skrtrnr - 2009-08-25 8:35 AM WASSUP SoS!!!!

sounds like all of us are gonna be finishing up this challenge in fine fashion!

get your run/bike/swim on and finish strong!!!!

as for me, the plan is to get to the Y this eve for a long swim (48 mins)....

i have 10 mins left to reach my swimming goal. that just cracks me up, so ill be over by the end of the month.

i have 43 mins left to reach my run goal, wed and saturday runs should take care of that.

im over on the bike.

the only goal outstanding is my eating on plan goal. i little tricky what w vacation in the middle of the month (does wine count as a snack??? LOL)

but if im real, real 'good' over the rest of the month, i should finish up with a 100% in that category as well.

i didnt bust a move like i typically do wracking up the minutes/sessions what w vacation/my hiatus and all, but hopefully i can help out some of our ailing teammies. [this is GREAT motivation, btw]

its all good.

Hey Stacie! Welcome back - I have been sporadic since your return!

Great job this month!

thanks for the warm welcome home, BILL. i had a splendid time away, though i could stay at the beach forever, im glad training wise to be back at it!

thank ya for the compliment on reaching my challenge goals. i was a little bummed, thinking i wasnt contributing much in the way of sessions, but knowing that my xtra effort this back at it week, will help out, its motivating....

YEAH US!

Hi Team - sorry I havent been around much this month Havent been a very fun team mate this time around...

Im over 100% for my cycling but my running is behind.... not sure what I will do but as Im doing number of sessions a couple of very short runs should get me close to 100% at least!

Another run in the books for me. The humidity is back. I sit here typing this with sweat still pouring off me. Yesterday was a nice break but it's over. Oh well, fall will be here before we know it, right?

I am going to get on my bike today. Even if it's only for 30 minutes. I promise!

I got a bike ride in this morning, but I'm not going to it this way again. Thought I'd do a few loops around the neighborhood before work. But... I forgot that school is back in session. I can't believe the number of moms and dads that drop their kids off! So I cut it short before I got pushed off the road.

The good news is that I only have one more swim and one more bike to go for 100%. I think it is do-able.

Finished my run goal this morning, but I still need one swim and two bikes. The problem is I prefer to run!

wish I was in that prefer to run boat! I want to ride my bicycle! I want to ride my bike!

but with a half marathon and many goals to meet in this challenge...NO BIKE RIDING FOR ME until I get caught up and with this Hal Higden program...

and suxxx cuz...his program does not put me on my bike daily....like I would prefer!

No wonder we get along - I feel the same way! Ride to the gym to lift and swim and ride home (the long way) - skip running all together

I think queen wrote the opening of that song for me - I love to ride...but I have to admit that I enjoy running now...WAS THAT MY OUTER VOICE??? now I need to find my swim jiggy?!? did someone find it out there???

and whats this talk about skip running!? noooo, dont throw in the towel. Just toss in a run here and a run there between all your rides and who knows before long you too may begin to like it!????

I enjoy it - but I love riding. Big difference but running kills an hour better than riding does so that is my I don't have time today workout!

I love riding too, better than running. But my bicycle is getting a new chain and we have to wait for it to come in. No wonder I kept slipping out of gear. LOL

be careful Kendra...sometimes (most often) when you replace a chain...the cogs also need to be replaced...they are worn and when you put on a new chain it - it does not match up to the teeth on the cog...and when you go to pedal your chain will slip even more!?! take it for a spin before you leave the shop.
