Team Persistent Pumpkins (Page 10)

Wow!  We're dropping :-(  I hope everyone takes care of everything that's going on.  Get better - get well.

 Let's get crackin' ! I'm slowly getting out of the red in swimming. Biking, running, and lifting haven't seemed to be a problem this month.  I will have a few extra opportunities next week to swim so I will take full advantage; however, I plan on being out of the red and above where I should be by the end of the weekend :-)

 I hope everyone is staying on track, if you can.

NICE BIKE KENNY.

I think my bike would have to be female. Not sure spending hours sitting on something male would feel right to me to be honest. So get your suggestions for a name to me.

Janine, you should tell us more (and provide pics) of your "tramping" in the bush. I have never heard of it called this but would be fascinated to see some pics of the scenery where you were.

And to all the other pumpkins who are clinging on to their health, don't worry folks, we can make our goals. It seems like everyone who is behind has a plan to get back on track and has the weekend to help do that. So keep your chins up and we can still have a great finish to our month this week.

As for me I am heading out for and hour or so on the bike (whatever her name is) now and then I have a great getaway evening with my wife to celebrate our anniversary, The place we are going is in the mountains above Santa Fe, NM where we will be staying overnight (sans kids) at a spa with private outdoor hot tubs and then we are going for full body and head and shoulder massages and then back to our little private lodge/room. So with that ahead of me, I am gonna push it a bit harder on the bike today knowing I have an evening of total relaxation ahead.

Hope everyones weekedns are kicking off well.

Have fun out there.......I know I will be!

Good news everyone!

 I'm finally caught up in all three disciplines from the deficit I built up while in China.  It only took about 5 hours in the gym over the past two days.  Good thing I got it done before my recovery week next week and tomorrow is a day off.  You better believe I'm going to take full advantage of the off day to do no working out and rest my legs...

Great!  I'm glad you're caught up :-)  I was supposed to have a rest day myself this week, but I was in the red, and still am, in swimming. I will be trying to get lots of swimming in this week. I tried frontloading most of my workouts this week and will do so next week...I'm basically having two off/easy days since I'm traveling to NH.  Hopefully I will get my swimming up to speed this week.  :-)

 GO PUMPKINS!!!

Hi everyone!  Remember to update your totals in the team spreadsheet before tomorrow morning.

Congratulations, Pumpkins!!! 

WOO HOO!!!! Let's keep us at the tippy top!!!!! Good job Pumpkins!!!!!

 Snuck in another 1650yards in the pool at lunch.  I'm still in the red but working my way out.

I just write 80 in the spreadsheet.  I couldn't figure out how to make it work in the spreadsheet without being way too complicated. 

 THIS IS COOL!!!!.....We are gonna win this!

 I am off out for a run right now. What a motivation!

110% here we come team.....My run deficit will be gone tonight and my bike will be all caught up by tomorrow.

I am soooo ready for a big week to finish the month and be ready for my two races in early May.

 Thanks for the suggestion for the bike name Janine......I like the vampy rock chick idea. I am rock/punk music fan myself and listen to this while on the bike, however I am not sure about Ramona.....any other ideas?
