CHALLENGE Challenge - Resolution (Page 7)

Was your hair going green ?  

Not quite green, more of an icky yellow color.  Hoping the swimcap will help since I will be in the pool alot this week to finish my challenge minutes.  At least it is warm in the pool.... I have a few more outside running miles too- Brrrr! I'm still chilly from yesterday.

Nice work on the long run yesterday , its essentially a 10 , best is just run by time and it averages out .

I use  map my run afterwards if i run something new to get an idea .   

I have seen runners so obsessed with Garmin  GPS they will cross a busy road just to get the full mile before turning around  and crossing the same busy road !  This is while they are out for a training run .

 
Nice Brick  ....   did you run after the bike ?    We did almost the same workout    except i run first before the bike.  

Good morning team.... Just coming to work after getting a swim in this morning... I am soooo glad, when this challenge is over, especially the swim portion... On the other hand, I signed up for classes next month twice a week, so I guess I just have to keep going.... ARRRGGGHHH.... At least the temparatures are a little milder by now, so I don't get shock-frozen every time I step out of the Y in the morning.

Happy Tuesday and GO TEAM!!!

Morning team!

I am planning on running to the Y to swim at noon.  Will meet my hubby there so I don't need to run home with frozen hair. Another storm/snow predicted for tomorrow- a run day- so I'm trying to get in a few miles today.  Tomorrow will be a few more crappy weather points although even I have to admit all the cold/snow is getting a little old.

Have a great day all and get wet for the team!

Almost 19 miles on the bike this morning followed by a short brick run.  Swimming sometime tonight as well.  Almost done!

Is anyone signed up for a Feb challenge yet?  My travel schedule is going to force a run focused month on me, but seeing how the traveling will be in warmer climates, I am cool with that.

I haven't signed up for anything yet... I don't know what I want to do next month... We'll see...

Got to the pool for some bilateral breathing freestyle , I am very  sloppy but i will get used to it , its amazing how it balances out my stroke.   Air 40F  water 80F  so...  I did not stay on deck very long .

Not signed up for anything next month  but I would like to do a Body Fat % challenge .    

I got my swim total up to 83%!  One more pool session for this challenge!

This morning I will knock out some more run miles!

Work hard guys! The end is within sight!!

kns57 - 2009-01-28 9:23 AM Okay, I hit 100% in strength this morning. Yeah! Have 25 mins to go on the bike (Friday) 30 mins to go in the pool (Thursday) And a little bit over 6 miles to run. I know that isn't much for you long distance runners, but that is my biggest hurdle right now. I think I can get in a bit on Thu, and will actually try for 3 miles on Friday. Then Sat after work I just have to get out there and do what is left. Come on Team! You all can do it! Go Team Resolution! Let's show them that Resolutions don't always fail.

GREAT JOB KENDRA!!!!

GO TEAM!!!

I have 5 miles and a ST to do. Will probably do 2 miles tonight, then 1.5 and 1.5 and then do ST tomorrow or friday night. I will get it done on Friday so I have Saturday to spare if I need it.

Go Team...

Wow what a team , we are rallying big time for a strong finish . Saturday is the last day so there is an extra day this week.  Looking around at the other teams we have the highest % complete  so let's help ourselves by taking care of  our business right here at home .  

I am at 97% complete with one last run left to do . Will probably get it done Friday and  rest saturday.

The wise coach tells his charges before a game/race  :

It takes a PHD to win  at  (..insert sport here)  ......  

Yes . he continues ... Passion , Heart and Desire .

Team Resolution Rocks ! 

Great job everyone!!! GO TEAM RESOLUTION!!!

I have 2 rides, 1 swim and 1 run left. 1 ride will be done tonight, 1 swim tomorrow, Friday is my rest day and I will finish up the month with a little bike/run brick on Saturday.... If I am not coming down with a flu (which I doubt) or break a leg somewhere along the way... I should be able to complete all my goals!

Went over to the Medical Office next door  for a  free TANITA  body analyser test .  Its good to get an accurate mesurement ,    It gives  a printout  with     body fat %  for each arm , leg and trunk  and  whole body , not like the results were any surprise.

It is lower than what i was measuring at home. Relief.
I think my $50 Target  scale at home is off by quite a bit  . On the upper side.

Now i need to go back in a month and   see if its improved  .     Hum ....That sounds like  a goal  for next  month ..  does it not     

Hey Team!  I'm under 9 miles left to run and 1 hour and 25 minutes of pool time.  Planning on swimming tomorrow noon and then Fri or Fri & Sat.  Still not sure if I will divide the run up or just go long on Saturday.  I think I will do some on Friday rather than leave it all to Saturday. If I finish out ahead all the better.

Nice job everyone.  This hasn't been an easy challenge especially with the colds & flus we all have been battling.  Strong work!
