Saturday Workouts....
What a gorgeous morning!!! It was actually in the 60's....Yes!!!! So I finally got in a longer run which was desperately needed. I got in 13 miles in 2:10:17 which is a perfect 10 minute mile which is what I am shooting for in my marthon in Feb. I then went to the gym and swam 2000Meters in 36:47. I am finally on the mend and this congestion is finally going Bye-Bye so I can get back to grinding it out. I hope everyone is well and I look forward to hearing from you all!

Hey Dan, gotta love when the weather cooperates now that your marathon is so close. Nice job on the pacing.
Today was a one-hour spin class, followed by a 3-mile easy run. My kids want to go downhill skiing tomorrow, but I'm on the fence. It's supposed to be a beautiful day, but I'm still feeling a little protective of my hip.

60's? 60's? Dont tell me that...
It was a mere 9 degrees this morning, with a decent wind. I did 5 miles this morning with my half marathon group in like 43 mins.
My eyes lids would freeze shut while running. It was by far the crazyest run Ive had to date. Even with the cold temps, it was a very good run.
I didnt have any problems with my burned, blistered over toes, but I did get a hot spot on my arch. I traced it back to the insole. Its actually a defect with Nike's insole. I now have a Mizuno insole inmy Nike zooms.
Be well, everyone

Nothing annoys me more than treadmill malfunctions during a run. Way to go with the 1.5 and keep pushing for the 10 mm.

I'm more than a little jealous of your weather! I got out in temps around 10 with the wind chill factor and did 2.7 mile run. It was great to run outside even with the cold weather - it is just so much better than the treadmill in my opinion.

I wish I wasn't such a weather woosie! For me to run out side it has to be between 50-72 and calm and dry and light and sunny but not too sunny.... I am kidding but I do hit the treadmill a lot and I'd rather run outside.

Sat was a leg day for me. There was a guy lurking around who looked like he knew his way around a gym. I had to assert my status as the top dog so it became a leg day.
anyway...
leg press 765 - 8 @ 3 sets
leg extensions 180 - 8 @ 3 sets
hamstring curls 135 - 8 @ 3 sets
also:
20 min stretching and some minor core work.
