I'm caught up now... and it looks like I have been talking to myself all morning LOL! Oh well.

I had dreams about swimming last night... I'm really excited to have finally got myself into the water.

Did I see that next month is a swim challenge? That would be awesome for me to really focus on my swim for December. After that my century training starts the last week of December and then in January my half-marathon training starts.

Going to go for a run today, 3 miles should be good. I'm going to wait until it warms up some though. It's 37 degrees (feels like 31 with wind chill) right now, but is supposed to get up to the mid-50's.

How do I do the reporting? That is today right? Do I just post it within this thread, do I send it to someone?

Good morning. I guess if we aren't on late at night sometimes we do feel like we are talking to ourselves. I'll do a little bit of that now.

Last month we posted in the thread, and I think our team captain would pop out and check our logs. So I'll be posting mine here.

What about a massage person? You dont need a referral for that do you? or a personal trainer?



Could do massage.

As for the trainers, um, I've met them. Um. Around here, pretty much anyone who works for the gym, calls themselves a "trainer."


One of my friends who used to be a PT said that many PT do what they can to make sure you feel like you *need* them so they can keep making money. Hopefully there are some good ones out there, but that is kinda discouraging to hear it straight from someone who used to be one.




When I think of a PT I think of physical therapist, instead of a personal trainer. I agree that the therapist is the way to go. A couple of years ago I thought I was going to need surgery on my shoulder, but the PT worked on me and my shoulder is great now. I have stretches that I need to do and strength training which helps a lot. I got out of doing them once the shoulder was better, but now that I'm swimming again, I am doing the ones that I can remember so that I can hopefully avoid having a problem with the shoulder again.

So go see your doctor and get the referral to a Physical Therapist. Well worth it if it will keep you from making the shoulder worse. Don't put it off. My uncle had problems with his elbow, refused to go to the doctor and by the time he finally went, it was too late and he is unable to straighten that arm out. Don't wait (says the voice of doom and gloom).

Remind me to ask Atlantia or Beth how the weight loss forums challenges work.. Ive been waiting for AGES to see a new challenge but its like they are all going forever and ever and never stop... so there doesnt seem to be a way to join in.... 

Hi Cat

Keep in mind that I'm new to this, but from what I have observed - there seems to be a new challenge starting every 90 days - The organizers are really cool about letting people join in and it certainly doesn't seem to be limited - there are lots of the same people of course - but new comers are always weclome

I also have a thread that I start every week - WW and friends of WW - I started it a few months ago and it's more of a discussion thread about successs, challenges, questions - it's a smaller thread with lots of people that pop in and out - more of a support thread and less of a challenge thread - there are some really great people that post, including a few that are particating in the Nov challenge

hope that helps :-)

Hi Jeni

Great news about the good swim!  WTG!

For this week go ahead and post your weeks' results in the thread - I think it will be fun for everyone to see what the team has accomplished

I'll see if I can keep up with them among all of the other posts - if it works, we'll continue to do it that way

Ok...
2 hrs 15 mins of my 5 hour bike goal done
6.5 miles of my *gulp* 40 mile run goal done (I better plan a few long runs!)
30 mins of my 2 hour swim goal done

I feel good about the bike and swim, but have realized that I need to get some longer runs in to do the run goal. I thought I would be able to pad my actual training plan with my HP class I have, but we have been having classes canceled and other activities planned.

One of those fancy scales would be fun for Christmas though! The ones that take your height, age etc into consideration and give you all sorts of information back. My GF has one that I covet LOL


As long as it doesn't talk to me.....

OK, so now it's my turn to talk to myself.

Yes, December will be a swim challenge! Super Cat and Donto are organizing it.

Beth suggested reporting right here in the thread. If it gets "lost" amidst the chatter, well, we'll figure something else out.

It was chilly here this morning, also. It's sunny though, so I'm hoping it warms up soon.

Weekend highlights - not as thourogh as nibbins notes, but hopefully you will enjoy them just the same :-)

Jeni - swim lesson went great!  woo hooo

Kendra - back from vacation - is now caught up from BT withdrawal - has great feet!

Hector - first 1/2 Mary today - we are all waiting for the RR - GO HECTOR!

Sal - great week of workouts and working and posting - spending time with friends today in Mankato

Sharon - how did the party go????? hope you had a blast

Tammy - do you always talk to yourself?  LOLOL

Amy - may be getting shin splints - advice is welcome (her hubby is not so sure this is a triatholon site - lol)

Heather - working lots of hrs at a tournament - if I remember right it's a BB tourney -

Cat - picked up a new mountain bike - now she just needs some nice weather to go riding!

Scott - no idea, oh Spokes, where are you??

Dee - really needs to get her shoulder looked at - yep, that's the group consensus! ;-)

Yanti - how was the date????????

Lots of talk around Stretching: Cat provided a great explanation

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)

Haha, PT = physical therapist for me too. I just assumed that's what they were talking about.

And to see a physical therapist (PT), I need a referral from a doctor.
