triOK's group - The best group - Closed (Page 22)

Well I completed my 3 sports today (including my first ever brick), and met my goals as follows:

S: 60 minutes (60 pledged)
B: 88 minutes (80 pledged)
R: 53 minutes (45 pledged)

For next week, I'll shoot for:

S: 70 minutes
B: 90 minutes
R: 50 minutes

Elizabeth - not sure there's a way to customize the training plan you downloaded.  I downloaded an IM plan last summer and couldn't figure it out.  You can copy certain workouts to other days I think, but that proved to be kind of hastle so I just tried to hit the plan weekly rather than what it called for on a daily basis. 

Does this group know how to knock out goals or what?  Bunch of studs and studette's!!  I'm all set with mine but I swapped my second bike workout for an extra run, not sure if that screws my goals up or not. 

I'm going to opt out of the challenge for the next few weeks, I'm 34 days away from a marathon and won't be focusing too much on the swimming and biking.  A February marathon in Albany, NY, what the heck was I thinking!!!  I'll keep up with reviewing everyone's posts though, so good luck to all of you.

Those elites are fun to watch huh?  Thanks on the well wishes for the marathon.  Keep your fingers crossed I stay healthy and am blessed with decent weather that day.  I'd hate all this training to go to waste!!

Curt, even though I am happy about the win, I really hate that I can not "share" with you all. I guess over all it is better for you to learn more about yourself, than for you to be able to learn more ( than you ever wanted to ) about me.  I do want to thank everyone who has given me encourgement so far, rather it be on this thread or the "inspire me" part of my logs. I hope by continuing to remind you of the swim attire I chosen to model, that I can continue to inspire all of you!

Curt...you REALLY dont want t see me do that. Just use it as a motivating factor...and leave it at that!!!

Gator 419... I am calling tomorrow to find out about beginner Yoga classes. Thanks for that little heads up.

All, Just finished my 25 minute run for today, I pushed it out a little harder today, and it felt really good. No problems with the foot. Had some really good music on the Ipod.  

I hope everyone's off to a great week.  Ya'll seriously inspire me.

I think that yoga builds greater strength than wieght training does. It focuses on building strength in all parts of your body, while learning to control your breath and mind. Keep it up, you won't regret it!

Wow, everyone did a great job of pushing thier limits last week.  I know I did, and took a much needed (and scheduled) rest day yesterday.  It is back at it now though.  Let's avoid a sophmore slump, and keep the training going strong.  This week and next week will be very important for developing an exercise "habit".  Keep up the motivation, and get those workouts in, even if they are shorter than you would like,  make it a priority.  (I say that more for myself than most of you!!)

BIG SHOUT OUT to Lynn for her first Half Marathon.  Way to go!!!

Have a great week everyone!

If you are feeling sick, I say skip it Get lots of rest and water, and get in your workouts tomorrow or the next day when you are feeling better.  I went through a cold a few weeks ago, and tried to come back too early, and paid for it by taking an extra few days off.  Don't kick yourself over it, just get better, and then get out there again.  YMMV.
