Always a fun thread! 1:30min run, 11.5miles @ an easy 7:48 pace. 102 miles on the bike yesterday cooked my quads!

Long run day today, which is only 9 miles at this point. It's sunny and cold outside, I'm waiting until about 1:30 when I'll have optimum warmth and hit a local trail. I'll do 1:30 spin this evening on the trainer, then take my kids to see David Copperfield tonight. Wheee!

Today marked the last really long training weekend before heading off to IM-NZ. Yesterday was a very good day, logged 110.7 miles on the computrainer in 5:43, did a little 2 mile recovery run to loosen up and today was a 1,500 m. swim and a 3hour 19.8 mile treadmill run. What a great weekend. The taper
starts now. Anybody else headed to Taupo?

Areobic Time Trial on the bike. That was good.
Then made up an easy run and a swim session that I missed earlier in the week due to travel for work.

A long run to end in style a good week....20km...
Yesterday, I took the day off, since I went to donate 1 unit of blood for MD Anderson Blood Bank...
Today I hydrate myself agresively before going out...at the beggining my heart rate was a bit high, but then I think my body got in to balance, and I was flying....I enjoyed so much...nice weather, sun out...

LSD run today--8 miles on an indoor track. (Temps would have been tolerable at around 18F today, but the wind made me opt for indoors).
Yesterday -- 2 hours total on rollers and the trainer. My first time hitting the two hour mark this offseason.

8 mile tempo run in the morning, was supposed to do a 30 min ocean swim, but it's pouring and I don't really want Hepatitis, so it's looking like the pool this afternoon.

1 hr on the eliptical trainer, half hour water jogging in the morning. (Still can't run with achilles injury...start therapy tomorrow at a sports med clinic). In the evening did 1 hr on trainer. (Lake effect snow and outdoor biking don't go together) Good week, 13 hrs plus (base 1 week 2 complete for IMWI plan). Week was a max strenght week for the weights, definitely feel it in the legs and shoulders/back when swimming!.

Wow, you guys (and gals) are nuts! I did a brick: 25 mile bike / 3 mile run, and I thought that was a lot. Tomorrow swim 1500m and do abs and arms in the gym. This evening ordered 3 new bike jerseys and 2 pair of tri shorts. I guess I can't tell the wife anymore she can't have that new Coach purse, huh?

Yesterday I enjoyed a Swiss day of Federer, Fondue and Frey (Swiss) chocolate :D Can't beat that!
Today I did an 11-mile LSR on the grass at the local park. It was 41 degrees when I was finished at 9:00am. Brrrrr..I'm still trying to warm up.

You hear that Mr. Anderson, that is the sound of inevitability...
Seriously man just go and buy it for her, you know she is gonna get it anyways and that helps give you crazy good points :)
Back onto the thread now that I have jacked it. Sunday was my happy swim day. I am still gleaming with happiness on how well it went 4300 straight all laps back to back.

Yeah, um- I'm doing my time on the elliptical. My temps said 35 at 8am. With 10- 20 mph winds. That = me sleeping in a bit.

off day from real training yesterday as I was in beautiful Tucson AZ to visit my nephews (and their parents). Spent a while at the park with my nephews (2 1/2 yrs and 3 mo) and their cousin (just 3 yrs) and my brother. Got to go down slides, push on swings, play football, and walk many many laps around the slides "auntie ky look at me" with a fusy baby who's tummy was upset. I'm exhausted, but in a good way!

Take it from someone who has a Coach collection (worth more than all my tri gear- bikes included), you cannot tell her she cannot have the bag. Handbags are in important part of every ladies wardrobe :)

That's funny, get married and you will. And as a cop, when I'm taking a report of a stolen purse, and it's a Coach, usually the purse is worth more than what was in it.
This morning it was 50 degrees here in Ft Lauderdale, OUCH! I woke up and thought I was back in Jersey, what a nightmare. I ran 6 miles covered up from head to toe, hat and gloves included. I can't take the cold anymore. Tourists are out running in shorts and tees looking at me like I'm nuts. I guess it's all relative.

Thats ok, my hubby carries Coach now--wallet and checkbook :)

I'd just like to say that I got snow this year (in southern CA -- east of LA) and my brother got snow this year (Tucson, AZ) before my sister got any (NYC, NY). So it can get cold here! It's just rare :)
(And yes, I still swam in an outdoor pool that morning)

Ya, with the right gear - it really is no big deal. I actually like running in the cold. Everything feels so crisp and clean.

Ooooooo an oldie but goodie. Took a rest day yesterday cause the legs hurt but this morning in the 0*C (32F) weather I got up and rode for an hour, then came back, cold, changed clothes and went for a 32km run. Took the hydration backpack with me and hit EVERY portopotty on the way to half point :p 2L of gatorade. Orange going in and clear comin' out! Sugar makes the long runs better. IMAZ is looming :eek: So off to the pool for a set (~2100m)
