      on your 500s are you saying 45 sec for a 50 or what? what does the (45") mean? If I'm interpreting right, that's dang fast (for me!). lol. I would die.

      Not to influence you but I am so hoping not to be riding it alone. It is supposed to be a lot of fun.

      Good job making that happen. I sure remember how the kiddos acted up when hubby was out of town. My dog was always good though :)

    greatHR Fail 5.87 mi 00:50 08:31 pace

    I did this run right after my swim so maybe that is why I had a hard time with my heart rate. I was supposed to do at least half of it in Zone 2 and avoid 3 and above. Before I started my HR was at 42 or .6 of my MHR but at the first step I was at 3.... read more

    I have got to get better with this garmin stuff. Last night I set up a workout that was supposed to be 60,50,40,30,20 sec sprints repeated three times with a short recovery in between each set but somehow I set it to not start the next sprint until my ... read more

      Sheila, I use Jeff over at PRSfit and I love him. He is really reasonable and saved my butt when I was out for so long with the foot. With his help I didn't lose fitness at all. And he is really great with the workouts. He mixes things up for me and works my butt off.
