Sure thing, Mark. You're in.

I am going to pledge 18,000 yards.  I am going to be getting much better acquainted with my pool in the next couple of weeks.

RedVette-  I would be game to swim with you once a week or so if you are interested...

Alright my goal is 19,000 yards, i know I could do more, but with the holidays and travel, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Well, since it seems I have the least impressive looking goal, I'll take that responsibility if no one else steps up. I feel like I should be doing more, just don't wanna overdo it. So this will make me feel like I'm doing a little more for the team.

Jeff, we are all at various stages of fitness, that's why the challenges are based upon Goal Attainment vs raw numbers. The last swim challenge I did my goal was 40,000; this time it's less than half that because I haven't been swimming since Aug 1. Goals should be realistic, not ego driven. Don't feel bad - feel glad you're part of our smackadelic team!

Thanks for stepping up and taking the Captain role. You're it!

Thanks for the affirmation Renee...I appreciate that...it's not really my ego, just don't wanna feel like I'm not contributing enough. But yeah I agree, it's the percentage, not the number...so thanks, that makes me feel better.

OK everyone, so email your training logs to me I guess, what, every Saturday? That'd be the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st. Since two of those days are ______-eve's, maybe we should do it on Fridays? Idunno...whatever works better for y'all. My email address is [email protected], just put "Swim Challenge Update" or something similar in the subject.

Thanks all, looking forward to kickin' some butt!!!

GO FORCE!!! (And uhh...GO KNIGHTS (for those of us who are UCF fans) in our first ever bowl game this saturday!!!)

Jeff, can I email my training to you on Monday mornings? I generally do not get online during weekends.

FYI, in the role of challenge administrator, I collect the numbers from team captains every Monday throughout the day and I post the updated spreadsheet end of day Monday or Tuesday morning (depending on how quickly I get the team numbers).

I'm changing my goal from meters to yards. I thought the Y pool was meters, but my coach tells me its yards. So 30,000 (yikes!) YARDS.

*begin theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey*

After 4 months of swim slacking, I will reenter the pool tomorrow, thus beginning my part of the Florida Force journey towards humiliating, crushing, squashing and vanquishing our opponents.

May the Force be with you. The game is ON!

Yup, Mondays are good. So let's make that for everyone. Monday to Sunday is the training week, and then previous week's training logs are due on Monday by...let's say 8pm.

So this coming Monday I should be getting the logs for Dec 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Everyone, please let me know if you have any problems with this schedule and how you'll need to get me your log otherwise. Thanks!!

1400 yards in the bag today, 16200 to go...woohoo!

Boy was it hard to get motivated this morning. Woke up and the house was cold (wife called me a wuss). Sent the kids off to school cursing about the cold then and had to make a cup of coffee for procrastination, err motivation. Finally got suited up went to the Y, did a 25 min run first and then I was ready for the pool!

Come-on Team FL Force lets do this thing 100%...

Good job, Don. My schedule calls for a swim today - I've got my gear and will head to the pool after work. Bought new goggles at lunchtime.

Now to figure out how to get my 70 min run in... guess I shouldn't have slept in.

Oh, that's okay Renee, don't worry about it. In fact, why don't you run instead of swim?

In my experience, teammate smack talk is only used as encouragement....right Sass???? LOL

Training note...don't get in the pool when mean aqua-cize instructors are preparing to have a class. My gym runs a class at 6pm...they chased me out of the pool at 550 so they could "let the pool settle".

Let the pool settle???? Exactly WTF'ing hell is that?!?!?!?!?! Sorry, still raving from my St. A's rebuff yesterday!!!

Anyway, I only got to do 350 out of my 400 meters scheduled for last night. So I'll do 50 extra tonight, but damn, what a load of bull poopies!!!!

Renee, if that bed is so comfy why don't you take a nap at noon? Save your energy for your marathon training. I'm sure your teammates on the Florida Farce will be able to pick up the slack.

I agree. And it's getting dark in the evenings so early now, you'd be better off just toddling home, making another nice cuppa and waiting for Mr. Sorighthemakesyourtoescurl to land on your sleek and shiny head. No need to swim.

SMACK!
