I am headed to Vegas for my annual participation in the Baker to Vegas Relay ??. My leg is only six miles so I need to cook up lots more miles while I’m there.

Originally posted by Hot RunnerI managed a "long ride" of 30 minutes today. First workout of any kind of the get sweaty and get heart rate up variety since Challenge Wanaka five weeks ago. (I have been walking 1-2 hours a day almost every day, doing a short routine of squats, high knees, and a few other run drills that have a no-impact version, plus about two hours of PT stuff a day, mostly stretches, but haven't been allowed to sweat until now.) Arrrrrgh! Just feels like there is ZERO fitness left. I did manage to get on/off Andreas; couldn't get up the nerve to try clipping in/out so rode in running shoes. Plus sitting up on a tri bike--it felt a bit awkward, to say the least!

Originally posted by Hot Runner LOL Sweating is the one ability I don't seem to have lost! 30 minutes did not feel so awful tonight. I do think I will need to use a gym bike for anything much over an hour until I can at least get into a normal road position on Andreas. Sitting straight upright (as in hands not even on the regular bars) on a tri bike (and I have one of those fancy "ism" tri saddles with the groove in front that is really only meant for aero position) is really hard on the butt!

Here's the April Challenge sheet, as promised. Please feel free to edit the sheets as well as sign up for the various challenges.

The main change is to the Strength/Core/Yoga/PT one where you set a goal of number of sessions/week and you are scored on meeting your personal goal.

I'm sorry that I've been out of touch. Work and training have been keeping me busy. I'm headed out of town Wed-Fri but thing should settle down after that.

I've been out of touch too, but I'm happy to say it was b/c I was in the mountains! Unfortunately, I'm home now; so back to the normal grind

thanks for putting the challenge together and enjoy your time away!

Same as above. My goals are to get off my butt every day (trainer or stationary six days a week, 60-90 minute walk when possible) and do PT stretches/exercises every day. Not sure when I will hit the pool again. Just don't feel that our facility is that clean, nor do I feel mobile enough to do much there yet--won't be able to keep warm. Will give it a few more weeks and see how I feel then.

I miss Eugene. There was a warm, salt-water therapy pool in a community facility that you could only access with a prescription from a doctor or PT. That would have been perfect right now.

A little bit of a funny story from a scary time:

Today is the 40th anniversary of the Three Mile Island (TMI as it's known locally) nuclear plant partial meltdown.  At the time, my family lived less than 15 miles away from the plant as the crow flies and my grandparents were maybe 4 miles away from TMI, so they (my grandparents) evacuated almost immediately and came to live with us for a short time. 

As a youngster who had just turned 6, I certainly didn't understand 'radiation' and 'meltdown' and such things but did know that something bad happened.  One evening very early on in the incident, my mom and I stopped to pick up  subs from an Italian sub shop in the town where I now live (which is maybe halfway between my childhood home and TMI) and I remember opening the sub wrapper and seeing white specks all over the sub roll and mildly freaking out saying it was radiation and I wasn't going to eat the sub.  My parents eventually talked sense into me and I ate the sandwich.  Yup, 6 year olds easily confuse radiation and flour.
