Gabbing Gobblers - November Challenge (Page 32)

I did!  It's about as tiring as actually doing the race!

I understand that.  I do better on Synthroid than Levothyroxin.  I end up pain almost 6x more per month for that even though my endocrinologist wants me on brand.  It's such a pain.

Hi team. I am home from work! yay! I talked to hubby today for a couple minutes--he made it to SOuth Africa, now he just has to get to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That means 2 more plane rides. Sooo glad it isn't me, LOL. I'm afraid I'm another one of the gabbers who didn't update the spreadsheet. That's ok, We're just luring the other teams into a false sense of security. we'll end on top, for sure!

Hey Amy, glad to hear your hubby made it to Africa OK. Hopefully the flights into the Congo are uneventful. No worries about the spreadsheet - you've definitely had a lot going on this week. Like you said... we'll get 'em in the end!

Glad the hubbie travels are going well. That is one looooonnnngggg trip.

You always end up on top, it seems

Good morning Team!
I must apologize, but I was not diligent in filling out the spreadsheet. I have now filled in my times and I am at 65% of goal! I agree that we are just giving the other teams a false sense of security!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I got a strength workout done this afternoon.  I'm going to try to go for a run a little later.  My right foot is having some PF problems today, so I've been stretching my calves and running my foot over a golf ball.  It's helping.  Anyone know of other ways to help stretch out PF?

tri specific ST - 2 reps of 15 of 10 exercises right out of STRENGTH TRAINING FOR TRIATHLETES....followed up by a nice 35 min tempo run.

im lovin' winter maintenance/base trng.  WHOOP!

Got in 20 minutes on the trainer this afternoon. It was more than zero, and about all I have in me. I did get a nap this morning. I really needed that after the late nights this weekend. It's getting awfuly quiet in here--we better not fall behind in the secondary challenge!

I've found massaging the soleus muscle helps me a little. Really push into the muscle....

I'll try that.  Unfortunately, it hurts and I'm ticklish.  The hurting is a sign I need to do it more I guess.

This is why I hate wearing heels.  It got way worse when I wore a pair to go out to dinner Saturday night.

Don't worry Amy - we'll win 'em both! Great job on the trainer session and nice job on getting your recovery nap in today. I could have used one myself.

Sorry to hear about the PF issues Jen. Take care of those feet. We'll need them both to help kick the other teams' butts!

Jen, sorry the Princess Feet are acting up.  I've given up heels, except for special occasions and always pay the price.  Here's one stretch I like alot. 

Kneel on the ground with your injured foot on the floor and your opposite knee on the ground. Put your body weight over the leg with the injured foot and lean forward while keeping the heal on the ground. Hold for 15 to 20 seconds. Repeat several times and then switch to the opposite foot.

Have you tried sleeping in the boot/brace?  I did when mine first flared up.  Not comfortable but helped eliminate morning pain.  Last thought, make sure you are icing alot.  I keep an aluminum can in the freezer and roll my feet at night.  (aluminum conducts cold better than plastic, so I ditched the water bottle and froze a can of beans)

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Morning Team! In a in a mental fog today.....think I could have slept another 2-3 hrs even though I got 8 hrs of sleep!! Will need more coffee than usual.  Today is a strength training and recovery run day.  We'll see how that goes.  Hope to get to the pool tomorrow but will check the new schedule....I may need to go today.  Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning all... no workout yesterday. Work has been crazy lately. I'm heading over to the gym at lunch to get a treadmill run in. Still need to get into the pool, but can't seem to get myself there. It'll happen EVENTUALLY. I'm also in a fog today... felt like I never got into a good, deep snooze last night. Already had an XL Dunkin Donuts coffee... YUM!!! Happy training, everyone!!!

DRIVE BY....
Worked out yesterday and 2day...
Actually swimming more...

Will re-do my plan for November to make sure I get my goals... basically I'm going to take out my non-goal gym/wt workouts... being as that I'm not getting them in anyhow....

ONE DAY... one day soon, hopefully, I will have my basement gym finished so I can ride more this winter...  though weather is supposed to get up to 57 on Friday... so maybe I'll try to ride outside then... HA!!!

later

ZZOOOMMM!!!!

Hey Team sorry for my MIA status....going to catch up on the tread!

Got in a great workout at lunch... 45 min on the treadmill... some sprint cycles... felt great.
