Expert  4269   |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - ClosedOriginally posted by jnmrunner Originally posted by Qua17 My update is as follows: Bringing healthy lunch to work the rest of the week (Tu-F) - Three for three to date on this one. I have actually dropped a couple of pounds, I think just from changing my eating habits. Lets hope this one sticks Compare/contrast training calendars - somewhat accomplished. I am having a hard time figuring out what a training calendar means to me. 2x strength training - once tomorrow, already planned for 6:30a.m., then I will have to fit one in this weekend 1x yoga - done with a new app. More yoga to come this weekend, even if it is just 10 more minutes Beers to be consumed this weekend with some football. Only 1/31 for training, but this will increase this weekend as well. Jeanne - Good job on all that you have accomplished this week and congrats on the weight loss. That's great. If I could make a suggestion - the only way to really get a sense of whether or not a training calendar works for you is to use it for a while - I'd say a week or two. Then after you have tried both, the choice should really be clear. I was in the same spot as you - I really liked mapmyride but I also liked the calendar on BT. After using both for a couple of months - I realized that I needed both - tracking my run was easier on mapmyride and I wanted the functionality that came from tracking them on BT. Plus, keeping up my log on BT allows you all to give be a hard time if I slack off. But you need to find something that not only works for you but one that keeps you engaged as well (which is what I really think you are talking about when you said "what a training calendar means to me") Good luck finding something that works for you. |

Extreme Veteran 2098 Alberta | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Nice job! Geez, I thought I heard something...bark, bark! Originally posted by SportzVision Originally posted by Qua17 It's Thursday and we are midway through the week. Time to check in and recommit to your goals for the week. You're mission is simple. There are two things I would like for you to do. First - take a moment to bring us up to speed by posting how your goals are going this week. In your post - let us know what your plans are for accomplishing your goals by the end of the week. Second, and most importantly, make it happen. I am loving what I am seeing in this group so far. Many of you are using this forum to hold yourself accountable. I find that when I tell the group I'm going to do something, it helps me to make it happen because while I might be 20 pounds over weight, I'm a man of my word. Plus, f I fall short - I know I have a warm coors light waiting for me! Good luck everyone and keep up the great work! Made to the gym this morning and got in two miles in 25 mins. Again, slow but steady...I may make this challenge yet. I walked for about two minutes then did the rest in a nice easy jog with a run in the last 45 seconds. Getting over the sickness but still haven't quite got my voice back...only dogs can hear me. |

Originally posted by Bradleykd Originally posted by Brian W I've been inspired! This is the same program I started a few years ago (when my fitness was in the dumps). I'm going to start this program again. Just took the initial test. I'm limited to 14 due to not lifting for a few months and the broken wrist is still recovering...but 14 is WAAAAY more than I could have done in my couch potato days...looking forward to getting some strength back. Are you guys bricks and AM / PM sessions differently for the X/31? I started with 16, and I'm on day 2 of the challenge. It seems really easy when you do the sets, but I can definitely feel it. It makes me nervous about the coming weeks! And I count days. Even if I did a run in the morning and a bike in the afternoon, I'd call it one. Not sure what the others are doing. ETA: The man that posed the challenge says otherwise! If you follow his rules, its easier.. lol One of my training mantras, Joe Friel. Think like a bee, Train like a horse. ...in this case I'll wear blinders! |

I'm not one of these who trains through anything. If I'm sick, you can forget about it! Workout 5 is now complete! Had my first experience with Sufferfest last night. Real good ride. I just wish I could figure out what is going on with my left knee. I've been having some lateral pain for the past couple of months. Nothing too bad. Usually gives me problems when I'm playing basketball. I figured I just needed to stretch more. Well, after my ride last night I couldn't straighten it out completely. Couldn't imagine trying to transition into a run! I'm beginning to think it could be strength related too. Guess I'll try that for a while before I decide to see someone about it. Have a great day everybody!!! Bill |

