Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge (Page 27)

afternoon...

nice job Erica...7 miles is huge...hope you prayed for me while at church.

Lisa...way to get in a swim before or during??? work. what do you do for a living?

TROPICAL STORM????  was it windy on your ride Cheri? or are you in the calm before the storm? and did you say there was nothing but sunshine? thats the crazy thing about living near the coast...those storms just come bellowing in....be careful...I need my running coach in tip top form!

hope the rest of you are having a nice Sunday.....this is the half way mark...are you where you need to be in all your goals?

I know Im not! someone push me in the pool...will go tomorrow. make sure to remind me! with your foot! haha

well I had to go to my next post....#5000. did I lose all my pretty colorful stars???

drove over to the East Bay and parked in Sunol...rode towards Ohlone...and Geary. Was a gradual climb...then some rolling hills then a few grunt climbs...then a screamer down hill....and back up to the other side...just before you drop down to go to Hwy 80 we turned around and went back....that means we had a few hills to climb up...then some down...rolly pollies...then a nice flat 1/2 mile to the jeep....

had a bowl of oatmeal and bagel/w peanut butter/banana and honey for breakfast

about 30 minutes in had an expresso gu

another 45 minutes in had half a sandwich I had packed for each of us and stored next to my bladder of my camelbak. it was yummy...washed it down with much water and gatorade. 30 minutes down the road ...the dh pulled out the cliff shots...we split the package. quite a bit of food...but I never felt tired in my legs....so it seemed to do its job.

tonight we are grilling some carne asada that is marinading...will add some organic black beans, with some refried beans...cheese, fresh picked tomatoes, grilled onions and some avocados....wrapped in a whole wheat and or flour tortilla....and either a nice glass of wine or a margarita.

\HAPPY BELLLLLLLLLLLATED BIRTHDAY BILL! hope you had a nice day!

is this you pictured below getting ready to go mow????

 great idea if you are needing (time in the saddle) - what better then to mow the lawn for an added hour or two. 

did you have a bagel before???

way to get in a ride before I have had my first cup of coffee....sorry it didnt go as planned. Could it be...thats because it is Monday!??? you have a better day John!

today is a swim day for me! hoping to get in a good hour to hour and a half of swimming. then I may go and meet my husband at his work and go for a ride....lets go team...time to pick up the tempo....we are past the half way mark....are you half way to reaching your goals for the month...if so...keep it up and surpass your goals...and if not...GET BUSY...you dont want to be trying to catch up the final days...do you??? gooo SOS goooo!

sure thing~ here are a few more to think about:

no more car shopping:

if you have issues with your tires and get tired of the standard wheels...why not do this:

or if you have a child and want to keep them near by:

 he does not look happy does he! I wouldnt either if my tire was tweaked like that!

do they have a bike that I can ride in the pool instead of swimming laps? if so...I want one!!!!

Hey everyone!  Just checking in from soggy Florida.  It's been a funny 24 hours -- from awakening yesterday under a Tropical Storm warning to sleeping through Claudette last night.  She made landfall right over top of my head, and I didn't hear a thing!  I'll take storms like this one anytime -- much easier than some of our previous encounters.

 With all of this rain, though, I think I'll take a rest day today. 

What's for lunch?  I was craving cold pizza, but ended up with a salad and yogurt instead...

Hi team - my cycling is on track for the challenge... my running is a little behind but the good news is Im doing sessions so I only need to run a little regularly to hit my goal

Left over carne asada burrito with black refried beans, organic black beans, artichoke jalapeno dip, home grown fresh picked and chopped up tomatoes, grilled onions and avocadoes....on a whole wheat tortilla and a small tupperware of fresh strawberries for my sweet tooth! ....and now Im hungry again. looks like Lasagne for dinner...what are ya'll having?

tomato sandwich? no wonder it was left over! I like tomatoes...but not the only thing...was that all that was on your sandwich Bill?

and again...HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! did you get any cool presents? a new bike or anything!

lambertjeff - 2009-08-17 12:41 PM Good afternoon everyone! Hope everyone is having an ok monday!

Going on a run after work then dinner at my moms house! mmmm

have a nice run...but more important....dinner...what's for dinner? Im starving Marvin!

just like my avatar...i went for a swim but did not follow with the bike and run

after my swim I want to eat everything and anything that gets in front of me! hoping the husband comes home soon - the dog looks scared! haha

seriously...I have a lasagne waiting and Im not sure I can wait much longer...dont want to make something unhealthy like nachos to munch on before he arrives....why does swimming make me sooooooooooo HUNGRY!? running and biking sure does not have this effect!!!

good job Cat....you were sick recently...hoping you are back to feeling strong and healthy! way to stay on track...

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Tuesday is Torture Dan day for me, so I'm not too sure about the "happy" part.  We'll see...
