Hey Cat...Sorry I am not swimming with you guys this month but I am still watching the threads and keeping up with the **Wild Hippos**

Work hard this month and know that you have a **cheerleader** back in the states pulling for you....and yes, as noted on another thread, I MIGHT be persuaded to don a short skirt and do a cheer....thank God I don't have a web-cam

Finding it hard to type from all of the push-ups and sit-ups I have done this week. Arms are shaking

Good news this week though...The group that I am involved with to do a race next spring won an award in the Atlanta paper for getting a group together to start training. The group is centered mainly on the training for fitness but the goal is to compete in a beginner short sprint in late May. The group is now at 102 people And we only started in early September.

We have folks from 10 years old to 80

I am so proud of some of these non-athletic people who have started training for this and some who will kick my a$$ next year if I don't watch out...That is why I have stepped my training up some but I can't get into the pool until January.

remember....once a **Wild Hippo**....Always a **Crazy Fat A$$**

Hmmmm... where's Suwanee?  Where does your group train?  Do you have any kid-specific training going on?

This thread grows faster than the Thread About Nothing.

Anyways, I swam again this morning.  I can't really run or bike due to the taper, but I figure I can swim.  So I hit the pool this morn for slightly over an hour.  

So I've knocked out 60% of my goal and it's only Dec 7th.  I may raise my goal, but I'm waiting to see how much I'll be out of town at the end of the month.

Hi guys,  so it's been a LONG time since I've swum regularly - I did masters in January, and then I swam once in April and once in June.  Then a little bit last week before the challenge started (2x).

Yesterday, I swam 1300 yards, and today I FEEL SORE!  Just a little bit in my triceps.  Ack!   Hahahaha, I guess that means I should get my arse back in the pool and just keep swimming!  At the very least I should be able to knock out 2K and feel fine the next day .

I swim in a local school pool though, and it has very limited hours and days that it's open.  I won't be swimming again until next week, because I have a 5k this weekend!  I am trying to be a better runner first and foremost, for the time being, and just getting back into the swing of swimming so I can kick it up just before next season starts.

Anyway, Dee and Cat, with your supa-high volumes, I salute you!  Then there's me, who is sore after 1.3K....heh

I is sore, too!

Good luck in the 5k!

Work hard this month and know that you have a **cheerleader** back in the states pulling for you....and yes, as noted on another thread, I MIGHT be persuaded to don a short skirt and do a cheer....thank God I don't have a web-cam

Oh wow. Here I was, ready to tell you that Cheerleaders must post "motivational pics" to inspire us.... When I see that you're already planning one for us.....

Cat - I see you trained your team well last month! LOL
