On a plane this morning but plan to run for an hour or so on the National Mall this afternoon. And asking in advance for tips to stay on track while traveling for work( lots of meetings and dinners)1

6km walk / run. My running partner was having knee pain, so we ran / walked. Still felt great to get out in the fresh air after a day of sitting at a desk all day.1

That can be a challenge, but I would suggest prepackaged veggies to snack on between times and fruit. As much as possible I try to know where I'm going to eat and look up their munu. I pre-log those meals when I can to not draw attention to myself trying to figure it out.
Lots of water of course.
Happy travels!1 -
Hello yall. Been missing for a while due to the crud. Back at it now. Started running again yesterday...today is back to lifting. Lets do this.2

Snowing today, so had to do a track workout on the treadmill. 6 miles in total, with four miles done by alternating between 5k race pace and marathon race pace every quarter mile. Felt pretty good the entire run.
Will do an easy paced run and some swim drills tomorrow.2 -

You weren't running next to me at the Y, were you? (Only partially kidding.)

Not guilty! I run at the Big Sky gym on the Plainville/New Britain line. I do have a few friends who belong to the YMCA tri club in Plainville, though most of them are swimmers and cyclists. Do you run there?

I like the Plainville Y because the lap pool is almost always open (also: hot tub!) but I'm usually at Southington. I asked because there was a guy next to me doing intervals, and it seemed to match up with what you described. And the profile photos are so little that I can't really SEE you.

TRX and Lifting done. sdereski, love the photos..gmr3guy, high five to the muddy 10. Have a great day.2

Race pace, full distance row, as the middle of 3 intervals.
I didn't fuel properly and my brain mutinied with just 1:30 mins left. I just... stopped. But then the other part of my brain said, "WTF are you doing?!? GO!!!" I had to really push to catch up to where I should have been. But I did it. Gotta plan my pre-race food better than that.4 -
nice skipping, sdereski.
nice photos, eliza.
I did some cardio, today.
My total scale loss for January was three lbs. This is a real crawl....but, gives me hopemthat I can return to "maintenance" by summer.4 -

Totally can empathize with the fueling comment. Last year, I had my longest race to that point on my paddleboard (3.85 miles) and at about 2/3 of the way, I just hit a wall. I felt like I was paddling in mud and at least two girls passed me like I was standing still. I did catch up to one by the end of the race, but we tied coming in. I was so mad at myself for giving up so many spots. I learned my lesson about pre-race fueling.
At least for my next race of 4 miles, I apparently had done things right (it was nice because it was out of town and we had a free breakfast where I was able to eat plenty in addition to my usual protein drink). The lady I had been pacing with said in the last 1/4 of the race I took off like a shot and there was no way she was catching up to me no matter what she tried to do. Felt much stronger that race and I guess it showed in my performance. Had one of my fastest split times for that race also.2 -
Thanks Beeps. At least you are down, so that's a big win in my books!
Another 6km run in. Not walking as much, but boy, am I working at keeping running.3 -
banged out some cardio circuits at the gym!3
-
Lifted today! BOOM!5
-
"Rest" day. going to fail anyway, so I went to the gym and threw around the tire. didn't break my record, but honestly didn't count them. maybe between 40-50ish. flipped it yesterday too as part of the cardio circuit! i'll also be flipping desks, credenzas and file cabinets at work today.

Happy Friday kids, I overslept and missed TRX this morning. Honestly after the grueling beating I took yesterday, my body is thanking me today. Morning workouts are equivalent to morning coffee for me...A GREAT PICK ME UP. I will do something later today.
My first personal trainer Dave died from a massive heart attack on Tuesday at the age of 37. I am still absolutely speechless.
gam3rguy, I want to be like you when I grow up. So in essence no rest day for you...lol
Beeps, congrats on the loss. Keep up the good work
Those of you that run and love it, you have my utmost respect.
Have a great weekend kids.....5 -
37!!! So sad. RIP trainer Dave.

@caramelgyrlk - A heart attack at 37 is a tragedy. So sorry to hear that.
20 minute FTP test done at a local cycling studio last night. Nothing like a group setting with everyone's speed, cadence and power numbers shown on a big screen to keep the competitive juices flowing.
Step back in volume this weekend. Long run of ten miles today, then 6 tomorrow and a swim. Down to six more weeks until race day. That's good, because the novelty of winter running is starting to wear off.

@Djproulx - Yeah, all my winter running is treadmill based. I used to love to do it outside, but now I have rosacea and long periods of time spent outside are out. Very sad. My favorite is running in spring and summer rains, so at least I can still do that.
Last coaching session before race day. She's promised to make it a doozy!2
