kaqphin - 2008-01-30 7:55 PM Dee - you arent swimming????

 

My work schedule and the pool schedule don't mix.... *sniff sniff.... WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! * That's been the problem this month. By the time I get out of work, there is no more lap swimming. It's all swim teams and water aerobics. It's been incredibly frustrating!

Aaaw... at least the pavement is always available for running....?

January is just pure pants. It really is. I was SO looking forward to completing 30,000. Not only for other people but for myself!  It would really have pushed me further than ever before. It's PANTS!  

I won't be able to take part in February at all because I've been advised not to train (Ie SWIM BIKE OR RUN) for at least 3 weeks!!!!!!     NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I won't be able to compete in my 10K either in 2 weeks.  I am CRUSHED!

Ok. Where the HELL is the chocolate!??????????????????????????

My rant is over. I movez on now. 

I'll get one more swim in tomorrow. I'm already at a PB for monthly total meters.

On Friday I trade my swim suit for running shoes for the February challenge. I don't think I saw any fish on the team (running team 2).

Scot, sorry you are sick again. Take care of yourself and let the rest of us make up your meters. 

I guess I am so run down I need some r*e*s*t.  Whatever that is.  My boss says that's why my infection keeps coming back.  So I am going to lay low for a bit. Don't know if I'll be able to keep myself down however.   Grrrr.  

Kendra - so sorry you are not feeling well!

of course moving books counts as a core workout!

feel better soon

Sorry you're also not feeling well Kendra!  It really does suck. I am sending you some get well soon vibes  

Wow all these illnesses... maybe we need to spray the thread with disenfectant and echinacea...

Seriouslyt girls... hope yuo feel better soon!

x2!

LOL

does that make Theraflu the new Nyquil?

Hi all,

I got in my last swim of the month, another 2000m. This brings my total to 18,400m and 115% This is by far the most I've ever swum in a month. I'm shifting over to running for the February challenge. It's been real fun swimming with y'all. See ya!

I have completed my last swim for the month, but unfortunately, I am 1250 yards short of meeting my goal of 22000 yards. Final tally=20,750 yards. Too many distractions and too little time to get a swim in yesterday   I have updated my yardage on the spreadsheet and I finished at 94%.  Not bad, but I really wanted to get this done.

It was a great challenge and it really pushed me to get back in the pool. I am now going to move into a more balanced training plan and try to get back to running now that my achilles isn't screaming anymore!!!

Oh, I have also signed up at a new gym, LA Fitness and it has a great saltwater lap pool!  I completed my swim there this morning and I had it all too myself!  NICE!

Thanks for all you the support Fishies, it was great fun!!!

I want to say well done to everyone who swam this month!  I still feel bad I didn't make my goal. Of all the challenges this was the one I wanted to finish   Oh well. I cannot help being sick.   But it's still pants.

To Dee and Beth for working SO hard in everyone's progress and the reports and graphs and everything else. You two are in my own words fandabidozi!  I had such a blast chatting with everyone here and for all the inspires!!!!!!   It's been great.

I think I might sign up for the run challenge but do a small amount, I like having the motivation to keep going and I love meeting up with new folks!!  

So thank you again everyone and GO FISHIES!!!!! 

THANK YOU

FISHIES

FOR A GREAT
MONTH OF
SWIMMING!!!!!!!

You guys rock!

Funky-Chrono-Monkeys of the Frozen Cinder Tundra – Captain Bluejack
Notice any family resemlence?

maybe the only thing we know for sure is this

what I do know, is that this team kicked some monkee booty!  Awesome job of inspiring each other and keeping things going!

Flying Fish – Captain Kendra
Well, the Talking Tilapia are at it once again (ahem, yes I know the blisters have a higher post count – LOL) – ok, back on track; According to team captain “That's right we don't lose, but we might be loose.  LOL” , hmmmm, now that’s food for thought????

Yeah, and hmmm, does anyone else find this disturbing?

This team has done an awesome job of inspiring each other – they’ve been through sickness, broken down cars, latex vs silicone and well, they still keep swimming!

Team Ride Lots – Captain Scott
Ahhhh Kenj has learned well from Master Waterdog66

Eat  your Loblolly and ride your trainer while visiting BT and you too shall be a Master – muwahahaha!
And I still continue to be intrigued by Loblolly, how do you pronounce it??? Well, in case you’re wondering it’s: Lob, as in Blob, and Lolly as in Lollypop – there’s some very interesting history here, there’s still time to learn about the origins of Loblolly!

Loving Every Mile – L.E.M. - Captain Lisa
We have the Boston Marathon, traveling for work (like seriously! Tokyo!!) to the longest run ever!  These people LOVE TO RUN!!!!!

Who’s your Marmadaddy? – Captain Sal
Judi was the first Power Puff girl to run across the finish line w00t w00t!  Apparently Sal and Kendra have been negotiating regarding a certain pic that was promised to Kendra by Sal in November?????? In fact, he somehow got the Power Puff girls to post their after some discussion as to what the ‘punishment’ would be for the loser of the challenge within a challenge. (wow Sal, I gotta hand it to you, you know how to work it! LOL). Here’s some inspiration for them

Dexter had a most excellent challenge, complete with the Freezeroo #4 Hearnish 10K and the discovery that V8 tastes good with vodka

You ain’t heavy,  you’re my blister – LOL

Scrambled Legs – Captain 1for1
Wow, some pics in the Scrambled Legs thread that I may never recover from – LOL (yes, me) -   yeah, well you have to check them out on your own –
Talk about some true dedication, in spite of a broken arm – John exceeds more than 100% of his goal! 


I think the  spirit of this team is summed up by this one quote!

“THIS IS WHY I LOVE CHALLENGES... New Friends, Motivation, Meeting a goal that I never thought I would see me set, and finding ways to push and know I can push harder. “

all we know, is that they are not a bunch of dancing chickens!

There were some treats offered

There were folks that were able ride in spite of a hangover, some even put in a 4 hour drainer ride
hmmmm, I guess this team has had plenty of T.I.T.S!
yeah, sooooooo – not going to even try and describe what came up when I did a google search on T.I.T.S - LOL

I hope you all enjoyed the challenge as much as Dee and I did!

drum roll please!

and the winner is???????
