Completed my first triathlon of the year last Saturday - The Rec Your Body Indoor Triathlon at SIU- Carbondale. I swam 20 lengths in 10 minutes (good for me but not good by good swimmer standards); I rode 13.1 miles in 20 minutes (on a spin bike); and ran 16 1/2 laps on an indoor 1/8 mile course (over 2 miles). This was my best performance in that triathlon - having done 3.

I am still working out 3-4 times a week. I only do 1 hour classes--I get bored on machines. Trying
a new class tonight but it is not until 9 pm which is pretty damned late! The acronym for it
is R.I.P.P.E.D but don't know what the stands for!!
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

Monday our teacher said we were too used to the
pyramid so mixed it up. I am still hurting from Monday...I think it was
the curtsy lunges if that is what you call them!! I am not big into
technical terms!
@ the "you still stand" remark!
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
weights - legs on tues/thurs. ( I love the seated leg press machine )
Now that the weather is above freezing - I'm outside running.... yippie
do you ever do excersizes for your shoulders or chest, or just arms and back? These would be "push" excersizes like push ups, overhead presses, lateral raises, etc.
for legs, squats and lunges are more effective than leg presses. But leg presses are good, too

tomorrow... instead of drinking Ima runnin lika da win. 7 miles.
ooops. ouch. My entire body hurty. Damn women... I was gonna go home last night about 8pm after only 3 beers but then I ran into a girl that was all up on me, and I was trying to get up in her fanny batter, so I stayed out til 1am. Digits only. FAIL.
Anyway, I'm forcing myself to the gym today at Noon. Hitting the weights hard so as to punish myself and psychologically imprint my brain so that next time I go home instead of poisoning myself with alchohol.

Nailed it in 19:54. This sets the bar.
Getting ready to do my first 5K this summer.
It definitely helps with soreness later on and also promotes muscle growth.
I stretch out in between most excersizes, even if it is just for 10 - 15 seconds, on the muscle group that I am working on.
