Hearts - February Challenge (Page 14)

dcon - 2010-02-15 3:18 AM It was a loveless day, but I did get in a nice run (45 min) and some swim time (1250 meters plus a lesson).  Have a great day Hearts!!

yogachic - 2010-02-15 6:29 AM G'morning Hearts!  I'm excited to be going cross-country skiing this morning!  And my trainer's supposed to be coming in today, so hopefully it will be here when I get back!  If it is, I'll definitely be riding it this afternoon

Atlantia - 2010-02-15 7:14 AM After a week of snow and whining it feels so good to be getting workouts in again. Another super slow run, but I got it done, and that's what counts. Just as I was coming into the home stretch a young dog bounded out into the street and started running with me. I slowed, then stopped. Its owner was trying to catch him, but puppy was having none of it. Almost got hit by a car, too. The guy was saying his dog was just enjoying playing in the snow then ran off. I sort of wanted to smack him. We are not a safe neighborhood for puppies off leash. I finally lured the dog in with some treats I had in my vest pocket, then handed him over to the owner with a nasty face. Hope he learned his lesson.

MDHillSlug - 2010-02-15 8:35 AM Well, week 2 of the Love challenge is officially over.

With 50% of the month done, the standings are:

Hearts: 47.7%
Kisses: 45.6%
Hugs: 45.1%

It's a tight race with lots of good training happening! Lots of time to overtake and be overtaken. Keep up the good work everyone!

And, as always, feel the Tri Love!

MDHillSlug - 2010-02-15 8:13 AM Happy Monday...who has the day off besides me?

I swam this morning; between the holiday and starting an hour later the pool was beautifully quiet and I had the lane to myself for the whole swim. Two more swims this week will get me back on the Love schedule.

I'll be announcing the week 2 standings in just a little while. When I last looked yesterday we were still in front.

Atlantia - 2010-02-15 6:41 PM We're doing great, Hearts! Maybe this will finally be the month my losing streak ends!!!

LeahDD - 2010-02-15 8:24 PM I love being in first place and that was even with me being behind.  I am pleased to announce that I am now ahead of schedule.  Even though I spent 52 miles on my bike on Saturday and 60 today, I don't LOVE being on the bike for hours and hours yet.  I keep waiting for the day when 60 miles is not hard.  It better come long before November (IMAZ on November 21).

Way to go, Leah!  52 miles and 60 miles Wow!!
