[Thor]

<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cold again here in the Northeast. 12F for my run this morning. Very little wind, though, so not bad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TASM: Great job on your consistency. You may not be running the way you want, but the rowing and, in general, doing something is... something! Something good. Keep up the good work and the rest will fall into line as you get fitter and fitter. I'm noticing!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dawg (aka LRR): All good, man. You've been kicking ass too. Personal greatness, or whatever you want to call it, needs a day off once in a while, and your day off wasn't exactly a day off... you were pretty active all day long, and I'm guessing that meets the end goal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yoshi: Not sure what you mean by TM "moving around." If what you mean is the the TM moves around the faster you go, yeah, it does, but the TM's I'm on are pretty secure, so you get a lot of vibration and racket (noise) but otherwise it's nothing to worry about. What I do need to worry about -- or, really, what I do worry about -- is that when I do more hardcore intervals, such as those Top-End Speed ones, the belt is moving so fast that, with each foot placement, you can feel the belt "buckle" for that instance of a second. And that can't be good. I imagine that over time, say if the TM was never tended to, that buckling will eventually snap or at least rip the belt. I can feel it, though, and it even can trip me up -- or so it feels; but in reality, probably not since I haven't heard anyone else talk about that. But this is only on those fast intervals. It could happen to you if you're a heavy foot striker too, because then your foot is on the belt longer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4 mile easy run early this very cold morning. Legs feeling a bit blah. Hoping tomorrow brings some spunk back in. Got two more days of easy and short.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great day, friends!</p>

 

[donskiman]

<p>Daily run. Short and easy, then off to work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>----------------------------------------------</p>
<p>22m 59s - 2.55 miles - 09m 01s/Mi<br><br>
7:15 AM<br><br><br>
Equipment:Brooks Defyance 3<br><br>
Cool/mid 30s - Sunny and light wind. Crawford/Grinnell to Wageman turnaround and return in reverse order. Slow easy effort. Stretching afterward.</p>

<p>DOR.  Nada.  Zip.  Nothing.  Heading home today, damn it makes me happy to type that.</p>

[jenotter]

<p>12F??? Oh my....</p>
<p>Cak - thanks for the info on the hand drills!!</p>
<p>Mike - glad you're headed home!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got the little dropped off at school early enough to get to the pool for a morning swim. Nothing fancy...just wanted to gauge where I am right now gearing up for a March Oly, so did 1600 straight (admittedly I lost count at one point so just backed up - may have been 1700, but whatever). Felt pretty good - tired by the end, but knowing I can cover the distance is a good boost.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[zojmn151]

<p>Thor - Brrr - 12F...it warmed up to a balmy 28 by the time I got out at lunch just now...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>~4 for me...couldn't really tell what the heck my legs were doing towards the end...</p>

 

[MBannon]

<p>Got to squeeze a 2-mile run and a trainer workout in somewhere today.  We are currently experiencing a monsoon here in the northwest.</p>

 

[Muffin Queen]

<p>60 minutes on the elliptical and 1 mile on the TM walking uphill.  A few squats and some stretching afterward.  Now time to read SEC digest.  Oh the good times.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day all. </p>

 

[ksurp]

<p>1.25 mile run on the tm before it shut itself off. The new one can't get here soon enough. Followed up with some strength and core work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[Yo Sake]

<p>Thor - I guess what I wanted to say was more vibration and lauder noises.  Honestly I don't know how fast the TM I usually would go up to, but at 10, 11, 12mph (5min/mi) or whatever, you have to be very much in sync with the way you land on the TM and push off from it (hard to describe...).  At that kind of speed, I bet the belt eventually gets so hot and ....bam, gets destroyed if goes long enough.  I think there are reasons why you don't hear much about the elites run on TM for a long time. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ran 7 miles on fresh snow.  Jeebus, it just took so much out of me.... 19F with 35mph gusting wind wasn't helping either.  I was going to head for a swim but I am dead tired....</p>
<p> </p>

 

[cak73]

<p>DOR for me.</p>
<p>Walked the dogs this morning.</p>

 

[master_of_none]

<p>a chilly 4+ social run followed by TRX class this morning.  Been doing job hunting stuff and then worked at the Y this evening whioch gave me my lift workout as people don't know how to put away their weights.</p>

<p>Back on the wagon... 30 minutes on the eliptosnooker watching the Bruins' comeback win. (18/19)</p>

 

[pcsronbo]

<p>I took a nap</p>
<p>and PT</p>
<p>soup!</p>

 

[regiolanthe]

<p>Not much exercise this week ... went out today for lunch 5.7 miler ... Had to pull on hat/gloves today like the other Yankees. Definitely felt like a sluggish winter run though (8:50s) ... Have yet to put on a second layer though .... keeping the sweat down for office respectability </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Going to try getting up to exercise next week. This 1, 2, or 3 times a week running thing is just not cutting it.</p>

<br><br><p>Fresh snow is exhausting to move through, whether running, walking, or snowshoeing.  Throw in cold temps and tough wind and you really should give yourself a break and pat yourself on the back.  I would bet that 7 miles is roughly equivalent to nearly double that in better conditions.</p>

<p>5.5K on the rower. With three short stops (at 2000, 3000, 4000) for back cracking and stretching, that meant I basically made it through an entire episode (on DVD) of Dead Like Me. Such a great show. It should have lasted longer. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Knee continues to improve. I suspect some natural anti-inflammatories I've started taking have helped it along. I'm looking forward to getting more DT on the surrounding tissue once the snow goes away. (Seattle is basically snowbound.)</p>
