Oh dear... I think I really have lost it today.... ignore me for about 24 hours

You and me, both. I think we've both gone off the deep end. My excuse is that it's coming up on 2 AM though.

hmmm I think mine is I actually slept last night... that or the diet coke I just drank... maybe I should have chosen an nutrition goal for November!

Ok Ive polluted this thread enough... how about I committ some actualy goals...

Lets see, 3 swims a week, 3 rides and 2 strength (PT Sessions) minimum so thats....

Swims: 12 Sessions

Bikes: 12 sessions

Strength: 6 Sessions

You know, I WAS kind of waiting for these. LOL Figured you'd get around to it sooner or later.

So when I change my mind tomorrow will it send you into a spin??? (j/ks)

Nope. I'm good. You can change 'em. Heck, I'll probably change MINE tomorrow, anyway. LOL At least I know what team you're on. I keep moving myself to any open position on the spreadsheet. LOL

Well at least you didnt FORGET to put yourself on a team

Diet coke? Bleah! I don't drink it. 1) It has no sugar. 2) It has an icky aftertaste. I drink my coke straight up --- HFCS and all. (Actually, I don't drink a lot of soda. Cookies, on the other hand. Yeah, I like cookies. Probably evn more than I like swimming. LOL) Oh, and.... It's not too late to declare another goal. Nutrition or otherwise.

Chocolate chip cookies... even better the batter... full of batter, white and brown sugar, egg, milk and dark and white choc chips, and maybe macadamias.... oh I feel some cooking time coming on!

kaqphin - 2007-10-30 1:35 AM Yup Im running it but its going to be a two person effort I think!!! Will unveil the details latter... dont worry... swimmy swimmy swimmy is on for December and Im already looking forward to aiming for something really ridiculous...

 

50k in one month maybe? (Actually given its christmas that might be excessive!)

50k in one month? Hm.... I wonder if my shoulder can take that.... Nope, I won't smack talk you. (At least not yet. We'll have to see how November goes.) LastCall, on the other hand. Well, I'm already smack talking her. (I've been checking her log. I think it'll be a pretty good swim-off.) Oh gee. Just remembered that the pool will be closed for awhile in December.... Hope it's NOT for 2 weeks. That would really mess things up.... I'd call them right now to ask, but it's 2 AM, so I really don't think they're still open. LOL

GO TO BED!!! Im about ready for home time... if it was a little closer I would come and shut the computer down for you

As for the smack... lets worry about that in a few weeks... I think I need to see the results of the run challenge first!!!

or you could put yourself on TWO teams by accident if you are moving yourself around so much it would be easy to do!

Yeah, but the month hasn't started yet. By then, I'll have moved myself so many times that I'll have forgotten where I ended up. I'll be like the person in the parking lot who walks up and down the aisles, looking for her car. (I'll just be peering thru the rosters, instead of walking.)

or you could put yourself on TWO teams by accident if you are moving yourself around so much it would be easy to do!

Does that mean I'd have to achieve my goals twice, too? Nite! It's beddie-bye time for me. (It IS 2 AM, after all. LOL) We have like 260 posts on this thread, and the challenge hasn't even started yet....

haha i was on BT like 2 years and had less that 500 pots.... two challenges and sometime during this month I hit over 1000... ridiculous really

Imagine how bad it would be if I was on the USA timezone.....

LOLOL

You are going to be so tired from sleep deprivation by December if you keep this up that I won't have to worry about a swim off!  

Oh No, your pool is closed in December  - say it isn't so!!!!

MrsUSMC - 2007-10-30 12:37 PM There's a December swim goal? Wow, when did that happen?

haha ummm ask Dee... somewhere in the Poison Apples thread i think I voluntered.... (but its not just going to be me this time) its usually a swim challenge in december although Im not 100% sure why!

Yep! You sure did! You volunteered to run it! (If no one else stepped up, that is.) And I didn't forget that you said this, 'cause I lovvvvvve swimming! Wait... but you're not going to run it? But.... then who is? We need a swimmy challenge in December. I'm already smack talking Beth. Who's running the swimmy challenge? I wanna have a swimmy challenge. (I really think what I need is a good night's sleep, actually. I'm getting stranger by the minute. LOL)

Yup Im running it but its going to be a two person effort I think!!! Will unveil the details latter... dont worry... swimmy swimmy swimmy is on for December and Im already looking forward to aiming for something really ridiculous...

Looking forward to December - however, my focus is on the November challenge, I have lots of swimming in my plan so it should be good!

I LOVE to swim!!

50k, wow - that would be quite a goal!

Dee,

Found where you got me listed, thanks.  For some eason I am not getting notifications on all the threads I'm active on...must be overloaded from the run chalenge thread or something cause that's the only one I get notices for lately and I haven't changed any control settings for that...

Specific goals: do pushups from toes instead of knees currently at 30/min from knees

hold planks for another 15 seconds on side (bring to 45 sec-1min), and 1:15 for prone plank

pilates/balance ball videos 2x/week each   the boss messed up my work schedule again so the core endurance class will be sporadic at best

And YES, I SWIM-gonna let my swim coach set the goal for Dec and work me to the point of needing GILLS (he will loe it if I manage to not whine at him all month)

Ok, I have figured out my goals for November!  They're the only way I get off my lazy butt and do things .

1) Run > 55 miles in November

2) Bike 2x.  Yes, that's just 2x for the whole month.  I am notoriously bike averse, and I'm focusing on running now, but the hubby bought me toe covers and gloves for fall weather and I have to at least show him thanks by getting my bike out twice!  HA .

I'm in the Northeast and new to the area, so if it's possible to meet some Connecticut-ers, that would be nice, otherwise I'd love to be on an inspirilicious team. 

I'm in.

40 tri-sport workouts in 30 days. Doesn't matter what kind, just 40 runs, swims, or bikes.  The goal is to be active, lay a base, and not balloon up during good-eatin' season.

I think it'll break down into:
   - 10 - 12 swims
   - 10 - 12 bikes
   - 16 - 20 runs
   - Strength training / stairmaster is a bonus
   - Total of 30 hours?

And I'll lose 8 lbs in the process. 180 is target weight. That's not a goal, but it's going to be a pleasant side effect.  Maybe I'll see an ab.

Okay, call me motivated.  Can I add core stuff to my goal?  I think that 12 core sessions for the month of Noevember'll be a big challenge for me.  "Seeing an ab" would definitely be nice. 

I think it's great that this challenge isn't limited to swimming, biking and running.  After an entire season of training I'm ready to do some different stuff.  Also, I really want to do more weights and core workouts.  So here are my goals for the month-

• Racqeutball - 8 hrs
• Weights/core workouts - 8 hrs
• Running - 4 hrs
• Swimming  - 10K yrds 

Keeping my goals a bit conservative b/c I was completely burned out after my last tri the beginning of Oct.  I think this challenge will be good for keeping me motivated.  And, hopefully, limit the damage from all the good food that will be around the end of the month!!!!

*sneaking in quietly* 

I'm gonna run 30 miles, swim 8 hours, and do 4 hours of core workouts (if my lame-o math skills are correct.... 20 min /3 x week / 4 weeks....er... yep) in the month of November!

I"d love to be with those Golden Apples or (since beggars can't be choosers) wherever you want to put me!

Thanks Dee for taking this on!
