April Challenge! (Page 5)

oops looked like they were wrong.

TonightSnow. Low around 24. North northeast wind around 6 mph becoming east after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.

And we already have 7 or so on our deck and maybe 4 sticking out in the grassy areas and non traveled paths

This is getting funny.

Van P....  I am more of a "sunny" runner.  Training I like mid 50's (racing maybe a little cooler) but on the bike, I enjoy (or at least seem to ride faster) in the upper 80's and 90's (at least here in CO  the lack of humidity makes that nice

That sounds like my kind of luck. This week, it is raining at home while I am there, sunny while I am away and raining where I am going. The family will get to enjoy it while I am away though.

Missed yesterday but got 11 miles in today. If I do 10 miles per day as I plan to I should finish ahead of schedule.

It seems like a lot of folks are doing really well with their goals.

Apparently my math skills suck..lol. I Just looked at my actual calendar and added up the miles for April and was missing a couple of miles. Well I still plan on doing 10 to 20 miles a day just to be an over achiever type

And yes, the fear of the Tazer is mighty, no matter how purty they are.

It is working for me! I even got my butt to the workout room at not one, but both hotels I am staying in this week.

I may not be an over achiever, but I intend for someone to be behind me for Dee to taze!

A well-needed kick in the pants.   I did a mini-taper before my mini-race on Sunday, and have been forgoing the bike due to snow.  Obviously affected my numbers... doesn't take long to go from overachiever to taser!

In honor of this update -- I went for a run tonight.  At MIDNIGHT.   (On a business trip -- hotel has a 24/7 fitness center)

Swim in the morning!

so glad I update my goals when I got home from a short vacation. Had I great time. Running on the beach swimming in the ocean. Only down side was the lack of biking time. Will have to make up for that this weekend.

Looking forward to 2:30 pm today ---    Picking up my new bike and getting a final fitting love my bikeshop who goes the extra mile. 

Now hoping for a nice weekend  no rain

Ok, I just upped my goals slightly so my percentage dropped.  I didn't change the run goal tho because it is still a stretch for me to try to make 50 miles this month with the PF issues.  At least I'm coming closer than I thought I might.  About to go for a little run and get a sneaking suspicion I'll be singing Zippity Doo Da.  Hey, that might not be a bad song for running.

Today was my first day of really not feeling it. I didn't have motivation issues, haven't had any of those since I decided to participate in this challenge  :0 but once I got on the bike, that was different story. My legs felt bad, my feet hurt, my butt is always in border line pain and I just felt like giving it up. I pushed myself to make the 10 miles and it was a little faster than usual but I felt I had to go faster to make it through. I am definitely taking tomorrow off.

It still looks like everyone is making good progress and I hope that everyone makes it and enjoys themselves in the process. That will be my plan for Saturday.

Bobby

And here I thought I was doing pretty well. Hmmmmm. Teach me to set my goals a little high.

Heading to the bike right now.
