Expert  1157    Tremonton, Utah |  Subject: RE: Kamikaze GeckosAs of this morning, I am at 103% of goal for the month overall! Happy to help others along with my extra distance. We're gonna win this thing, aren't we! 6.7 mile run this morning put me over the top. We'll see what happens the rest of the month, although, I'll be on vacation and actually traveling some of the remaining days so it will be difficult to get workouts in, but I'll do my best. New GOAL --- 110% all categories! GO GECKO's!

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos Did a little over an hour in the pool today. Only 46 minutes of swimming left. Shouldn't be a problem to get. I think I'll end up a little over with the race this weekend. |

Veteran 290 Texas | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos Gecko's Congrats to everyone close to or exceeding goals WTG!!!!! Today will be a rest day because - well I'm tired - but more because I have my sweet daughter, no baby sitter, and a regular church commitment.

I will accomplish this by: Swim - Thurs eve - 45 min, Fri eve - 45 min, Sat morn - 45 min (Monday AM if needed) Bike - Sat morn - 1.5 hrs, Sun morn 1 hr (bike to pool on Sat morn and then home Run - THurs eve minimum of 20 (may finish), Monday eve if needed I will reach 100 - YAHOO!! AND I've been wanting to exceed 400 training minutes in a week and this week, looks like I'll do that - double Yeah! NOW - if that dumb dog would stop barking from 1am - 3am so I can sleep better. Go Gecko's |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos As the Challenge organizer, I get people asking me about revising goals due to injury. I evaluate the circumstances, and make a "ruling." But this month, I'm the one having problems. So I'm going to ask YOU guys what you think. Here's the deal: My shoulder has been bothering me when I swim. (This started back around October, because I went all out on a Swim Challenge. My doctor thought it was a tendonitis. However, it's never really gone away.)... I was pretty much OK at the beginning of the month. The shoulder was a little "tweaky" but I figured I'd be able to swim OK. However, for the last 2 weeks, it's been hurting pretty much nonstop. And swimming has been making it worse. It's bad enough that I've been taking ibuprofen for it. And I HATE taking pain-killers! The last time I swam was June 17th. And the shoulder has stayed pretty bad since then. (Although doing some yard work after that sure didn't help.) Stretching doesn't help. Working the opposing muscles hasn't seemed to help, either. So here are the options, the way I see it. Let me know which one you think I should do: 1) HTFU and just go swim until I hit the goal. 2) Prorate the goal. I swam for 17 days out of 30. So drop June 18-30, and reset the goal to 60% of the original value. 3) Drop the last 2 workouts that I had planned for this week, and revise the goal to leave these two workouts out. What do you guys think? I'll go with majority opinion. Dee |

Master 1980 Waukesha, WI | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos No sense causing more injury. I am fine with #2. I believe you have been mentioning it in your blogs so I am sure everyone will be fine with it. Hope you can figure it out. Big fat bummer for ya. Rest, rest, rest that shoulder. |

Veteran 290 Texas | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos #'s 2 or 3 would be my vote. Doesn't seem worth it to cause further injury. I guess if someone emailed you the same circumstances what would you do for them? seems like you've always gone of the side of people taking care of themselves so go take care of yourself and adjust your goals!

I'd give someone else #2. BUT this is something that's been going on for months. So I've known that it's not a "happy shoulder." So I think there should be some sort of "penalty." How about this: I have 2 swim sessions left to hit my goal. So either I do those 2 swim sessions, OR I move the sessions to either the run or strength goals - and increase those goals. So I'd end up with: - Swim 2 sessions, or - Run 2 extra sessions, or - Strength train 2 extra sessions, or - Swim 1 session and Run 1 extra, or - Swim 1 session and Strength train 1 extra. I kind of like that better. It means I'll still have to put the TIME and EFFORT in - but not necessarily with swimming. Besides, running is my weakest sport. I could use some extra time with it. (Um, LOTS of extra time, actually.) LOL Edited by D001 2008-06-25 3:13 PM |

*sigh* But I feel like I'm cheating or something.  But ok, I've revised the goal as per option 2. (I just did this 2 minutes ago for someone on another team, too.) And I will try to reach 110% of the run and strength goals. Thanks, guys! Edited by D001 2008-06-25 8:26 PM |
