I Run I Bike  I Cook  I Lift  Oh, and I'm also doing the 2013 edition of the ultimate transformations thread. I had one previous (brief) log, which I failed to update as regularly as I should've and ultimately failed. This time around, I'm feeling better organized and have a more solid plan for what I'm doing: Lifts - Cavefish Bike - 8 miles roundtrip commute/day with a decent climb each way. Will work in longer rides once the weather gets halfway decent and not freezing (yes I'm a wimp). Run - Running 5-6 days/week, and working up to 35-40 miles per week. I'll probably do a few races, maybe working towards a half/full marathon. Also catte pictures are always available on request (or whenever I feel like it). Toxx: 190 lbs by 2012/12/31 edit: Should probably put a shorter term toxx in here too, so how about > 400 miles ran by 6/1, and > 1,200 miles cycled. (Are miles tracked through fitocracy instead of an actual gps service okay?) Start Pics: Jan. 1st - 227 pounds   Feb. 1st - 215 pounds

1/4: I'm not sure if I should post my entire workout every day - I think it can sometimes turn logs into long chain posts of the OP endlessly posting workouts, and makes it hard for things to stand out. I was thinking some more like "1/4 - lifting: cavefish arms, running: 4.6 mi @ 7mph, cycling: 8 miles", and then anything else I have to stay about the day. Thoughts?

We're about the same weight, and I suspect I'd be around your shape if I wasn't female - So I am watching this with interest. I'm going to do some conversions and see if I can match your weights on my next workout.

1/5 Easy run today, 4 miles @ 8:57 a mile. More importantly...  I ran outside!I've only been back at it for about 2 weeks, but I've already remembered how much I absolutely hate running on the treadmill. Unfortunately, one of the downsides of living in Seattle is that it's dark when I go to work and dark when I come home from work and I dislike running in the dark even more than I hate the treadmill. I usually lift during my lunch hour, so that's out too. When I do get the chance to run outside (weekend, not miserable weather), it really reminds me why I like running in the first place.

I'm going to do some conversions and see if I can match your weights on my next workout. Hey! Thanks for checking out my log. I found yours, looking good! One thing though, I've actually been at this for a few years, so please don't pick up 30kg dumbbells and try to press them over your head (at least not yet). One thing I've learned from weightlifting is that if you try to move weight that you're not prepared for, it can easily injure you and set you back weeks or months. Also, I think this is without a doubt the worst time of year to start a log (that was almost my thread title), so stick with it! I'm going to look like such a jackass if I do gently caress up and abandon this log....

I remember that there used to be an alcohol & training megathread that came to some good conclusions about the impact of drinking on weight loss. However, it looks like it's been archived and I don't have archives. I've read Martin's perspective on the issue as well as a handful of studies, and they range from saying no impact to destroying recovery and performance the next day. Basically, what I want to know is if drinking 1 or 2 drinks a few times a week is going to have any significant impact on weight loss, if I recognize and accommodate the calories that come with it?

1/6: Shins were feeling a little sore today - nothing worrying, but I decided to go for a ride instead of a run to give them a little break. 19.8 mi in 1:14:51. Slow, but holy poo poo the surface quality of my usual longer ride route has deteriorated since the summer. Between that and being under dressed for the cold, I wasn't feeling too awesome by the end of the ride. Probably going to put longer rides on hold until the weather improves significantly.

I'll compromise by buying some tights and shoe covers, which should help immensely. Also I realized that I suck at date math, and instead of giving myself 6 months for the mileage goals like I intended I actually only gave myself 5. I'm going to keep it as-is though, they're both still 100% achievable if I HTFU a bit.

The first week of starting up a new workout regimen is always easy; you're basically fresh going into every workout and mentally everything is still new and engaging. I think the second week is where people really start to feel the leftover soreness from the past week and thing start to hurt. You can usually push past it for a few days or another week or two, but workouts become more sporadic and you start making excuses, and pretty soon you've completely given up and are back to your old habits. That's definitely what happened with my last log, and with several past attempts at really getting into shape. I'm not sure what's different this time around - maybe just enough experience? - but even though my legs were aching by the time I got home, I still got right off the bike and went straight to the treadmill instead of dicking around for a few hours first. Not only that, but I'm already looking forward to running tomorrow, and sad that I have a rest day scheduled for lifting. It's still definitely incredibly early in this program, and I know that I'm going to have harder days than this, but I still think I'm off to really good start  .Also, I picked up an awesome idea from swyys and brought my kindle to the treadmill and started reading What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. The book is kinda ehh so far, but I definitely like having something to mentally focus on while grinding out the miles.

I've read Lyle McDonald's suggestions on how to do pull downs/pull ups correctly, but I still don't think I'm doing them quite right. Straight back, chest up and forward, shoulders go from shrugged up to shrugged down during the movement, holding a pencil behind my shoulder blades. Even with all that, I still mostly feel the movement in my arms  .Good run though! Longest one I've been on in quite awhile, even if it was glacially slow. I also finished What I talk about when I talk about running, and I thought it was... ok. Mostly, I felt like the book was about learning to cope with growing older and weaker and dealing with burning out after doing the same activity for decades. I got a few decent things out of it, but overall I didn't feel like it was that relevant to where I'm at in my life. Next up is Never Let Go, which is entertaining in a "wow, this guy's kinda nuts" sort of way so far.

