Wow i thought was a good time for a half and that's in the bottom 25%? Wow I'd be in the last percentile probably.
Going to the gym later. I skipped yoga today because I wasn't sure if the instructor was going to show up. But I got an outfit for the next yoga class, which I needed anyway.

I went to the doctor today. He wasn't suprised to see me, since we ran together Saturdya. He gave me antibiotics for my cough. He didn't tell me NOT to run... Today was a scheduled rest day. TOmorrow, I have yoga and then swim.

The only thing I keep is a list of my record times and such.
I ran 2 miles today. It was raining which around here most people hate, but I loved it. It was in the mid-30s which felt nice compared to what it has been... I think I will take tomorrow off so I'm not too exhausted for the race on Saturday.

It's called the "Cable Bridge Run". There are 3 distances: 1 mile, 5K and 10K. It's a lot of fun. I'd say about half the folks walk it (the mile or 5K). Last year a group showed up as "reindeer" - tied themselves together and carolled the entire way. It's a really big community event around here and a lot of fun. At the finish, they have a party type atmosphere.

I use Training Peaks. I have a coach, and he posts a workout schedule for me. Once I do the workout, I post the data, either by hand (swimming) or upload from my Garmin (run/bike). This works very well for me. I think it's $15/mo by yourself or $10/mo if you use a coach who uses it. My first coach used it, then when looking for another coach I just looked to see who was in the area who used it.
I have a couple races this winter. I'll most likely do a New Year's Day 5K. I should be able to place there. The end of January, there's a 15miler. Should be fun!
I can't believe how much better I am feeling! I'm not coughing near as much as I was. And my lungs feel so much clearer. I'm really looking forward to running tomorrow!

I have kinda started the log at runnersworld.com. I had one at cool running but I haven't played around with the new format yet. That was the easiest to use. I don't have mine public though since I figure no one wants to see my slow times.
Didn't get a good run yesterday, not sure if I am going to the gym tonight, but if not tomorrow. So I did the elliptical as well

Good to see everyone running! At least someone is.  Last time I went was Saturday, and the past 3 days it has been bitterly cold and windy I couldn't get myself to run. Yesterday, I saw several people braving the cold weather and running outside, but even that couldn't motivate me (usually it does). So the past 2 days I have been doing more weight training to compensate for the no running. Tomorrow I'll run. Hopefully I won't chicken out again.heh.

Stella you can make the runnersworld log public. I am just trying to figure out how to add in more cross training in the fields besides swimming and cycling.

I'm about to brave the cold to run. I wish it didn't get so dark so early though. Oh well, got the reflective gear on so I should be okay.

If you have a Garmin you can use the motionbased.com website to upload and display your runs.
It allows you to view your route on a map or satellite image and even finds the wx based on your location & the time of the run.
I am still trying to figure out how to let others view it but so far no luck.
It also looks like you can only store 20 runs there unless you pay a monthly fee.
So far this week I have logged:
Mon. 8 miles in 1:03:17
Wed. 6 miles in 44:58
Tomorrow I will hit the track
and
Sat. will be 22 miles and my last "long" run before Disney.
Peace,
DNP

30 min run at the treadmill at the gym.
No garmin yet. Debating on it, but I don't think I need one at this point. Might upgrade my HRM since it's acting up again and I did want to get the slightly smaller "women's version". Of course I don't run outside a lot so a hrm and a Nike + will work for me since I am not competing and don't need the exact accuracy of a garmin.

I've had my garmin for aobut a year and a half. I love it!!! The GPS isn't perfect. I run the same routes so afterwhile you know what the distance is, and can adjust. For example, this morning I did my 2m route. THe garmin only gave me 1.75m. I upload to TrainingPeaks, so I adjusted the data there. The HR data is good,, too.
This morning I sat on the bike trainer for an hour. The garmin said I went 40ft. Like I said, gps isn't perfect! Then, quick change and a trot around the neighborhood. 2m in 16:14.
Today I've been reviewing Ian Thorpe's clips. Yep. Hitting the swimming hard this winter. Coach wants me to work on form. Hopefully by reviewing films of good swimmers, I'll get a feel of what I should be doing.

I ordered a Polar F11 HRM (women's version), the garmin was close in price, but like I posted above, I do a lot of indoor exercise so I decided on the F11.
Oh they are rerunning the office "fun run" episode tonight, it was hilarious!

Could be. Or maybe it had been too long since you'd eaten. Maybe a little juice pre-run would help next time.

Or a banana a little bit before the run? I get that once in a while, monday's run was bad, I walked most of it, but Wednesday's was better. I don't think I got enough sleep on Sunday night.