| 145 Jackson, Mississippi | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Originally posted by sma777 Got my first run of the year in! It was ugly but it's in the books and I can only improve from here. My goals for this week was to run 2-3x and for strength train 2-3x as well. I used the elliptical 2x and ran 1x so I'm feeling good. I have also gone the the gym 2x and am hitting it again tomorrow so I'm ahead there. Next week, less eliptical and more running is in line. I'm also going to figure out where I can set up my trainer so I can get some cycling in. I'll be going to the gym for ST regularly because my 12yo son has asked me to help him train to become a more fit soccer player. It's cool to hang out with him at the gym and help him learn how to build strength in different ways. It's also just a great way to bond over something we can do together. That's awesome about you kid. My two girls are into softball and it's great having something that we do together. Definitely keeps us closer. My oldest, just last night, said something to me about wanting to do triathlon someday. Keep up the hard work and let us know how the running goes! Bill |

| 35 Lansing, Michigan | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Ok so now its tome to get back at it. 2 days out of the house was terrible for the workout. Although I did have an opportunity to hit 3 Floyds Brewery in Munster IN on the way back from Chicago yesterday. If you ever have the opportunity to stop here this is a must. I tried Zombie Dust which is an intensely hopped and gushing undead pale ale. This was excellent. Gumball Head was next.Brewed with Amarillo Hops and a generous portion of American red wheat, Gumballhead has a complex hop aroma with notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, marmalade and peach. These flavors combined with low bitterness. yet another excellent beer. The Food was just as incredible. We gave the food selection responsibility to the bar tender and he did not disappoint. Smoked rubbed chicken wings to start alongside Shrimp fritters in a Cajun mayo dipping sauce. The second course was a chipolte gouda mac and cheese and then finally we finished it off with a smoked pork taco. This place will definitely be a must do on upcoming return trips to Chicago. http://www.3floyds.com/ Push ups are done for the day I need to get in a big exercise today to make up for the past few days Edited by ervaller 2014-01-10 7:53 AM |

Veteran 199 The Ocean State | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Grrrrrr, my calf is not happy. I'm feeling some pain in my soleus, it started cramping up last night while playing soccer and I want to avoid any injury here. Last year I saw a PT for a few weeks for a similar issue with the other leg and he told me I had super tight calves and should stretch and massage to loosen things up. Of course after he fixed me up, I ignored his advice and am not a stickler for stretching. Apparently I have a ton of scar tissue as well from years of microtears. So, anyone have suggestions on good stretches and a self-massage tool (stick, rolling pin, baseball) that worked for you. I'd like to avoid having to go to PT but he and another female PT had to dig deep into my calf to loosen things up so I may not have an option. |

Expert 2180 Boise, Idaho | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Seems to be alot of calf/leg issues going around. Err on the side of Caution and discretion in January. Had a nice run with my group last night. The reward was a wonderful "Torpedo Stout"; a mixture of 58% Chocolate, 2% Bourbon and 40% Expresso stouts. It was soo creamy and satisfying. Credit to the BDAAS (Badass?) for preventing me from ordering a PBR and calling it good.

Member 3147 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Planned rest day for me!, which I shall use sitting in the car driving to my in-laws' house. I'd forgotten this was the weekend for this trip, so it was quite the rude awakening this morning. Anyway, one good thing will come from it--a guarenteed long run tomorrow! Long run=legitimate reason to escape the craziness for a while. Hope everyone has a great weekend with lots of good training time! |

Extreme Veteran 968 Cape Coral, FL | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Just got home from the LBS with new 105 pedals. I decided to put the Speedplays on craigslist, here, and ST. No matter how much I fiddle with them I just can't get a good feel. They have been adjusted a million times and still getting a bit of pain on the inside of the knee. The chart I saw and the guys at the LBS said the same thing, they aren't for everyone and it's possible to have too much float. Put the 105s on and rode around the block and it feels so much nicer already. I'm taking the hex wrench with me on Sundays long ride to fine tune the cleats as needed. |

Grab yourself a coors light DQ! HA HA... 10.5 for me... And I'm counting my PT workouts as half a workout...Otherwise my lead would be even more substantial. Just to be clear - no Coors Light for me. Ever. (I may regret saying that)... |
