May Peach Challenge (Page 2)

Good job so far everyone!  Pam!! - I've missed you!   

I'm 4 for 4 and plan to hit biking hard this coming week.  I'll also be putting in my garden which is back-breaking work so I'll be counting it toward my daily peach.  

i didn't do any formal exercise yesterday, but i did spend 2 hours cheering near the pittsburgh marathon finish line and all the associated walking around pittsburgh to do so (probably >3 miles) and my arms were tired from holding up my sign, so i'm going to count it as a peachy day!

hope everyone had a peachy weekend.

Of course you count days like that, Marilyn!   I'm usually more exhausted when I volunteer than when I participate.  It's a good exhaustion, though.   Thanks for paying it forward!

And Pam, I'm glad at least someone is getting some beautiful weather.  I wonder if we'll ever see above 60 here in Indiana.  

i really really appreciate the volunteers and the spectators at all the races i do, and this year i've been making an effort to give back.  i volunteered at a local tri last month, watched the "slower (aka still faster than me)" marathoners finish yesterday - maybe i'll try to make it a goal to volunteer at one event per month this race season??

i was not peachy last night, but i'll get back on track today.

Had a great swim and run today to keep perfectly peachy for the month.

I need to load back up my data from the past few days, but so far I'm 8 for 8.  Hard bike Tuesday, tempo run yesterday, and swim this morning.  Got another hard bike later on today that I'm going to try to get in.

Keeping things perfectly peachy so far ten days in.  Ran a 25k trail race this morning that was a lot of fun.  I had a long run planned today so just decided to hop into this local race at the last minute.  It was brutally hard but very, very beautiful setting.  3.500 feet of elevation gain and some steep descents.  1,000 feet of climbing in the first mile alone.  Lots of beer planned for the rest of the day. 

I've managed to stay peachy so far this month, but this week will likely have some non peach days, as I approach Memphis in May weekend.  I've been training for this weekend since my marathon in January.  Looking forward to seeing how I do.

I have been absent and there are some holes in my peach streak. Both are being fixed as we speak. Looking at some bike routes where I will be traveling to this week as well. Onward and Peachward!

I think we should all get a free pass for Mother's Day.  My wife wanted to BBQ after church, then visit her Mom, then go for a walk holding hands.  No time really left to train.  Mom's come first.

Got in a nice 21 mile ride today.  First outdoor ride after all the winter trainer sessions.  It's always interesting to see how that first real ride goes after that.  Averaged over 20.3 mph so pretty happy.

p.s. had semi-annual post cancer scans today.  Negative!!  I have a season to look forward to.  Woot!! Woot!!
