Ken D's Group - Shut (Page 17)

Sounds fun!  Have you done one before?  Can't wait to hear about it!!

No I havent done one before! I haven't even seen one before. I just know that I have to do it. I am nuts like that. Plus having goals makes me keep to this!

That is so awesome,  way to commit and in my view you are anything but pathetic in your running, you are a star to come so far in such a short time!

Yes, and I like to count all those who didn't enter as behind me in the standings!  So see, by doing it you aren't in last!

There's an old saying that goes, "DFL > DNF > DNS".  Which means, "Dead F'ing Last is better than Did Not Finish is better than Did Not Start".

Awesome!  I love it when it's warm enough to swim in the lake.

Love it Ken!!!

So what are we all committing too today??

I am going to squeeze in a short trainer ride, as I will be spending the rest of the night (according to my wife) cleaning the house and getting it ready for my nephew and some other family coming into town. 

I did 4 of my 7 intervals on the treadmill this morning until Logan decided he wanted some snuggle time on the couch at 5:45.  I am on my own with the kids tonight so I will finish my run after getting Logan to bed.  Joe is great in the basement with me.  Of course he is, we have a movie theater basement!  He loves going down with me.  I will finish my intervals and then hop on the trainer if it is not too late.

I'm on the hook for an upper body strength session at lunch and cario city tonight.

Might do a swim-run brick tonight.  that would be ambitious with a upper body strength session over lunch. 

We'll see.

My swim is done for today.  I MIGHT get a trainer ride tonight - depends on the family.

Would you guys do a pool sprint tri?  There is one in April in the next town over for us.  Seems like a no brainer to do it but I know a decent amount of people on here will not do one. 

I would, just for experience, good practice for transitions.  The first Tri I am doing in May is actually a pool Tri, but I'm doing the Olympic distance, I thought about doing a pool sprint a month earlier, but it required a mountain bike for the bike portion, so I am thinking about volunteering at that one instead.

Today, I commit to doing another 5k and I'd like to get bike ride in, but I may be fighting hubby for the trainer.   I'm still trying to get an outside ride in, but the weather hasn't been compliant and I have been getting home well after dark from work...I'll have to see what the weather is doing tomorrow and Friday and maybe take a day to get that outside ride in.  I long for Daylight Savings Time to kick in and less rain

Heck ya...would've been good experience before the OWS races and a good way to start the season.  They just started having a few here this year, but you have to be a member at that particular gym to participate. 

Got my 30min bike ride in...time to start cleaning house and grocery shopping! fun

Yep.  I've done two so far.  They're closer, & usually cheaper. 

I was kinda surprised at the fee.  I don't know what the norm is where you guys are but this pool sprint tri for the earliest registration is $75.  The OWS I did last year was $60 and that was pretty last minute.  And it was part of a big series around here.

Here was my mini-goal as stated last week...



It is not over until tomorrow but my weight is at 211 today and I've done 4 of 6 workouts

Finish the job, Tim!!!  Excellent update.

Pretty quiet day in here today!  What is everyone up to today?

Not much here, been a busy day but now I just don't want to work.  I just joked with our secretary we should change all the clocks to 5 and head home.  I have nothing planned for dinner which is never a good thing!  Thursdays usually end up being some kind of takeout.  Heading to the Y to swim after the little monster is in bed.  Gotta go figure out my workout.

I've been out at a customer's site for the last two days.  So limited internet time.

I've done well on the "only 1 dessert per day" goal.  And 2 out of 3 runs done so far.  I might do the 3rd run on Friday.  If not then, it will be Sat.

I had two desserts yesterday.  A couple of cookies when I came home from work.  And then at the movies, my wife bought me some Raisinets.  I can't turn down Raisinets.

I took the last couple of days off work for mental health break,  I did okay on my mini challenge goal, fell down on the swimming only getting in 2 out of 3 swims done.  I have all the excuses as to why, but reality is I just hate pools and making myself go is a weekly battle. 

Today, is going to be a bit of a rest day for me, at the very least for my legs it will...I may slip in some upper body/core strength later today.  The plan is to finally see Avatar at the IMAX.  Tomorrow after my long run in the morning, I am meeting up with my BF for a catch up session and some lunch, it's been a while since we had a face to face.

Monday the new set of bootcamp starts up again, I enjoy the week off, but am always happy to get back at it.

Well...my kids are still alive.  Of course who knows what will happen by the end of today since we are snowed in!  I did ok with lunches.  I really need to plan ahead more.  I actually did not eat breakfast or lunch yesterday.  Crazy morning at home and then ran to the store at lunchtime.  I did kinda stick to my plan on the fridge.  I have done all the workouts but had to mix up the days.  I changed it for the next few weeks.
