August East-West Run/Jog/Wog/Walk Challenge! (Page 15)

Welcome back and thanks for your service.  Chaotic sounds like a "nice" term for it all.  Few days left in the month.  You can do it!

So I have a question.......why am I always STARVING immediately after a swim but can't stomach the thought of food after a long run. BTW, nice swim. 

Last night I remembered why I hate love challenges. I didn't get my run in before work. (Danger Will Robinson.) Got home tired and hungry around 8pm. Running late in the day is not my thing. Plan only called for 3 miles, so very tempting to skip it. But it's close enough to the end of the month that I'd probably not make the miles up. So, I taped up the knees and went out for hill repeats in the dark. Today is a rest day, but I'm wfh so probably will do something. Not sure what. Maybe take the townie bike out to run errands before the weather goes to poop. Tomorrow is a long run, then batten down the hatches while Irene roars. 

Run Westies, Run!

Same for just about everybody re. the swim (I'm starving after long runs too, though, but not like swimming). Lots of reasons, but for me I think the main one is the water continually cools your skin down, signalling your brain to say NEED ENERGY TO CREATE HEAT NOW!!!

I know that we still have a few days until next month but I thought that I would poke my head in anyway and let you guys know I am looking forward to September's challenge. Thanks to Judi and Yanti for keeping an eye on me and getting me back here.

Crushers 1st anniversary is in one month! I think that we need to take on the unmentionables again in October...

Hunting Triathlete - 2011-08-23 8:22 PM Come on West!  I don't want to change my Avatar with Dove season opening on the 1st of Sept.  Run, Run, Run for Operation Save The Squirrel.

Keep it up WEST on the "Operation Save the Squirrel" !!!!!!  Let's go

Welcome back!!!  What are we doing in September??  And does anyone else wonder how in the world it's already almost September?? 

Long time no see! Hope you are well! I agree about the October challenge!

Can we do a challenge that involves swimming or a swimming option please...? I need to swim and swim and swim! Found a new coach and had a short session with him today. I think he will help me a lot and I am nearly ready to brave a squad session.

Yanti wants to swim too. Maybe a swimming option then? :D

4.1 Miles today in 101 heat, got to love Texas, but then again I didn't have to start my run at 11:00 a.m. 

Come on West, the squirrel is shaking in his tiny camo vest.

That she does. It's going to be a challenge to keep up (and keep increasing) this level of swimming in addition to bike and run for IM training.

WELCOME BACK TO THE CHALLENGES MELISSA CRUSHER

And as I said to you--in my memory September is a traditional swim or swim/run month for challenges ... and gee we just had a run challenge

Hey everybody - how is it going.  Just 4 1/2 days left this month are you on target for your goals?

I am 2 5k's away - should knock them out Monday and Wednesday at Lunchtime - Yeah

WOW Look at those stars!! 

Thanks for all of the welcomes back Co-Crushers!

As tired as I was (actually fell asleep on the floor for a few minutes while changing into running gear), I got in 4 miles today. Depending on how bad the weather is here in NY I may have a forced day off tomorrow, but with just 8 miles to go I'll get them done in time!
