    Got out to snowshoe again yesterday, and again I had to break trail. This is the trail I have been doing all winter. We have been getting so much snow, it seems I am always breaking trail!

    Sciatic nerve pain sucks. On the bright side, I don't appear to have arthritis. I just have to figure out what's making my sciatic flare up so I can walk normally again.

    Wow! I am going to bring my snowshoes tomorrow to Oak Ridges Trail, but it is supposed to be a "hike" (with icers on) and not a "snowshoe". It is 10km!!

    I just want to be more mobile on the weekends and not stuck at my desk like I am all the weekdays.

    Hopefully if I FEEL like getting out and about it ACTUALLY means spring is on the way! Wheeeeeeeeee!!!

    I am just over 40 at 41 and will be 42 this year. I am looking to get my sexy back and feel really good about myself. My starting weight is 225.2 today and I am looking to lose between 90 and 100 pounds.

    Good for you sister. Everyone of us started with an idea, and then a 1st day.

    I'm 50, and a pretty active person. I do cardio everyday, or at least some form of it, and lift 5 days a week. Currently i'm on a Upper / Lower Body Split. Upper, 3x a week, lower twice. Abs 2x a week.

    Today is leg day # 2 for me. Looks like this: Squats, Dead Lifts, Leg Press, Ham Curls, Hack Sqauts or Leg Extensions. + Abs. + 30 min Cardio. Sound like alot, but it's not too bad. I do a lift, ab movement, rest for 1 min, lift, abs, rest a minute. So the whole thing with Cardio only takes me about 1.5/hr or a little longer.

    Cheers everyone,

    Gonna be honest, wasn’t gonna do this today. Heavy @$$ day at work disassembling, moving, then reassembling conference room tables. Those ******* are MONSTERS! But “OCPD voice” wouldn’t stfu and leave me alone. Still did better than last round. Who’d have thought. 🤪👍

    I've finally accepted my MD's guidance that I need to take most of this season off from running and focus on addressing my chronic achilles tendinitis. That means I will do zero runing while undergoing several months of chiropractic work to release and retrain my lower back, glute and hip muscles as a way to relieve pressure on the achilles. Ugh.

    I haven't withdrawn from any races quite yet, but that's probably going to happen. I"m really bummed out about potentially missing IMMT in August.

    The only upside is that I can continue to swim and ride the bike, so I should be able to maintain some level of fitness. There is also a fairly comical element to my condition according to my wife - and that is watching me try to become a yogi. Apparently, my balance and flexibility are not quite awe inspiring at this point. :)

    First, taking off a single season is better than never being able to go back at all because a temporary injury becomes permanent.

    Second, yoga-type workouts are great for tri-athletes. Everything you do for training is in one direction. Moving your body in different directions will help prevent future injuries. Mentally, though, the downtime is killer. Lol!

    Still on track with P90X3 and running. I have a very large running goal towards the end of the year. Hopefully, I'll stay smart about my training and stay injury-free!

    Out with old and in with the new. Went to buy 40lb and 45lb but cost the same as getting the Bowflex. Also wanted a bench with incline and decline.
