Fitness accountability thread?

21 degrees here last night, but at least I got done before the snow hit. 8 miles with 40 lbs on at an 11.5 min/mi average pace. I've gone four months in training without an issue, and now a WEEK BEFORE THE MATCH I'm getting blisters popping up all over. This happened last year too - I'm pretty sure someone's laughing at me.

Wow. Thats a good run with a lot of weight. Nicely done.

I always love cold and wet - not. It wasnt too bad though.
Yellow trail is pretty dry. Just a few slightly greasy spots.

Did you start from the upper parking lot?

No, I ran up lipbuster, then crossed over to pink. Got finished about 5pm, right before drizzle got heavy. Pink still has some really bad spots.

I plan to ride my bicycle 150 miles over two days in April. Feel free to donate to support a worthy cause:

I will be riding 46 miles on Saturday and 75 miles on Mar 13th with other smaller rides mixed in to prepare for the MS150.

I'm a big fan of this stuff to help protect against blisters and chafing: http://www.amazon.com/DZ-Nuts-Viscosity-Chamois-Cream/dp/B004DR7HWA

Vaseline works well also, but it's also messy and stains, if that bothers you.

Thanks! Does it work on feet too? Or will putting it on my nutz keep blisters off my feet? ;-)

It absolutely works on the feet, that's primarily where I use it.

Wow. Matt that is kicking butt, great job. My goal is to do a 3 mi with 25lbs tonight & Saturday holding a 10:30 to 11:30 pace.

Go man, go! I've got four more runs to get in before the match. I've got to make them count...

You know, I started the thread I guess I should check in....

Been a bit behind on a lot of my workouts, health issues off and on and now an ingrown toenail that's infected...

Have to get back to lifting, been trying to walk and run. More than anything I have been focusing on my diet. Down 15 pounds or so since Christmas.
