Extreme Veteran 503 Central Iowa | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it In spreadsheet terms, my goal is to do 13 run workouts in September. Specifically, my goal is this…Sept 1-4: Do week 2 workout on Wednesday and week 3 workout on Friday. Sept 5-11: Do week 4 on M/W/F. Sept 12-18: Do week 5 on M/W/F. Sept 19-25: Do week 6 on M/W/F. Sept 26-30: Do the week 7 work out on Monday and Wednesday.
So far, I am meeting my goals. The first week went exactly as scripted. Monday the 6th I was out doing the week 4 workout when lightning approached. Cut the route short and only did 2 of the runs, but the rain and increasing wind told me I made the right decision. As I will be doing week 4 again on Wed and Fri, I say that I am “consciously training for a 5K later this fall using the coolrunning.com Couch to 5K plan.” |

Good luck! |

Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it Hi Kids - I've been busy with work and such so I didn't get a chance to post earlier. I have decided, since I don't seem to be able to focus - that my focus will be a calorie burn. considering my trial schedule and other activities, it is fairly lofty, and I only started last night! sorry about that. I am hoping to do a Duathlon on 9/25 (2 days before my anniversary -- 7 years, thankyouverymuch) which is a 2/20/2. I used to do brick workouts regularly, but haven't for awhile so I am concerned. All else fails, there is another in October. I love to ride - I'm just not fast. (not a fast runner either, anymore - distance training seemed to ruin that) Well, enough babbling - back to work. ps - if I need to change my goal as it is inappropriate, please let me know. Thanks |

Extreme Veteran 503 Central Iowa | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it Hello again! I woke up with the nastiest sinus headache. After some Sudafed, some acetaminophen, some coffee, and some time, I was feeling better... but late for work. Since I was late for work anyway, I decided to run from home, then shower, then dress and go to work. Normally I would have run on my lunch hour. Important point: I ran today! No excuses. |

Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it had intentions of doing a good workout last night - but I got home and changed and my wife tells me supper is ready in 15 minutes. Well, that won't work, so eat and workout later. Planned was a 2 mile run and then bike. Run went well - a little slower than I wanted - but I will get that speed up. By the time I got on the bike - it was really dark - I live in the boonies - no streetlights - so I had to watch speed (due to headlamp not really showing the way) Did get a decent calorie burn though. I've got a lot of catching up to do. I'm thinking on Sat. I may do a 9 mile run followed by a 11 mile bike. (My own little tribute) Anyone else doing anything special for "Patriot Day"? |

Elite 3913 far northern CA | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it Hey Yanti. The spreadsheet is a little confused. My percentage should be equal to the percentage of the month since I'm doing a session every day. Why is it different? Can you check it out? |

Elite 3913 far northern CA | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it I've been doing good with running at least 1 mile every day! I'm starting to feel like it is a habit that I can continue for the long-term. How is everyone else doing? |

Here I am. Here I am. Sorry for the slow start, but I don't usually let my teams down (completely). I do realize I have taken "non-chatty" to a new level. I have put my goal and the miles completed on the spreadsheet. The total is a little low, but that's because of the Labor Day Weekend. I need help getting the formula for percent completed. My focus is biking. My original thought of 450 miles seems unlikely so I have changed it to 300. I've gotten in about 36 miles so far this month, so I am behind, but I have a long ride planned for Tuesday and then each of the remaining weekends in September. Assuming I get in between 60-100 miles on each of those rides (plus the other shorter rides), my 300 miles seems doable. Now I am going to read all the posts and get caught up on what everyone else is doing. |

Expert 1773 San Gabriel Valley, California | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it Oops. I posted on the wrong spreadsheet. Now I'm on the right one and the percentage was there. |

Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it I did not get as much exercise in this weekend as I wanted. I hope to make up for it this week. I'll start doing some doubles. |

I hope to make up for it this week. I'll start doing some doubles. I hear you. My challenge is only biking so I can't really do doubles to make it up. Just gotta get in a really long ride on Saturday. |

Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it I just updated the sheet. Wow. I am really the slacker in this group. I'm sorry. I'll see if I can get a few bricks in. Those are usually good 1000 cal. plus burns. need to do them anyway if I am going to be competitive in this Duathlon coming up. |

Expert 1773 San Gabriel Valley, California | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it I'm also still behind schedule, but have a long ride planned for Saturday (hoping for 80+) and that will get me closer to being on track. |

Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it This is pretty quiet group. I'm slowly climbing up the sheet. I checked the other team - they are doing just as, if not more poorly. |

Extreme Veteran 503 Central Iowa | Subject: RE: September FOCUS Team In-it-to-WIN-it I, too, have taken non-chatty to a new level. LOL But I haven't missed a single one of my C25K workouts! Whoo-hoo! Happy Dance! I even did the run for 20 minutes straight one today! I got the spreadsheet updated, also. |
