I'm a day ahead tho'. It's Friday for me already. I may need to up my goals also. I did my first swim with a tri club this week and I hadn't factored it into my goals and they swim way further than I would on my own. I didn't know if I would cope but I did. 

I'll look at my goals toward the end of the month. It is winter here and the weather could still muck things up.

Any husband that does not support his woman 110% in being a triathlete has got to be out of his mind...and deserves the penalty of buying all the gear she needs when she needs it.  Nothing better than having a woman who cares enough about herself to train for something so personally rewarding....nice job team!  Let's keep this thing cranked up!

Need to get a run in tonight...will be a good break from the work that followed me home tonight. 

Another 39 miles of biking down.  Can you tell that biking is my favorite activity these days?

Actually, I have to get my miles in now, as my new job starts next week, and I doubt I'll be able to get any week-day rides in unless I take my bike with me to work.  So I'm "banking" bike miles for now, and hoping to catch up on my running, and swimming later. 

We were supposed to go to the pool this morning, but Eric stayed up too late working on the car we bought for a currently-car-less friend so it'll be ready for his birthday next week.  FUN. 

Now, I really need to get on the ball about my core work.  Literally.  I mean, on the balance ball.   

Did I miss the secret handshake meeting?  what's with the workouts in "39"?  minutes, miles...  

Another run in....need to get on the bike tomorrow for at least an hour before packing and heading out on vacation. Will train and log in during the week from Mexico...taking the kids so I will save myself from over indulging and staying out late. Want to get at least 3 strength sessions in as well....at least the place i am staying has some gym equipment. I can also go to the Golds Gym next door if the resort stuff is trashed.

Everyone is doing great! We are going to win this thing as long as we all stay the course and not get behind on our weekly sub-goals. Hasta la vista!

It's people like you that make the world worth living in.

jana0317 - 2008-06-06 9:51 AM Today I have off but tomorrow I have a group bike ride that is about 33 miles and Sunday I plan on running 4 miles. What's everyone else doing? Have a good weekend! We are doing awesome in the challenge!

On tap this weekend is a possible extra 24 mile bike tonight, 24 or 32 mile bike tomorrow and an open water swim, a 40 milish bike on Sunday and a soccer game. The bike ride tonight depends on if my sweetie gets done what he has to do in time to get it in, otherwise, since it's an easy week, I will take the day off :-)  I'm done running for the week except for my soccer game

I'm going to have to wear my garmin during the OWS (in my cap) so I can determine the distance for the challenge.  I used it in Cayman and it worked fantastic

Hopefully after a weekend of us all getting our workouts in we will come out on top and some of us can get back our freedom to choose our avatars

You hav emy vote.

I'll 2nd that.

What does everyone do for a living? 

I'm a travel agent, lifegurad/cpr instructor and a mom to a 4 yr old son.

Do you work from home?  If so, I'm jealous. My goal is to be able to work from home.

Until my goal is achieved, I work for my father's plumbing & heating wholesale company. I've been here ten long years, ever since college.  It's a super flexible job so I'm able to basically come and go as I please, provided my job is done, which it is :-)  No kids and not married, but I have a wonderful sweetheart.  No kids and a flexible job make it pretty easy to get training in.  The biggest challenge I have is finding the right time so every friend/training buddy in my small group of friends/training buddies can train together for the long rides/runs/ows.

I am a geologist working for an environmental engineering firm in Norhern California.  I am also a single dad taking care of two daughters.

Well, it's a 1990 Honda, so it's not like a bling bling new car.  But it'll get him where he needs to go that he can't reach by bike.  My Honda is a 1982, and still going strong, so that leads me to hope that even if it looks like poo, it'll keep running for a while. 

We're trying to come up with a clever way to surprise him with it.  Right now, I'm torn between wrapping the keys in a series of nesting boxes, or doing a clue-by-clue present thing.
