As usual, limited time. But want to semi-stay on top of the check in before it gets away from me.
Helen: I could do the rides in any order. BUT ... I feel they design it pretty well. It usually goes, tough, not as tough, tough, not as tough. I have to do the 5 core rides + one Accelerator ride to qualify for the 2 extra credit rides. (This challenge, we can do one Power Zone ride for extra credit and ANY Peloton wokrout 30 minutes or longer to qualify. Gives me a little bit more variety). BUT ~ the extra credit rides can be done any time during the week and then checked off once completed. I analyze the week to see what workout fits best with my schedule. Historically
(and this challenge is following the same plan) Weeks 6 and 7 are the most grueling and highest in TSS score. I like to get Monday's ride done Sunday, then 2 easy ones Monday. Just sets my week up better. They used to post several weeks at a time. Now they put out the next week's on Wed. and that's it. Can never be real far ahead. I'm glad I'm not travelling or vacationing as there's not much wiggle room to make up the rides. I think a lot of the team scores are suffering because of it. And because I always do my Sundays with Love ride with Nancy on Sunday - I get one of my Extra credit rides in without even thinking about it.
Pam: Headaches are no FUN at all! Glad you are feeling better.
Kay: I hope they figure out your meds. Passing out is kind of freaky. Tweaking muscles. Grumble, grumble ... I was walking up the steps and my knee did something wonky (it is fine now) but the pain was terrible. Like it went off track. And for no good reason at all. (Much like when I throw my back out). uggggg. we must be so careful.
(PS... the knee is fine and was fine by the next day). I thought of you the other day - my son (the one I used to hike with) ordered a rower. He got the water kind - can't wait to try it.
I have my terrible (cheap) one. Which I probably should hop on one of these days. May be time to upgrade.
Lili: Of course, I never pulled out the UNplugged workouts. I really should though. oy ... Keep talkin' em up. Never know when it might click with me.
Ok, on to me, me and all me:
7/6/2020: Power Zone 45 minutes endurance ride with Matt, plus
30 minute endurance ride with Olivia and then added on
5 minutes of Dead bug with Christine plus cool down
stretches
7/7/2020: (Back at it) TOUGH
60 minute Power Zone ride !!!! Oy ... I just have one more tough, tough ride this week and it's done. I added on a
10 minute cool down ride (because they are so beneficial - I am learning to
JUST ALLOW enough time to do them) and a
stretch
I'm getting to the "tired" part of the week. But I will manage. I think today will be another endurance ride before work and then I only have one more tough ride!
Oh and Helen - I can't calculate weight in stones and am so glad we don't weigh that way. I imagine it could seem like forever to take it off! We get frustrated when we are only losing .5 of a pound or a pound, I can't even imagine stones!!! Goal is to lose approximately 4.29 more stone (or is it stones?) by the end of the journey before maintenance...
(yes - I cheated and used Google.!!!)
Make it a great day everyone!!
