M - 60 min. 2000 pool yds 
W - 75 min. 2700 yds. 
F - 44 min. 2100 yds/1.2mile. A long swim is not a smart way to help the x-training team here, sorry. A work out with lots of short distances and lots of rests would have yielded me 75 min. Oh well I need to start putting in a long swim each week, just like running.

Thanks Mill for this fun competition. I only did 95 min of XT last week, but that's about 60 min more than I probably would have done w/o this game. 
I'll try to crank it up a notch for this final week!

Hmmm, I'm lagging behind. When I get home tonight, I'll try to punch out 30 mins of abs work. Might be difficult depending on what time I get home after my bored, er, um "BOARD" meeting tonight. If it doesn't work out, I have a 1 hour yoga class planned for tomorrow morning, at least, and maybe I'll get there early and do 30 mins abs again! 
You boys are toast......might as well give up now.

evanflein · Dec 18, 2007

millbot · Dec 22, 2007

Standings are updated in the first post. With today, Saturday, and Sunday left in the competition, here are some highlights. 
The ladies will win on total minutes, but the per-capita contest could go either way. 
The ladies' crown will probably go to Sans Souci, but choovie or hally could sneak up on her if they didn't have much else to do this weekend. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> If jura had shown up earlier, she would definitely be in the race. 
The men's crown will go to Labduck or JJJessee. It's too close to call!
