MAY "You MAY Pick" Challenge--ALL WELCOME! (Page 6)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?! This is war. 

Allen and Salty smack downs on 2 forums - this could be fun!

I did my first session of core and push-ups yesterday and now my abs are really, really sore, so please don't make me laugh too much today.   After today I should be good, so save the best shots for later please.

I just spit out my smoothie!  Freakin' hilarious!  

Hi everyone,

I've been low on the motivation lately and full on the excuses so I could use all the help I can get... Easy goals to try and get consistent. I will swim 20x this month and I will run 15 times this month. (Notice I did not put yards or mile goals.) Just looking to get active again and later I will increase the distances. After this month I may actually think about bike goals. My bike sits on my computrainer just waiting for some attention but gets absolutely none.

You got it.  Reef sharks represent!

Wahooooo!!!

Way to go Reefers! We have pulled ahead of the Sea Cows! LOL

I'll add some more bike mileage tomorrow. I have my long ride. Hoping to get out on our group ride and put in 80-90 miles. That should help.

Welcome welcome! We'll getcha revved up. After all, there's nothing so motivational as smack-talking another team ... and then realizing YOU are behind on your goals, ha ha!

I think that's the best way to get back in the game without setting yourself up for failure, hurting yourself or discouraging yourself.  Just hit the pavement or hop in the pool and do something, anything.  Smart goals!  I don't think you are a fellow manatee, but I'm not feeling all that cut-throat today, so - GOOD LUCK and GET OUT THERE!!

I have suffered an injury to my foot and will need to not run for a couple of weeks.  I know this is the 8th and the deadline was yesterday.  Am I allowed to change my run goal to a swim goal?  As punishment I could make it a really high goal like 14,000 yards (my previous high is 10k)!

No worries if that is not allowed.  Just thought I would ask. 

hum, I am not sure my ice cream goal makes sense in the context of this challenge cause it means the team suffers if I surpass my goal and eat less then two servings per week.  Stop laughing, it could happen. 

ice cream    8    things    3

Can I change it out to 10 strength training sessions instead?  That is something else I need to keep focused on. 

I sure am glad I am a shark though.  So far we are rocking it.

Of course. But ONLY 14,000? Ha ha just kidding. Sure, change it to whatever you need to so you can heal your foot properly.

You know, I was totally with you until you went all shark on me

Yep, go ahead and do strength training.

You could set the tattoo goal to looking for artists and securing a spot ... or some achievable goal that takes some effort on your part.

As for post-IM slump, that's okay, just join one of the Shark teams

If we can help you get through post IM slump by your setting some realistic goals and looking forward to them, that might be good ...
