5 for Fighting (Page 3)

I'm glad that most people are liking the Google Spreadsheet idea.  I've tried to add everyone in our group that had a public email address and those that have PM'd me with one.   If I missed anyone or if your address isn't public, please PM me and I'll add you as an editor.

Also, I (or any of us for that matter) can easily add an extra week column if the reporting periods turn out to have 5 weeks.

All about the google spreadsheet, BRILLIANT!!

As was the kickass swim I had today. What'd you do?  Hmm? 

Eventhough I need to do 4 workouts over the weekend to catch the hell up. But I still liked my swim.

Is it the plan to enter the info from week#1 on Sunday night?  I'm assuming a week runs from Monday through Sunday (well, Thursday through Sunday for this first week).  I like the Google spreadsheet too, much easier than having to send your info to one person and putting the stress on him/her to log it all each week.  Cool idea! 

Today is the greatest. Gorgeous sunshine, fall is peaking, light wind, just beautiful. So...it looks like I've got to fit in....

- sleep. done. 
- ride - probably on the trainer in front of Michigan / Michigan State
- sleep. Heh.
- run - on paint creek trail, late afternoon
- IMFL watching - go Jeff, Rick, Mike, T, Joel, Stan and everyone else!!
- food - I've got a mac-daddy prime rib raring to go. Get it?

Today IS the greatest.

Man, these sit-ups / crunches are killing me.  I can tell I haven't done any specific abdominal exercises for about a thousand years.  It's sure going to be easier once I get through this intial week of pain!  I did get my run/walk in this morning and since it's cold and raw and really windy out, I'm off to ride the trainer again.  Mountain biking tomorrow!

I'll add her to our Google sheet. Also, in case you're wondering, we can export the Google sheet to an .xls or .csv file so we can give it to Dee.

I'm not sure why you can't view it when you're not logged on.  I can view your sheet when I'm not logged on.  Also, in order to allow editing, you need to add "collaborators" by adding their email addresses.  Then these collaborators can edit the document.   

Yeah Karen (madkat) rocks...good to have her on our team!!! 

I have to say, Max, you're the reason I even joined this challenge in the first place... I was visiting your log and saw your goals.  What's up with the "one kiss"? 

Since I just joined, and I've been a total slug for the last two weeks, all I have to report so far is that I've done 25 ball crunches (which was quite an accomplishment, I'll add).  But I have a 12k race tomorrow, so that should get my run numbers moving.  And I'm riding my bike to the race and back, so that'll help my ride numbers too.

Thanks guys! 

Heh!  OK, so it ends up being somewhat more than that.  At least I'm reminded to get as many as possible.  When you're an old geezer, you take advantage of things like that, before you're too old to remember how to do it. 

Have fun in the race this weekend!!

Hows everyones weekend training gone.

I'm afraid I missed getting my best chance at a PB (by miles) and have not done any of the core workouts yet. I promise to make a start on them tomorrow. Apart from that I have had a great weekend. Clear dry day in Scotland so I was able to get outside on the bike today and have done half my bike distance already. 3 turbo sessions should take care of the remaining distance so the weather can do what it likes now.

I was just wondering it is ONLY one kiss.   

I kicked booty in my race, but only because Eric paced me and forced me to keep a crazy tempo!  I'm glad it's over. 

Nice workouts, David...Michigan has been delightful this weekend....gorgeous fall weather. I've got 3 workouts down, one to go. Unless I get distracted by a beer.  Or a hot chick. Or a hot chick bringing me a beer.... or...

Great job this weekend guys and gals! Way to get the workouts and beer drinking in- there's room for both in a balanced training plan - right Rick?

Congrats on your race madkat!

Pulch- I talked to my parents and they said they saw people out in t-shirts (Scots are hardy folk!). Congrats on getting those bike miles done!

I've had a great weekend. Temps are about 10 degrees above normal here- it was 95 degrees yesterday- yikes! So I got my training done early. Saturday was an 8 mile run and today I did a transition workout with my tri club- 0.5 mile run flollwed by a 4.5 mile bike- repeat 5 times trying to keep your transitions fast. Fun stuff!

I've still got a touch of runners knee so I'm going to see a friend for PT tomorrow

I'm still unclear about the spreadsheet but I'll read back through the posts and figure it out.
