  • Pretty boring running for me. First three days were all 8 miles over one hour on treadmill. 9 points a day. Outside Monday!

  • I’m back home from a week Caribbean cruise vacation. Got all plan workouts in – the bike sessions on an exercise bike sure is not as comfortable!!! 

    I started the challenge on Christmas Day with 2 hrs on the Dreadmill on the Boat. I got in 14 miles with 2 at TP. Wow my heat acclimation is sure gone, I just poured sweat. If I have to do a long run on a treadmill, having a view of Aruba and the beautiful turquoise water is not a bad way to do it.

    Saturday at sea all day, hit the bike workout and transitioned over to the treadmill. The bike plus the long run the day before had the legs a bit toasty. Got in an hour and 7 miles at Z1-Z2 pace. The sea state was a bit rough and the treadmill was a moving target, almost landed on my butt multiple times. Being at sea, there were multiple sea birds soaring in front of the boat to provide the visual element today.

    Sunday – travel back home – no chance to work out at all

    Monday – Legs still sore from the long run on Friday. Hit the treadmill, 1 hr 8 miles with 2 at TP. 

    This is going to be a long week!!! Work works.

  • A little belated with my Day 3 (Sunday) picture.  My run was around 4:00pm - so dark already outside and it was foggy, but my neighboorhood is well lit and not too many cars around, so it wasn't too bad.  It was 18 degrees here on Sunday and I was quite frosted over by the time I was done.  You can sort of see the frost on my headband (it is supposed to be all black, so all the white is the frost); however, you can't tell in the picture, but my eyelashes and eyebrows had frost on them too!
