Just signed up for my first Half Marathon! April 18th Osh Kosh!

Awwwww thanks. They just posted my results. 11th out of 29 total. Now in an outdoor tri you would be looking at 300- 700 ppl. Yes i was a swimmer and biker before becoming a runner. Not good at them but i could do it.

Kudos for the use of the term 'buggered'

Thanks! It was a super sprint. 1/4 mile swim (18laps) 5 mile bike (Stationary spin bike) and a 2.5 mile run on the indoor track I came in about 43 mins. To compare my GB tri is 1/2 mile swim 29mile bike 6.2 mile run (10k) :hurray:

Sat = double Spin class (45 mins each) i love doing the double on a sat! It racks up to about 40miles..but no running cas... Sun = Indoor triathlon!! Yaaaaaaaaaay super fun! 18 laps 5 mile bike 2.5 mile run indoors on the track. 43 mins

finished an indoor Triathlon this morning!!! Yaaaah. it was short but sooo much fun. its got me uber excited about this season.

100% YES!! but dont get the wrist sportband one. Nothing but problems

Tue : recovey run 4 miles, swim 1 mile, cycle 15miles, walked on the treadmill while i watched biggest loser. Wed: Ran 5 miles. Spin class for 55mins

I suffer from migraines too. Weather, too much sugar, stress, not enough sleep can set them off. Or any combo. I get about 2 a month. Normally i can manage them because i feel them coming on early. I know the signs and as long as i get meds quick enough i can catch it. The worst is when it comes at 4am and im too tight to take a pill. No liquid migrane medicine yet! Weight lifting normally makes it worse but running actually helps sometimes. It feels like it clears it out. It depends how bad its got by the time i run. Sorry you dont feel well Kathy. And yes i have had tons of brain scans to make sure there is anything not normal in there.

my bike is ready to go. New tires..new CO2 pump..dying for a Triathlon. I wanted a trainer too this year..but i put it off. Spin has been good to me. Also i am too lazy to take off the race tire and put a training tire on. Next cold season ill get one.

KAthy: SUPER JOB!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember when you started! and look at you now!!! Who would of thought we could do this after we started C25k!

Me too. i had my longest run ever today. So on Sat i ran 12 miles and normally when ive run 10 my legs ache for about 2 days after. Well so achey yesterday. But i rested anyway. Today my legs were itching to go! so i ran 15 miles!!! 15!!! It took about 2hr 30 mins And i did a spin class afterwards for 55 mins.

Today: 15 mile run!! my longest yet..and a 55 min spin class. Woot!

MacMadame...yep welcome to Bricks! The more you practice them the easyier it gets.

Good Job Slinky!!! Today (Sat) i put in a 11 mile run in about 1hr 45min. Not too bad. I put some 10 miles in before but i need to keet it up. I signed up for olympic distance triathlon yesterday. Only done sprints till now. An Olly is : 800yrds swim, 29mile bike ride and 6.2mile run (10k) So i got to get some training finished.

Today an 11mile run. (about 1 hr 40mins)

Free weights today and a 45 min spin class I have to eat out tonight and tomorrow and i really dont like eating out any more.

Here is an update on our teams.

Hey another Nike Plus Bloke!!! YOu should get on our Challange!

Last night 7.5 milr run Today 3 mile run, 45 min spin class Last night the big pool was closed and they were cleaning it..i asked why as it was not scheduled 'oh someone puked up in it' ....clean AWAY!

Just to make you all feel bad, i just read a book "Ultra Marathon Man..Dean Karnazes' Would HIGHLY recomend it. He ran 226 miles non stop! Thats running from Friday at 5pm ish though untill Sunday with no resting!!

Actually the year after he did it again the 199 and turned around and ran another marathon to 226.2 miles Thats like 10 marathons in row!

Hi! Im still at it. I am all excited to watch the Tour of Califonia next week. MacMadame, you should watch some..its on the vs chanal. It will be good viewing to get you ready for Triathlons. I am considering getting out of my comfort zone today by taking a lunchtime run outside. I have a shower in my office but im afaid of the looks ill get walking through the factory. Ok insperation time: A book i would HIGHLY HIGHLY recomend is Ultra Marathon Man by Dean Karnazes. Im nealy done it. Its a huge insperation for running. Think running 6 miles is painful? This guy has ran 199miles in a row! no rest! Started Friday at 5pm and finished Sunday morning. I know none of us could even think about that kind of distance. But it helps me HUGELY when i hit 5 or 6 miles and start to become a baby in my head about how it hurts. GOOD READING. You can get it on Amazon.com i am sure.

Swam 35mins folled imeadately by 45 min spin class...practice for indoor triathlon coming up. I am thinking about getting outside my comfort zone and going for a lunchtime run today. I have a shower in my office im just afraid of the looks ill get walking through the factory.

Last night i did a spin class and some free weights. This morning i slept through my alarm eeeek.
