  1. I don't think you should be so down on yourself. You're doing lots of stuff! From here it looks like you're doing great!
  2. WHOOPS I just figured out that I started this challenge a week early, so I seem to be having a 5 week challenge. LOL. What I'll probably do is cash out today as the end of Week 4, then make up some specialized goals for "Bonus Week 5." Was going to change up the format anyway... getting bored with the list style.
  3. BGV!!!!! This is like Christmas!!
  4. Welcome back!! Sorry to hear about your son. Sometimes when it's really minor, I've heard they can grow out of it...
  5. Haha! That stinks... Literally Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
  6. I'm sorry about your dryer! How is the roller blading going?
  7. How are you getting these ride maps up here? Screenshot, orrrr? Nice going on your commute!
  8. Wow! Thanks for sharing pictures. Very impressive!!!
  9. Week 3 Goal 1 Distance Run 25 miles per week - Ran 23.6 67.2/100 Goal 2 Strength Yoga class: 1 per week - Done 3/4 Pushups: 3 x per week - 2 6/12 Squats: 3 x per week - 2 6/12 Goal 3 Diet Track calories using MFP, 7 days per week 16/28 100 g protein per day 16/28 Goal 4 Meditation 10 minutes of meditation, at least 5 days per week - I'll give myself credit for 4 11/20 Overall: Half marathon was a bit rocky. Completed it in 2:24, which is decent! Not my fastest or slowest time. Around mile 8 I got a case of the "runner's runs," but no bathroom in sight, so I ran in agony the remaining 5 miles to the finish line. Made it there and chugged 16 oz water, then immediately puked it up. Felt better after that. Other than those issues, had a great run. I didn't feel sore or depleted at all later in the day, and the next day went on a 17.5 mile bike ride. It was a fun weekend. I've been making a marathon training schedule. Running a full only 11 weeks away, which means I need to begin to build distance immediately. Basing the plan on good old Hal's Novice 2, so pretty easy going with the longest run being 20 miles a few weeks before the race. The marathon itself is mostly flat, thank god. Also, there will be aid stations every 1.5 miles, which might mean a marathon of leisure, if that's even a thing. This week I'll start preparations by running with a hydration pack. Also breaking in what I hope will be my marathon shoes - Kinvara NYC's. They are so cute! Pretty amped.
  10. That does sound epic! Good going (literally)
  11. Week 1 and 2 Goal 1 Distance Run 25 miles per week 43.6/100 Goal 2 Strength Yoga class: 1 per week 2/4 Pushups: 3 x per week 4/12 Squats: 3 x per week 4/12 Goal 3 Diet Track calories using MFP, 7 days per week 9/28 100 g protein per day 9/28 Goal 4 Meditation 10 minutes of meditation, at least 5 days per week 7/20 Had a rough week... another entire week long marathon of boring meetings. So sucky. Wasn't really supposed to talk, but raised my hand a bunch for funsies. Lol. Sleep going a bit better. Finally back on schedule, and I've stopped feeling so tired that it hurts. All good. 2 races next week: Wednesday evening trail race, and half marathon on Saturday morning. Wish me luuuucck!
  12. It was freaking amazing. I really want to go back!
  13. Hey, that's a great tip! Thanks!!
  14. Busted my ass on the trail yesterday! Trouble walking today, plus cramps. But it was awesome. Currently at 16 miles for the week and done with strength work. Yoga tomorrow, 10 mi Saturday and we'll call it a good week. Sleeping habits are not good. Adjusted to Japan time, which is about 3/4 of a day ahead. It sucks! Did this thing over the holiday weekend where I slept from 2 am to 1 pm, so who knows what time zone that is. Then started work yesterday and didn't sleep at all, now slowly easing back into regular sleep schedule. Actually, about to go to bed now. Lots of cat naps during the day in my car. Not fun.

  15. The goal is intentionally open ended. I usually do a few 3's, a few 5's, and a 10 every week. Sometimes it's all 5s, sometimes it's three 3's and a 15... You get the picture Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk
  16. Upping your game... I like it. Sounds like a great month ahead. Where are you going in the US? Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk

  18. Final Report: Challenge 16 Goal 1 Distance Run 25 miles per week 75/100 Not my best month of running. My excuse is that I needed about two weeks to recover after that half marathon. Will try harder next challenge. Goal 2 Strength Yoga class: 1 per week 1/4 Pushups: 3 x per week 10/12 Squats: 3 x per week 9/10 Feel great about my progress with squats. Initial max was 20, and max in the last week of the challenge was 60. Very happy with that. My progress on pushups has somewhat leveled off. Having trouble breaking 42 pushups in a day, or doing more than 10 in a set. And yoga... did not happen. Lol. Goal 3 Diet Track calories using MFP, 7 days per week 18/28 100 g protein per day... Perfect protein 20/28 You may notice that I missed a few in there. Not the best diet month. Haha. Goal 4 Meditation 10 minutes of meditation, at least 5 days per week 16/20 Slacked off a bit in the final week, but otherwise did pretty good
  19. What? Ah! Lol. I will look for the dish, haha Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk
