Miracle of miracles, my hotel has a gym (not the norm in EU). I actually was able to bike this morning with no knee pain. So will try to run when I get back to the States on Thursday. Hoping to get back in the game. Whereabouts in Europe are you? Zurich this week - land of cheese and chocolate. I'm in EU a week or two every month. Sounds exotic, but can be pretty tiring. Hard to find pools in some cities and not a lot of hotels have gyms. Usually, I just heavy up on the run but that's not working out so well this week. Plus, I've only had 3 hours sleep since Sunday morning. A couple hours on the flight over Sunday night then last night was a disaster. I had slept a little over an hour and my freaking phone rang. Forgot to turn it off. Was a knucklehead on my team that forgot I was traveling. Once I was awake, I was done for...forgot the ambien. Long night, no sleep. Long day, but I just did my stretches and hope to get a good night in tonight. On the morning flight back tomorrow. BTW, Congrats on signing up for IM Moo next year! Will look forward to following your training. |

We sure are a quiet group! I managed to get a couple of runs in while I'm in Atlanta. It's a lot different than home -- what we call "hills" are actually considered flat in Atlanta, so my runs have been a bit of a challenge. I see that most of us aren't updating the spreadsheet. Are we giving up already? It's only the middle of the month... What part of Atlanta did you run in? I lived in Buckhead many years ago. Great area. When I am in Florida the only hills I've found are the overpasses! Our condo is near Piedmont Hospital -- between Buckhead and Midtown. So I took off down Peachtree, up the hills and headed toward Five Points. I definitely call it an "urban" run, but it was fun! And yes, hills are rather scarce here in Florida. We actually have a run called the Double Bridge Run, and the highlights are the two overpasses! |

I hope you had a good trip! |

Expert 1117 Shalimar, FL | Subject: RE: Nads - End of Summer Challenge So Nads, we are 50% through the month. But we have lots of hurt Nads |
and I hope everyone heals quickly and safely. I actually had a fun speedwork session tonight. It was very hot and steamy, but after my warm-up it just didn't seem to matter. I had a forced rest day yesterday (tons of rain!), so maybe that helped. But I got some really good quarters in, even at the end of my workout! | 2009-09-15 8:17 PM in reply to: #2408091 |

Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: Nads - End of Summer Challenge Just a short swimmy for me tonight. I wanted to run too, but my legs were kind of protesting from the 20 miler yesterday. Perhaps I will run in the morning..... |

Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Nads - End of Summer Challenge First day of p90x! Then I overslept and wasn't able to ride in.  Oh well, I'm happy I got the Shoulders & Back session in, plus abs. Zoikes, I'm sore!  Neal, congrats on IMoo!! This will be your first IM, right? Great job to the travelers - I always WANT to work on when I'm traveling, but it never seems to actually happen. |

Great job to the travelers - I always WANT to work on when I'm traveling, but it never seems to actually happen. Yup, this will be the first. I am excited! Have fun with p90x. My parents did the program last fall and both saw very good results. I would jump into the workouts with them whenever I was visiting and they always left me sore. |

That was on the first day, Chest and Back. Today was Shoulders and Arms, and I pushed hard. Felt good! I PM'd Todd and I'm going to change my goals. Just gotta figure them out now. But I still get to scream GoooOOOOOOO NADS! |

Expert 1117 Shalimar, FL | Subject: RE: Nads - End of Summer Challenge Hello Nads! I'm back in rainy Atlanta for the weekend. I'm sitting here in my running clothes, but I'm not sure the run is going to happen. Hoping for a break in the clouds to fit it in... We've got baseball tickets tonight, so I sure hope it rains itself out by then! |

Pro 4482 NJ | Subject: RE: Nads - End of Summer Challenge Morning Nads!!! I ran 4.5 (ok ran/walk) this morning and knee did great. My cardio was carp, but I suppose that is to be expected.

Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: Nads - End of Summer Challenge I'm at home visiting my parents and they live pretty close to the high school track so I went down there for a good track workout of 0.5 mile intervals. I haven't done that for awhile. Ouch! |
