saturday workouts

NOTHING I planned today worked out.

Got to the gym to find ALL the fans with the spin class (only 7 people).  They moved the one from the treadmills for that class so there were none for anyone else.  So... upset as I was about my plans being messed up, I did 30 min of upper body strength training while I waited for the class to get over.

Now that I had the fan, things were going fine.  3.6 miles in 32 minutes, feeling good, when I had the urge to use the potty.  I left the fan on AND my iPod on the TM, but when I got out, the fan was moved and someone else was on the TM (there were others open).  I went and got my iPod from the TM and all the lady said was, "Oh, I didn't know anyone was on this."  She didn't bother asking me if I was done (which I wasn't - still had 2.4 miles to go).  So, since the fan got moved to a place not anywhere near the open TMs, I just got mad and went home.

I also hate the first of the year.  I go out of my way to be sure I'm there at times of day when these things won't be a problem.  But with so many new faces, it's much harder.  I decided to make a laminated sign that says I run many miles and often need to use the potty; I'll be back in a few minutes to finish my workout.  Hope it works.  I hate leaving my wonderful gym angry...

19 mile run. Last long run before Houston marathon in 2 weeks. I felt pretty good.

 45 minutes on stationary bike

Early run this morning.  5.1 miles outside on a hilly course.  It was 17 degrees and 15-20 mph winds most of the run.   But it felt good getting back on the road and running with my running coach.  Tomorrow I join a new gym.

 I waited until 7pm to go workout, thought I'd let the crowd thin out a bit.  I did ten miles on the stationary bike in thirty minutes with an average pace of 20mph.  I walked/ran 3.3 miles in 45 minutes and I did a complete upper and lower body weight workout.

I had one of my best workouts in months today.

1/4 mile W/U - 5 miles at 9:20 pace and 1/4 mile cool down.

I also did legs and some core work. 

The best part was my weigh in.  I was 259 which is 8 pounds less than my first weigh in last year. 

Scott,

Thats awesome bro, congrats on the loss! and Great workout....

Good job Scott.  You've got 14 lbs on me and can totally out run my butt.  I can go the distance but I just can't do it quickly....right now anyway.

I overslept and missed my group run at 0800. I had to run by myself and did 2.25 outside flat with rollong hills. I am working my way back up to 4 miles. This is the first 2.25, last week was 2.0 miles; three times. It is getting better again.
