Twisted Blisters II (Page 14)

No worries Beth...we have a great team and we love your back...I mean that your back! he he

Thanks Beth....my husband cant run because he has a bad hip, but my daughter and I are racing our first tri together in May....woo hoo!

that will be a lot of fun!

Yeah all my swims are done at my community pool but I can't get to it till the evening and the air is cool. Being that I'm still getting over the cold i should probably wait a bit more. Actually I'm hoping by the 20th if possible. 

No worries Hector...soon this will be you...so you will not have to even worry about the swim...

OBTW...glad that you are feeling better...time for the heckle war....he he...

Updated - due to changes in the Team Ride Lots spreadsheet.

CONGRATULATIONS TO WHO'S YOUR MARMADADDY?!

BUT remember that this is only the SECOND week of the challenge! January is only 41.9% completed. There's still time to help your team achieve that #1 ranking!

So get out there and Swim/Bike/Run!... And then Swim/Bike/Run some more!

Dee and Beth

The 'World according to Beth' will be published tomorrow, there were some delays in getting up to the minute information since the lead reporter was entertaining weekend guests among a variety of other life changin activities

Something to look forward to ( the stats are the more important part anyway - so thanks to Dee!)

Here's a cartoon to start your day with a chuckle

Hey Alyssa, here's the Hal Higdon Novice Plan. This one's not based on a previous race time (which was good for me because I've never done a stand-alone running race), so you just do all the runs at a "comfortable" pace. Personally, my goal is just to finish, so this one seems to fit the bill for me, but it's worth taking a look at both plans.

Good Luck! 

P.S. I looked at the BT plan first, and I trust the coaches here to put together a great plan. For me, though, running 5-6 days/week isn't really feasible (yet).

thanks for the smiles...beth! LOL

Have a good day!!

for me it is a very long swim...and maybe a short run...and you?

Beth...wanted to ask you what I do when I reach the running goal for the challenge? I guess I underestimated my running abilities. I would like to up it if that will help. I am planning on doing a run today...probably only 2 or three miles since I am swimming, too. Let me know what you think...this is my first challenge and I am not quite sure what I am supposed to be doing...besides running. he he and trying to inspire other blisters.

Thanks!

I'm going to get a run in before DD's BB game

that's great!  just let me know what your new goal is   nothing real formal at all

Julie,

 How much are you going to up your miles?  I think I might up mine another 10....

I'm planning to run at least another 3 miles tonight.

Beth - I am going to up my goal to 40 miles...from 30 officially/unofficially...should I change the challenge spreadsheet?

Julie...get that beauteous bike on the road!  No more garage for you!

Karen  I noticed you are now sporting a new "swim cap" avitar....very cute and love the happy face...but may I remind you...we are blisters!. he he

sounds like the plan Karen...but not until tomorrow...I am actually loading my swim gear into my bag to go and are planning to go for a noon time swim....and then tonight I planned a short 2-3 mile run. Tomorrow is my day to bike to work again...and then this weekend so I can ride then...plus this weekend we are meeting our daughter in Bakersfield (five hours from here) for a mountain bike race and are planning on doing road ride the following day. We all just bought new bikes (my daughter got her brand new Trek last night) so we will be looking good and probably blinding anyone that comes near us with our new and shiny bikes and components!! WAY TO UP YOUR MILEAGE KAREN...you inspired me to do the same...!
