Totally resting today, some stretching, but Saturday, placed 4th in the Bjornloppet (Bear Valley race) 20k skate, and 4th again yesterday in the 10k classic. This weekend is the big marathon, the Gold Rush, 45k skate at Royal Gorge, so this week will be pretty chill, some speed work and a short interval workout, and lots of rest.

I love p90x; my 2 favs are plyo and kenpo. I especially like the yelling part!

Jaybro,
great idea tracking progress here, it always motivates me to report my workouts.

On a related note, how many marathoners are here? How many have you done?
I'm at 8, I won't tell you my times...

I've done five or six marathons, two as part of triathlons. None very fast, although I did a 38:40 10 km once, BITGOD when p'terodactyls nested on the Chief.

Going to get up any minute for a jog. Probably slower than I should, but
will shoot for the long-way... about an hour.

Any of you folks take and/or chart your resting heart rate when you wake up?

I did it almost everyday during several training cycles back in 2003-2006, when I was actually doing a fair amount of aerobic work (primarily biking). And it was very useful to see how well you were recovering and to tweak your schedule and workouts. Seeing it graphically, on month-long charts was cool. I photocopied some month long grids with HR on the vert axis from a triathlon training book I've got.

Now I'm curious if I even still have those charts from back then. A normal RHR for me back then was about 40-45. After a heavy training day and/or not enough sleep or too much beer, it would be mid to high 50s. Anything about 6 beats above my normal, fully recovered baseline for that point in time, I'd alter the next workout and if 10 or more above I'd cut the workout way back (essentially a short low intensity "recovery ride") or cut it completely.

Lately RHR is around 50, which was one of the things that prompted me to start back up with the aerobic work.

18 aerobics classes (30 min. each) in last 3 weeks
Turned 59 on Sat.
33 mile road ride on new bike Sunday (Cannondale Synapse)
Laugh everytime the instructer says check your pulse - lets see if I divide the atrial rate of 300 + by the ventricular rate of 140 = 2.14 :)
Looking forward to some mountain biking.
On a side note some climber friends from Chattanooga e-mailed me they recently rode the new trails built by Volkswagen at their Chattanooga plant and said they are awesome. Quote "Those germans know how to build a mountain bike trail"

In a more serious vein, I did 4 sets of abdominal crunches on the crunch machine in a pyramid: 25 crunches at 80#, 20 at 90#, 18 at 100#, qnd 12 at 110#. Then on to the leg press and 2 sets of 15 at 90#; 2 sets of leg extensions of 15 reps at 75#, and 2 sets of low pulley rows, followed by oblique abdominal machine, upright rowing, leg curls, bench press, and flyes. Then... Well, I don't spare myself while training to rock climb. I then came home and took a small afternoon walk of about a mile. Not too bad, at 72. I'm not even tired but am a bit sore. Tomorrow I just take a long walk on the ranch after unrolling a big round hay bale by hand. Then Thursday and Saturday back to the health club.

Berthoud Pass this afternoon, four powder laps between Stanley Mt. & School of Mines Peak about 3,956 elevation gain.

Then had to stop in Empire for some chocolaty covered bacon and beer so maybe the day is a wash.
