CARROLLTON – Walk into a gym after work and you’ll no doubt see people huffing and puffing as they push themselves to the limit. Most of those people aren’t burning much fat.  If you want to lose weight and burn more fat when working out, take a tip from endurance athletes – slow down. It’s that simple. If you’re an overweight couch potato or a mom, who gets in a couple workouts a week, you can …

Trainer Workouts with a Pro at…

December 8, 2009

I did the Trainer ride with a Pro tonight at Inside Out Sports in Cary.   The store sponsors these workouts (almost) every Tuesday evening at 6:30 pm.  They are free – you just have to bring your own bike and your own trainer.   It was great killer workout, and I plan on doing this every Tuesday evening.  My  new job is five minutes from Inside Out Sports. Tonight’s workout was led by local pro triathlete, Alex McDonald. Since I get off work at 5, and the workout starts at 6:30, I was the first one to arrive for the workout.  Alex is a member of Team Timex, and he had some free schwag for the first one to arrive.  That was me!   How lucky is that.  I got a brand new Timex Sleek 150 lap tap technology watch.  It’s very slim design and I am wearing it right now as I type. I love it so far – very sleek and comfortable! I asked him if he would take my picture so I could tweet about my prize.  (Click any image below to enlarge.) I tweeted: “won timex ironman tap watch cuz i was first to arrive at @alexmmtri spin class” The first thing we did after the warmup was isolated leg drills. That is where you unclip one leg and only spin with the other leg.   We did alot of those, and I hated them.  But that means they were good for me. Alex let me tweet a picture of him.  I twote: “single leg drill at ios with @alexmmtri “. The middle part of the workout were three tempo sets. I love those. I am very good at steady eddie riding.   Then we did some super spins.  Hate, hate, hated those!  But again, if you hate a workout, it means it is good. After the workout, Alex let us all try a Recovery drink called Ultragen made by First Endurance. It was really good tasting. Not too sweet like most similar products. I was very impressed. I tweeted: “free first endurance recovery drink from @alexmmtri yum ” One last picture for you to enjoy: Tweet: “at IOS – look at the P4’s!” …if you found this post inspiring, please help fight Hunger by supporting the Gatorade G Movement!

Nirvana

November 1, 2009

I had a really bad day today.  Four bad things happened.   I must be in a state of Nirvana because none of these things are bothering me.  Mentally, I feel very relaxed and at ease. Had  a bad run.  I enjoyed the run.    I felt like I was running well with fast feet while still going easy and holding back .   But every time I looked at my Garmin  it was showing a pace of greater than 10min/mile.  I wondered if the heavy cloud cover affected the accuracy of the GPS.   When I got home, I plotted the course out on my BT account, and it showed the same distance and pace.  Crud.   Not worried, tho.  My fast feet are just waiting for race day. In my rush to get out the door for my run, I grabbed any old pair of socks.   Stupid move!  When I got home, I had a very bloody blister on my left heel.  I put some Aquaphor and a band-aid on it.  Feels okay.    I am not the least bit worried about it.  It will heal up in time. When I got home from running, I noticed my teenage daughter’s car was not in the driveway.  Yet, I remember her coming in the door late at night.   That was weird.   I knocked on her door and asked “where is the blue car?”  She broke down in tears and said she crashed it into a guardrail after hydroplaning on the wet roads.   Thankfully, nobody got hurt.   The car has a nice big dent in the side and needs a new tire.  Could have been ALOT worse.   This is not stressing me out either. I’ve been having shooting sciatica pains all day.   Not worried about that either.   I always get new weird pains during my taper.  I think it’s my body just healing stuff that I didn’t even know was hurting me.  That’s what I’m telling myself. I am very thankful to be in such a positive mood despite all these stressors.  It sure beats crying because it’s a sunny day ! My plan for the week is to do lots and lots of Rodney Yee’s “Yoga Conditioning for Athletes” DVD.   I did that every day leading up to Duke 1/2.  Flexibility = Free speed.  I’ll take it. While driving home from picking up the blue car, I was listening to the radio.  The DJ was talking about the band, Nirvana.   He said that Kurt Cobain was inspired to write the song “ Smells Like Teen Spirit ” when a rival painted graffiti on the wall: “Kurt smells like Teen Spirit”.   Teen Spirit being the deodorant made for teenage girls.    I always wondered what that lyric meant.   Love that song… Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana – New Music – More Music Videos Check it out : Amazon.com …Workouts in a Binder : Swim Workouts for Triathletes …if you found this post inspiring, buy me a coffee!
