Great work everyone! A couple of people have some injury issues going on.  Take care of yourselves and don't push outside your limits.  Staying healthy for the upcoming season should be the primary objective!

Now, with that being said.....
Comeon RED - LET'S ROCK WEEK 3!

A certain member of the blue team (wsm9363) has been talking some smack.  From my inspires yesterday:

Now I was just trying to figure out how to blow off Thursday's 6am swim/run session.  Not no more!!!!!!!  I am on it!!!!!!!!

GO RED!!!!!!!!

You know drdi if your team colors weren't Scarlet, I wouldn't even deem the team worthy of comment.  But since your captain and you are such luckless Buckeye fans, I figure I need to do SOMETHING to help spur you on.

You were thinking about skipping your workout, and so I am very glad to help inspire you to greater achivement.  Left to your own I am sure you would have fallen flatter than the Buckeyes did on January 8th.  But even with that the Blue dynasty will continue!!!

GO TEAM BLUE!!!!

A bit of swimming and my shoulder is holding up.  I prolly wont make the swimming, folks.

Ran 1.5 hours and did 9 miles which is prolly a pb for that time for me. Definately faster than my pb 1/2 M time and I was in Zone 2-4 for the run. Yay.

Updated numbers for Week #3 of the Swim/Run Challenge...

Let's go RED!

Excellent week Team Red!

WOOHOO!  Hot off the challenger organizer (CalgaryRunner) computer......


Looks like it was Red Teams week (week 3):

What an awesome and motivated team! 

GREAT JOB RED TEAM!!!!!

YOUHOU! Just finish another 2000 m swim which take cares of the swim for this month. Still have 50 so KM to run though.... GO RED GO!

Good job everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got one more run and I'm done.  Should be this week.  Don't know quite how I am finishing early, but that's ok.  I am almost back to the total monthly mileage that I was running before I got injured last July.  (Yes it's hard to believe that someone can get injured running 9-10mpw, but I managed to do it and do it good.)  Gosh it's been a long slow slog back.  Still having issues but everything is still slowly moving in a positive direction.

Two more swims and I am done.  If all goes as planned, that will be Thursday and next Monday.  Yippee!!!!!  I absolutely cannot believe that I have been making it to the pool three times a week this month.  That is so incredible for me.

So good luck everyone the final 8 days.

GO RED!!!!!!!!

55 Minutes in the Pool! (shoulder improved).

30 Minutes run.

I may not make it , but I'm closing the gap.

Finished up my run today.  Swimming should finish Monday (unless I go skiing) or Tuesday (if I ski on Monday).   Good luck on the final days of the challenge!!!!!!!!!!!

GO RED! 

Very nice job Team Red!!! Due to some knee issues I am afraid I will not meet my run goal but my swimming goal of 50K yds will be done on Monday or Tuesday.

 Great job by everyone!! WAY TO GO!!!

Finished my long run today and blew past the January goal!  WOOHOO!

Still have a short amount of swimming left to do.  Will easily be able to finish up before the deadline! 


Comeon Red Team - BIG FINISH!

Well Team, I am done with my promised Swim and Run amounts. It really helped to get me in the Pool and on the road or "Dreadmill" when I would have normally just been lazy. Thanks for all your inspires and Thanks to our Great Captian !!! You all are doing great!

RED TEAM ROCKS!!!!

My thanks to whm9363 for pointing out the error on this weeks Summary Spreadsheet.  My fault for updating this before having my first coffee of the day....

Here's the update.

I finished up my swim part of the challenge today.  Did some X-C skiing too so my arms are limp noodles right now.    Usually Tues is a swim day, but I am taking tomorrow off (from swimming) since I am done!

Good luck to all who are finishing up the challenge!
