Champion 23360  Taser-World | Subject: RE: They Who Shall Not be Named! Happy Saturday! Tomorrow is SUNDAY, the day when you report your achievements for the beginning of November! While posting your “progress report” on your team thread, feel free to brag about how great your workouts have been! This challenge is about achieving your goals -- so let's hear how you've done! And now, here’s a quick update on what all our teams have been up to…. The Moscateers – Team1 The youngsters are showing up their parents! Comet_the_dog ran with his daughter, Dani – and lost. Congratulations to Dani, who did a 5k in just over 38 minutes! And 1for1’s daughter, Gidgetintraining, is already at 41% of her running goal and 50% of her workout goal! Go kids! The Vigilantes – Team2 This team has a lot of “firsts” planned for this weekend! ScotinSeattle and Medusa_Ann are doing a 10k trail run this weekend! It’s their first 10k. And Fielding will be doing her very first race this weekend! Unfortunately, they had to cancel the swim portion, due to an oil spill. Good luck everyone! You’ll do great! Turkey Terrors – Team3 Running is the topic of the day for this team. Some of it is even being done barefoot! Gygyhawk had a fantastic response to her trainer’s comment that her metabolism was low. But you’ll have to stop by this team’s thread to read it! 5 For Fighting – Team5 After training hard, this team likes to kick back with a glass of wine. Or beer. Or maybe even both…. To make sure there is no confusion as to which beverage is preferred, this team posts pics of their favorite post-workout cocktail. Someday, they hope to start a wine mail-order business.  They Who Shall Not Be Named (Twisnibbins) – Team6 This group posts so much that their team leader, LastCall2003 (Beth) must now post daily updates to summarize the discussion! Believe it or not, this group actually discussed running AND swimming this week! (Who knows, maybe cycling is next?) HCS5QA (Hector) will be running his first Half Marathon on Sunday! Run, Hector, run! To help inspire Hector, team leader Beth will be waving her pom poms! Wild Hippos – Team7 Several members of the Hippos have been benched due to illness. Owl_girl wants to know if puking time counts as “ab work.” (We now know more about her illness than we really wanted to!) Team Leader Cat received a penalty flag for inappropriate language, and had to state three positive things about herself. Is Lyssa-gator slacking off? We’ll find out soon, depending upon whether she accepts Baowolf’s challenge of doing a 34 mile bike ride with him. Hard Core Tri Corps – Team8 Zipp1 ran an awesome 8k race today. ACGRAY22 joined the team, becoming the 102nd person in the challenge. TriAya (Yanti) told us about her progress to date – including details of her 100+ pound weight loss, and posting some absolutely incredible pics of her HOT TRI BODY! If you want to be inspired, you need to stop by this team’s thread and see Yanti’s transformation into a “tri hottie”! Amazing! From BT News Headquarters, this has been your weekly Challenge update.

Champion 26509 Sydney | Subject: RE: They Who Shall Not be Named! tnickerson - 2007-11-10 10:35 PM kaqphin - 2007-11-09 11:27 PM D001 - 2007-11-10 10:59 AM HCS5QA - 2007-11-09 1:49 PM Thanks Sparko, Stretching has really become such a major part of my training. More so then i ever thought it would be, so thanks for the additional info. OK.... As someone who doesn't stretch at all.... Why stretch? Does it help with post workout soreness? (That's the only thing I can think of. So maybe I've never worked out hard enough to need to do this. LOL)
Stretching: When you work out and muscles get put under stress one of their reactions is to tigthen... after awhile they dont loosen up as much and stay tight.... This will pull body parts out of alignment and cause injuries.... because other muscles will start to compensate for the tight muscles and it will affect how you move. Also if muscles are held in a certain position (ie high heels) over time they will tighten to fit the position they are used to... Stretching keeps the muscles supple and your body in good alignement (among other things) and Im sure someone who understands all this better than me will explain it beter That's an excellent explanation Cat. One thing I will add is to be careful not to overstretch. Overstretching is just as bad as not stretching at all. I had to skip two workouts this week because I was trying to stretch my body to places it's never been and made my muscles VERY unhappy. Stretching is important, but it's supposed to feel good, not hurt. I know. duh. haha well you should FEEL it so it should feel like you are working against the pressure of the muscle but itshouldnt hurt... Each stretch shoulkd be held for a minimum of 20-30 seconds if the muscle starts to loosen before then breath in and when you breathe out stretch it a little further... |

In other words.... I need to learn how to stretch my shoulder muscles.
This will pull body parts out of alignment and cause injuries.... because other muscles will start to compensate for the tight muscles and it will affect how you move.

Stretching keeps the muscles supple and your body in good alignement (among other things) and Im sure someone who understands all this better than me will explain it beter And the surrounding muscles becuase the original pain might not be caused by the shoulder but another muscle that is tight and not functioning properly... |

Master 1397 Granvile, Ohio | Subject: RE: They Who Shall Not be Named! lastcall2003 - 2007-11-10 6:05 PM Glad you had a good swim today. Love it when things start coming together. Mine, not so great. Had a tough time relaxing, and that is key for me. Several clients and lots of kids in the pool area distracted me. If I'm tense and stiff, can't seem to get a flow going. Someone taught me a trick to relax, but I didn't think of it until I was almost finished. Instead of trying to think of everything at once, focus on one arm at a time. Stretching the arm out until you feel your lats stretch out. It's a great way to not get overwhelmed and really allow yourself to balance and rotate in the pool like you should.tnickerson - 2007-11-10 7:27 AM This seems like a good time to cut out and actually go swim.

Kendra! how was your trip?! fabulous, I am sure - you must tell us all about it The trip was fabulous. Got all my swimming in for the month and even did a little running so I'm not too far behind there. The weather was beautiful. A little on the cool side, but sunny and way warmer than home. Snorkeled, sat by the beach, tried to run on the beach and felt like I was running in slow motion. Once I download my pictures, I'll post a couple. I feel fabulously relaxed. It was a much needed vacation. |
