Despite getting home late, dragged my lazy self out to the gym Friday, rowed for a bit, then a set of weights. Nothing too strenuous, as I'm just trying to knock the rust off.

Wife joined, which is helpful.

someone has to have the whip on hand....that's the wife...

Worked out again Sunday.  More of the same.

I've been sick with a cold so no real workout this weekend but I did get in about 6 miles of walking on Sunday, 4 miles today.

I need to join this thread because it's way cheeper than the gym.  

omg I'm so out of shape. I spent the last year kind of loving on my 848 And hardcore job hunting stressing out. Now I feel like the soft underbelly of my cat slightly less furry.

Baby steps:
I started running around the block every morning.
Day 5 I ran up the hill to a park and back. I could breathe again
Day 7 I road about 20 miles in brutal wind on a pretty flat road. WowEow that felt good.      

Just got back from the gym.  Today was my back and shoulders lifting day followed by a bunch of ab work and a two mile run.  Going to be a touch sore tomorrow. 

Glad to see that everyone's keeping up the effort over the winter!

After a stressful early week, I'm really looking forward to getting to the gym tonight. Tonights routine includes:

Weights - shoulders, chest, biceps, core, core, core.
2 Spin classes (2.5hrs)

Fortunatly I rememberd to bring some extra chicken with me to work to keep me from getting ravenously hungry.

TWO spinning classes MD? I'm scared to do one....every time i walk past the spinning room towards the locker room my spine tingles with fear!

I have no idea what a spin class is. All I can think of is the phrase "sit and spin" which probably is not the same.

LOL, if I wasn't already in cycling shape, it would be too much to do 2 classes back to back. I really like them for maintaining while it's still too cold out for me to enjoy cycling. You should try them though sometime - they're great...that being said it depends on you finding an instructor whose class you like best. Trust me when I say it that they are ALL different.

It's a group class that trains like indoor cycling. There's approximately 30-40 bikes and each class is lead on a mock ride that works endurance, hill climbing, sprints, switch backs, ect... for a 60 minute period of time.

They are great for strength building as well as calorie incineration.

Jumped on the bike on Sunday after a 2-year absence due to injury.

I thought it was a good idea to ride 20+ miles... 

Yesterday was OWWWWW!!!

today is a bit better.

Can't wait to do my next triathlon.  I'm aiming for the Strawberry Fields Olympic Distance Tri in June.  Pretty ambitious, I know, but I'm a glutton for punishment.    

My fitness program is going through a difficult adjustment as a result of my move from Alaska to Texas.  Last year at this time I was training for a XC skiing Marathon.  I've switched to running, but it just isn't fun like skiing was.  But I'm sticking with it.  Just wish I could glide down the hills, if there were any hills.  (pregnant dog, pregnant dog, pregnant dog)

Jeez... finding an hour a day to workout is tough enough sometimes.
I wish I could dedicate 4 hours a night to it...

It won't be that way forever that's for sure! So I just take the time while I have it and make the most of it!

You better buy some cold weather gear for Tahoe, then.  It can be quite chilly there at 6AM in June.

Lots of layers and know how to carry them on the bike.
