On this day in 1973 Bruce Springsteen's debut album, "Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.," was released.<br><br>
Out at 7 as Iron Boy came down the road. We picked up The Diesel and The Andyman shortly thereafter for a cool 10.2 mile cruise. Today's low 20's seemed balmy. I had strong legs but low energy today - the company helped to chug through.<br><br><i>Princess cards she sends me with her regards<br>
barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard<br>
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted<br>
To her Cheshire smile. I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted.<br>
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts<br>
honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back<br>
you wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks.<br>
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks".<br>
But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too<br>
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency<br>
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency<br>
and your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free</i><br><br>
When they say "sit down", stand up tri-peeps!

Busy day for me so short on the shout-outs...<br><br>
LRR: Nice run this morning.<br><br>
Me...<br><br>
14 mile run early this morning. Was a bit colder than expected, me a bit more tired than normal, but good company made this run fly by.<br><br>
Stand up and OUT, Tri-peeps!

1:30 easy on the elliptical this morning. Boring, but not as bad as the trainer. Calves are feeling better, so I'll likely take an easy run or 2 next week.

I did my first 225 yard swim today!!!<br>
I got in the pool and it was chilly so i just dove in and pushed off and<br>
tried to kick for 25 yards. Decided that wasn't warming me up fast enough,so i starting swimming remembering that sheldon said start with your longest you can do first. Well i got to 100 and said i think i can go farther and kept going.I felt my form break between 200-225 so i decided i should stop and catch my breath. rested 45 secs and started out again to see how long it takes me to a do a 200. Well thats turns out to be 4.15. I ended up doing 2 more sets of 200. Then some 100's 75' and 50's. Total yardage was 1200.Then it was off to the hot tub to warm up.<br><br>
I learned that my flip turns are more somersaults than flip.

First brick of the season for me. 1.5 hours on the trainer followed by a 3.5 mile run.

I went for my first workout in a while, and my very first run ever in Munich. I just got here last night. 11km through the Olympic Park, mostly running different loops and trying to get lost and then find my way again. I did 30mins of Yoga when I got home. The Flexible Warrior DVD from Spinervals - it was pretty good, I was impressed and felt really good.<br><br>

Great job on the swim Eric! It won't be long now and you'll be swimming sets of 500+.<br><br>
Looking like it's probably a rest day for me. I want to ride. I want to run.

Saturday club workout - about 3000yd swim plus some block-start practices (our club-sponsored meets in 5 weeks). It was at a local H.S. instead of the community college we usually swim at. A nice pool with 8 lanes. 45+ showed up. A nice breakfast afterwards as usual. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
DH and I usually go to a yoga class on Sat. but I decided to skip it I feel less energy and this yoga class has stepped up a notch with more continuous flows. Better save some energy for the tomorrow's MP run. Will do some easy yoga DVD with the kids.<br><br>
Enjoy your weekend!<br><br>

Did my 8.2 mile run. Negative split by like a minute on the 2nd half.<br><br>
Felt good.

Quick post... Started the morning with 30mins sitting on the bike going nowhere. Man I hate the trainer!!! And it's only January...<br><br>
Wardrobe asjustment, and out for a run. Did my usual long run route. Pretty cool because there's a bridge that goes over the bike path. I went over it as my running group was going under. Neat to see them from another perspective! They start too late for me to run with them when I have to work. 8.57m, 1:15, 8:48pace.<br><br>
Got home at 9:15. Had to leave for work at 9:30. I love my job. I just hate when it gets in the way of my running!

 

[Tithers]

I can't do weekend trainer rides...nothing good to watch.<br><br>
Lucky for me Hell Tuesday is on Biggest Loser night. If that won't keep me honest in HR 4 then nothing will!

 

[Stitcher]

Forced rest day for me....<br>
ear infection....fever this morning.<br><br>
Sooo......<br>
I might go and do some walking on the treadmill just to keep moving.<br>
I am starting to get a bit concerned that my half in 2 weeks will be impacted by this....but....well....what can you do?<br><br>
I figure that if I can get up tomorrow and feel better, no fever, etc...I can still get some long run miles in. Right? Sheesh.<br><br>
One of the possible side effects of the decongestant that the urgent care doc gave me was: "may cause dizziness." Good grief! I DON"T need THAT. lol

 

[Tithers]

Stitch....if you put the training in you'll be fine. Just think of being well-rested. Better than pushing now and remaining sick on race day!

 

[Stitcher]

That's what I am trying to remind myself.<br><br>
grrrrr

 

[bikergirl]

20 mile bike ride~tomorrow is a rest day!

 

[runninirish]
