Ground Pounders Team Thread - Nov USMC Challenge (Page 10)

Sorry about your week, but congrats on still getting your 5 days in! Hope you heal fast from your tumble

Yes! Because my 30 mins of soccer counts too

Nice bike ride   Its supposed to be nice all week too... 50s and 60s.

Good for you Scott!

I had my 2nd swim lesson today and have some new stuff to work on and some more of the same.  Mostly need to get my runner's ankles loosened up.  Doing 10x100s w/ fins should help with that and with strengthening my knee.  fun fun

I want to be outside, not in my office!!!

Dang.  Still stuck in third place.  We'll just have to keep pounding for two more weeks.  I'm sure we can overtake those other teams!

I've barely gotten in my numbers, but I'm meeting the minimum. I may have to pull out of the challenge this week unless I start logging serious time on crutches. I get word on if I can swim on Wed. If I can't aquajog or swim laps, then I'm going to pull out (this will not penalize the team). If I can, then the challenge will continue!

I can't do pushups or situps or anything like that. And I can't do bicep and tricep dumbell work 5 days a week for 30 min. Curls and kick backs may be the only thing I can do right now.

CRUTCHES!  That was a heck of a tumble -- twisted ankle?  Hope the dr. will let you swim laps at least.  You can use a pull buoy and not kick maybe.  Take care and heal fast!

Day 1 of Jorge's bike plan -- wow.  Hope I can walk later.

Keep up the good work everyone!!

Fracture and sprain. I find out my sentence tomorrow. I'm hoping for a plastic boot so I can still get to the pool. If not, then I'll be pulling out of the challenge.

Comet sorry about all the issues, keep us pisted!!

I trained yesterday and today, just did not post.  I will go update now! 

I was going to start that plan today too, but it was too nice.  Went into work early and got out and on the bike by 3:30.  Did a nice 1:40 !!!  Snow Thursday right

I would have rather been outside too I like Jorge's program so far.  At least it gives me some structure on the trainer!

Ah! I'm sorry that you are injured   I hope you get the go ahead for pool workouts from the doc.

I'm doing jorge's plan outside. It's harder to be consistent with the interval given all the variables outside, but still got a good workout. I'm staying off the trainer as long as possible

I hate the trainer...a.k.a. "the drainer" 

I have to do the wo on the trainer because I'm looking at my notes and my watch and at the ground when I'm dying and not where I'm going   Q2 tomorrow for me!

Happy Hump Day, GPs!

I managed to grind out some milage on the treadmill this evening.  I even threw in a little ab work.

I'm thinking tomorrow I'll get in a swim.  Now that I've gotten back in the pool habit, I start jonesing for the smell of chlorine.

Did Jorge's Q2 this morning on the trainer.  I missed 2 repeats due to garmin user error, but it hurt nonetheless

KIU GPs!!

60 min run and 30 min strength training this morning

Got my 40 minute Q2 in tonight after the kids were in bed and some surfing for motivation.

Lets go team

Happy Saturday everyone!  What's on tap? 

I am either going out for a ride this morning or doing Jorge's Q3 during the boys nap time...
