Great poem, Cindy!  I'm fired up!  I'm going to run around my desk 5 times!  I'm going to swim home from work!  I'm going to do 5-a-day workouts!

I'm not at all concerned about the individual goals, but the OVERALL is cause for concern...We're down by 3.4%!  Let's get those workouts in bEASTies!  No fading down the stretch.  Doesn't matter where you are vs. goal or what's happened so far this month.  Just get those workouts in any way you can...  And as many as you can.  I doubled up today and I'm planning on doubling up again tomorrow and Friday.

Here we go bEASTies, here we go!

We are the bEASTies from the east y'all
Comin' to kick sum butt y'all
Wearin' bicycle cleats, we will defeat
Those other guys from the West y'all

The TWISTERS blow a lotta hot air
Back home in the EAST where the weather's fair
There ain't no such thing as a losing streak
So swimmin', we're winnin', we're the team to beat

Running in the East, dripping blood, sweat and tears
The bEASTies are on fire; we know what the Twisters fear
Running, swimming, biking bEASTs from East
Go home and cry yourself to sleep, no shame in the least

ETA - got quotes around my own post

ebshot - 2010-03-24 12:44 PM UGH!  Today has turned into an unplanned rest day.  The school nurse called just as I was getting ready to ride and run.  Cole is sick again.  Stomach virus.  Again.  Really???  So, he is home, all showered and watching a movie.  I guess I could ride the trainer but my motivation left when the phone call came. 

rnihill - 2010-03-24 1:18 PM I am so jealous of those of you who can work out in the morning.   If I can manage to get my body out of bed and to the pool, I can usually get a good swim workout in.  And I feel good the rest of the day too.  And I get to smell like chlorine...  love it!  But my body just doesn't agree with biking and especially running until I've been awake for at least an hour.  I'm miserable doing it and I'm miserable later because I got less sleep and wasted time on a crappy workout. 

I've toyed with the idea of weaning myself off the coffee in the morning.  Maybe if my body doesn't depend on it to wake up, I could wake up easier in the morning and actually get some workouts in?  I don't know if I am that brave though.  I really like my coffee.

Thanks Bill...I posted it on the TWISTERS' thread!  A little smack-talking goes a long way...

You have to RAISE the hammer before letting it DROP

IT'S HAMMER TIME, bEASTies!

Happy Birthday Alex!  Wait until you have kids that break out of teenage-hood.  I have a son that turns 20 next month!  Talk about feeling old!

Jackie,

You guys conceded to us TWISTERs so you don't need to log any more workouts.  Other than that there was just a lot of rejoicing that the torture was over, you could relax knowing that the TWISTER's rule, and you were just going to drink the rest of the month.

It was kind of sad to be honest with you - I was hoping for a good fight through 3/31 but it was not in the cards.

See you next month.
