Gabbing Gobblers - November Challenge (Page 27)

My hubby woke up early to go work out and I heard him (and the dog) so I went on ahead and got up too...
I should use this time to get everything together for today's adventure and not have to yell at 6yo for being late (when usu it's my fault)

Let's see... given I had no race season this year (dang knee)... I'm not quite sure what I'm going to need for a SB brick without coming home....

I do know that I will need a PBJ being as that we will be riding thru the lunch hour...

hmmm???

How would you dress if the weather was supposed to range from 55 to 65 with 12to18mph winds?

Yep, we're gettin' a storm tomorrow...

THis may be the end of riding outdoors for a while...

Good morning, Gab-Gobs!
Heather... I'm with you on the early wake-up. I finally got my butt out of bed for a morning workout! Got a great run in... 4.8 miles in 45 min. My best run this offseason. I'm eyeing up a 12-12:45 spin class at the Y today. Hopefully work will cooperate.

I know everyone's been sharing some playlists recently. So I'd like to post another informal survey question... Name your 3-5 favorite songs to work out to.

Have a great day, Gobblers!

Good morning, Gobblers!  It's rainy and a little chilly today.  Hopefully I can get some time to go to the gym and run on the treadmill.  Not ready to run outside in this weather...

Hope you all have a great day!

That's a fun question!

Here are a few of my favorites.  They always pick me up if they come up on my iPod in the middle of a workout.

1. "Jump Around" - House of Pain (what can I say, I was a UW Badger!)
2. "Wish" - Nine Inch Nails
3. "Perfect Drug" - Nine Inch Nails
4. "Firestarter" - Prodigy

Are people at work or off today for Veteran's Day?

I'm a grad student, so I'm at work.  My husband works for a credit card company and he is off.  He is coming downtown to have lunch with me (very rare), so that will make it better.

I'm at work You'd think working for a bank that I'd be off... no such luck! Here some off the top of my head:

1. How We Operate - Gomez
2. Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger
3. Cowboy - Kid Rock
4. Low Rider - Korn
5. Jail Break - ACDC

Federal employee here, so I've got the day off. Not too much scheduled, but I suppose I need to clean up around here a bit. Other than that I've got a 30 min tempo run on the schedule which I'm looking forward to in a few hours. Hope everyone is having a good day!

We never have a day off around here . My daughter still isn't feeling quite up to going to school, so I had to skip my bike ride today. Hopefully the weather isn't too too bad after the storm passes tomorrow so I can get outside one more time.

Well I'll be sending all the good-weather mojo I can over your way so you can get out there. Best of luck, and I hope your daughter is feeling better soon too!

Good weather mojo toppage!

I wish I had the day off.  It looks nice outside

The weather is really yucky here, so it's not too big of a loss to be working today.

I hope the weather is nicer for you on your next day off to make up for it!

I got my tempo run for the week done today. The humidity was a little worse than I was expecting so I overheated a little bit, but it was definitely a good workout. Easy 3 miler and ST session tomorrow will put me at/over 50% on the month for both!

I like so many songs it is hard to pick 3 but here are ones I turn to a lot:

Meuvelo/Cruz Martinez.....very high energy and makes me want to just go....video is here

Lose Yourself/Eminem.......steady beat with just the right foot speed...gets me in my HTFU mode

Free Bird/Lynyrd Skynyrd..........9 minutes of guitar love and the tempo picks up....great for the end of a loooong run

Off to the Y.  Need to get yesterday's run done and it is too dark and cold outside for that now.  Catch you all on the flypside!

I "bailed" on the office around 3pm.  Got a 5+ mile "walk/jog" in and no probs with the knee's.  Yeah!!! PT is working.  I don't see how I'll do a HM in 10 days, so I signed up for the Ft. Lauderdale HM in February.  Long beach weekend as a motivator.

Glad the knee is doing well.  A beach weekend sounds like a great idea....my HM is also in Feb at the beach but it will be frozen since it's on Cape Cod  LOL!

Congrats Tom!  You're moving right along!

I'll second , er third that!! Thanks Dee! I am sure these challenges are a lot of work and I know I don't know how to set them up but really appreciate that they are there!!

Good to hear the knee is cooperating

Swim #8 of the month is in the books!  Short session but a good one.

strong work!!! 8 swims in 11 days.....you must have gills!

You're welcome.

Do I get to tase you now?

One of my coworkers suggested cattle prodding someone today. I thought this was really funny because she doesn't know how much I *heart* cattle prods.
