We're just finishing up Week 7 of the January OutSeason ... time for a poll question on how you're doing!  (Note: I opted to make the poll anonymous, so your vote won't be visible to others.  However, if you don't mind sharing your vote, please do so)

    My OS could be better: had 4 good weeks and three not-so-good weeks.  Got hit with the flu and that took me down for a while.  Clearly I'm hoping for a much better second half!

    Work and illness have gotten in the way for me. Now traveling for work for next two weeks, which especially makes bike workouts tough. I’ll keep pushing, though, and accept the mojo of the team.

    This OS is not going as well as last year's.  Luckily I have avoided the flu and strep. My 10 yo son not so much.  Poor kid.  But I did manage to keep everyone else healthy.  Week 7 was a total miss as we were skiing in CO for the President's Day Holiday.  I hope skiing counts for something.  Skiied 5 days in a row which was great fun.  Got back on the bike today and did a brick run.  Oh did that run hurt.  Hopefully this coming week will be better.  As mentioned in the JOS bike forum, two more weeks in the OS then I jump into the Int HIM getting ready for Haines City.

    I've had a really good OS through week 7.  Have been really impressed with the plan so far.  RD / OS was my main reason for coming into TeamEN and have been loving it.  Luckily have remained injury free and on task thus far.  Looking forward to building more strength on bike and speed on the run.  Input from the team on the forums and interactive team riding on Sundays has been great!

    Returning from (the same) injury again. Ego-related wishful thinking has no place in an EN Athlete’s training decisions. Run parole (Return to Running Program) for the remainder of JOS... hoping that does the trick. Swimming focus in February was new for me, but I’m fast and fit. Toning down the bike intensity... but should be hitting the L1 intervals as written this week. KMF.

    Avoided the flu so far and have been kicking through the workouts. The second half of OS will have some scheduling hurdles—traveling for most of March with limited ability to get the wkos in. Hopefully i’ve built enough of a strong base to be able to ramp back in quickly in April!

    MAN DOWN!

    OS is going as expected.  Hard and seeing results.  However....

    I slipped and fell while shoveling snow on Saturday and slightly tore my lower abdomen muscle.  Very painful.  So I am putting my Big Boy Pants on and will focus on recovery/rest through Wednesday per the docs instructions.  Hope to be back for Thursday WKO.

    Upside?  The Hydrocodone meds are making me a very happy and relaxed man.   ;)

    Thanks.

    @Carole Harbison -- I hope you're able to get the WKOs in along with the travel.  Running is probably the easiest for me during travel, even two short runs per day (2 miles each), to keep the mojo going.  Just try to avoid those 3-hour client dinners!

    going as expected considering I had a down week on the after crewing for Brian, I had my legs rest last week. I am back at it this week with the nice weather arriving !

    That’s so good to remember, @“Paul Curtin”. So often I feel like if I don’t have the energy to do a 5 mile run, what’s the point, but doing something is always better than nothing!!

    Another flu stricken one here, but got the consistency back last week and looking forward to building on that through the second half of the OS!

    It's been a rough start. Torn meniscus, then flu. Surgery is scheduled for the end of the month. I plan to add some swimming starting 3/1 and the biking is going well, though it can be very challenging. Liking the consistency of strength workouts. Body comp is a long term commitment but seeing calorie data is a big help toward making better choices

    MY OS is/was going great. I've also been swimming 3 times a week. I was off for 4-5 days during a ski trip and returned with a head cold. For the past week, it's been a struggle getting in the workouts while trying to get more rest. I hope to shake this cold by next week.
