Well since I have not been in the pool at all this month I am uping up the challenge (even though it is casual!)

Post your goals and I will enter them for you.

 Thanks!

Since they both fall into the other catagory I put you down for 16 sessions strength/yoga.  Hope you don't mind.

*sigh*

I guess I will have to take the risk...............

I am officially On Vacation! - so, no calculations or worrying in my immediate future

I'm in!  This will be perfect to keep me on track for August.

Goals:
Swim - 8000 yds
Bike - 200 miles
Run - 70 miles
Strength - 8 times
Pilates - 4 times

I'm in.

If you scroll to the bottom of the spreadsheet there is a "edit" link.  If you click on it, you should be allowed to enter your data.  If not post your goals and state that you need help entering them and I will enter them for you.

Slugger - 2008-07-31 1:22 AM The challenge hasn't even started and I'm already bummed. I just contracted the worst case of poison ivy I've ever had. My legs hurt like a m-f, burn, itch, and are covered in HUGE fluid-filled blisters. I'm on prednisone which is screwing with my head, along with Zyrtec, tylenol, and buckets of cortisone cream and neosporin w/pain reliever. To top it all off, it is still spreading, to my arms and now my face. I can't tell you how depressed this has me. I just got other bad-ish medical news which had me totally bummed ("the tests all came back normal, we have no freakin' clue what is wrong with you so, um, you know, just sit tight and let's hope it goes away. Even though it has already been four months and we all agree that is ridiculously long.". Now I can't even run to make myself feel better. Just the incredibly minimal walking I do around my office gives me a pit-of-the-stomach feeling, I can't even imagine trying to run. I'm supposed to start doing pushups in earnest tomorrow, but my knees are covered in sores and my body hurts to much too try for real pushups. I'm sorry for the whine. I was so, so excited about this challenge, and now I feel like this is yet another block in my path. I run my first open 5K next week and I'm completely unprepared. Guess I just needed to unload. *sigh* But, on the upside, if the prednisone does start working, just think of how great I'll look after doing those pushups on steroids!

If you want to get rid of this and soon...try my solution...

CREST TOOTHPASTE! yes, that is right!

I was in the Ozarks camping years ago and had it from head to toe...was MISERABLE when a local told me to try this. I did and boy does it sting like SH_T but it works and really quickly!!!! Dries it up really fast! hope it works for you like it did for me! GOOD LUCK...nothing worse then poison oak - but to be covered head to toe is THE WORST!!!! TRULY FEEL FOR YOU!  GOOD LUCK!! I also just read somewhere to get a sock and put some uncooked oats, honey and some milk in it then place in a tub of warm water.....then soak in the tub! nothing like making a big bowl of breakfast to soak in!!!!!

I think Dee and Beth have a cattle prod...Beth's on vacation, so I guess Dee gets the honors...

Tell her not to get too close to the pool with it...

Sal is that you!? love the new avatar! BETH IS ON VACATION!!! i guess I missed that memo! but I am sure that Dee will be more then happy to prod me and others with that nasty @ss machine!

hope you are doing well! are you????

Thanks for these challenges, they really help to keep me motivated
