Has anyone taken up Bycyling?

[babygrl1234 6]

I would love to be outside if it was not a huge sheet of ice. I slipped and slid to my car this morning which sucked royally. But once I get into doing longer runs I am going to have to go outside. The 6 miles on the indoor track were sheer hell, walls, gym, treadmills, weights, walls, gym, treadmill, weights for 60 fucking laps. I need scenery. But I need warmth too. You are a lucky shit some 175 miles south of me. It's gotta be a little bit warmer.

I'll get your ass to do a Tri. Maybe not next year but oh yes, Juli will be a bad ass.

BG - I aspire to doing a tri, also. If I can ever get to running, that is! My BIL runs marathons, so I asked him how you find them. Maybe you've seen this site? The American Triathlon Calendar It's pretty cool!

This is what I want to do next year.

Danskin® - Triathlon Home - Fitness, Dance and Yoga Apparel for Women and Girls

Thanks for the site I will have to take a gander at it.

Keep the exercise mojo coming. I need to get off of my ass... I'm up 2 pounds... UGH!!!!

OK... all this damn RUNNING ya'll do... Have you heard of John Bingham? (John "The Penguin" Bingham) Very interesting. Im going to get a couple of his books and see what kind of running courage I can muster up! My dad was telling me that he wants to start running 1/2 marathons this Spring. I'd love to run with him. (My dad has lost 100 pounds this year by pure will and calorie counting. He still probably weighs about 400 pounds and is 52 years old.) ANyway... Keep talking about running yo! You get me all excited!

Hup, hup...get a move on.

Hugs and Kisses.

Hey, my workout partner is 52 years old and he weighed over 300 pounds when he started working out. Now he's the most "cut up" guy in the gym! A real big powerhouse whose body fat percentage I would guess at about 5% or less! So your dad can do it!

Also, let me know what you read...I am looking for that one special piece of inspiration to get me pounding the streets. The cold won't bother me a bit to run.

Run Injury Free with Jeff Galloway: Your Complete Running Resource. Marathon Training, Half Marathon Training, 10K Training.

Excellent running program IMO. I have his book on running and his marathon book and both are very good reads. I also have a running for woman book by I think Claire something who is an editor at running world magazine.

[OH Juli 15]

I have Running for Women too. I'll have to check out more books.

TX, the cold????? It is -14 here this morning with the wind chill....just a mere -1 with the wind chill not factored in.....I am not sure you know what cold is......

[babygrl1234 6]

I agree with D.

Awe hell, I feel like Ohio is freaking tropical compared.

I'm running outside today. It's wet but about 40 degrees. Mind you we should get some snow this weekend...but it really doesn't stick around until the end of January/February.

Tomorrow is the last bit of school I have until January 28th...do you know how happy that makes me????

[babygrl1234 6]

Woohoo! School holiday.

What a difference a week makes!!!

Last week's pulling of my head out of my ass seems to have paid off...

In the last week, I have -

• Lost 7 pounds. More than I lost in October and November, combined.
  
• Bought the bike that I would have bought if I hadn't been so big when I was originally looking
  
• Ridden my bike or exercise bike 6 of the 7 days since then. Walked 40 minutes or more for 5 of those days.
  
• Accomplished more at work than I have in the past month
  
• Generally have that spring in my step that has been missing for the past month or so.
  

Bike on...

[OH Juli 15]

Bike on indeed.

That's a fantastic turn around. You da' man. Woot Woot!
