Veteran  243   Denver |  Subject: RE: CHALLENGE Challenge - PersistenceHi guys! Happy Wednesday.
So... last night's swim practice about killed me. I'm not a good swimmer. About 2/3 of the way through practice, we had to do 4x100s on 2:00 - um, my first 2 100s were right at 2:00, but my last one? Oh, 2:40. Nice huh?
I'm going to do some yoga tonight. Run tomorrow - supposed to be in the 60s! How is everyone today? |

GO EAGLES. FLY EAGLES FLY.... Hmmmm...I remember making fun of Philly a challenge or two ago. It all came back to bite me. (i'm a Cowboys fan.)

Extreme Veteran 470 Horsham, PA | Subject: RE: CHALLENGE Challenge - Persistence Hi Team Persistence....I love the name of this team! I believe I signed up to do 100 miles running and 12 sessions of strength this month. Last month was an absolute bust, so this is a definite challenge to get back on track. I am also doing my first peach challenge and trying to lose some unwanted regained pounds. So, the entire month requires enormous persistence!....so far, so good! Happy training everyone! GO EAGLES!!! |

Master 1989 New Jersey | Subject: RE: CHALLENGE Challenge - Persistence All I can say is that one of these days, Tony Romo will actually win a playoff game. Alright, I'd be happy if was just a game in December. I miss the Staubach/Dorsett/Drew Pearson days. |

Yeah I tried to count that for a peach square too in November. I figured that, combined with all the 12 oz curls I did should have added up to a workout. It was my only yellow square for the month |

Regular 50 | Subject: RE: CHALLENGE Challenge - Persistence i have a yellow square for peach challenge this month also.. it was a carbless day for me on new diet plan. i think i should get a freebee just for that and figured walking around food store aisles aimlessly doesn't count either.. i think walking to a bar should definitely count along with the curls... funny. j girl

I did the peach challenge a few times...I found even though I never hit 100% peach it still was excellent as it made me more consistent with my training! |

The peach challenges rock although i've only completed one successfully once. It does make you more conscience of what you do. I'm taking a ten day vacation otherwise i would have been in January too |

Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: CHALLENGE Challenge - Persistence Well CHALLENGERS, the first week is done. Did you challenge yourself? Did you encourage a teammate to do a little more? Did you set your goals just a little bit higher? Did you push yourself - within reason - through the stuff that life throws at us? Keep up the awesome work, everyone. Remember, teams are TEAMS, everyone is in it together, for better or worse! No standings this week. If you are super curious about percentages, look at the spreadsheets yourself. Every team is working hard, and that's what matters. Some interesting notes, though - three of our four teams have at least one person who has already met 50% of at least one of their goals. Some of these are due to tapers, vacations, etc. toward the end of the month. But if you are already over 40% even, take another look at that goal. Can you do more? One more swim? Ten more miles? Each of our teams also have at least two 0%s. Again, maybe you knew the pool wouldn't be open, or you needed to wait for a doc appt to see if running was on tap. No problem. But if you just haven't gotten to something yet, get it done. Putting it off will only consume your brain and waste your body. Tired? Sure, we all are. Out of time? Who isn't? But once you bust out that workout, you can check it off your to-do list, and free yourself up for that all important summer race schedule daydreaming! Push yourself. Push your teammates. Embrace the CHALLENGE! |
