Hard Core Tri Corps (Team 8) Thread (Page 15)

Andrew, I have a job for you!

Because of your eloquence, careful explanations, and lovely Diderot signature line, you are:

Corporal Quotes of the Hard Core Tri Corps!

Whenever the urge hits, drop us a quote you like, or something you say to yourself as you're trying to get up a steep hill, or anything pithy.

Way to jump into the team with a bang!

Far too straightforward I was thinking in the style of LOL and LMAO (which is what you will be doing shortly!) but the best I could come up with was "damned amazing - you're unbelievably marvellous"

Ditto - I grew up in Australia and when I moved back to the UK, I had to concentrate very hard to stop my voice from rising at the end of every sentence. My university nickname was "skippy" so it wasn't hugely successful at the beginning!

Just wanted to have a small boast of my own. I've just run for 9 whole minutes without stopping (except twice for traffic!) which is the furthest I've run since before I was pregnant.

And I don't think there was too much shuffle in there either. I kept thinking "Judi thoughts" and it seemed to work.

Next major milestone - I'm going swimming tonight, with a local tri club - which is doubly daunting.

Hi everybody! It's great to see Cindy checking in, that's her job after all, and being so honest with us. Andrew--way to get started with your inspirational job of Corporal Quotes!

Congrats to Judi for a great weekend race, and to everyone for putting effort into your training.

As all of you know, I have been Sergeant Doberman and dropped by your logs! Here's the down 'n' dirty: as of 11/11/07 (that's Sunday), the challenge is 37% over. So you should be roughly 1/3 of the way through your goals ... so you know what you need to do if you're behind!

Ramp up, but do a bit more at a time every day--no need to load up or panic! There's still 19 gorgeous training days left in November. Gorgeous is what you make of it, has nothing to do with the weather!

Thank you everyone--get out there and TRAIN GORGEOUS!

Hi everybody, just checking in.  I just got back from a run with my 10 year old.  He, my sister and myself are doing a 5k on Thanksgiving morning.  It will be the first race we've ever done together, so I'm excited. 

This challenge is just what I needed, because I really think I would have spent alot more time on the couach this month without it.  I'm 45% of the way to my goal, so am thinking I might actually surpass it.  That would be very cool, since I HATED running before I started tri's and don't really think of myself as a runner now.  The funniest part of this all is that I'm planning a 1/2 mary in the spring and depending on how that goes a marathon in the fall of 09.  YIKES! Why would I call that funny?????

here to say I hated my job today...let's just say intubating a known noncompliant cretin who self extubated (despite restraints) and managed to maintain his airway maybe another hour before reintubating and CODING, vomiting blood all over my favorite shirt (threw it out, he was hepatitis positive) then being forced to stat because the ER was insane and I was on call really sucked.  I haven't eaten since breakfast other than a small yogurt right before the cretin arrived and a peanutbutter apple around 5.  came home to find my kids played hairdresser ad the younger one had a comb so twisted in the older one's LONG, FINE hair that it nearly required an emergency call to a hairdresser. I got the mess untangled... thanks for letting me fuss about the horrors of being an ERRN

No, I don't have a yoga goal because I really don't enjoy it.  Pilates or stability ball workouts are the goals.  My push up goal is more than 30/min FROM  THE TOES which  I met (35 last Sunday).  Planks are to be held over 30 or 45 seconds depending on the type

My swim is on for the morning, if the hip flexor handles it "I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike..." (who besides me is old enough to remember Queen when that song came out?)

Hey gang, we're really at a low percentage of those goals.  I know w all have issues related to ou health/families/jobs going on so let's get motivated and MOVING in a forward progression towards those goals.

Melissa, I wish those 5-10 minutes of chest compressions could count toward the push up goal, my shoulders HURT all night from that--mama never even broke a sweat, just kept on compressing except when the tube was actuallybeing passed...
