That's FANTASTIC!!! 

I know how you feel -- I ran 10 miles for the 1st time in just over 20 years last October.  Then I did a 1/2 mary and am signed up for a 20 miler next month.   Keep up the awesome running!  Bet you'll be doing a marathon before the end of the year!

Please remember that this month, the Challenge "reporting week" will end on Saturdays.

Please update your Google Spreadsheet with your progress by Saturday night (your local time). I'll post the team standings on Sunday.

If you have trouble using the spreadsheet, please let your team captain know so that he/she can help.

Have a great weekend! And don't forget to SWIM, BIKE, RUN!

GLUB GLUB! I nearly lost my bloody contact in the pool tonight. I am such a NUGGET!   Imagine trying to find a BLUE contact in a BLUE swimming pool! MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.   Got in another 1.99 miles. Don't ask me why I didn't just go 2.00. Well my plan is only 24 minutes so meh, that's it.  That's why.  Had a marvellous swim after I fought some people for part of a lane.  Pants. The lot oh them. Playing around in the lane while I'm standing there looking like a right with my pull, goggles and cap hoping they'll take the hint that I'm actually there to SWIM!!!!!  I never have the guts to say anything. 

 

Ok, blabber over. I hope you are all having a spiffy weekend and running hard....with scissors of course!

Here's what I do when the kids try to take over my lane. (Note: if they were actually SWIMMING, I wouldn't mind - But they're playing catch with a ball, or jumping from the deck onto kickboards, etc... Plus, there are OTHER lanes that are OPEN, so I have no clue why they feel compelled to hang out into my lane....)

1) I ask them nicely if they can move to an open lane.
2) If they don't move - if their parents are there (not likely - they tend to use the pool as daycare substitute), I ask the parents to ask them to move.
3) If they still don't move, then I TELL them to move.
4) If they still don't move, I just swim over 'em.

Of course, if we get to #4 on the list, I'm generally so aggravated that my heart rate is up, and all that adrenaline does wonders for my swim times.

Lynne --

This part of your post:
Got in another 1.99 miles. Don't ask me why I didn't just go 2.00. Well my plan is only 24 minutes so meh, that's it.


- was sandwiched in between your all comments about swimming.....

So I sat here, wondering how you could SWIM 1.99 miles in 24 minutes!!!! (At 12 min/mile - that would have been a world record pace.)

Then I realized -- you were probably talking about running.

LOL!

Morning scissors   Hope you are all having a wonderful running Saturday. I have a free trainer session at my new gym.  I am looking forward to getting measured and comparing it to when I was last measured, be interesting to see how much has changed.  Then I have another 24 minute run...phew.

Due to laziness and not wanting to deal with the logistics necessary, I didn't ride to my race this morning.  As such, I actually had to do a warm up (instead of letting the ride take care of it)  So with the warm up and cool down, I went well over today's planned time.  I am right on pace for the month now.

Lets keep it going everyone, I don't want to have a Patriots avatar next month

I did a shorter run today and I'm planning on running again tomorrow for a longer run.  Right now, I'm at 22% for the month.  A little behind, but I know I'll catch up.  I know we can win this month!

No more runs for me this week, but I'm right on target.

Got out today for a 27 mile ride; nice tailwind on the way out, but, of course, it was an annoying head wind on the way back. 15.9mph ave out, 12.4mph back!

Tomorrow is a well needed rest day (nothing but a mani/pedi on the schedule
