Elite  2640     Ontario, Canada |  Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 ChallengeThe pool is still under maintenance! It's been this whole week. I even bought a water belt with intentions to water run thanks to helpful Crusher (and non-Crusher) suggestions. My swim goal isn't being met either. I planned 2 swims per week, so I'm going to cut 2 swims off of my goal and will continue to hope that the pool will reopen soon. I'm going to ask the superintendent shortly when it's expected to reopen. |

The sign says closed April 4-8 but I won't be surprised if it stays closed through the weekend. |

Master 2055 Santa Clarita | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge Started the month slow , maybe due to recovery time from my last race. Had two runs this week which went well . Our present weather is perfect for it . I have a swim clinic again tomorrow where we do one session in the pool and then go to the beach and do another hour in and out of the ocean . Our coaches are very accomplished and explain things very well . Really focusing on my limiter : the freestyle swim this off-season . The gym work has really paid off too with my shoulders , core and arms feeling a lot stronger. Edited by van_paulus 2011-04-08 1:20 PM |

Veteran 392 Calgary | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge My good news - I got up at 0430 this morning to get to the pool, and I had a GREAT swim! Likely the best swim I've had since I've been injured/cleared to swim again! Yay for me - my mojo is back! My bf is back tomorrow, life will be back to normal. Thanks for letting me vent Crushers - I knew that was all I needed!

I already feel guilty that I don't get my money's worth out of the one membership that I have. It would be worse if I had three memberships. |

Maybe you could take some heavy duty drugs and sleep until she is gone and your hand is better? |

YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! I, too, have slowly slowly incorporated a few days of stumbling around on the streets Well, Trina-Rae posted Maggie the Cat sleepin' on her back, legs-up ... and this makes me feel much better about my crazy Biscuits (oh yeah, it's the CAT that's crazy, uh-huh) ... There is nothing more peaceful than a snoozing cat. There is nothing less peaceful than a suddenly-awoken cat Anyway, I tried to swim today, but my swim partner looked at me (apparently, I don't look "all there" yet) and the waves (even the diehard surfers were like, "Nuh-uh ... " we're talking 20-foot tubes here) ... and told me, basically, GFY. Oh well. I hung out and chatted with the fellow "chicken" surfer piglets. |

Elite 3913 far northern CA | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge The sun finally came out here!!! I went on a lovely 50 mile bike ride yesterday. Today, I'm hoping for an 11 mile run before tackling the acre of lawn that we have. I hope the riding lawn mower doesn't get stuck! |

Expert 1163 | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge Ugh, I've been feeling under the weather the past few days and had to skip my workouts on Thurs, Fri, and Sat  I did get my usual long run in today, and was feeling a bit slow, but feeling much better than I did the past few days! I have some family stuff going on this afternoon, but hopefully I can squeeze in a swim later. |

Master 2042 Albany, NY | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge Well, I finally got myself in the pool this afternoon! It wasn't pretty but it could have been much worse. If nothing else I did go the distance for the race I'm supposed to do at the end of June... It's been a GORGEOUS weekend here! Got a lot of stuff done outside... We bought my daughter a bigger bike yesterday and I took her around the 'hood to try it out - she bike, I ran. That girl really had to push her mama along!! |

Master 2042 Albany, NY | Subject: RE: April Pick Up-to-4 Challenge I fianlly updated the spreadsheet too, and I added another swim to my goals. At the beginning of the month I wasn't sure if I'd EVER get back in the water, so I only put 2 sessions for my goal. I should definitely be able to get in the water twice more before the end pf the month. Hopefully more... but I can only push the hand so far. |
