sicone - 2009-11-01 2:12 PM Time for a proper Hi from me.

Since I'm still very new to all this and my first Tri is in April, I'm currently working on my weakest discipline - running.  Therefore I've put down 13 running sessions (which is the exact amount my plan calls for and will make sure I don't miss any) and 12 strength sessions.

Completed my first run today even though it was raining as I didn't want to let the team down on the very first day!


Way to go!

  My first planned session is tomorrow.

Hi all! I'm so excited to be doing this challenge. I've taken close to a year off from competition after hitting a major burnout in 2008, when I did my first half ironman in August and then went right into marathon training, doing the Goofy Challenge (1/2 marathon Saturday, full marathon Sunday) in January of this year. I think I've finally gotten my fitness mojo back and I'm ready to hit the ground running...literally. I've done a few challenges in the past and they were great motivators, and I'm looking forward to an inspiring month.

I feel like I'm starting as a couch potato, so this challenge will be good for me in terms of simply logging miles and pool meters, without judging myself on time. That's the first step back, I think. =-)

Welcome all!  We are still in need of a name.  So far "Turkey Trotters" has been thrown out there.  We could also be the "Stuffed Turkeys"  Suggestions anyone?

Hi gang!  I like Stuffed Turkeys too!  Looking forward to a great month.  I also came off a loss last month.  Let's WIN! 

I think my goal will be 12 swims (my weakest sport) & 12 runs (marathon training)

Hi Everyone!

I like the stuffed Turkeys name too!  My goal is just one... I am just coming back from DNFing at Ironman WI in September so I am still having difficulties getting on with my life.  I am signed up for the Disney Marathon in January!  I see I am not alone   so my goal reflects that.... 16 run sessions for the month.  I need lots of encouragement.  I have had a really hard time getting back on my feet and moving on from not finishing my goals this year.  Please keep at me... I should be doing 4 runs a week or there abouts.  Good luck everyone!

YOU CAN DO THIS, Pam.   Even if kyou did not reach your goals the way you wanted, at least you did more than you would have without any goals.  Now just focus forward.

Here is a smaller version of the stuffed turkey.


Does anyone want to be team captain? I would do it but I'm away a bit this month.

You also have my vote.  Does anyone know how to put everyone's name and link to their blogs on the graphic?  I don't, but that was really handy when sending out inspires and such.  The person who did it on my last challenge team is on a different team this month.   If no one knows how to do it, I could contact him and ask for instructions.

Well Sorry.  I am not getting it to work.  I have the links to everyone's log page, the link to the spreadsheet and the image,  all on my log page..... but I cannot get it to gel into one nice cohesive image.  Sorry.

Here are the links if you want to copy them to your blog.  They are links to blog/log pages rather than the profile page.

Pam I remember reading your race report... I'm so sorry about your DNF. I risk the same thing. I'm doing IMOO this September and I'm sorta the unlikely candidate. I'd love to hear any advice you might have! I look forward to hearing about your Marathon!

Stuffed Turkeys is alright by me and crea0029 would make a fine leader.

I'm figuring out my goal right now. I think It's just going to be X # of trainer sessions. I wanted to start today, but my legs are a little fried (DOMS) from yesterdays 15k.

Thank you for your comment. People say Ironman doesn't change you; they lied. I would LOVE to share and answer any questions you may have.   I have a lot of secrets and advice so just let me know and we will catch up! I will be at the finish line and around the course all day to cheer you on and sign up for 2011.

Hi team   Just got myself added to the spreadsheet.  I didn't do too well on the last 2 challenges I did but don't intend to have that happened a 3rd time!

 

Started off today with a swim.....

I tried to cut and paste the turkey image onto my dashboard and all that shows up is a box with an X in it.  What am I doing wrong?  Perhaps I should stop fussing with my turkey picture and get out there and get a run in!
