Post your daily workout

Thoughts_Arrive

I gave the treadmill a miss today and done no weights for my legs (leg press/extension).
Got a sore knee, a pain on the interior, and a pain on the side of my shin.
Thought I'd rest it, no need to stuff myself up before PJ concerts.

back in the H2o and it felt great.

Thinking of running some this week too, but have to get my Vibram's back 1st.

So it might be a week of pool.

theoceansmademe

one day I am going to see just how long i can go.

theoceansmademe

I've been depressed, & in pain the last few months. Longest break from working out since I've moved to Florida 5 years ago . Just starting out again this week & through past experiences I "KNOW" to take it slow at first. 1st day, cardio for 40 minutes on the bike, stretching & sit-ups. 2nd day light leg workout. 3rd day rest . 4th day shoulders. Its good to be in the jacuzzi again.

Since it's too cold to swim, I'm back to the treadmill and the weights. :geek:

I'm still here, and still working out. Just haven't been posting too much. It's nice to read about everyone's workouts though.

I swam 1,250 yards in the pool this morning. I'm struggling because I have changed by kick (more from the hip) and am trying to pull harder so it is tiring me out, but hopefully I will improve my speed by next year's tri season.

Stress fracture is healing to the point that I am running three days per week on trail or track - no pavement yet. Ran 4 miles on Saturday. I'm just so slow now. I hope to be back up to speed as far as running by February 13 when I want to do a half marathon.

Cycling is mostly on the trainer now although our weather has been great. It's just that it is dark by the time I get home.

I am trying to hit the gym two days per week for strengthening. I am thinking about trying the P90x (or something like that) over the winter. I need to do some research on it.

What races do you plan on doing?

I know I will be doing the Reston Triathlon, my local race here in northern VA. Registration opens November 30th and usually fills that day.

Are you familiar with the Total Immersion approach to swimming? Might be worth a look.

Make sure you pull back on that running every 2 weeks. The season is a long way off so don't over train with the running. Your cardio and legs come back fairly quick.

I haven't rode my bike for 6 weeks now. I used to love cycling but haven't been motivated in years like I am with swimming and running.

But with that said I am going to bike more before the triathlon season, I know my time can improve greatly with more training.

Keep up the good work and remember don't push the running.

I'm not sure what "big" event we will do next year. I'm not doing a Half IronMan for sure. Probably longest tri will be Olympic and longest runs will be 1/2 Marathons. I will be running the Fly with the Eagles Half Marathon in Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge in February http://run.olm.net/halfmarathon.htm - a local race. I might do the Land Between the Lakes Trail Run, Grand Rivers, Kentucky - the short one, which is 14+miles in March- also a local race. And then River to River Relay in April across Southern Illinois. We have always wanted to do the Chattanooga Triathlon in July but haven't gotten around to it. Maybe in 2010. We have done the Memphis in May Triathlon several years in a row now, which is the middle of May. I don't know for sure about this year. Some friends mentioned wanting to do the Illinois Marathon/Half - inaugural race I think - which is the beginning of May. Then we have several local sprint triathlons - two in April, one in May, one In September. And then Nashville has several too, but they fill up so fast you have to plan ahead for those.

When is the Reston Triathlon? Is it a sprint? Must be a good race to fill up so quick.

I am going to be careful with the running. I was running so good in 2007, but 2008 and 2009 were nothing but injuries. Don't want 2010 to be like that.

As to the bike I usually am on the trainer all winter - never really take time off the bike, but bike time is greatly reduced. Sitting on the trainer inside the house makes me as crazy as being on the treadmill at the gym. But I do have a book of good trainer workouts which makes it more tolerable. My husband and our friends do quite a bit of mnt. biking in the winter at Land Between the Lakes but I am a terrible mountain biker! I enjoy it but am just so bad at it that I don't do it much so usually end up trail running.

Keep me updated on how the Vibram shoes (not really shoes are they?) are working out. Two friends got them but I don't think they have ran in them yet. I think they are just wearing them around the house to get used to them.

The Reston Tri is Olympic distance.

2010 race is Sunday September 12th.

The race fills up fast because Northern Virginia is an fairly wealthy section of the country and many triathletes come from the middle to upper middle class. At least from what I have witnessed.

My Vibram KSO Trek model just came today and all I can say is WOW. I can't wait to get them out on the trail. I had the KSO and did a few trail runs in them and loved it. But the treks are going to be great. They have a thicker sole, meaning rocks won't hurt as much, but also maintaining the barefoot feel. The upper section is more durable as well.

They call it packer leather or high performance leather. It breathable but perspiration resistant.

I'll walk one more day in them and then run on Thursday.

I'll do some laps tomorrow.

Not much posting here as in Adelaide for show 2. Ran around the river and university the other day. Finding it hard to train but running most days.

Have fun. Wish I was there.

Finally got my ass back to the gym this week. Had not been since before Philly and have been battling a cold since I got home (not to mention recovering from the abuse I had inflicted upon myself for four days in Philly!).

Legs and shoulders today. Nothing heavy on weight since I haven't been for awhile but I'll still be lucky if I can walk by Monday. Love leg day but hate it too....

Random_Wookie

walked 40 minutes to the gym, for a 45 minute cycle class. Been a little lazy with my posting over last couple of weeks and with my workouts.
