August Challenge (Run,Swim,Bike, Weightloss, and/or Other) - CASUAL (Page 5)

If you're willing to fly me to San Fran, I'll gladly push you in the pool.  I'm a great motivator.  Totally worth the air fare.

Tomorrow starts a new month and this little challenge.  I wish everybody good luck in reaching their goals, and remember we do this for fun. 

Thought I'd post my goals since it's just hours before the official start:

200 miles bike

4000 yards swim

25 miles run

These are just above my July numbers & I'm super slammed for time in August...so it will definitely be a challenge!

In 20 minutes I can start!  (actually, I think I'll go to bed) 

Hi,

Can someone enter me on the spreadsheet?  I can view it but I wasn't able to make updates and add myself.  Here are my goals for August:

Swim:  150 Minutes

Bike:  660 Minutes 

Run:  630 Minutes

Strength:  240 Minutes

Weight Loss:  Start 183, Goal 177, Total 6

Thank you.  Lisa

Im in

Swim : 70000 yards

Run : 45 Miles

Bike : 120 Miles

I added my goals to the spreadsheet earlier:

15 hour each walking/biking

20,000 meters swimming

8 weight training sessions

lose 2 pounds

I'm in. Purposefully taking it easy this month, but want to keep some momentum going.

4 OWS sessions

10 hrs biking

Good luck to everyone in meeting goals!

Ok, rearranged my training schedule to include more swims since I havent done any in July-such a slacker. August is a busy month for me-out of town this weekend, internship ends, school start again, out of town later this month for my bachelorette party (spa here I come), a sprint triathlon in the middle of the month, need to order invitations and flowers, pick up my dress and order shoes, and I still haven't found a senior project or studied for the FE. Craziness.

August Goals:

Run-35mi
Swim-12 Sessions
Bike-100 mi
Other-4 Yoga/Tai Chi Sessions
Weight Loss-5 Lbs

Is it November yet? 

You goals are now entered.  Good luck with acheiving your goals.

O.K., FINAL adjustment to goals to factor in vacation time (out of town):

Swim 12,600
Bike 510 min
Run 630 min

I'll update the spreadsheet and NO MORE CHANGES...I should be committed I'm committed...

Boo, it's August ...one month closer to the end of summer and summer hours at work.  Our kids start school ON THE 26th!!!

1500 yd swim this morning...had some great 200 yd splits this morning (sub 3:50)...I'm supposed to I get to run an hour some time today...

What's on tap for the 1st day of August?

Hey Julie.  Doing well...lot's of change in responsibilities at work, but I think I'm getting those sorted out...

For a while, wasn't on BT much last month...good to be back...

November?  Come stop by...

wow...such a deal! what is your schedule like! can you fly out today! I need that shove you offered!

Slugger - 2008-07-31 11:00 PM Thanks for the sympathy! Alas, I don't have a tub (stinks - no ice baths, either!), so no soaking. Plus, the fact that it is STILL spreading (yes, we are now officially a WEEK from first occurrence) makes me very leery to get into the water and spread it to, um, some other areas that it is so far avoiding, thank goodness. My face is now half numb, though. I'm heading to the ER once I can wriggle out of work. This is utter BS. I'm pushing down the earth and running millions of miles in spirit, though! Think that'll win me my race?

take care! I know how miserable you must feel! I had to have a friend who is a doctor come make a house call...and my ivy spread to those areas you speak of...you know where the sun don't shine! and it was not pleasant...so you take care...and do everything possible to keep it from spreading to you know where!!!! GOOD LUCK! lots of dry healing thoughts heading your way!!!! HEAL FAST will ya!?

Hey Sal...Glad things are going well for you! good luck with the sorting out with your new responsibilities! Sure you will rock your work just as you rock us on BT! Guess I did not miss ya since I too was MIA last month! Spent a few weeks in GLORIOUS COLORADO! ready to go back...except I sure am able to breathe on my bike rides, runs a lot easier at sea level then at the 9800 elevation where I was staying! Hope you have a great weekend! do not work too hard today!!!! and I am with you on the bummer that summer is close to being over! Enjoy what is left ...ok!? LOVE YOUR NEW AVATAR! looks like a TDF racer! such the stud you are!!!

lyssa-gator - 2008-08-01 9:16 AM well, i WAS going to bag out today, had a visitor show up almost a week early (you DO know what i mean right?? LOL) but i got on here to catch up, and now i'm feeling slightly motivated. (that's actually a good thing ) it probably won't be much, but maybe i'll take a quick run, or hop on my bike for a few minutes (i'm not over estimating either, it really will be for a few minutes) good to see you again sal! haven't been on here with you since the days of the original nibbs thread!! LOL when was that anyway, january?? i can't even remember now it's been so long ago!

Well what did you do!? and how many minutes? I am sure whatever you do...it will be in lyssa style! how is the new bike!??? loving it? and where is the picture???? last bike I remember you taking a picture of was the one that was on the side of your house...covered in snow! so....pics of the new shiny bike!?!?!

Made my first small dent in my bike goal- 25 minutes - and I planned out which days I can fit in open water swims. I may be in trouble there as there are only 4 possible dates this month, and 4 is my goal.

Off to a tempered start...
