    Had a great ride on the trainer this AM and then the weather was so nice, I went for a 2 hour hike along the bruce trail (my gps wouldn't kick in so I'm estimating the distance based on the markers on my map at about 6km - got home in time just to have it start sleeting/raining! Now to paint my dining room :)

    So far as of Jan 7th:
    Swim: 0km (of 4km)
    Bike: 26.90 km (of 180km)
    Run/Walk: 13.87km (of 42km)

    How's it going, pals?

    January goals:
    Swim 10 miles (Way less than January last year (30+) but I haven't swam in some months.)
    Bike more than 180 miles (30 more than December)
    Walk/Run at least 26.2 miles (about double December)

    So far (1/7)
    Swim - 1.31 miles
    Bike - 25.89 miles
    Walk/Run - 12.70

    Amazingly, I'm doing relatively better at walk/run than bike or swim. I'm worried about making the biking goal when it's going to be mostly trainer rides this month...

    Jan 2 -7, 2012

    Swim- 4700 Yards (2.67 Miles)
    Bike- 44.25 miles
    Run- 9.37

    I also had 8 miles on the elliptical this week and two sessions of strength training. As of right not I am only going to count actual Run miles and not my elliptical miles but we shall see as things go along.

    I am guessing next month I might need to change my swim goal. LOL

    Through 1/8

    Goals for January:
    Swim: 2.4 miles
    Bike: 56 miles (Half IM distance...I know the wind chill will keep me from getting out a lot)
    Run: 75 miles (81 miles on my training plan but realistically know I'll get sick and miss a run or two)

    Totals:
    Swim: 0 miles
    Bike: 22.5 miles
    Run: 25.7 miles

    Pool is still closed until the 18th or 19th hence the "0" in swimming.

    solid workouts...are you training for anything?

    Hi, I started incorporating a little bit of weight-training lately, a couple times a week. Primarily upper body work. I don't work my legs so much with weights since they are injury-prone and already ripped so much from doing intense interval training on the bike and running. I recently signed up for a half marathon in March. My marathon friend is starting to get me ready for that race. This will be my second organized race ever; ran my first 5k last May. Also, on September 8 & 9 of this year, I plan on biking 100 miles each day at the Missouri MS150 event. I'm sure I'll get talked into a few other events during the year (lol).

    Ran 15.25 / 26.2 miles
    Biked 18 / 112 miles
    Swam 1500 / 4224 yrds (converted for simplicity)

    Another dress rehersal for my indoor Tri on Sunday. Not sure if I got faster. I hit a button on my watch and wasn't sure how long the timer had stopped. Oooops. Once again I had to slow down to not run over NYRers. The actual event they'll be cleared out.

    Only the second day at the gym-- REALLY having trouble settling into a new routine this semester. Walked 1.25 miles; Erogonometer 2.5 miles. Got a lot of miles to make up before the end of the month, but I VOW to get to the pool at least once this week.


    Runing Totals:
    * Running/ Walking 7.75 miles
    * Biking 0
    * Swimming 0


    My January goals:
    * Running/ Walking 30 miles @ ~5 mph (+- 6 hours)
    * Biking 84 miles @ 14 mph (+- 6 hours)
    * Swimming 9 miles @ 1.5 mph (+- 4 hours)
