I ended last week with 160 minutes logged, yes on water. This week I really want to at least make it to Buff!0
-
Will be buff again. My personal goal is to swim a full lap without stopping to catch my breath. After my private lesson today, I can hopefully improve my form and be able to really do laps.0

Went MIA from the challenge last week, but I'm going for buff this week.
We are having the most horrendous heat wave which is making exercising a bit rough, but I guess I just need to suck it up and get to the gym instead of running outside.0 -
I'll throw my hat in the ring and shoot for Buff!! Need to start doing something daily... this should help!!0
-
I'd like to make it to buff as well.0
-
New to the weekly challenge, but I'm going to shoot for Buff.0
-
well, so far this week I am at 70 minutes...I gotta make sure I get in good workouts for rest of the week!0

Debbie! Thank you so much for setting this up!
We made it to Jackson Hole, Wy! We finally have internet access! Basically Jackson Hole seems to be where Wyoming hides the super rich people, but I am not complaining because there is a big bathtub and we got Thai food for dinner!!
We have been hiking tons and tons. Here is an overview:
Beartooth/Absaroka Mountains-
1.75 miles to a spectacular waterfall
1 mile to a slightly less spectacular waterfall
6 miles on the Stillwater River to a lake
Yellowstone NP-
~7 miles around the South Rim of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone (We went off trail some so exact numbers are hard to pin down)
5.3 miles to Fairy Falls
3.4 miles on the Divide Trail to the Continental Divide
We, also, managed to squeeze in our friends wedding + wedding activities in there somewhere. And I had the stomach flu for a couple of days. *sigh*
It has been a lot of fun but OH MY the blisters on my feet smart! I am starting to look forward to being home and getting back into a routine. But first we have to see the Grand Tetons!
I'll calculate my minutes later but I suspect I *might* make elite this week. :-)
Later friends!

267 minutes for me last week. Had my private swim lesson and found I was doing nearly everything wrong! I've been working on it and doing better, but I wasnt' able to get to doing a whole lap without stopping. Too much concentrating on my form to concentrate on breathing correctly. :grumble:Will be buff again. My personal goal is to swim a full lap without stopping to catch my breath. After my private lesson today, I can hopefully improve my form and be able to really do laps.
