2010 Running (and more!) Thread - Page 77

FrankO · 02-11-2010

I ran just over a 5k at a slow 9 minute pace. I didn't really feel like pushing after almost of week of getting hammered at work with little sleep. Then I hit the weights hard and then a sauna.......
It was close to 70 and I was wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
Good lord, I was chilly at first.
I can't wait until I move to La Paz in a couple of years.

nice job.

Took yesterday off. It was the last day of a 5 out of 7, 12 hour shift nights. Now I only work Monday then next weekend then PLAYA.
Wanted to run 7 today but the riverwalk trail wasn't cleared so I had to run along the road that goes through the park. The last time I ran this route was early spring a couple of years ago. I was running repeat tempos down the road with my Jack Russell. A girl asked if she could take some pictures of us running. I said sure. Our picture ended up on the front page of the local paper. (5x7 above the fold)

Any way, ended up doing 6 today. About the same time as last week.

This is my biggest week of the month. So plan on hitting everything hard this week. Unless i catch Tammy's flu, that hit her Thursday at work.

I was supposed to run a 5k race tomorrow but just found out it got cancelled.

I'll have to get out on the road and run anyway!

Bosu class kicked butt last night! It was phenomenal - even better than last week!

Tonight is group power for 60 mins and then.....then....I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm taking "Urban Striptease".

LOL! I can't believe I'm actually doing it but I am. No poles involved and I'll be keeping all my clothes on. Steve is disappointed that its "women only".

TG and I post our dancing videos on the web so I'm sure you'll do the same.

Likely no running for me tomorrow as I have to be up early for a cub scouts all day outdoor fun event, but I'm hoping for about 8 miles on Sunday AM.

YES!! I'm so glad you signed up for this- I've always wanted to try it

Please post about how it went

I won't make you post pics- those are for Steve

Frank- I want your job

Nice job on the workout!! It's so hard when you're tired (and drunk

)

And we have a celebrity in our midst

You have to post the pic, David

If you have the opportunity to take the class - TAKE IT! OMG Wicked workout! I am sore already! Yes, it is a tough workout! It was so much fun! The instructor is my Bosu teacher - totally hot chica. About 45 and smokin' hot body. I definitely learned some new moves!!

She teaches a pole dancing class too. I don't know if I'm THAT brave!

Sorry buddy! NO VIDEO!

To all the chicas out there - take a striptease class!! It's WAY more fun than I expected and is truly a workout! I'm bummed this one is only once a month! I need to find more classes like this one!!

An hour on the bike trainer today while I watched "Lost".

Found a 1st race of the year. Our town has a big St. Patrick's day race. We're usually still in Playa or just got back but it's late this year (March 21) so I'll be able to run it.

Buggirl · 02-13-2010

Ya- no running today for me. What a eh week. Jeremy braved it in the shin-deep snow, and only made it about a mile. He and Zoe were exhausted

I'm still not comfortable on the road- too icy/narrow/not enough places for me to jump off if need be. And I was too lazy to drive 1/2 hour to the HS and run on the track

I opted for the dvd inside my warm house instead

MAYBE manana I'll brave the trail- some more snow should have melted......so far this is the first week I haven't run at all. Meh

That will be my first race of the year too. The O'Hartford race. Should be good! Can't wait to start racing season again! Need the motivation!

FrankO · 02-13-2010

Nomenclature.......
that means we were up most of the nights on 24 hour shifts enabling society.
Got a 40 minute spin on the trainer today.....different muscles, or just more isolated.....
Closer to 75 today. What the heck is up with winter around here?

January Guy · 02-13-2010

Got out on a 7 miler today on a sunny/gorgeous day (although it was only in the low 20's). Probably would have gone further but TG needed me home for the kids as she was taking off.

Furthest I've gone since the frozen 1/2. It was awesome to be out there! Time just flew by.

Buggirl · 02-14-2010

David, Frank, and JG- woo-hoo! Nice work guys

So I guess I better post my accountability for my lame week.

Monday- 3 miles walk/run (I only ran because the sun was rapidly setting- and only downhill, at that

)
Tues- upper/lower weights+abs
Weds- nada

Thurs- dvd, shoveling snow, upper weights
Fri- nada- unless you count the 2 hours I spent working with an ox in the snow- helping to push 20ft logs onto his sled (or directing the kids to do it

)
Sat- dvd
Sun- dvd+ upper weights/abs

I totally wussed out on the running this week. Monday I was too tired from a late super bowl night

Weds wasn't my fault- the trail was blocked and the road was too icy, but Sat and Sun I didn't want to run in the snow- it's so deeeeep (she says in her best whiny voice)

Oh well- next week is a new week. Hopefully the dreaded snow will be gone soon.

DavidB · 02-14-2010

Finished the week out with a 6 mile run today. Did the out and back course. Into the wind almost the entire out. Nothing to bad just a constant wind. It was nice to turn around and have it push me home. Ended up running real even pace. The first two miles and the last two where all within 10 seconds of each other. 3 and 4 are hilly and had more wind. That is one thing nice about the treadmill. It really helps you get a pace down. Now I just need to get faster.

Even though I've been running lots of 6 and some 7 milers I'm really not comfortable with that distance yet. I feel good up to 5 but really have to work after that. It's not that it's hard it 's just my legs get tiered, and I have to concentrate on my pace.

The good news is that I was looking at some of my logs from 2007 and 2008 and my times are about where I was at this time of year then.

Almost forgot. 28 miles on the bike trainer, and 23 miles running this week. 1 day off, no weights.

Nice!

I haven't been on my bike training once this year.

I've been really bad about it. We just bought a 42 inch tv and it's set up in the basement where the bikes are. Really have no excuse now!
