Winter won't end Monday
On the road again today. Will try to fit in something tonight. Either a run or a hotel room workout.
The Summer of Eng is over.
Re: Winter won't end Monday
MacDonalds coffee and a gym workout this morning. I am doing a trail run later today.
If you have to ask me why I Run, You probably wouldn't understand!
Re: Winter won't end Monday
I've got to get some shots later, so I'm going to walk to the doctor and then home for about 6k. We're short staffed today, so I may not get out for lunch, but if I can, I'll do strength work.
Life is short. Stop whining!!- Jwolf

Re: Winter won't end Monday
Rest day for me!
Re: Winter won't end Monday
45 minutes on the ellipitcal and my strength circuit.
Oh boy, it will be interesting to see how ATB goes. Could go either way. I'm as undertrained as I have ever been for this event, yet I'm curious to see how a proper (maybe too much?) of a taper will help offset my lower fitness. We shall see!

Re: Winter won't end Monday
I don't want to jinx myself by saying it, but I brought my stuff to go SWIMMING after work! Since it's my first swim in a while, I'll probably only do 20-30 minutes.

Up with a sick kid since 4am, so no run for me before work today. I'm hoping to get to the gym early before my yoga class tonight and do a quick 4-6k on the TM.

Re: Winter won't end Monday
Winter not ending for sure in the GTA; the forecast is for more yucky weather today and tomorrow. Enough already!!! I am scheduled to go to BC on Thursday afternoon for my niece's wedding, staying until Monday, and I'm crossing my fingers that it won't be too rainy. Love the thought of running outside in single layers in above-freezing temps.
Easy-ish day for me: 20 minutes on the elliptical and upper body weights.

When your legs get tired, run with your heart.
Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary.

Whenever I don't feel like workout out, I think of those of you who travel so much for work, and still get their workouts in, and that gives me the "push" I need

45 minute swim today.
Spring break is going to really mess up my routine... Oh well I'll just try to stay as active as possible.

Re: Winter won't end Monday
Once again (after whining in IB's log), I'm going to try to post more in the daily thread!
RA - I was excited to hear about your shots.....until I realized they were medicine and not alcohol related!
I have a rest day today. I'm feeling stressed though....lots of stuff on our plates these days!

Walked through the snow mess to get to a Dr Appointment. 4 miles round trip and then shoveled. Off to the gym now for a jaunt on the TM.

Re: Winter won't end Monday
It's still snowing here! Tonight is 75 minutes coached spin. Will get there early to do weights and abs. Afterwards I am volunteering at the Casino to be a counter for the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton (SACE). My BF is the treasurer and I agreed to help. My shift is from 9:45pm until 3:30am. I am lucky that my work allows us to take 2 days off a year for volunteering so i am taking Tuesday off
Have a great day!

I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise...it's a consistent reward for victory!
