Team Gear Goddesses (Page 11)

I'm at 22.5/50 or 45% of my goal. It ain't much...but, its actually more then i have put in any one month. Similar to what has been said here, and same for the swim challenge, its giving me a sense of consistency. I can't run for 2 months, so biking and swimming will be my two focuses.

I've been training scarcely and inconsistently and going to the races and getting through. These challenges are helping me a great deal see the physical and emotional benefits to consistency.

Thank you to all who set these up and see them through....

(and for the chris issue....oy-vay...its SOOO not an issue for me!!)

Including this morning's very slow ride, I'm at 81 % and I don't expect to have any trouble meeting my goal

GO GODDESSES

Sorry to be pulling the Gear Goddesses down - I'm way too close to the bottom of that list  

I had a race yesterday and tapered last week, so my bike mileage suffered.  Good news is I put in 8.5 miles on Saturday as a warmup, and 17.2 miles during the race yesterday, so I'm close to 50% (I know, not great, but better than 37%!!).  I'll be out of town the end of this week, so I'm going to put in some mileage tonight and tomorrow, then ride long on Sunday.  I may not quite make my goal this month, but I'm going to try really hard!!

How's this for motivation... Motivated (Captain Perv) would like to spank your cute bottom. If you don't get on your bike and ride, he will be doing just that (figuratively speaking)  while singing his cupcake song at the end of this month.

Still need us to kick your ass out of bed?

Way to go! That’s terrific!!

I knew you’d be smacking that goal down!

Nikki, don’t discount yourself. That is terrific! It’s not about raw mileage – it’s about hitting your goal!

Excellent!!

Great job, Stacers! Keep up the good work. We'll need those miles this week!!

Excellent! Keep riding, keep pedaling.

Most of all – HAVE FUN!

Dang Renee... that's some ass kicking. Maybe I will ride my bike today.....

Whatever it takes, Sarah.

Anything to avoid hearing his booty shake song and a reference to our heineys in the same breath from Captain Perv. Just ask KimJ - she'll tell you allll about his pervy ways.

He thinks they've already won. Guess he didn't learn anything from the Swim Challenge.

Go Nikki Go !!!! 

Definitely.  Watch, in the final week they'll be requesting exemptions for ingrown toenails and blisters.

Keep riding ladies!  Every mile counts!  If you have to, break long rides up into a bunch of smaller rides.  You'll be amazed at how it all adds up!

I'm with Lynda...I'm doing a little tapering this week  but will HAPPILY pick up extra miles the last few days of this month barring catastrophes and job offers.

NO EXCUSES.

Besides I don't know what I dislike more...Motivated thinking about spanking our bottoms or being called a CUPCAKE!  We'll see whose frosting gets licked

Cupcake, or not....I must say I like the way you think!

Grrr...I was in the driveway ready for my first ride to work...get on my bike...front tire is flat. Pump it up, but know in my heart, there must be something wrong...I just rode on Sunday. Sadly park my red Softride in the basement and go change my clothes. That is 25 miles I was counting on Goddesses....have 3  12 mile rides planned...two sprints and a practice ride of one of the sprints. I was to have a 2.5 hours ride this weekend, but with the sprint that is off....between today and the weekend I'm down....some 40-50 miles.

3x12=36 miles plus a ride tonight for maybe 15-16...equals 52. I will need another ride between the sprints. Instead of going way over the top...it looks like I'll just be making my mileage.

Frustrated...but I'll make it.

Kathy, don't get bummed!  You are doing an awesome job.  The challenge part of this challenge is still riding lots when life tries to get in they way.  Revise your plan, you can make it! 

To all the Goddesses-  Good morning and here's to a great day of riding!

Lynda, not to worry. We are on the same page. Everyone knows women are much tougher than boys men. We know the true meaning of TEAMWORK.

Let's go, Goddesses! We've got to pick up the slack for the injured and struggling! Get in those extra little rides while you can.

Nine days and counting 'til the final tally.
