    Quick checkin. Did 45min of p90x arms and shoulders this morn (mentally couldnt sych myself up for kettlebells so thought I would switch it up). Back to feeling tired all the time these days and noy exactly sure how to snap out of it. All in all things are good down about half of what I added during the last few months of travel and super happy its Friday today.

    Looking forward to watching both Australian Open finals this weekend.

    Warmed up on an inclined treadmill, then rowed intervals (5x5:00/5:00r).

    Good morning, cool ones....

    Another weekend of run work ahead. Group run today for 18 with 12 done at marathon pace. Recovery paced 8 miler tomorrow, then a swim clinic.

    Its cooling down to more typical winter temps, but the roads are clear, so life is good :)

    Stepping out to hopefully complete an 8 mile run in a few minutes. Very nervous as this is longest distance I've run in almost a year.

    Good luck, cool posting a few minutes before event. Going after a 400 lb. bench in about an hour myself. Lil bit nervous, which is good.

    @elizabeppes - Nice job on your run! Congrats.

    @Z_I_L_L_A - I can't even imagine a 400lb bench...just wow!!

    @sdereski Beautiful pictures as always. What a spectacular setting. Wish we had a bit more snow cover here. My wife and I have been hoping to do some snoeshoeing this winter.

    Started with an 8 mile recovery paced run before heading over to the Sunday morning swim clinic. Got some good tips from the swim coaches and managed to get in 1700 yds at the pool. Now I'm feeling lazy. Food and couch time!

    Spent most of my weekend in Kitchen Cabinet Clean-out mode - The official total is 5 hours of cleaning cabinets. 8 cabinets and 2 drawers sorted, reorganized, purged and wiped down/cleaned. 3 trash bags (~30-40 gallons) full of expired, old, broken items pitched. Number of steps up/down on the step ladder: no idea, but feels like a lot. I'm sore. I'm tired. I'm spent.

    Yesterday I started C25K. While I walk a lot, I've not really run much in 25+ years due to bad knees. Hoping that if I take it slowly using the program, I can get back to running again.

    And my usual it's too cold/dreary to go paddling miles done on my glider at home. Now to get caught up on some planks.

    Back from a week of being ill. Missed so much on here! Well done everyone. Taking it slow today and not doing kettlebells. Walking to work will probably cause enough coughing and spluttering to feel like a proper workout...

    In an effort to combat my recent "half-assededness" in working out I have gone back to BCAA supplements. I hoping that even if just mental it will get me back in the groove. I have been sliding in the wrong direction recently. Still working out 3 times a week (mostly) but at a lower intensity and eating poorly. The scale is creeping back up and this is not.....good. So its back to logging every day and trying to kick the apathy.

    Smart to take it slow and ease back into workout out after being sick. Hope you feel better soon. Mine seems want to linger, but I finally am working out despite still sniffling a bit.

    @b3achy - It is awesome that you have taken up running! Strength work for the upper legs ought to minimize chances of knee injury. Looking forward to your first combination paddleboard/run report. :)
