My friend drove up from Ftn Inn and after we ran some errands in Greer, she said she really, really wanted to go for a walk. I was apprehensive because of the wind, but at least there was sun, and ... read more

Maybe 2012 will be the year of the century ride; maybe not. I will continue to set short-term goals, do my best, and enjoy the ride (or run)!

good Squats/lunges/calves 00:20
Time constraints because I had to be across town to watch our school's girls' basketball team at the division semi-finals. Did 3x25 calf raises, 3x25 squats with 7lb ball, and two sets of 30 lunges... read more

good elliptical 2 mi 00:20 10:00 pace
Banged out 2mi on the elliptical. Was sweaty and hurting when I was done.

good Bis, Tris, shoulders 00:25
went up to 6# hand weights today. I mostly used the 5#s last week. May even go up again next week because I was able to get through most of the exercises without muscle exhaustion.

RUN
good treadmill hill repeats 2.65 mi 00:37 14:03 pace
I dragged myself to the gym (14hr workday the day before was a killer) and had put hill repeats on my calendar for today, so I ran a 1mi warmup at 12:00-11:30 (incrementally increased the speed), t... read more

alright SRT w/Klaus 4.25 mi 00:53 12:25 pace
Dare I say it was too hot today? Or that it was "too late in the day" to head out? In freaking FEBRUARY!? It was certainly gorgeous out this afternoon, but we waited too late to do our ru... read more

RUN
good Treadmill 5k speedwork 3.1 mi 00:35 11:12 pace
I never feel like I get my money's worth from the gym if I don't kick my own butt in some way every time I go. Sore from the squats and lunges of the day before, I climbed (reluctantly!) onto the t... read more

good 15-15 4.4 mi 00:30 06:49 pace
It was SO gorgeous out and I did lament that my feet were hurting today because that meant no running outdoors. I need to save my feet as best I can for a longer run on Sunday and whatever treadmil... read more

That sounds like a great workout/idea for the sprints/back off, climbing/back off sequence. Sounds a little like a one-person spin class! I might try that next time I'm on the exercise bike.

It certainly makes the time go by faster! Another one of those mind games I have to play with myself in order to get the workout done. :)

Thanks! Maybe I can legitimately beat him this year. Last year he was having a lot of gout/foot trouble and didn't run his best possible time. We'll see what happens! :) It's a fun competition we have. He's beaten me all 8 times that I've been there with him.

good Biceps/Triceps/Abs 00:25
Did 2 kinds of ab exercises and four different arm ones -- two bis and two tris. Went up to 6# hand weights, which I know doesn't sound like a lot but I am working my way back up to those 10#s. :) ... read more

good Bike and Treadmill 5.5 mi 00:40 07:16 pace
Did 4 on the bike in 20 minutes (a la spin class-like intervals), then decided to hop on the TM and do some running since I won't be able to get back to the gym until Thursday. Did 2minx .5% inclin... read more

good SRT w/Klaus 4 mi 00:47 11:51 pace
We had a great run in the sunshine! Looks like the effort at the gym is still working. I was even running a 10:45min/mi for most of the last mile! Garmin HR stats look to be a little off (223?).

Thanks! @Barbara -- A little *too* excellent for this time of year... mostly upper 50sF--60s this week! Wondering if winter is still lurking somewhere in Feb., or if I should just give up all hope of having a winter this year. Guess it's a little warm right now for you guys, too...

good 15-15 elliptical/bike 4.5 mi 00:30 06:40 pace
I almost didn't go to the gym this afternoon (stomach was giving me some grief today), but I downed some Tums and I went anyhow. And I felt great after, so I'm glad I went!

Signed up for my first-ever attempt at the Reed River 10K. Heartbroken that the Bridge Run doesn't seem to be an option for me this year, but looking forward to doing a new (to me) race.

I bet Reedy River will be awesome. When is it? I'm sorry you can't do the bridge run. I know how much you love it. :(

That's a fun race, although I decided not to do it this year so I could do others. Don't worry too much about the course - just enjoy being downtown with all the runners.

I guess I should just get used to warm running again, considering I doubt that it's ever going to get any colder!
