Peachy December Challenge!!!! (Page 7)

Got my peach today with a very hilly 10K race.  I did it last year in 1:21 and was dead last, although first in my age group. (Not many 50-54 women do this race!).  This year I did it in 1:22, but had two people finish behind me.  Hurrah!  I wasn't in last place.  But I dropped to second in my age group.  (Still not many 50-54 women doing this race!)

Of course, it isn't really a peach because it is green. 

My peach was definitely worthy of having on ice cream.  I had a pain free run for the first time in 2 months. 

Recovering from some torn hip flexors had me off running 10 days prior to a half mary and another 2 weeks after it.  I tried running last weekend and only managed a bit over 5K with pain starting at mile 2.5.  Today I had a twinge here and there but no consistent pain. 

Congrats on your race!!!

The PT must be working -- that's fantastic!!

LeahDD- so happy to hear I am not the only 50-55 age grouper in this challenge.  My goal too is to keep at it since the numbers in this age group are small.  Nice job on your race today.

Queen Zipp- Great news on your pain free run today.

Keep PEACHY!!!  ;-)

It's a strength training program that's on a series of DVDs. Lots of upper body, core, ab work, etc. You are supposed to do it every day for 90 days to see results, but I do it modified and only do it about 4 days a week. Everything hurts (in a good way, I guess) once you are done with your workout. I hope that means it's working! 

Wow, quite a day -- nice!!

After my swim I cleaned house all day (barely made a dent) and am going to do Jorge's Q3 now while dinner's cooking.

got in a 5 mi race ( 5 shot, 5 mile bar run that is) what  a good time and a great buzz!

did an extra lap and a half

im new to the BT, and maybe too late coming into this challenge.

is it OK if i join in?

im still navigating the site, havent log in a workout yet, but ill tool around and figure out how the system works.  can you add in workouts retroactively?

im well on my way to a peachy December...

I fixed it, you can add your minutes now There was a formula in this particular cell, not sure why. 

It seems to work now -- don't know what was in the cell before.  I'm using openoffice software now, not Windows, and I haven't figured out all the spreadsheet stuff yet.

eta: nm, looks like it was already fixed ^^^

Plan today is a good long (for me) swim and a short run.  This will be my 1st trail run in much too long -- can't wait!

Absolutely!!!!!  Welcome to BT and the Peach Challenge!!  Let us know if you have any questions/problems.

skarl (and all)

thanks for the welcome!  looking forward to participating in the Challenge...

i tooled around w the training log yesturday - and i think im all set!

I got my peach today with a run in the morning, then in the afternoon I ran to the pool, swam 1.5km or so and ran back home

I swam my first 800 meters straight today, after three months in the pool. I am really happy. I was aiming 1km but I got a cramp while pushing from the wall after 800 Next time I will do it.

Have a great day everyone
