The Epiphanies (Team 2) - January Challenge (Page 15)

GoGoGo - 2010-01-14 1:46 PM Heeeyyy Team,

Did 20 mins on bike & 40 min run. My totals are coming along...

How You duin?...

Atlantia - 2010-01-14 2:03 PM I was on the trainer this morning, and I'm scheduled for a short run tomorrow. I'm toying with switching around my orthotics to help fix these nagging calf and shin issues. Since tomorrow is such a short workout, that'll be the time to try something new.

This has been a hard month for me.  I'm behind on my goals and struggling to catch up.

Back to work today and I'm taking the day off.  The plan is to keep up with the TP ball, heat application, and stretching.

dcon - 2010-01-12 9:25 PM Hi everyone.  I'm doing pretty well with my goals - ahead on the run and swim and a little behind on the bike and weights.   I will have no problem with the weights, but will struggle if I can't get in some more rides outside.  I can only tolerate about 30 minutes on a health club bike before the seat is killing me.

The challenge is fun & to motivate but not too mame yourself.  You are too motivated & left to your own devices, you will mame yourself!  I don't know you, never met you, but do know this.  I am the same.  Unfortunately I never refuse a physical challenge & I think you don't either

The summary of my babbling is to look after yourself first.  Treat your Piriformis & the rest will fall in line.  You do not need to take one for the team, & set yourself back 6 monhs.  We will  be OK.  We can adjust your goals.  No biggie.  If you need to put on your cheerleader costume, get some pom poms & cheer us on

Tim,  let it heal, man!

There I said it!  I feel better now!

Also, he is faster than me & I might catch up this way  I can't believe I said that!  That is soooo immature

 

Atlantia - 2010-01-15 6:29 AM Orthotics, huzzah! Still a little bit of left calf aching, but nothing like it has been. Only a short run, but hopefully this speaks well for the future.

congrats on the solution to the problem.  I am still having lower shin aches while running but also nothing like it used to be.  What kind of Orthotics are you using?

Just got in a 20 min run, off to update the spread sheet then class.

Happy Friday to you all. I have revised my goals for the month to be for swimming only as I have been told( by my PT) no running or biking due to a back injury. I was really hoping it would get better...but...NOT!!! At least I can swim

GoGoGo - 2010-01-16 10:24 AM Hey Pips,

Check in tomorrow...log those activities!!!

I did another 75 min spin class this morning & followed by 5.5k dreadmill run. These bricks are getting easier.

After my Hypothermic half Mary in a few weeks, might make the brick, a 10 k run.

23-25 k run tomorrow...problem is about -10C (20F) BBrrrhhh

Nice surprise last night, wife's parents in town, so wifey & I went our for a steak & red wine for dinner. No kids! Nice for a change!


Keep going Pips!!

brick94513 - 2010-01-16 5:15 PM Doesn't help with the monthly goals, but got a great group mountain bike ride in this morning.  Depsite the group pace, I was still able to get anaerobic on the climbs.  It was a beautiful morning.  We were treated to wild turkies, deer, coyotes, and even a bobcat.  The only thing not seen was a mountain lion, which is entirely fine by me.

Now the forecast is calling for heavy rain over the entire next week  Looks like I'll be hitting the pool over the next few days.  I'll have to try and squeeze my runs in whenever there is break in the rain.
