I'm off to a slow start!  Know for the excuses not excuses just life.  I had my second boy 3 weeks ago and I'm still trying to adjust.  Little ones are some much fun.  I join this challenge to keep me honest and have fun. 

For the good news South I was able to get two swims in this weekend and one bike ride.  Now I'm on a roll.

 


 

Wow! That's so awesome!

Good morning!  Sorry I've been a little quiet on the thread this month...  just really busy trying to get a promotion at work and getting the kid back to school, soccer, girl scouts, etc.

I did get my half century in yesterday and it felt pretty good!  Or would have felt good if I wasn't hanging back with my friends for part of it.  They were totally shot about half way through and I couldn't get any momentum on the downhills to get up the uphills and then had to crawl up the uphills...  but I love 'em and hung with them for a while!  After all we were doing it as an opportunity to get together.  But when they started walking their bike up hills with 8 to go, they took pity and told me to meet them at the end. 

Now I just need to get my butt to the pool... 

Half century, killing your friends, no sweat that deserves a bike-chain congrats!

Good luck on getting the promotion, you deserve it!

OK South, it's time to rise up and face this challenge.  40% of September is gone.  Let's do this!!!

Here's your motivation:

"Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated"

The SOUTH will rise again!!!*

 

 

 

 

 

 

*possibly in swimsuit avatars, like Venus on the half-shell ... but still.

Got a run and some strength training in today.  Tomorrow's another bike day.  Slowly but surely getting back into a decent schedule for triathlon training.  I'm ready for October so I can start swimming again too.

Ok, step 1... I have my swim stuff on the car. Now I just need to head my car in the direction of the pool before picking up the kiddos for soccer practice.

I hope everyone's week is off to a good start!

I am going to have to stop challenges for now because I am overloaded with some stuff and won't be able to regularly train. I can either remove myself from the list or we could count my progress to date and calculate it based on the 13 elapsed days. 

 

I have two beautiful foster kittens with upper respiratory viruses that need their meds now so I will check on everyone's decision tomorrow.

Yes...  that's right...  I actually got my butt in the pool!  I finally have something other than a big fat zero in my swim column.  Laughing

Great job Rhoda, I bet it felt GREAT!

And Melissa I am cool with you doing either one. Personally if I had to do all the calculations to only count you for the first 13 days I would just have you pull out altogether but lucky for all of us I don't have to do that part ;-)

I hope the kitties are okay and I hope you find some time to take care of YOU and get out there to swim and bike!!

Swim class was canceled AGAIN last night, and make up day is at 1pm Saturday, which I can't do because kids have soccer games. Arrgh.

Crams sessions looking likely for next couple weeks. Oi.

That sucks! Will they not let you go ahead and use the pool anyway? Good luck cramming!

I can still get in the pool, and can also go to the beach, so I have no excuse for not at least practicing the little bit I've learned so far. I'd be pretty much flailing for a few feet at a time, haha!

I biked again today!  Today was a hectic day at work.  The afternoon was crazy busy and I ended up getting off work 30 minutes late and was extremely tempted to skip my ride but made myself hop on the bike and get my 10 miles in.  Glad I did because I know I'd be regretting it now had I skipped.  James and I made steak and baked potatoes for dinner.  It was really good!  Tomorrow's my day off so I should be going to the gym with James at some point for some strength training and a run.  Hope everyone's week is going well!

I thought that the least I could do is share the kitties with you all! Both of them are <3 lbs. Tiny sweethearts.

I'm starting to become way too good at hurting myself... I now have a lovely 3in bruise on my shin.  It's of course on the same leg as my bruised heel and right next to the 3in long scar that I got a couple months ago. At least they've all been minor scrapes and bruises but I would like to be able to go more than a week without injuring myself in some way!