Haha, now THAT would be quite the book to read while running. I'm actually really surprised at how good of running shape I'm in, considering that the last time I ran at all was late August. I keep expecting to start getting aches or pains in my legs from the rapid ramp up in mileage, but so far so good. I guess that 8 miles a day on the bike keeps you in decent cardio shape?

On that note, goddamn does ramping up the incline just a little bit make treadmill running harder. Still, it feels really good to just zone out for 25 minutes after a long day at work. I think that lifting at lunch and running afterwards is really doing a lot to help my mental state and productivity at work  .

1/12 Running: - 1:01:00 || 6.6 mi Nice long run day with some decent hills, on an actually gorgeous (and freezing) day. I felt really strong through the whole run and definitely could have kept it up for a while longer, but decided against it since I've been noticing a little soreness creeping into my shins and ends of my feet since yesterday. Cycling tights + shoe covers should be here today, which is going to make commuting and riding on the weekends soooo much better. I actually rode to work in jeans on Friday even though I really hate wearing jeans on a bicycle, just to give me a little extra bit of warmth.

1/13 So it turns out my cold weather gear didn't actually arrive yesterday - the tracking status on FedEx's site says "Arrived as U.S. Post Office", so I'm guessing that they use the USPS to actually do the delivery? That also probably means the chances of them delivering it today are pretty minimal. Anyways, I don't want a repeat of last weekend's ride and I also haven't taken a full rest day for awhile now, so I'm just going to take it easy today.

I think I could've busted out a few more squats, but without a spotter and form starting to get shaky I didn't want to push it (p. sure the rest of the workout made up for it). I'm hoping to get my squat back up to 315 for at least a few reps within a month or two - my mind remembers how to be strong, but the body still needs some work to get back into the groove. Also, cold weather gear arrived ! As long as the weather doesn't do anything too crazy, I'm going to put it to the test on a decent-length ride this weekend.

Also for as much poo poo as personal trainers get around here, I overheard a pretty awesome one today at Gold's. He was having his client do some seated DB presses, and once they finished up he said "Well, we moved up the reps a little bit, but the weight stayed the same. We expect better results out of 3 weeks - this isn't half-rear end it gym. Work harder!" (it totally is half-rear end it gym, but no one's telling this dude that, he's like 6'4 and massive) Definitely would want that dude as a trainer if I had any interest or the finances for a personal trainer

I had some pain starting to crop up in my left foot towards the end of my run, so I cut it a little bit shorter than I was planning to. Hopefully I just tied my shoes too tight or took a weird step or something, but I'll have to keep an eye on it for the next few days. Also for anyone who rides in the cold, having a full set of cold weather gear is amazing. I wouldn't say I felt warm this morning, but I was way more comfortable today than I have been since like November.

It was pretty sore all day and was making walking a little bit challenging, so I'm going to take it easy on the running for the next few days until I'm sure that it's better. Since running is a no-go at the moment, I gave the elliptical a shot... I don't really get elliptical trainers. Something about the motion or the bouncy-ness of them throws me off, I dunno. I tried the aerobic workout setting, but all that seemed to do was steadily ramp up the resistance until it was maxed out and I was only doing about 45 rpm. Even at that level, I still had a hard time getting my heart rate above 155 or so. On the plus side, according to the machine I was burning 2.5k calories/hour  . I gave up on the aerobic setting after about 15 minutes since it was making my back and knees hurt and switched back to a normal setting, but even that felt dumb and then someone came in and I couldn't bear the shame anymore. I really wish my apartment building would get a rowing machine or two...

CRAWWWWLLLING INNNNN MY SKINNNNNNN
|
So a Thing happened today:     I was in the bike lane doing about 20 down a pretty steep hill when someone turned across the road into a driveway from the opposite direction. I had roughly enough time to grab my brakes as hard as I could and scream gently caress before I hit - I think my bike hit the hood and launched me over the car, though I'm not 100% certain. I'm extremely fortunate that nothing is broken (other than the bike), just 9 stitches on my chin and a hell of a black eye/cheek gash. This isn't going to put me off from bike commuting (at least once I get a new bike), but I'm definitely going to be buying a more powerful front light. I don't know that it would've helped in this case, but the expense is small compared to the potential benefit that it just doesn't make sense not to.

It was kinda hard to tell if I had done any damage to the car - it already had a few good sized dents in it and the hood was held down with a bungee cord. Judging by the state of my bike afterwards, I hit pretty drat hard. Luckily there was quite a few bystanders, one of whom called 911 and got the paramedics and cops out right away. There's a full police report filed and all, but I left for the hospital before the lady driving the car left, so I'm not sure what happened to the car. I get to call her tomorrow and start dealing with her insurance, which I'm sure is going to be nothing but good times .

Yea, considering the state of the bike I'm amazed that I didn't break anything (the doc was almost positive I had broken my cheekbone until he saw the x-rays). The bike itself is completely trashed - the down tube broke off at the head tube, the top tube broke off at the seat tube, and the top tube bent in the middle to like 60 degrees. I can't imagine the front wheel is in great shape either, but that's just what I noticed at the scene of the accident. I'll take some better pictures of the carnage once I get a chance.

1/18 Nothing today, taking a few days off from everything to give myself a chance to heal up a bit.

drat man, that accident sucks. I feel really lucky I've never had a collision. What kind of bike are you looking at as a replacement?
