November "Your Choice" Challenge - Team 2!! (Page 3)

Erin,

You could always get up early and hit the pool to get a swim in before the bike and run.....but seriously, just enjoy the day and look ahead--you will always have this memory and can look forward to building a lot more.  Maybe the first race jitters will be a thing of the past then!  Try to find the silver lining.....and be sure to post a race report so we can all read it!  Good luck!

Lynne and I have a 10k trail run tomorrow, which I believe is the first 10k for either of us!

Good morning Team,

Just wanted to say a good luck to Lynn and MedusaAnn in their 10K. You guys will do great!! i have been busy the last few days and will get my logs updated this afternoon. I hope everyone is having a good weekend. We are having some good weather here in OH for the weekend not too hot and not too cold...I sound like "Baby Bear". Been spending too much time reading to the Grand-kids anyway have a great day!!!

Hey team!

Lynne and I did the trail run--we had an absolutely gorgeous day and it was loads of fun.  For me.....Lynne had some early stomach trouble but remained a trooper and ended running an extra couple of k's!  Oops.  I will let her tell the full story.  Trail running is really fun, I am hooked and looking forward to the next one.  We didn't have any trees to climb over today, but there were big puddles, a lot more hills, and some fun places to jump down a couple of feet.  It was near the airport and there were huge planes taking off constantly, as well.  If you've never tried trail running, I highly recommend it.  The best thing for me today was achieving my one-hour goal (exactly, if you can believe it)!  I've never run a 10k so am feeling good about that in general.  Have a great remainder of the weekend.  I hope to find time to do more inspiring next week, you do the same, ya hear??

Good afternoon all,

Leslie and Lynn, great work on the trail race. And Congrats Leslie on your goal being met!!! I hope everyone else is doing well and having fun this weekend.

Here are my stats so far for the month....the Cross-fit is 5x's (5 workouts)

Stats for this "week":

Swim 1 hr 54 min (approx 2.5 miles/4800 meters)

Bike 2 hours

Run 18.3 miles

I believe that is a good start!  Being away for a week will challenge my monthly stats so I need to front load them now!

It would probably be easier if everyone would come here and post there weekly for me on Sunday and I will put them on the spreadsheet and post it all together.  I am having a time going to each persons logs and them some are doing it by days but the totals show me miles etc so I have to go thru and count each day.  Hope that wont be a problem for anyone.

Thanks.....still working on getting all total but will have them soon

Hope I didnt miss anything but here is what we have so far

Great job everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I am late. I had one of those weekends when I basically just came home to sleep.

Swim 1x (16%)

Bike 82 miles (68.3%)

Run 9 miles (15%)

Core 1x (12.5%)

Yoga 0 (0%)

Seems like everyon is off to a great start. I think I will be raising my Bike Goal to 170.

Great job, everyone!  Here's where I am at -

Run - 60 miles (23.79 miles done = 39.65%)
Swim - 28,000 yards (7,600 yards done = 27.14%)
Bike - 120 miles (25 miles done = 20.3% done)
Pilates - 8 sessions (2 sessions done = 25%)
Strength - 8 sessions (1 session done = 12.5%)
Stretch - daily  (7/11 days so far)

So....I'm doing pretty well.  Need to focus on the bike mileage and stretching every day.  I'll get there, though!

Race report? How was your first race? Do tell.

I volunteered at a duathlon in Prospect park yesterday (Trying to build up some race karma). It was quite the experience.

Sorry to hear about that, fellow Donk!  I hope your down time ends quickly. 

I am here. I'm also in so much pain so I may have to lay low for the next couple of days but my main thing is to bike this week and strength train etc.

Lynn, I hope you are feeling better. Take care of yourself and you guys did really good over the weekend. By the by....I like your leg avatar...is that the flag of Scotland? My hubby thinks we should all wear flags....I told him he isn't allowed to hover over my shoulder and read anymore    Seriously though, take care of yourself. Have a nice week.
