<p>Seeing as all the east coasters are sleeping in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>18.76 mile bike plus some weights this morning. 4 mile run planned in the 67-70 degree no cloud in the sky afternoon sun after work</p>

<p>Nice ride Eric.  Speaking for myself I was not sleeping in but since it snowed about 1/2 inch everyone stopped driving so it was a commute from hell.  I ran in the snow this morning from the Y.  It was a different 5 mile loop and it was a good run.  Couple of sanders went by us and the drivers were nice guys as they stopped the spreaders as they drove by rather than snad blasting our ankles.  Roads were not too bad except for one about 1/2 mile from teh end which ran like a hockey rink with a thin layer of snow on the surface.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day</p>

<p>Full body weights FIB 2 hours and 20 minutes of commuting hell..................I am DONE with winter!  Too bad it's only Jan 25th and since I live in New England I have at least 2 more months of this $hit</p>

 

[KitKat]

<p>Easy 3 mi run this afternoon and some swim band stuff.  Officially following a schedule geared towards my spring marathon and it feels good to have a plan.</p>

Hahaha.  I don't care what the calendar says, April is still winter here so I figure we have three more months of crap.  At least Feb is a short month!<span>  <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

[SpartyGirl]

<p>DH and I booked a quick trip to MI in February just so we could HAVE winter! <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Fighting off a secondary sinus infection - the whole house is on antibiotics...I'll be walking for my workout tonight...</span></p>

 

[MBannon]

<p>Easy-ish 30 minute trainer session after work tonight, just to get the legs back.  Then probably a short-ish swim.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still a little sore from the half marathon, but not bad.  Will probably try an easy run tomorrow.</p>

 

[zojmn151]

<p>Ugh - right with you Julie!!  2 hour 45 min commute...it IS New England - hello!! LEARN HOW TO DRIVE!!  IT SNOWS HERE!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>yeesh, rant over...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure if I will get my weights in or not now...</p>

[rottensquirrel]

<p>11 min run yesterday. Probably the same today or a short bike because I don't think I can run the whole triathlon.</p>

 

[hobey]

<p>6 mile run with 2 X 1.5 miles at 15K pace. Hit both cruise intervals at 8:27 m/m. Cursed myself for having time goals as usual during any speed sessions. First coat of paint in the loft today!</p>

 

[Yo Sake]

<p>I am done with this winter s*Ht too. </p>
<p>Scott - sorry to hear about your knee.  Hope you can figure out what the culprit was.</p>
<p>Mike - read about your sucky long run.  Glad that you got that one out of your way.  Hope your recovery from bonking is going well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Whether I ran the Sunday long run too fast or this is just accmulated fatigue, boy was I tired.  I was like a zombie last night.  Skipped swimming.  Thanks to 8.5+hrs of sleeping, I felt better and tackeled the Tuesday cruise interval (3x2miles at HM pace, 7:40, w/2min rest).  After the first one at 7:43/7:43, I was about to quit.  But my stubborn nature wouldn't let that happen as usual.  Modified the workout to 4x1mile w/1min rest and got it done at 7:32/7:29/7:42/7:28.  I am taking the experts' advice that these two cruise intervals have very similar physiological effects.  So... 8miles done w/ a big <span><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span> on my log book and move on.  Will see how Thurs. MP run goes.</p>

 

[ksurp]

<p>I'm still ok with winter but I only have a 2 mile commute. We only had a low of -12 this morning so things are improving.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today was one of "those days": my hard drive crashed 1st thing this am, fortunately IT person quickly took care of it, DS came home crying b/c he felt so sick with chills & fever, other DS totally annoyed with mandatory indoor recess due to below zero temps after ranting about that he accidentally dropped his iPod in the toilet.  Enough venting...I really want to get a workout in later.</p>

 

[jenotter]

<p>I'm trying to wish away the warm, windy temps this week!! Can you east coasters send me some cold???? Although if it got below 60, the CA wussies would complain about that too. haha (I can say that cuz I'm a CA native).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anywho...30 minute tempo run on the hamster wheel this morning. I'm always slower on the treadmill...kinda weird.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[ericd256]

<p>Do not listen to Jen we do not need any cold weather. Cold weather wussy</p>

 

[donskiman]

<p>1h 27m 41s - 10.23 miles - 08m 34s/Mi<br><br>
2:00 PM <br><br><br>
Equipment: Nike Pegasus 01/11<br><br>
Cool/low 40s - partly sunny and light wind. Crawford/Puckett/Security/Widefield to trail to Southmoor/Carson to Fountain Creek trail to Nature Center loop, return around Willow Ponds to trail to Widefield/Fontaine/Grinnell/Crawford/Upton/home. Steady pace run. Stretching afterward.</p>

 

[niemsco]

<p>Yosh:  thanks.  Doctor says it was some overuse injury, he wrapped it up with kinesio tape and feels much better.  Said it should be ok soon, I just need to stretch!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>75 grueling minutes on the trainer group ride.  Hardest one to date, but my watts were up up.  10 warmup 5 x 30s big gear, :30s rest, :30fast spin, :30 rest).... MS: 15minutest 95 to 110FTP, easy 5 min, 10 minutes at around ftp, 3 minutes rest, 5 minutes at 280 watts to 300, 2 minutes rest, then 5 x 1minute at 330 to 350, 1 minute easy.  I started in the 250s on the 15 minutes but was eaily holding 270s at the end.  That 5 minutes near 300 killed me.  Its days like this I wonder if the CT is right or I'm getting stronger.  Only way is find out on the roads!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>45 minutes of swiss ball and cords.  I'm convinced these are the only two things you need to get super strong, especially sport specific.  I learned a lot of new moves in classes that work everything.  Don't think I'll touch weights again..</p>

 

[pcsronbo]

<p>Slept in a little.. to 5:30, but alarm got me up, so clearly I'm tired.  Screwed around too much working and messed up with workout window. I tried to get the cross bike on the computrainer but a huge FAIL due to wrong tires..  So I did 20min weights then worked on getting the new tire on before I had to drop kids @ school.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>so I got the kids to school then did a reboot on the workouts...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1hr trainer w/ 7x3min ME, and some cadence and 1 leg drills.</p>
<p>FIB 40min z2/z3 on the treadmill</p>
<p> </p>
<p>that went fine. Thankfully.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Heat wave in Chicago... was 30something and sunny. Snow's melting like crazy. Nice.</p>
