I am house sitting in Seattle until January 12th, so I brought the trainer down here with me to ride in nice open living room. Well, that didn't work too well. I am also dog sitting and the dog is a scardy-cat and sunk his head, threw his tail between his legs and ran off whimpering when I got on the trainer this morning. Guess I won't be riding it until after the 12th... I've never seen a dog so scared before. I know it came from a rough background, but wow. I took it for a walk and we happened to walk by one of those blow up Santas and the dog had the same reaction to the Santa as it did the trainer. Weird.
Anyway, keeping my running up for the most part. Trying to get more than 20 miles per week. Really just trying to run enough to burn off the cookie/sweet calories I'm consuming. I'm trying to not feel guilty about the sweets anymore cause then I just feel, well, guilty. So I just eat, then I run.
How are your Holiday workouts going??
My workouts would be better with a trainer like that! It's on my list. Happy Training!
ReplyDeletePoor dog!! We have a dog that refuses to be photographed. Go figure.
ReplyDeletemy workouts haven't been that great this past week because of my cold :( but hopefully i can heal up here quickly and get back to the gym. I've been doing walk/run intervals on the treadmill (no one wants to run with me outside--and i really don't like running in the dark mornings/evenings alone.) anyway i'm getting a *little bit* more stamina with my running! part of my routine has me doing 9 mph sprints (only for 30 seconds, but still) anyway, that part makes me want to die hee hee
ReplyDeletemy holiday workouts have been cold! mostly because it's cold outside and i haven't jumped from the run-outside ship. bummer that you won't get any serious action on the trainer for awhile. it seems like a really great way to get those workouts in
ReplyDeleteI have a CycleOps, but find that I don't use it much because we have such great weather here in AZ. I am actually trying to sell it now. But they work great and I would really want it in the NW. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI also have a Cycleops and I love it! If you get some spinervals that will make it even better!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad about the puppy!
Merry Christmas!
I asked for that same trainer for Christmas! Pretty sure hubs got it for me too :) Too bad the poor dog is so scared of it!! My workouts have been blah lately because I'm taking time off from running to heal my plantar fascitis and all I want to do is run!
ReplyDeleteMy dog is super scared of the vacuum cleaner...well...that's my excuse anyway ;-)
ReplyDeleteA bike trainer is on my Christmas list, too!
