    @tojo_73 - nice picture! Where were you skiing? I miss visiting the cold once a year to get a ski trip in.

    @TmacMMM - Happy Birthday! Welcome to the cool kids! BTW, I'm not really cool enough to be here, but don't tell anyone...they let me keep posting anyway ;)

    @TmacMMM Welcome and Happy Birthday. I think indoor rowing qualifies for Cool Kid status. Good to have another endurance athlete in the group!

    Excellent! Maybe some of the coolness will rub off on us. I can hope, anyway. :)

    Not sure if I'm cool enough for this crowd, but I'm gonna risk it because today is my 46th birthday, and if you can't take a risk on your birthday... :)

    I'm focusing on performance, and trusting that the weight loss will come. I'm 30 lbs down, 50 to go. In past years, I've done road races, tris, and open-water swimming. Now I'm training for an indoor rowing race. It's a new sport for me and I have a coach to help me with form and to write a good training plan. The idea is to transition to actual on-the-water masters rowing this summer.

    Yesterday was a successful almost-race-pace 2k test, so today was a light day: a short run, followed by 3k steady-state rowing meters, and then a little haphazard lifting to kill time before I had to leave.

    Hey kids, I survived my first powerlifting class. My body is awake for sure now. I did not feel it until a few hours later. I have a goal to wear shorts this summer. I have cut the barre and ballet classes and replaced them with weights/HIIT circuits. This is my new schedule.

    Sunday - Hot Yoga
    Monday - TRX
    Tuesday - Meltdown (crossfit style class)
    Wednesday - BootCamp
    Thursday- Powerlifting
    Friday - Strength Training
    Saturday- Free for all

    As Beeps so eloquently says, "BOOM".

    Have a great day everyone.

    @TmacMMM Happy Birthday
    @b3achy That day we were at Grouse Mountain which is one of the local mountains in North Vancouver. Not particularly large but 15minutes door to door from my house (if you look really hard you could see our house in the photo :) )
    @gam3rguy that's alot of tire flips!

    @elizabeppes - PM sent...
    @gam3rguy - 59 tire flips is impressive! (but hasn't anyone told you they move easier if you roll them?)

    Struggled through an early morning strength session with my trainer today, since I did not recover well from last night's run/swim session. Tonight's easy treadmill run will be better. :wink:

    Rowing: 2x20:00/5:00r. Stroke rating pyramids.
    Treadmill: 30 min @ 10% incline & 3.5 mph.

    My back is ouchy so I'll also do some yoga and foam rolling before bed tonight.

    Happy Friday kids, strength training done. Hope all of you have a great weekend.
    gam3rguy, you are strong enough to flip desks and credenzas. Post a pic afterwards (lol)

    Hi all,

    Frigid cold here this past week. Ran Tuesday, walked Wed & Thursday. Still getting it done outside, so that's cool. No pun intended.
    Snowshoe hike on tap for tomorrow.

    Hope to get back to P90X this weekend as well. I love the workouts, Tony, not so much. ;)

    Happy Friday, cool ones.....

    60 minutes on the bike trainer on tap for today.

    Training will get more interesting this weekend, since we'll start to move our race pace work into the long runs. Seventeen miler will start out as 3 miles easy, then 4@ race pace, 3 easy, 4 Race pace, then finish with 3 easy. Temps will be around 20 degrees, so keeping water bottles unfrozen will be a chore.

    Shorter, easy paced run is planned for Sunday, followed by our first 90 minute swim clinic session. Then its nap time.
