Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Closed (Page 46)

24 done 6 to go. If the stars align, I should squeek in my 30 w/o in 31 days.

So who is in for the pushup challenge? Do you max test this week, and start Sunday/Monday or whatever works for you. 

Let's post pushups Fridays. You will be amazed how many pushups you can do. Great party trick for beers...

I believe you, I know I talk about how cold it is a lot on here, but I do like the winter, and I really enjoy having 4 distinct seasons. Too much of anything gets old...... well besides beer of course!

Sounds good for the push up challenge! I am pretty excited about it actually, sounds like a good way to get some strength training in. I really like body weight exercises as well,  even just doing body weight squats, for me doing 4 sets of 25 and I am Gassed.... It is amazing what you can accomplish without fancy equipment and pricey gym memberships! ( Although I do have both of those too)

Got my triple workout in last night! Ran to the pool for an awesome swim, and ran home via a shorter more direct route, I call it 'The Tired Guy Route'. This was my first time at the evening adult swim, which apparently my pass doesnt work for but the nice lady let me in with a warning...and man the evening swims are wayyyyy better than the noon ones. There no octogenarians buoys floating in the lanes, there are lots of young vibrant (read really fast people) just an all around nicer vibe....too bad my pass is no good for evening swims apparently!!!

Ahh well....such is life!

Justin - Looks like a nice place to run... even if it's -20 outside.  That is cold.  I went out last week and it was about -10 C when I headed out and it took me a while before I got warmed up.  I would rather it be -20c than 32c.  You?

Give your dog a pat for me.

Hows the back?

First and most importantly - you need to stop talking about yourself in a speedo.  I sometimes eat when I check the forum and that image really kills the appetite 

I'm in on the challenge.  Did 30 to start - we will see if I can get the kids into it.

Have a great week!  Make that 30 in 31 happen.  I know you can do it!

Back is better, much better...not 100% but ill take it.

I will give the lady a pet when I get home, she does get a little less attention now with the 7 month old around, she will enjoy it.

I do like running in the cold and was about to say that I prefer it, but my best ever 5K time came last Feb. when we were in Maui and I did the Run for the Whales run put on by the Pacific Whale Foundation. Great run! There is a Half-Marathon too which starts in the Makena area and out through the lava fields south of there. I am really hoping to get back and do that one some day.

Great job on the 30 Pushups! I am hoping for 10....

36/31 on the challenge. I think I need to stop working out!

There is nothing like having your first HIM and being kinda worried about it to make you hit it! Body is feeling like I need more yoga moves and foam rolling.

Next week is taper week so I will give this 40+ year old body a rest.

Very nice, nailed it!

fell short on the 30/31.  I will end up at 27, 0r 28/30. 

Got back out there today witha n 11.8 mile run in the snow.  I'll end the month with 124 miles ran.

Going for 34 miles this week.  I'll try for 135 miles in February.

had a really solid run today, 2 X 20 minutes at T pace which was awesome.  Really good.  Lots of gut busting pain.  Legs felt smooth for the first one and stiff for the second one but I pushed it and was happy with the result.

Now hoping I didn't ruin myself for the rest of the week.

Bob - you are putting all of us to shame!  Great job on smashing the 30 day challenge!

Kevin - awesome totals for the month!  Can't wait til I can claim numbers like that!

I completed my initial push up test and only managed a very humbling 20!  This will be good to get back some upper body strength!  

I decided to stop floating around a pool and took the first step to actually swimming worth a darn.  I sent a few emails out and got directed to my local masters group.  It is way above my level but I am sure they will know the next place to go.  All of the adult swim instruction doesn't start until late March which is cutting it real short for a May tri.  I have to fix it because I am swimming with my head up because the timing with breathing is crazy off.  I have watched I think every video ever made but need someone speaking to me and watching where I mess up.
