CHALLENGE Challenge - Determination (Page 6)

The last time I tried to do pushups (sometime this summer) I barely managed two.  All the time that I have spent digging holes in rocks and clay has really, really paid off. 

As fun as digging holes sounds, I think I'll try hitting the gym a little more often!

mila - 2009-01-07 8:00 PM How could I have possibly missed the "determination" challenge??? 

Right??  Gotta love some 'determination!'

Erica, are you doing the push up challenge also?

I soooooo need to get my butt in gear and start up on mine again!  I had a helluva time in week 6 and lost some motivation but now I have no excuse!

I'm gonna start it soon.  I was doing it in the summer and fizzled out.  I'm feeling wimpy again so it's time to do something about it!

Happy Thursday everyone!!

I have some exciting news to share....yesterday I registered for my first HIM (Timberman 70.3)!!!  I've been thinking about it for a while, and also about this race in particular.  And lately I feel like I've been thinking about it nonstop, and the more I thought about it the more I really really wanted to it this year.  When I checked yesterday there were fewer than 100 spots left, so I knew I had to decide soon.  Before I knew what I was doing I was clicking submit & registered!  I'm sooo excited!!! 

Congrats!!  That is super exciting!  I think there are a lot of BTer's doing Timberman for their first HIM.  I am hoping to come up and jock strap.  So, when does the training start?? 

Congrats, that is awesome!!!!  Good luck and Go getum!!!

i just started all this and have only been running since August, so i have not done any NYRR races. I have done some 5k's and 5 milers locally to me and can hold a 10min pace for those at this point, i would love to come down one weekend and meet and run with ya!!

Quiet day around here huh?  Got my run done.  It was shorter than I intended but I didn't mind!   It started snowing while I was running.  That was fun!!!  I'm glad I dragged myself out and did it!

Now, off to a fun PTO meeting tonight.  Don't be jealous!

i am running tonight inside or outside one way or the other!!!

You are going to LOVE Timberman! I've not done that race, but I've done several of the race director's half IM's in Texas (Lonestar and Longhorn). They are the BEST races ever. He puts on a top notch super 'user friendly' race with great shirts, perks, etc! I am so excited that will be your first half! You could not have picked a better race for it's organization and awesomeness! That's so exciting!

THat is exciting news indeed! THat's how I got into my first (well, so far only!) HIM!

Congrats on signing up and good luck training!!!

Man, can I say how much I loooooove this team? From motivating each other to workout to chatting to cheering for race signups to helping a sick teamie, this is truly such a wonderful and cohesive team.

WE HAVE THE BEST DETERMINATION!!!!!

  We are the best!!!

Back from the PTO meeting.  It wasn't horrible but not fabulous either.  They waste way too much time talking about stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the school.  I really don't want to spend my entire night there! 

Now just to wait for the BCS championship game to start!  Anyone else watching?  Predictions?  I couldn't care less who wins but hope it's a good game.

Wait, determination's not on the board? How can this be?

We need to show off our determination!!!

I put a good hour into bike training tonight for the team.

Good night, Erica!

Have fun!!!!!!!!
