Champion  6656     |  Subject: RE: Fighting Artichokes - September End of Summer ChallengeSo I forced myself to go to the gym today for an upper strength workout! I figure that the rate limiting step (ok, I'm a nerd...I can accept that) is to get my workout clothes on...that is my point of no return...it also helps to know that I will run into someone I know at the gym at any time, any day...haha...makes me feel less alone in my fitness pursuits I'm gonna do a 1.5-2hr spin session tomorrow on the trainer I think...prob watch a movie to entertain myself...or I could just listen to some audiobook...gotta get it in in the morning cause I'm going to see KEITH URBAN tomorrow night!!! SOOOOO EXCITED!!! FLOOR SEATS!!! YAAAAA!!! (I have seen him before....but I lvoe him so much I will go again) GOO Artichokes! Only a week and a bit left! Lets get 'er done! |

Master 2055  Santa Clarita | Subject: RE: Fighting Artichokes - September End of Summer Challenge I am the same , I keep my workout gear in the car so i never an the excuse . And i find once i get to the pool or on the bike that i get a pretty good workout in . Having the clothes and running shoes handy helps (me) overcome the inertia . Go TEam 10 days left |

Master 1690 Metro NY Area | Subject: RE: Fighting Artichokes - September End of Summer Challenge I'm bringing lot's of my friends from another thread to the run challenge. We're all trying to lose weight and do a HIM next year. I plan to be at 100% by the 30th. I will ramp up my swim a bit (I kind of over estimated considering pool closures and fall). My boot camp classes (strength)are Wednesdays so I'll be taking it to the last day on that. Go Artichokes! Kick it in! kromanowski - 2009-09-22 6:50 PM losta - 2009-09-21 3:43 PM Another BOP Race Report: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... /> Great RR!
