Where was I at...?

I might want to get used to the never ending cold. I have to admit that every day is a surprise, since every day it seems I have a different cold... Today is the dry coughing stage. I had congestion, tears, congestion, runny nose, sore throat, on day off (so I went swimming and running... how smart!), then back to the runny/congested nose friday...

Week end and dry air did not help so much.

What's tomorrow?

My training is not going so well so far.

Looking back at last week, I missed the 2 spin workouts, one run and one swim... which is what? 2 thirds of what I had planned?

I decided to re-try the same program this week...

Monday was skiing so no swim - I already have to catch up

Tuesday run cancelled too... but did pilates in the evening.

Wednesday: Spin+ transition run 10 min. check

Wednesday night: swim 2000yds : I'm leaving in a few minutes.

Let's see if I can complete the program before Sunday.

Week 1

Today is the first day of my "official training plan" - an 8 week training program based on different books and websites i read and browsed through.
Little problem though: I caught the Grettelbug.
Little Grettel coughed in our face last week. I thought it was funny, but did not realize that Oggy would get that sick. And now it seems to be my turn...

Well anyway, here was the initial plan for this week:
monday: swim 2000yds
tuesday: run 3miles (morning), pilates or yoga (evening)
wednesday: spin (45min) followed by transition run 10min (morning); swim 2000yds (evening)
thursday: run 3 miles (morning); stretch (evening)
friday: spin (45min) followed by transition run 10min (morning); beer (evening)

no long run or long ride over the week-end yet: I will be skiing.

So, I'm starting quite well the training by not swimming today... Hopefully, I won't get as sick as Oggy and Francis, and will be able to catch up quickly...

PS:I got my 2 days of skiing despite the bug... a little bit of tele saturday at Lost Trail on hard packed snow, a little bit more of tele on 2 inches of fresh snow sunday, still at Lost Trail... Not much, but I guess we can't complain about "only 2 inches" this season...

Not too good

at posting these days...
I'll blame it on the lack of snow. I'm in trouble: my goal was to ski more than 32 days these season and I'm now at... 9 days... gloups.
Let's say the winter is a little late. I really have to work on my tele skills, though, so even if the snow is not that great, I should go. I will go.
OK I am going this week end and the one after (let's see: that would add 5 days)... and well I will have to catch up doing lots of spring skiing.
I added the mini me on the site: it comes from the nike+ website and it's supposed to represent my activity level. The more I run, the more agitated it gets. It should help for motivation.
I signed up for the griz tri and I realize that I still really, really suck at running. My heart goes through the roof, and my knees are screaming...
Please, reader(s?), help me becoming a runner (or at least, help me enjoy it...)
It's a little more than 8 weeks from now, so maybe I'll start talking a little bit about it since my ski season is not that great.
