Team Plucky Pineapples (Page 9)

Oh! And I confuse things even more cos it's Monday for me already. I logged 2 workouts today-a 600m swim and a 45 min ride. Should they be included in the totals for today? This made me dizzy last challenge ...and it's not improved.

Week 2 updates are up!!

Sorry to see you go, Kendra. But, you'r right, healing that foot has to be your first priority. So get that foot healed up and we'll be seeing you in future challenges!

 Great Job, Heidi!

I just looked at my plan for the rest of the month. 

If I hit every workout as designed, I will

• meet my run goal by 3 minutes (although the race bonus could push me over by a bit more)
• be 12 minutes shy on my bike goal, (thanks to a lame recovery week) so I can make that up
• meet my lifting goal for the first time this year (good thing I set the target a couple low of the optimistic goal)

How's everyone else doing?  With more than half the month left, I think everyone should be within reach of the goals - might be a stretch, but we can do it as a team!!!

Hey, don't feel bad. You've been sick and it's good that you look after yourself. I'm glad your up and about again. Enjoy your training and have an awesome race.

I'm doing a little extra in my swims so that I can absorb any distractions later in the month. I've done more on my bike than I thought so I should be ok there and my run goal was a bit soft (Ionly put it in as it was the bare minimum I wanted to achieve while chasing the other targets-didn't want my run to drop off completely while I increased my swim and bike).

Oh, and while Iseem to be ok with letting myself down I hate letting other people down. That's why I like thesae challenges-keeps me accountable.

So I'll be fine.

I have to go away for a couple of days. My mothers sister died suddenly(we weren't close) and I am going to the funeral to support. We have to travel interstate and my mother would be travelling alone and she is finding the ordeal(not the travel) quite confronting. I think the family will be difficult so she could do with the company.

I don't know if I will get any training in cos supporting my mum is the first priority. I can certainly make up the session when I get back. This could be a welcome rest.

Keep training team. I'll check up on you all when I get back.

Go Pineapples.

Good morning Team,

 I am Ok so far with everything but my swims. I was on track then they closed the pool for an issue. It will re-open on Thurs and I'll get back on track. I have not ever met a Challenge and I don't intend for this to be the first one. So I'll make it. Everyone have a great week and enjoy the weekend.

Chris

Hi everyone!

I'm right on target with my swim and run (5k race this weekend for double credit), biking is a little behind, but I shouldn't have any trouble making it up, and I absolutely have to get some strength sessions in! I'll do it though no worries. Thankfully, I only signed up for 8

Nice Job, Alyssa! Way to get you're training in while juggling all the haus fra duties
