CCPP Saturday ~ Check-in

I improvised and Jimmy the Wondermutt and I hit the local trails. We ran the challenges and walked the rests. I'm going through a rough patch right now in my life, so listening to Coach Sean was exactly what I needed to get into the proper frame of mind. I'm feeling great!!!

Christine - hope all is ok with you and that the rough patch passes quickly. I bet Jimmy the Wondermutt helps out a lot...nothing like a furry friend to understand all of our problems, never judge us and always love us :)
 
You guys! You guys! You guys!! I TOTALLY ROCKED this workout today!!!! :D

I'm SO excited, and I'm in SUCH a good mood! I was really skeptical about getting through Press Play with the bonus challenge, especially THAT challenge. Oh God, of all the CC challenges, the 2nd one from Volume 8 is the only one I truly dread. I could not even believe Sean picked that one. WHY would he pick THAT one!!? :eek: LOL!!!! I don't know... maybe it was the new "twist" he put on it -- the 20/40 split -- but I got through it and lived to tell the story :p . Anyway, I'm sorry it took me so long to check-in with you. I fell asleep after the workout! Can you believe that!?

I always have a glass of wine with dinner on Saturday night (it's my drinking night :p) and I'm going to drink a toast to Coach Sean and all of you!! You guys are the best!! This is such a kind, FUN, and supportive group. It's my favorite check-in.

I dedicated my workout, first and foremost, to Coach Sean. I don't know if you're reading this, but I hope you know how much I (we) appreciate you. I could never push through these workouts, and some other tough challenges, without your encouragement. I also worked it hard for Gin, Carola, Lori's DH, Shelley's sister, Becky's DH (hey, where is Becky today!? She never misses PP. I hope everything is okay!). And a BIG Happy Birthday to Shelley!!!

Christine, I don't know what's going on with you, but my thoughts and prayers are for smooth edges around your rough patch. ;)

^5's to all of you for an AWESOME workout!!! :D

feelin' accomplished

I'm done! Whewwwweeeeee:confused::D Nothing cleans out my lungs like PP......I swear the lungs feel like they will burst during that workout. Instead of Sean's challenge I added on ab ripper 200 and the stretch from HSC. Ahhhhh, that stretch felt good.:)

Good job to all my fellow Catheites who made it thru PP. You guys rock!!;) Best of luck to all of you going thru tough times......hopefully things will start to go your way.

Enjoy your endorphin filled Saturday night!!:cool:

Hey all! Way to go on today's PP!!

I had STS scheduled for today and so I postponed it until tomorrow.

I have it downloaded with that dreadful bonus... I can't wait! :p

Michele you are so sweet! Thank you for your post. It brought tears to my eyes. I love being in this group!! I keep trying to talk my two friends (Kristi and Angela) into joining in here. They do PP with us and LOVE it... but don't want to post. But I'm determined to convince them that this is the greatest check-in in the world!

Well, Mike had another seizure a few weeks ago but is doing better now. We don't have a clue what causes them but have just learned to deal with them as they come. Thank you for your positive thoughts for him. They mean so much to both of us.

I'll be sure to check in after the workout.

Have a peaceful night everyone!

Whew! Finally managed to get it done. I admit I was putting it off, and even as I started I wondered if I would have the mental stamina to finish. But as usual, about halfway through I hit my stride and finished strong. No extra challenge for me, though.

I kept thinking about Becky's husband, Gin, Carola, Shelley's sister, Sean, Michele, and everyone else, and if everyone can power through the challenges they're facing in life, then by golly, I could suck it up and get through the workout!

Have a great Sunday, everyone!
 
I just finished and this CCPP workout was THE BEST EVER!!!

I have to admit that I was not looking forward to that added challenge, but when it was time for it, I was more than ready!!

Big shout-out to COACH SEAN!!! As always, YOU ROCK MY WORLD!!! And ^^^^^5's to all you CCPP fanatics. Great job everyone! One of the best parts of doing CCPP is reading through all of these posts and knowing that we are all doing it together.

Enjoy your day...:D
 
Whew!

I just finished and I don't think I have ever sweat more in my life. I am on such an endorphine high! :D

That final bonus challenge was unrelenting but the music was amazing! I loved it.

The positive energy that is created from this workout is truly amazing. I love checking in here and feeling that collective positivity and love from all of you.

High fives to you all!

Peace,

Becky

Great memory! Yes, that was the challenge I chose last month. Did you add it to the end? That's what I do...just to see what I'm made of ;)

I always do the bonus challenge at the end too! After reading that you did V8 C2 last month, I kept wondering if I could do it after the regular CCPP workout! It was awesome and definitely says something about what we (all of us! :)) are made of. Coach Sean says "Start getting your mind right", and that is such a huge part of it!!

Great job everyone! I too, love reading how hard everyone worked and that we all were in it together :D
 
I finally finished! Well, actually at about 3:45 this afternoon, but I've been super-busy since then.

I decided for the extra challenge that for the first 8 minutes, I would do the 20 second level 4 intervals as hills, and for the second 8 minutes as sprints (too much adjusting on a treadmill to do both for that short a time). Anyway, I ended up clocking in at just over 8.5 miles. And I am SPENT! Yowza! But it was a great workout today, and as always, I was thinking of everyone facing challenges in their lives.

Christine - I sure hope your rough patch passes quickly!
