On Feb. 3, 1917, the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany, which had announced a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare.<br><br>
So far I've made coffee. And I've been trading email with an English-speaking cousin in Australia gathering contact info for cousins in Italy. I think we've got dinner with family in both Rome and Benevento set up now - but none of them speak English. Since the extent of my Italian is something like "Pasta Fazoule" - it's gonna be a challenge.<br><br>
I actually got a lot of "chores" done yesterday so I'm feeling a bit less stressed today. Slept a little better last night - still have issues finding a comfortable knee position. Maybe some spin later... Maybe not.<br><br>
Keep it above water tri-peeps!

60 minutes on the trainer and then some strength work after 2 days of rest.<br>
Now I need to find things to keep myself busy until the Superbowl kickoff.<br>
Go Pats!

2750 meters in the pool with the tri club. Feels good to be done with it nice and early. Now onto the grocery store.

I got out onto the roads with my bike again. It was just around freezing when I left the house, and probably warmed up a couple of degrees over the course of the ride. I covered 55.5 kms, in 2:16:00. Not much climbing - only about 200m. I love getting outside, even if my hands are still a little frozen. Did some stretching afterwards. May do some yoga later on today, before staying up until all hours of the night to watch the Superbowl. Should be fun!

 

[pcsronbo]

going to lead another 2 hours tri-spin class this afternoon.

Sleepy Super Sunday in my household...<br><br>
niemsco: I agree with der Kaiser... great workout yesterday. Keep up the good work.<br><br>
TASM: Nice to see a run of that caliber, even if it wasn't calibrated <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
T3: Still no rugby... <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"><br><br>
Me...<br><br>
1:20 hour Trainer session:<br>
o WU - 20 min (read latest issue of Triathlon Life, the USAT mag.)<br>
o 6 x 6 min in Gear 7 (Gear 5 normal) w/3' rest (more rest over last two)<br>
Pushed 295W avg. Pretty excited by this because I know I can do more. And I know I can do that for another 10 minutes, partway to my goal for the month.<br>
Followed immediately by...<br><br>
4 mile brick run. Legs tired but moved with pace. Not fluid, but I pushed it pretty hard. Came in with a 45 sec PR for this course.<br><br>
Go Pats!

John - glad to hear you are feeling better. Getting some stuff crossed off the list is a great help.<br><br>
Nothing for me today, my legs are a little sore from ice skating last night - but no falls, so I'm not complaining. I'm cleaning up my road bike, changing the back tire and bringing her in the house to meet her new trainer - coming soon!! I'm so excited, I can't wait.<br><br>
Happy Superbowl everyone!!

 

[Tithers]

I had the shittiest run in a long time! My legs just didn't want to go. I chalked it up to me running a too fast of a brick yesterday (hey-I did what my body wanted to do).<br><br>
Well-I guess it was good for the mental training. I was well-fueled, so it wasn't that. Ohs wells.<br><br>
Supposed to do weights later.<br><br>
Off to Sports Authority to buy hand paddles and flippers. Maybe kick won't take me FOREVER now...

Sorry to 'double post' here, but I'm too dang tired to type out a seperatate report over here...<br><br>
I had the hardest time waking up this morning. Managed to drag my carcass out of bed by 6:30, and in the fishbowl by 7:15. Three others in the fishbowl, which is unusual. I ended up lapping one guy about every 4 laps. At about 40mins, I got kicked out because of a swim class. Oh, I could have split a lane with the other guy, but decided I'd rather just quit early.<br><br>
Very slow transition, then out for a ride. Rode from the gym on a route that I used to ride way back in college. Very enjoyable, although I forgot how many rollers there were! 16.5m, 1:06, 14.9mph.<br><br>
Quick transition at the van, then off for a run. By this point, I was almost out of gas. I was getting hungry! Decent run anyway. 2.3m, 18:52, 8:12pace.<br><br>
Now, I'm home and showered. I'm ready for a nap!

