kns57 - 2008-10-02 6:39 AM Can I count walking about 3 miles inside of a 10K square foot library as peach?  If so, I'll definately be able to make 31.  LOL

Yep, that's worthy of peach status!!!

Yesterday - ran 2 miles

Today - bike for 30 min, strength train

With what everyone else is doing I feel like such a slacker. But I am trying to build up (that is my excuse).

As long as you move EVERYDAY, YOU ARE  NOT SLACKING!  Everyone has different goals and objectives.

Can everyone chime in with their goals or why you want to have 31 days of peach?

Coming off of IMKY, I feel compelled to train everyday.  Literally, I do not feel like myself until I have done SOMETHING!   

Right now I am training for a half-marathon the end of this month, would love to set a PR! we'll see what happens.  I want to keep a good base through the winter so when I start ramping up for IM training in 09, I dont feel like I'm starting from scratch.  I also want to change my body composition, which means watching what I eat (as of yesterday I'm limiting sugar, side challenge anyone?) and hitting the weights in the off season.

For me, the 31 days of peach is to get out and do something instead of just sitting on the couch. I just finished my Masters on the 12 of Sept and I gave myself a break to be lazy after that. While I worked to finish up the Sept challenge, I want something to keep me going.

I have been carrying around 10-12 lbs extra since I met my goal weight in May 06. Then with a move to a different state and school I have put off focusing hard on losing it. So I am hoping if I can get to 31 days of activity then I can get the food in check and lose those lbs. While I am still fitting in my close (ok they are not as loose) I am just not happy with myself.

I want to be happy with myself and I think this is the first step.

Yesterday I did a 1.15 mile run and swam 1900 M. It was a good day!

Today I have a 1hr bike ride on the schedule.

I am so excited to see so many people committed to 31 days of activity! WE CAN ALL DO IT!

Well, I don't work out on Sundays. That's why I won't have 31. I worked up a a little chart for my log. If you like it, just copy and paste the following post into your 'goals' in your control panel. I can edit it if we add new people.

Thanks for the inspires already!

My goal: To maintain 60% of my fitness during the 'off' season. See my logs.

This October challenge is to: get me back on a schedule. Since I have no races until next spring, I have a HUGE lack of motivation.

I fear: gaining back more than five pounds over the winter.

This morning I put 1800 yards in at the pool. I plan to run tonight.

My reason for peach 31 is to make sure that I have done something active each day.  No excuses, now that walking the building at work counts.

I'm doing the Peach Challenge because I slacked off way too much last month after IMKY. It's so much harder to get motivated without a goal! I've also earned some extra fat. My weight doesn't reflect it, but my clothes reveal my secret - and so does my body fat percentage. I feel miserable and I need to be held accountable!

I have joined the Peach challenge because I also don't have any races until next year and I am still deciding what races to do.  I want to make sure that in the meantime I keep active so I don't gain any weight and I can increase my distance for next years races.  This was my first year in triathlon and I completed a sprint distance and next year I am definitely going to do an Olympic distance triathlon.  However I am very tempted in signing up for a HIM as Muskoka is only 2 hours from where I live.  Anyone else think that may be biting off more than I can chew?

You can do a HIM next season, go for it.  I did a HIM my second season of tri-ing and a full IM in my 3rd season.  Canadarn just did Muskoka, she can weigh in on the course/race.

Be prepared for the increase in volume from Oly to HIM training.  Check out the training plans on BT so you know what you are in for.

Arnoldro...I did just do the Muskoka 70.3! It was definately...challenging!! The bike is very hilly but it's doable if you train appropriately! I had only done sprints prior to this as well! You can do it! Huntsville area is so pretty at that time of year!

I am doing the Peach challenge b/c I was inspired by Abbie. I feel that now that my HIM is over I am not getting as good of workouts in and I just need something to keep me focused and challenged.

I am training for a few 1/2 marathons right now. I am racing next weekend up in Baltimore and possibly November in Wilmington, NC and then I am signed up for the Kiawah Island, SC 1/2 marathon in December.

Yesterday I did a weight workout in the morning (50 mins or so)
15 mins walking on the treadmill (incline)
Then did a 1hr 16 min OWS after work.

Today I ran before work...just 24 mins.

Oh...and I have challenged myself to do the stairs at work each. My goal is to complete 500 in a month. I sound insane, don't I???

Can I join?!

I didn't know what the peach boxes meant.  What do the darker peach boxes mean?

I want to join because I want to get below 200 by the end of the year.  Sadly, that was my goal last year at this time as well but I think I can do it this year!

I'm also running a 5k at the beginning of December and it'll be my first race ever. 

Yesterday I did 40 minutes of weights and 30 minutes of running.

Today I did 20 minutes of running and 35 minutes of swimming.  

Tomorrow, I want to do a very light workout so that will be TBD.

Yep, you are in!  Dark peach are days when there is no S/B/R logged, I think.
