Air Wingers Team Thread - Nov USMC Challenge (Page 2)

So how do we count our points? Do we just log them in the spreadsheet, here or in our log?

Thanks, this is my first challenge so I'm a little confused

Some what it is all 3.

Your log is your official record of what you have done.  In the past if it was not in your log, it did not count.

The spreadsheet is our combined totals.  So you need to be updating it regularly, but especially just before the week-end deadlines.

Posting work outs in this thread, allows us to cheer each other on and challenge each other to reach our goals.

At least this is how the past few challenges have run. 

Hi all-

I'm writing this from my bed, as my newly-operated-on knee received an autograft ACL and some major meniscus repair Tuesday morning. I injured myself playing on a trampoline with my 4 an 6 year old nieces (I know, foolish) on 10/1, but their dad, my brother-in-law died very tragically on 9/2 and they wanted me to jump with them, so cut me some slack.  I was registered and training to run in the NYC marathon tomorrow. My sister and friend are still racing. GO, KATE AND CHRIS!! 

Let's just say it's not been my favorite fall. 

 SO---- anyway. I'm 4 days post-op.  Been to PT once. On crutches and in a brace and need to spend 8-10 hours a day with my knee in the continuous passive motion machine, which I've gotten up to 80 degrees and need to work towards 90.

Today, my 30 minutes will be 4 five minute sessions of leg extensions, leg flexions and trying to spark alive my quad muscle by flexing it with quad sets, plus 10 minutes of upper body with some weights.  I think I'm still a bit too sore to get into ab work, but hopefully by some time next week. It is unbelievable to me how your quad simply DIES when your knee goes through trauma. DEAD DEAD DEAD.

 Looking forward to the challenge and its banter to keep myself committed to rehab and at least trying to focus on upper body and core when I'm able.    

Just did my 40 minute bike ride, I updated my log and now here....but having trouble accessing the spreadsheet?

 What does everyone else have on store for today?

You go girl!  I am inspired by your strength and perseverance!

Hi Wingers!!!

Mmmm... me thinks of hotwings as I post that...

At work... almost finished with draws...yippee...
amazing how software technology has sped this process up over the years

Hoping to perhaps get a run in tomorrow morning... right before I start the gumbo...

Yep... Morgan City...

YOU???

Hey AW's....Hope everything is wheels up for all. 

I went for a quick little 2 mile jaunt prior to the FB game today.  I am going to jump on the TM or the trainer to watch TT and UT for about 45 minutes.

Hi fellow wingers!

Good going on all your workouts. You're inspirations. Aquinn, glad you're through surgery. That's real perseverance, doing your strength training inspite. Well done.

I suppose I can't count my grocery shopping today as a sport, though it seems like it sometimes--an endurance sport.

Tomorrow I get in a run. I'll check back then.
