Two Things Tri Tuesday
1. I got my new training program for the month. YES! I didn't realize how much I need the program/structure to keep me going and give me focus for these next few months. But the BIG thing now is...I need to follow up on my end and is fill out the dang feedback form (above) more consistently. Doesn't it look like a joy? The 3 vertical sections are for swim, bike, run, and the horizontal rows are for each day. He'd also like to know my daily weight, resting hr, cadence, heart rate, kids social security numbers...you get the gist. So it's own my radar to do daily this week.
2. It's shining over here again. YES! Here's the backyard 20 minutes ago. This weather will make any workout worth it in my book:
Just wondering, how/what do you use for training log/feedback form? And do you like it? I'm slowly gettin' back in the groove baby. Hope it's sunny in your land today

1. a Word calendar document - here I can note more things such as how I felt, if I worked out in the AM/PM, stars for at the gym (to get my health care refund), and if I were sick or traveling.
2. I made a spread sheet in Excel... it's much cleaner and easy to read.
One might say I am obsessed. I would like to find a journal to keep track of these things as well - more room to note how I was feeling and such. :)
Glad its sunny where you are! Its sunny here too for now but storms coming tonight!
I blog all of my workouts so I get feedback from fellow bloggers and I can easily go back and check on progress, keep track of my goals. For my half marathon I've been following a program but exactly as I've had to modify it to allow for my current mileage.
If you have time to fit it in, check out my core challenge that I've just posted, it should be fun and there's a small prize up for grabs at the end :)
Now go and enjoy your amazing weather :)
I use my FIRST book for my plan but used to put my actual mileage/feedback on a regular calendar until I went digital can you believe it's 2 years almost?
Since then I don't have a system I really like. I should look into downloading an 'app' aren't I so happening? ;) I did finally get on DailyMile too.
BTW, I ran with the tempo trainer this PM on my brick run. Made it easy to hit a cadence of 90. Too bad a cadence of 90 did not seem easy. But I guess it will eventually.
I have been using the Grandma's half training schedule that they e-mailed me. It is not as fancy as yours:) It is nice to have an idea of how far and what type of tempo they suggest for each run. I don't swim or bike yet so my schedule would be much different than yours. Have a great day Anne Marie:)
As for logging, I have been using RunningAhead for years. It is a free online tool that allows you to track all kinds of exercise and as a bonus has a wonderful running community. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Those lifts totally are deceiving... I think I'm going to go back to the old faithful heavy lunges! At least the lunges don't interfere with my other stuff!
