December's "Get Your A$$ On The Trainer" challenge! (Page 25)

Happy holidays to all the challengers!

Don't be getting THIS AMBITIOUS on the trainer! 

I got 15 minutes.  Now I've got a glass of eggnog (the good kind) in hand and I'm ready to get this party started!

Have a wonderful, joyous holiday!

(And don't forget those trainer rides.)

I got in a quick 10 minutes today for my last good chunk of bonus points.  I'm heading home to see the rents and am not taking my bike with me (I'm sure my butt will thank me later).

Hope everyone's holidays are great! 

This challenge has truly kept me going.  I've been hanging on to my bonus points by the skin of my teeth (5 minutes a day) for the past week or so while fighting what I thought was a really bad cold. Well, today I ended up with chills/ fever/ awful cough and a trip to urgent care. Apparently, my chest sounded like *&%@! because I bought myself blood work, peak flow testing and a CXR. No pneumonia thank goodness but they felt things were turning bacterial so put me on antibiotics. 

Now, I'm having trouble staying off of the trainer even if it's only 5 minutes because I'll lose my bonus points. Am I insane??? Never mind- I have to go ride- it's only 5 minutes  

5 minutes.
Socks- What did you do? Get the ice out and hopefully you will feel better in the morning..

Merry Christmas!

Yes, it seems to be a mild form of insanity!  Even 5 minutes keeps you from totally giving up for the entire month, and that was the point, to just hang in there and do something, anything!  Here are the standings at 11:30 PM, though I'm sure that a couple more will be checking in a bit later...

Merry Christmas!

I got in 30 minutes on the trainer before everyone woke up. I'm going to try to get in a few more minutes later today.

It's been hard to ride because I was having trouble hooking up my new computrainer.  I got it up and running so after Christmas I have a few days to catch back up to you folks in the lead :-)

Happy holidays everyone!!!

I got 10 minutes while the turkey was cooking.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Amazing how many people rode on Christmas day...you guys are awesome!!  Here is the spreadsheet as of 10:45 PM...

Merry Christmas!

I was running in the dark to look at the Christmas lights and I stepped in a hole.  Twisted my right ankle (which is my good ankle) and bruised/skinned my left knee.  I got out and biked yesterday and today.  Its OK to bike on apparently   Hurt a lot to swim today so I'm going to bike instead of run tommorrow....The funny thing is I explained teh challenge to my parents and said I wasn't giving up a whole months worth of bonus points and they actually understood

LOL Sue, glad you'r semi-OK.  Maybe after meeting me, your Dad figured we were all just a bunch of Tri-nuts and now that you've got him racing, maybe we can get him into a challenge too!

Well it might be an early night for me.  Getting up at 6:00 AM as my son is picking me up and heading off to Lowe's to get new tile flooring for the kitchen and bathrooms, and laminate wood flooring for the living/dining rooms.  Gonna spruce things up before we sell it in 2010!  Anyway, here's the results as of 10:30 PM...I catch any stragglers tomorrow before I head out.
