Jittersthe.Clown Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Great challenge, Wendy. You're going to kick butt at it. Do you have a 5k planned for the end of the race, or just going to run on your own?

Batwoman Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Fair enough. We need our own gif then. Anyone know how to make something like that? I can certainly look into this.

trendywendypdx Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Woo hoo! I'm excited to be in NAG42! I'm glad you put the link in your sig for accountability buddies, Jess. Somehow I missed that.... Correcting this RIGHT NOW. I don't have a 5K planned. Just going to run it on my own unless something compelling comes along. I am all for the group gif. That would be all kinds of awesome! level 6 ranger Current Challenge Fifth | Fourth | Third | Second | First Battle Log Link to comment
Harpy Heather Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Kickass goals, Wendy! You've inspired me to work toward 5k (actually running the whole way, which I currently don't do, lol). Are you liking NROL? Also, group gif is yes.

You've inspired me to work toward 5k (actually running the whole way, which I currently don't do, lol). Are you liking NROL? Also, group gif is yes. Thank you! I do really like the NROL program. It's a good whole body type thing whereas last challenge I was doing a lot more isolation type lifts. They're both fun and useful but I like to switch it up every once in a while.

Batwoman Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 High heels boggle my mind. You look good Can't wait to see where you get to by the end of the challenge (and beyond). I'm a time traveler, but I can only go one way and only a second at a time. Link to comment
trendywendypdx Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I definitely don't wear heels much anymore since I work at home and don't have to go visit customers. I do like how they make my calves look though Thank you - I am pretty pleased with where I'm headed. I think I mostly need to lean out now while keeping the muscle I have.

JessFit Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Cute swimsuit! I love that you're wearing heels too, I wore fuzzy slippers for my before photos!
