December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards (Page 5)

Just a little boost to all the Blizzards! We are doing good! And how could you not after that awesome PM from our fearless leader! Keep working towards that goal! Every stroke, every yard counts!!!

 YAHOO!!!

1500 in this AM. Was supposed to be 3450, but I stopped early. My HR was high and I felt like crap. Will have to swim long this weekend... Sorry, Blizzards! Will swim on Sunday! PROMISE!

18,100/30,000. CHUG CHUG CHUG....

Hey Whizz - good move to pull up short when the body says so.  My goal is to live on to race another day!

I swam 1750 today (250 more than planned).  I should be 2000 yds a head of schedule.

Hey!!!!

Got in 1700 meters/1859 yards this am!!! WOooooooHOOOooooo!

Total for month: 5747.86 Yd !!!

Can that be?????? I'm over then! My goad was 5400! I wanted to get it done because I was afraid with going away for xmas I'd never meet my goal.

Jszat - that sucks.  Get better soon.

I, myself, was trying to see if these challenges had an IR or PUP (physically unable to perform) List???

I may still meet my goals as the shoulder is slowly getting better, but losing 10 days surely isn't helping.  Not to mention, I still can front crawl.

I am hungover. I took a nap and watched a movie instead of swimming today.

I will swim/lift tomorrow AM. I'm giving up for this weekend. *SIGH*

What flick did you watch????? Jaws is always a good hangover movie but this time of year...hmmmm... Wonderful LIfe or Polar Express seem to be on all the time.

No way! Plan on hitting the pool Wed and Friday...but that may be it for the month unless I can get in a swim on the 30/31. Heading to NC for the holiday this Sat. am.

I had a great week last week, logging 5000 meters.  My most ever in a week.  I'm at 9100 / 13000.  This challenge is really helping me.  I plan on crushing my goal.

Go Blizzards!!!

Get your booties into your Speedos and swim !

Woooooo HOOOOO!

We're gonna beat the bejeezes out of those other teams.

Encouragement?  I've got a better idea.  Let's kick their a$$es!  Especially the injured ones, they should be easier to beat up, since they're hurt and all!

Seriously, jszat wiped out his shoulder.  Should you ask the other captains if there is something that can be done?  Can he go on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list or can someone else make up his yardage for him?  Schmize hurt his shoulder too but I don't think it's as bad and he's doing what he can by swimming different strokes that don't aggravate it too much.  I give him a lot of credit for that.  I have a feeling without this challenge he'd shut it down completely and that's probably what he should do, challenge or no.  But jszat should not be swimming for a couple of weeks at least. 

How about any overagel yardage be donated to the PUPS?

I know how that goes with injury (achilles) so there's no point in anyone swimming if they really should be resting.

I know I'll get some more yardage in this week to apply to any shortages.
