Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: September North-South Swim and/or Bike Challenge rnihill - 2011-09-12 8:05 PM Good morning! Sorry I've been a little quiet on the thread this month... just really busy trying to get a promotion at work and getting the kid back to school, soccer, girl scouts, etc. I did get my half century in yesterday and it felt pretty good! Or would have felt good if I wasn't hanging back with my friends for part of it. They were totally shot about half way through and I couldn't get any momentum on the downhills to get up the uphills and then had to crawl up the uphills... but I love 'em and hung with them for a while! After all we were doing it as an opportunity to get together. But when they started walking their bike up hills with 8 to go, they took pity and told me to meet them at the end. Now I just need to get my butt to the pool... Half century, killing your friends, no sweat Good luck on getting the promotion, you deserve it! |
that deserves a bike-chain congrats!

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: September North-South Swim and/or Bike Challenge blbriley - 2011-09-13 1:03 AM OK South, it's time to rise up and face this challenge. 40% of September is gone. Let's do this!!! Here's your motivation: "Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated" The SOUTH will rise again!!!*

Master 1623  | Subject: RE: September North-South Swim and/or Bike Challenge Got a run and some strength training in today. Tomorrow's another bike day. Slowly but surely getting back into a decent schedule for triathlon training. I'm ready for October so I can start swimming again too. |

Master 2042 Albany, NY | Subject: RE: September North-South Swim and/or Bike Challenge Ok, step 1... I have my swim stuff on the car. Now I just need to head my car in the direction of the pool before picking up the kiddos for soccer practice. |

Elite 2640 Ontario, Canada | Subject: RE: September North-South Swim and/or Bike Challenge I hope everyone's week is off to a good start! I am going to have to stop challenges for now because I am overloaded with some stuff and won't be able to regularly train. I can either remove myself from the list or we could count my progress to date and calculate it based on the 13 elapsed days.
I have two beautiful foster kittens with upper respiratory viruses that need their meds now so I will check on everyone's decision tomorrow. |

Master 2042 Albany, NY | Subject: RE: September North-South Swim and/or Bike Challenge Yes... that's right... I actually got my butt in the pool! I finally have something other than a big fat zero in my swim column.  |

Member 99 Lexington, KY | Subject: RE: September North-South Swim and/or Bike Challenge Great job Rhoda, I bet it felt GREAT! And Melissa I am cool with you doing either one. Personally if I had to do all the calculations to only count you for the first 13 days I would just have you pull out altogether but lucky for all of us I don't have to do that part ;-) I hope the kitties are okay and I hope you find some time to take care of YOU and get out there to swim and bike!! |

I can still get in the pool, and can also go to the beach, so I have no excuse for not at least practicing the little bit I've learned so far. I'd be pretty much flailing for a few feet at a time, haha! Edited by Blanda 2011-09-13 9:10 PM |

Master 1623 | Subject: RE: September North-South Swim and/or Bike Challenge I biked again today! Today was a hectic day at work. The afternoon was crazy busy and I ended up getting off work 30 minutes late and was extremely tempted to skip my ride but made myself hop on the bike and get my 10 miles in. Glad I did because I know I'd be regretting it now had I skipped. James and I made steak and baked potatoes for dinner. It was really good! Tomorrow's my day off so I should be going to the gym with James at some point for some strength training and a run. Hope everyone's week is going well! |

Master 1623 | Subject: RE: September North-South Swim and/or Bike Challenge I'm starting to become way too good at hurting myself... I now have a lovely 3in bruise on my shin. It's of course on the same leg as my bruised heel and right next to the 3in long scar that I got a couple months ago. At least they've all been minor scrapes and bruises but I would like to be able to go more than a week without injuring myself in some way! |
