Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge (Page 37)

speaking of that fabulous carbon race bike that BILL hooked me up with...

73 minutes of two-wheeled glorious-ness.

felt SO good to be back in the saddle and i need to do some chking but i did believe that improved my pace (again) on this particular route.

what a ride!

Got in a run and bike today.  I'm 100% on the bike.  One more run and two more swims to go. 

Julie, glad to see you got a swim in.  You can get two more in.  If I can, then so can you. 

Wish I had a carbon bike.  I was drooling over some FELT bikes when I took mine into the shop.  I need to do some serious saving for a new bike.  darn.

AS FOR ME.....

speedwork session....

should get me close to 100% in the run if not over....

im not sure how long it actually will be time-wise.

6x400 intervals.

now i just need to figure out what my 'new' interval pace will be for this span of trng.

HAPPY TRNG EVERYONE!

I'm doing speedwork tonight too.  Wanna join me?

oh man.  id LOVE TO.

i ended up on the bike tonight.  it was just too nice of evening to spend running.  and it had been almost two full weeks since i had been on my bike...

but another speedwork session, LETS, soon, k? 

did you did intervals or temp or something else?  have you started Hal's plan yet?

It was bizarre -- Torture Dan wasn't "motivated"!  So we just ran, with a couple of pick-ups in the middle.  It was a great way to coast into starting Hal's plan -- I start on Monday.

Good morning everyone!  I snuck in a swim before work (and before the thunderstorms rolled in!), so I'm at 100% for swimming.  I just need one more bike ride and I'm done -- that's on the schedule for after work tomorrow.  Woo hoo!!!

I did it! haha! just barely...and today my shoulders rotator cuffs are sore! today is going to kick off the hot days ahead...so as much as I should swim...not sure if I will be able to fit it in my busy days schedule...only have two sessions left...will try and do at least one of them this weekend. hopefully both!

I changed my avatar to a swim one....does  that count??? I will do my best, Kendra!!! heading out for a run...then a busy day...but will try and go tomorrow...and again this weekend...I REALLY WILLLLLL TRY! TRI

I think you got my cool air and we have your warmer air here this morning! heading out as soon as I catch up on BT...want to beat the so called heat here! this weekend is supposed to be in the triple digits! and of course this is the one weekend we dont have plans to travel! we may re-think this!!!! could be our daughter may be getting an unexpected visit from us!!!??

have a great weekend all!

no bad karma round here, mr wgraves!

i just boogie woogie woogied a nice 6x400 interval run.  28 minutes.

i have 15 minutes left to reach my run goal.

im already over on the swim and the bike....

then theres that pesky goal of eating on plan, which i will have to do through the end of the month, to be at 100% and 'qualify' for the special challenge provision.  im confident ill be 'good'

thanks again for the GREAT challenge.  what could have been a somewhat de-motivating month for me, what w being post race and at the end of my tri season, my hiatus and so many days away from training, this challenge and our team, have kept me ENGAGED. 

thank you thank you thank you.

still 4 days to go! you have plenty of time to get more! haha probably better on your training if you are out riding, swimming or running instead - so keep on doing whatchur doin!!!!!

not often I say woohoo for Monday...but forgot that Monday was a part of this month...so I should reach my goals!!! even swimming! hoping to get one swim in this weekend and one on Monday! may even go tomorrow too! which would put me over.

ran a tempo run...was hot but seemed to really struggle out there...WHAT TEMPO???? only temp out there was what was coming out of my ipod!

 it was in the low 90's and dry...no wind. I ran an out and back and with little or no shade....hope I can run 13.1 in a month!?????
