pdbman - 2010-06-25 11:05 AM Got in a good workout last night. I could tell my training has been lacking and that I've been taking it easy. I did some sprint intervals and the last one was much slower than the first. I can go long and slow or short and fast (very short-like those animals that can go really fast for a very short distance). I would like to get some speed on the longer runs.

This line begs for a comment....



Not from me. I'd have to moderate myself.

Of course, you're already past that now. Just wait until you lose all your pretty stars.....

What is the deal with the pretty stars? I've been trying to figure it out.

pdbman - 2010-06-25 11:18 AM Frustrating night last night. My wife and I were going to go to the gym but when I got home, she had to talk. Nothing against talking. I know you ladies have a need to talk and us guys need to listen but timing is a big thing. She talked right up until we had to leave to be able to get in a workout before the gym closes. Then I couldn't find my goggles (took them out of my bag to fit the stuff for my running race last weekend). By the time I finally found them, the pool was closing in 15 minutes. So we went to the high school track instead.
Couldn't the talking have waited until after the workout? What's up ladies? Can you help me understand this?

Coming from one of the "ladies"....I would have to say if you had plans to go workout then that is what should have come first....UNLESS what she needed to talk about was important to her and something she could not put off until later.  Did you actually listen to what she was saying or were you stewing about missing your workout? If you were stewing and not paying attention I would say for next time asking her if you could sit down and talk after the WO so you can give her your full attention/ but then you need to do that! I am still waiting to talk to hubby about important issues that he keeps putting off. Good luck to you!

Ah.  It's a secret.  

Well, maybe not so much.

Basically, stars are fickle.  They come and go.  And when they go, you're left wondering where they went.

No, mostly just being a phlegm producing machine, a nasty cough, a bad sore throat, and burning eyes.  So not actual flu, just some random viral thing.

Ah, so if I post 3 more times (2 more after this post), I will lose my 3 green stars and get a purple star.

I like green, though!

Ok.  Made the bike goal.  approaching the calorie goal, need to do one more p90X workout to make that goal.  But...I have to run 25 miles in the next 3-4 days to hit the run goal.  Sorry gang.  Not going to make that.  Good job to the rest of you folks though.

No prob.  Just get to 125, and you'll get another one.  

I still think they should make the gold and silver ones SPARKLY.

Week 3 Challenge Update!

There's been a SWITCH among teams!

Of course, Team Bill is still in FIRST PLACE!  
He's biked 1373 miles so far this month!  
http://freedomtour.opwc.org/ 


Team 2 - 70.5% - is now in SECOND PLACE
Team 3 - 70.0% - has dropped to LAST PLACE

BUT with teams 2 and 3 so close, who KNOWS what will happen in the final days of the month!

The month is now 90% over -- and Bill is blowing away both teams by miles and miles!   Are YOU on track to meet your goals?

Please have your June totals entered on the spreadsheet by Thursday 7/1, so that I can post the FINAL STANDINGS.

- Dee

Yeah, I *used* to actually like the dreadmill.  Now, I just dread it.  I hate being hamster-like..... So yes, I'm waiting until dusk, too.  But I wanted to wog LAST night, and I didn't.  If I keep slacking off, I'm going to have to taser myself.

I'm with you, the dreadmill will make an appearance this winter again, but for the time being I am going to be outside...  On the other hand, I have done like 90% of my biking on my CT in the garage this summer...  I look at that as risk mitigation....  Plus, I get a way better workout than stopping every mile or less for a stop sign or stoplight...
