in style - will have to try to get in some outdoor workouts as my in-laws are coming to stay a couple of days and my "gym" is in the spare room where they will be!! Oh well.... I may not hit my ironman goals but I know that each month that goes by, I will strive to be faster, stronger, and fitter. Thanks to everyone who keeps me motivated and gives so much of themselves to give support to everyone.

As of today, Nov 26, I am at:
Swim: 3.9km (out of 4km)
Bike: 49.5km (out of 180km)
Run/Walk: 17.1km (out of 42km)

Did you just start running? I have been running for a few years and had to start slowly, too. You can avoid shin splints by stretching after your run and by using the mid-foot strike. Don't run on the balls of your feet. I hope that helps, nice work this month!!

Thanks for the info. I started jogging as a means to increase my HR, as the walking was not elevating it as it once had. I had begun to read up on shin splints and I had never analyzed my run. I discovered indeed I was jogging on my toes. I felt as if I was lifting up my foot further, but struck it down towards the mid foot/heel and it felt as if I was rolling my foot forward. Stretching, ice and biofreeze afterwards, and I am happy to report only feeling a mild pull the next day. Nothing like before. I have worked myself up to jogging 1/3 (2 laps walking and one jogging) for 2 miles, and walking a 3rd mile. I am going to work on the track for awhile and move myself to outdoors once it gets a bit warmer.

Great job everyone!

This week to date I cycled another 16 miles and competed 7.25 miles--mostly walking...

updated totals
Swim 2.55 miles
cycle 192 miles (spinning indoors and outside)

I joined late, but I had been working on these totals independently. My goals were iron man goals and YAY! I made it.
I am traveling today, so it is going to be a rest day for my final day of November. I hope we keep this challenge up next month. It has been fun!
