*new* Athena challenge for May (Page 2)

swim 4,000yds

bike 100 miles

run 15 miles

I want to join you all. I do not have a race scheduled for this year as I am healing (for too long now) plantar fasciitis and cannot run. The chiropractor who is treating me with ART is "allowing" me to now walk for 35-40 minutes on soft terrain no more than 3 times a week. In addition, I am retiring from work this year and my partner and I will be doing a two month vacation, part of which will be 2 weeks of biking in New Brunswick Canada. I know this is more information than anyone wants to know, but I'm making my case for no race this year... ;'-)

My goals for next week (4/29-5/5):

Swim 3 times for one hour each

Walk 3 times for 35-40 minutes each (depending on pain)

Bike or Spin 2 times at least an hour each

Yoga one time for an hour

Strength train 2 times (once upper body, once lower body)

Find a day to rest!

Thanks for doing this Susie I think it is something I need! I don't really keep track on the training log here and don't know if that is necessary for this challenge?

Posting this a little late (sorry), but here are my goals for the week of 4/29:

Bike: 3x
Run: 2x
Swim: 1x
Core: 2x

Have a great week everyone! 

Hi all,

I am tapering next week for Sundays Race so it will be an easy week for me:

1 x swim

2 x easy run

3 x easy bike

1 x RACE

Did not make my goal last week - ok on the biking and swimming nada on the running - and now I'm not feeling so good (got a cold)  so I'll do something this week but it's going to depend on how I feel.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Holy moley, this must be another build week for me...

3x swim -- 45 min (2000), 1h10min (3100), 1h (3100)

3x ride -- 70 min, 90 min, and a long 210 min (3h30min)

3 x run -- 45 min, 60 min, 90 min

plus 2 strength sessions for legs and back, 3 for abs/core, and yoga on Sunday (at least 20 mins or I get crazy stiff!)

I think I'm gonna have to be happy if I get 2 of 3 on the run and swim, and 2 of 3 hours on that long ride.

Train hard, rest harder, right ladies?   Have a great week!

Good afternoon ladies,

For the week I will be doing:::: Swim 3 hrs   Bike: 5 hrs and Run: 4 hours.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.

Thanks soooo much for starting this thread for us Athenas. I hope to stay inspired by the rest of you ladies. My week is over-the-top already with 56 hours to work, flipping all 3 shifts (thank you), all-day trip to Vicksburgh with #2 son, and all-day trauma course to teach on Sun. Very simple goal...work out 4 times this week fitting in what I can juggle. Lead on girls, I'm drafting you.

Well, I'm feeling better. 

My big goal for this week (anything else is gravy) is to do one of those 1/2 marathon thingies.

That's on Saturday - and if I finish that - I'll have hit my goal.

Goal 1: finish

Goal 2: Finish in under 3:30 (I SHOULD be able to do this)

Goal 3: Finish in under 3:15 - would be a PB for this distance, but realistically, don't think I can make this happen.

I am getting nervous... what was I THINKING signing up for this thing?

I'm a few days late, but would like to join the fun.

This week: swim 3x, bike 3x, run at least 1x

How exciting!    Good luck!  I'm sure you'll do great!  I'll be thinking of you while I run my measly 2 miles!  lol

WAy cool!! I have posted my week so far. There is not a place for Yoga, so I put it under strength training -- which it doesn't look like I will be getting to this week!!!

Recap goals: swim x3; bike x2; walk x3; strength x2; yoga x1; rest somewhere!

I won't make strength this week, and probably not a rest day although I kind of think of yoga as rest if I don't do something else that day (this week I walk and yoga same day)

Thanks again for doing this.

Way to go!  You can actually log yoga as a sport...look in the list of sports and yoga should be in there.  It will show up as "sport" time on your graph but on your time for the month thing and in your log it will list it as yoga.
