Shermbelle's Group Full and training our a$$es off (Page 11)

I'm fortunate to have good weather here.  I just finished a 4 miler at a balmy 39 degrees.  It was great.  So I've gone 10/65 miles so far this month - I forgot it's only 28 days so I have a ways to go!

Mike (ellismichael), I think it's funny that your challenge it to not drink soda and water is your last choice.  Call me crazy, but water is my favorite drink!  Next is probably beer and wine.  Water is the cleanest tasting, freshest drink I can imagine.  Juice and soda satisfy only very specific and rare cravings.  Funny how people's tastes can be so different!  Hope you're having success holding off the soda - good luck!

I factor both into a hard day. Recovery time is probably the most important aspect. I try to never put hard sessions on back to back days in the same sport. I can however get away with most of the time doing a hard run and then a hard bike back to back and swimming anytime because it is less stress.

Another beautiful day in my world. 4 degrees with a sub 20 windchill. Highways are shut down due to 40 mph winds and complete white-outs. Thankfully just a trainer session for me today.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Happy Monday gang. I think we need another round of pick me ups (at least I am always looking for some) so what is everyones goals for this week.

For me

3 Swims

5 Runs

3 Bikes

That is at least what my coach wants. I might end up adding a bike in there and probably a couple of strength sessions. Plus I want to see sub 200 on the scale by weeks end. I need to get serious about this weight loss thingy.

I'm shooting for 4 runs, 2 bikes.  Go me! 

Been struggling myself all week for energy. My whole family has been sick or getting over it for about 2 weeks now. The little man has had two ear infections which equals some long nights.

I need one swim and a bike/run tomorrow and I will end up hitting all my targets this week.

How is everyone else coming along?

Funny, I have heard the same about Michigan. There is a private high school about a mile from me that had to close for a day last week because 50% of the teachers were sick and 30% of the students were ill.

i had kind of a bad week - lost my mojo and didn't feel like working out in the middle of the week, so i missed most of my goals - however, the big one, the important one of the long run today, i nailed.  i had the best run i've had in a year today.  a 9+ miler at sub-11, so i'm pretty excited!  though i'm beat now...

hope everyone has a good next week!     

great job on the long run Lisa, hope you can find the motivation all week this week! Don't dwell on the  past, move on and have a great TODAY!

Thanks for promoting my race report Tim :-)

It's true, I did my first multi sport race this weekend, a 750M then 5Km run. It was a really small and ultra competitive group, which was quite intimidating at first. But I had a good time!

You can read all about it in the report!

Great job Lexy!

Congrats