 

[jkaiser20]

A little bit of everything today. A short trainer ride, then a short run, then a short swim. About 20 minutes for each sport. Mainly just to sweat it up a little. I have the pleasure of getting on a plane in the morning and spend about 20 hours in transit to Illinois.<br><br>
Ich freue mich darauf. Not.<br><br>
LRR, please don't break off any relations with me!

 

[pete_72]

13 miles long run. felt very solid. windy and cold, and found a new hilly route (part of the mid section is along Seven Hills Road - no prizes for guessing why). Felt great to finish.

 

[niemsco]

Thanks guys! Watching all the workouts posted on this thread keeps me motivated to get up and get going... so I can post mine <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Rest day for me. I actually have to do some work today for work... sucks <img alt="sad2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad2.gif">. But I had some quality time with the daughter until she had to go to a birthday party! Some Hanna Montana 3-D movie or something... oh boy..

 

[niemsco]

Welcome to Illinois when you get here! There is supposed to be showers Monday and Tuesday, which may be a good thing to get rid of the snow... But then snow showers on Wednesday morning <img alt="sad2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad2.gif">

 

[Kybear]

Can't do anything today after yesterday<img alt="" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
I was running outside for first time of the year on my new shoes (switched from Nike air to a mizuno wave riderII) and actually had to stop at mile 6 due to pain in my left knee. I have had soreness in the past, but it was always post exercise, I've never had to stop. I'm still limping today.<br><br>
Did I go too far on new shoes? Maybe they just aren't the right fit? I haven't been running very long and all my running has been on the nike's, so I'm thinking the different strike stressed my legs in a place they haven't been stressed yet and my increased cardio capacity pushed a muscle or tendon over the limit. Time will tell.

 

[Tithers]

I know when shoes are wrong pretty quickly. You shouldn't be hurting like that...

30min body sculpt workout x 2. First round was with light weights. Second round was with heavy weights. I am having trouble typing now <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">. If this was the week 1-2 workouts I can't imagine what 3-4 and 5-6 are going to be like. It feels good on the inside where it counts though.<br><br>
Happy Super Bowl day everyone!<br><br><b>GO PATS!</b><br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.nflfootballstadiums.com/images/New-England-Patriots-Logo.gif" style="border:0px solid;">

Hello tribuddies<br><br>
Me today a nice and easy 10 miler this morning before I then went off and watcg DS9 at a schools rugby tournament - His school has never got passed the first round stage but today they went all the way and won th whole thing - In total they scored 21 tries and only conceded 3 - over the 5 matches . DS9 scored 4 in total himself and also tackled like a demon - Winning this regional tournament put them into th national finals in 4 weekds time <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
So now that I have whet your appetite for the rugby on to the 6 Nations - In th 1st game yesterday Ireland won 16-11 over an increasingly good Italy side<br><br>
England V Wales with 20 mins to go England were 19-6 ahead and cruising - they got overconfidant and a little sloppy and were punished - 2 converted tries and 2 penalties later and the score was England 19 Wales 26 - alot of very happy and very drunk welsmen and women last night ( It has been 20 years since Wales beat England at Twickenham<br><br>
Today France rolled scotland over 6-27 So I would put france as firm favorites now for the championships<br><br>
Enjoy watching your game tonight with the other Oval ball (Sorry Ella- the 3rd Oval ball)<br><br>
I should be able to stay up and watch most of it as I am off tomorrow - But it is a very late kick off over here<br><br>
Patriots to win a really dull defensive game by 1 field goal to zero <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"><br><br>

Today, spinning on a trainer with my tri club... first time ever doing this. I thought I was gonna die for 1:40. And I"m so depressed no... I can't bike anymore!!!!<br><br>
bcc594, 55.5 kms should be about 35 miles, but how much is 2:16:00?<br><br>
Thor, if the Giants win, I'll tell you how to watch rugby online for free.<br><br>
4boysmom, nice triple brick!!
