Wind Chill Warriors (Team 3) - January Challenge (Page 17)

otter_sh - 2010-01-23 1:31 PM

I do not want to quit on the team, I just need to adjust my goals for days missed. 
Original planned workouts for the month was 13 in each catagory.  Goals were 9 run and bike and 7 swim.
So I will need to adjust bike and run 1 for 1 for each workout I miss, and swim 1 for every 2 I miss.  So if I do not get back I would be 8 of 9 in bike, 9 of 9 in run and 3 of 5 in swim.  So sorry team I am not at 100% of goals.

Dee, do I adjust now, or wait and see how long this thing takes to pass, because I do not want to artificially raise or lower our team score.

I re-did my run goal according to Dee's math on page 19.  My new goal is 50.3 miles.  I'm not sure if I'll make it since I only run on specific days.

I ran and swam today.  Still not feeling good though.

mndymond - 2010-01-23 10:10 AM Hey Team!

So after I finished my final yesterday I did a swim, bike and core. Today it looks like a 90min run and prob a bike...its only about -5C outside...so not too bad for a run...i think its a bit breeze..oh well..

I'm currently compiling my run playlist!

ceilidh - 2010-01-23 11:40 AM Steve- OUCH, I hope it goes away soon!
Tracy- colds just suck. there is no other way to put it.
I got a nice run in today and will get a strength session in later.

I spent 4 hours tonight in the emergency room due to a 5 mm kidney stone deciding it wants to get out.  Until it passes I am suspending workouts....  Will let you know when I am back in the game, but I will not be able to make all my goals.

deehtz - 2010-01-23 3:11 PM Got in my long run today (5 miles).  75% of my goals overall.

Knee didn't bother me running.  Still can't kneel on it very well but I don't need to do that to train! 

My calves are pretty tight, but I think that is from trying some barefoot running earlier this week.

Let's Go, Warriors!

I don't agree with that whole barefoot running thing at all!  I think it is going to result in lots of injuries that could have been prevented by simply wearing shoes.

A couple years ago, my husband and I went to Fiji and spent 10 days with native Fijians in their villages.  The first thing we noticed was how strong their feet are!  The go barefoot or with little flip flops all the time.  They have decades of every day use on bare feet.  All of us North Americans are never going to have feet as strong as that!  All the barefoot running in the world is not going to overcome our soft lifestyle.  I'll be keeping my shoes on.

owl_girl - 2010-01-24 7:40 AM

I'm STILL not feeling good!  This stupid thing is just hanging on.  I may or may not run today.  It depends on how bad I'm coughing.

Yesterday, we went to the first race of the year for our running club.  My husband did the 10K in 46:42!  And that was with a pit stop at the porta potty!  He said he just couldn't hold it!  Poor guy.

I was talking to a gal at the race who is a nurse.  She said that everyone with my symptoms has been testing positive for H1N1.  Great.

deehtz - 2010-01-24 8:31 AM

LOL Well, I didn't really plan on trying the barefoot running.  But I forgot to bring my running shoes to the Y.  I walked and jogged a little on the treadmill to test my knee.  Then my knee felt so good, but my hiking boots I was wearing felt so bad that I ran barefoot on the treadmill for a while.  It was okay but probably nothing I would try outside. 

I know, I know,  I should have just waited to run another day.  Who would have thought that I would EVER be so eager to run? 

deehtz - 2010-01-24 8:35 AM

CONGRATS to your DH.  Jeepers, that's my time for a 5k without a potty stop! 

And SO SORRY about the flu symptoms!  I know that they have a vaccine, but is there anything that the doc can give you to help once you already have it?

Well, I just wanted to let ya'all know that I asked to be removed from the challenge due to a ski injury. Hurt my knee in a ski lesson and I'll be on crutches for the next 3 weeks. I'll be rooting for the Wind Chill Warriors.
