Good morning everyone!

What's going on today?

Was tired last night.  No run scheduled today, but I am really thinking about getting some dirt in my diet tonight.....

Scott - where do you go?  Green Mountain or somewhere else?

Ended up blowing it off, I was tired and we needed to do house cleanup in prep for a slumber party tonight.

Right now, I do a lot along Bear Creek and into Bear Creek park.  I can get to the trail in less than 5 minutes and I have a lot of technical skills to recover so it is usually a good confidence builder. 

I did do Green Mountain loop a couple of weeks ago as part of my commute when I had a class at the Fed Center.  It was fun to get over there again.  This fall I want to get up to Evergreen and do Elk Meadow and Three Sisters ( I always liked those trails)  If I can get a nice window of time I am thinking about riding to either Waterton Canyon or Mt Falcon then hitting the trails - those would probalby involve 1.5 to 2.5 of "road time" just getting to and from the dirt than play around for an hour or two.

ironannekidd - 2012-08-22 6:21 AM I got beat up at my daughter's softball practice last night. Right now I can barely lift my right arm above my head, I think I may have pinched a nerve in my shoulder.

 

Hope your shoulder feels better soon!

I love this challenge!  It's really helped me get back into running.  I finally feel like I have my workout mojo back!  Today was another trip to the new gym for an intense 30 minutes of kickboxing.  I have to say today's workout of was the hardest so far but I love how strong it makes me feel.  My favorite today was squats with shin kicks.  I felt like I was actually kicking the bag pretty hard and I am finally starting to get the hang of the speed bag  

This weekend I'm hoping to run both saturday and sunday and maybe do some strength training or something... I'm already looking forward to Monday for my next kickboxing workout

Awfully quiet in here!!!

Just because there are some people with great months going doesn't mean you cannot put together a great month of your own!!!  These challenges are about "challenging" yourself and if you happen to hit a good month and pull a victory out then bravo.  But if you do a PR month or get back on the horse that kicked you off - even more bravo to you!!!

Finish strong everyone and you will be ready for a great fall season!!!



Thanks for the reminder, I feel like I really fell down on my yoga requirement for the month but I will try to have a good last 6 days.

Onward and upward to a spring Marathon BQ attempt with some good running base

Nice!!!

Had a 8 miler yesterday that ended as a slight struggle. 


Today, I went and watched some really fast riders in the final TT of the USA ProChallenge.  George's last race (or so he says)

Summer has come back to Denver.  After some cooler days, yesterday's 96 at the race (and the ride home)  and today's 92 led to a labored 5k - at least that is my story

Summer heat is back in Richmond too.  A very hot and sticky 7.5 mile run.

I skipped yesterdays run, was feeling beat up after the long hill session on Monday.  Today was a new day and I had a great run.

I would like to apologize for being the worst challenge hostess EVER!

Good job for all of you that were able to log your workouts though. I will give you until Sunday evening to log your workouts and update the spreadsheet, then I will announce the winner.

Finally updated my training log and the spreadsheet for the past two weeks but I concede defeat of the challenge to either Darren or Judi unless a BOPer comes blazing through. Looks like Darren has it in the bag but will need to get some Inspires done since Judi's written way more than the required 30.

It was a fun challenge, Ann. Thanks for setting it up. It was nice to meet and race all of you. Enjoy the rest of your tri season and training!

Darren probably gets the win.  His ultra and marathon killed my chance.  Unless I do about 4 hours of yoga today instead of work .....and my boss won't appreciate that.

Great work everyone!  It has been a good month training!

 

I finished with a solid 57 minute run today.

If your boss is going to be that picky you should start looking for another job.
