Cold Turkeys - November Challenge (Page 15)

skarl - 2009-11-14 9:14 AM Hey Cold Turkeys!!  Hope everyone has a fun and productive weekend training-wise   I'm going to try to ride outside today -- high of 40* and 100% humidity.  The last 2 winters I've been able to ride outside almost every weekend, but it was always warmer than this.  Guess we may have a real winter this year so I'll have to toughen up!

edit: rechecked the forecast and now they're saying high of 37* -- I'm gonna need a thermos of coffee waiting for me afterwards!

annabananamc - 2009-11-14 11:51 AM Hey everyone! I'm back from my mom's, and s-l-o-w-l-y recovering from my crud/cold (why does it take so long to feel all better?). I have considered carefully and have decided to revise my goals to account for some of my sick days. Normally I'd just try to cram it all in to the remaining days, but I am working on BALANCE so I need to be realistic. I'll get the spreadsheet updated to reflect the changes. Here they are for you guys: 30 days - days missed = days of participation Original goal x days of participation / 30 = new goal (30 original days - 5 days missed = 25 days or 83.33percent) 8* .8333 = 6.67 times, so let's call it 7 runs and 6 strength to even it out. 120*8.333 = 100 Original Goals Run 8 sessions>20 min each Strength 8 session>20 min each Flexibility 120 minutes Modified Goals: Run 7 sessions>20 min each Strength 6 session>20 min each Flexibility 100 minutes Sound ok to the rest of you? Do I need to do anything else besides update our spreadsheet? Hoping after my nap to knock off at least one of something here! The rest of you are amazing, so happy to be on this team of truly positive and supportive people. THANKS!!! Annabanana

I think you need to contact Dee to make sure it's ok.

Nicole?  Is that correct?

I've cycled down to about 28F (once!) but prefer when it's above freezing. It all comes down to dressing right...lots of layers!

mav - 2009-11-15 10:07 AM I ran in 2 5 K's this weekend! I am over 50% for my running...need to step it up a bit for lifting this week!
COME ON TURKEYS!!!!!!

Oh and I won my AG in the local 5 K!!!! ( Not sure how many there were...but a win is a win)

It absolutely is!!!!!  Congratulations!!!!

ebshot - 2009-11-15 2:51 PM That being said, it is not looking good for me to get to the pool tomorrow.  My boys are sick.   I think we have the pig flu.  Not fun.  Poor guys.  But, I am hoping to get to the pool later on in the week. 

I will be on the trainer tomorrow though.  Still on track to make my biking goal!
