iowagander - 2010-01-01 2:25 PM I just have to share a cool little New Years event with you guys. I'm sitting in the living room on my laptop and my 7 year old daughter is across the room jumping rope and LOGGING her exercises. So far she's done two three-set workouts and has added them up to see if she's improved (which she did - the first group of 3 totaled 104, the second was 111).

The best thing about this is she came up with it all on her own! She hadn't even seen my training log before! It looks like I've got my very own little OCD athlete in the making


LOL!!!Impressive jumpingSurprised


She says "Thank you!" I told her that I was telling my "training buddies" about her jumping log and she thought that was pretty cool.


Go Jumper Girl!

aspeelma - 2010-01-01 7:30 AM Good morning Ghoulies!!!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!

Here is the challenge for January, since it is already the 1st and we don't have anything yet.

I challenge you all to run 13.1 miles this month. That's it, you just need to run 13.1 miles. Our aqua-joggers will have to gives us minutes. If you run an 8 minute mile than 13.1 x 8 = how many aqua-jogging minutes you need.

How about that one for THE VILLAGE??!!??!!

If we keep this going until spring I've got an even better one planned. 

Off to shower then putz around until it gets a little warmer and I go for my run.

 


I LOVE this idea Ann! Granted, it's mostly because I'm already planning on doing it, bu 's still a sweet idea! Maybe someone can design a "Finisher T" for the January Ghoulie Half Marathon? I'd be willing to buy one!


What do you guys think?

Um... NO. Tom and I are the only ones that have to run 13.1 miles at one time this month. You just have to run a total of 13.1 miles this month.

Ok Village here's the dealMy half marathon is in 2 weeks. I have not run at all this week because I have been running a low grade fever and coughing my head off. I want to run, I just get so winded just walking from one end of my house to the other.Tell me I'll be ok for my HM in 2 weeks. You can lie to me, that's ok, I'll believe you, just tell me not to worry about it.

Ann - you WILL be ok for Rock n Roll Half Marathon AZ. You've built your base, your body is strong, and it will fight off your illness. Don't lose heart, don't give up, and as your health returns ease back into your training so you're 100% come race day. YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!

I like this!!!  With Ann & Tom's races, we have at least two in the bag.  I should be able to contribute enough total miles for a couple.

Ann, I'm not a very good liar.  You'll not only be ok.  You'll be terrific.  The best thing you can do right now is rest.  You have the base and this is a different version of a taper.  My first sprint tri several years ago, I was sick as a dog two weeks before the race.  I finished WAY faster than some of my training partners who should have finished with me.  I'm convinced it's because I had a forced taper and they kept squeezing every bit of training in they could.

Lots of rest and fluids. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. This you will need and it can't be done in a day.  Phoenix will be a bit warmer than what you're used to. Stock up on fluids now.  I'm excited for you!  You're going to have a blast.

Just trust in all of the hard work and training that you have already put in.  Missing one week of training is not going to erase all of the fitness gains you've made up to this point.  Ease back into training but don't do anything too strenuous in the next two weeks and I am sure you will have a fantastic race!
