Champion  23360      Taser-World |  Subject: April Pick Up-to-4 ChallengeApril Pick 4 Challenge It's APRIL! For many of us, the weather is getting warmer and Tri season is almost here. Are you ready for the warm weather? For this challenge, you can set goals in ONE to FOUR activities. You can participate in one activity, or two, or three or four. It's up to you! You define the activities. You set the goals. Only want to swim once? Only want to bike once? YOU decide, and set your goals accordingly. To participate: Sign up on this Google spreadsheet: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An7ZkKfHG1L1dEVQNUxUQTE3OGl... You will need to enter the following information: email address: [email protected] password: challengeforum If you can't access the spreadsheet: Scroll to the bottom, and look at the bottom right corner. If it says, "edit this page," click that link and enter the info above. The ultimate goal of this Challenge is to push yourself in an activity (or activities), to work out, to meet fellow BTers (virtually or otherwise), and to have some fun! Hopefully, this Challenge will give you a little extra incentive and motivation to succeed at your goals – whatever they may be. Welcome to the Challenge! - Dee |

Master 1346 Gold Coast | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge Its on like donkey kong! So this month I need to run and bike more (century ride and marathon coming up) and get back into the pool in advance of my last tri of the season (sob). I think I will leave it at 3 goals, fairly boring s/b/r but its what I need this month. |

Ha ha, yeah, I got a good ride in this morning before work - it was very very dark but nice and quiet at 4.30am. Now I'm in the middle of April fools and wondering if any news story I see is true or a hoax.... |

Master 1623 | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge I'm in  Gonna need to think about goals. I know I want a running goal, a workout dvd/strength training goal, a pushups goal and swimming goal. If something happens to where I can't swim I'll change it to a bike goal but I really need to get back in the water. |

Elite 2640 Ontario, Canada | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge I made it to the first page party! I am in! I'm off to my first run since I visited the Chiropodist last Friday. I decided that I will only do the 1 long run per week so that I can *somewhat* prepare for my half marathon on May 22... I am aware of how bad of an idea this sounds. I need to keep weekly kms low at this time so really my only choices are 1-do a long run weekly and get up to the 21km point, or 2-do two short runs weekly and not be ready for the 21km distance. hopefully by the end of the month I can reintroduce a short run or two. My tendon is still irritated at this time. Today's plan is to run 11km after not having run long distance in over two weeks. I will be doing a slow pace with 5 min run 1 min walk interval. Usually I would do a 10 minute run with one minute walk, or no walk at all. Today I am doing my April goal setting, i will post my Crusher goals after I get them done. |

It works WONDERS for me when my tendonitis acts up, or when I get injured ... my ND also does injections of something called Traumeel right into the injured area, and it really works. I was back running in just 3 weeks after tearing my calf muscle last year. I am also a big fan of the run/walk combo ... no matter my cardio strength, I just can't run more than 8-10 minutes straight anymore without stressing my lower body too much ... walk breaks are a great way to get the distance in without aggravating the owies. |

Veteran 392 Calgary | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge OK goals are set - 12 swim sessions, 11 bike and 11 run sessions. Oh and also yoga - we're gonna try for that again too. I failed miserably at that last month. I'm a BAD yoga teacher. |

I might give accupuncture a try again. My colleague did it on me, but she thought it was a different muscle. I think I might also have to stick to a run walk combo. No problem - as long as I can run! It's funny, I was that girl in gym class that you couldn't get to run, ever. I would walk at a ridiculously slow pace around the track if running was required. Now not only am I a runner, but I'm a kinesiologist and physical education teacher. |

Expert 1163 | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge Ok, I posted some goals! I put swim and strength training goals down on a per-session basis just to make sure to get me into the pool/weight room. I've been bad with both recently. My bike and run goals are based on minutes. |

It's like, an attitude. Like you're going to CRUSH your goals. (Or another team, if we're in teams). I'm going to walk an average of 15 minutes a day, so ... a total of 450 minutes. And swim once a week, so ... 4 times. Wow. I am ill. Blech. But ... walking and swimming is damn good, compared to the alternative, y'know? |

I'm known by my family and offline friends as Missy, but I use Melissa online and professionally. |
