Hey guys! WAY TO GO on staying in the lead!!! Team S is AWE<b>S</b>OME!!!<br><br>
I am running 7 - 8 tomorrow so that should bring in a few more points. It hasn't been a good week and I haven't been able to do any cross training on my "rest" days. I am SO SORRY!!! DH did send me out tonight to run b/c he wanted cooking oil to bake a cake. I was like SURE! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
JJJ - that shot is BEAUTIFUL!!! I ran a little bit in my dad's down of Cottonwood, AZ and they lived at the bottom of Mt. Mingus and were about 20 min. away from Sedona, AZ. I have to admit, the scenery running out there was UNBELIEVABLE! It made you want to keep going! Thanks for sharing the pix!
 
What's your problem with Muzik? She's just a person who volunteered to collect our points - nothing more, nothing less.<br><br>
Before we even started you were on her because she doesn't run seven days a week. Being team captain doesn't imply that somebody is going to be the team point leader.<br><br>
VRAA is about fun and perhaps a little extra motivation to log a few more miles.
 
Hey team - if this was a real game, this is the time that the coach would come in, yell at us and give a motivational speech about teamwork etc. But this is just goofing around on the internet, so that aint gonna happen......<br><br>
Meanwhile, in virtual reality.....<br><br>
Team J is right with us at the end of Day 15. With everyone's points entered we are at 6,057, they are 7 points behind. I don't get to see which of their team has entered points but they took a big leap this evening so I suspect that they entered everyone but we wont find out for sure until Roots updates the page in a couple days.<br><br>
So it looks like we will both get to Surf City tomorrow unless someone feels like racking up 135 points before midnight (I guess midnight pacific coast since we are now riunning california). Anyone up for a 34 mile night run?
 
Hey, I totally forgot I was helping my sister and her family move tonight. I spent over 2.5 hours hauling boxes and stuff upstairs and then moving it around inside. (there were only 4 adults, and my sis left to run errands at one point).<br><br>
I'm going to count this as an hour of alternative workout, thanks. I'm both tired and sore. 12 more points for me. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

This is loser talk.
 
Hey Antag!<br>
What's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1FaflUn4Co&feature=related" target="_blank">up</a> my man.<br><br>
I don't blame ya for wanting a front row seat.<br>
It's gonna be an exciting <b>V R A A</b> day -<br>
S and J down to the wire.<br><br>
fueling up<br>

I think IEH4M has a 50k today<br>
and I wish her well and much success.<br>
However, my goal is to match her point contribution<br>
Fortunately, I'm not in a time situation.<br>
But without a doubt, she's tough.<br>
jjj

Have a good run JJJ, and everyone else on Team S! although from looking at the time of JJJ's last two posts it looks like he may have forgotten to actually sleep last night <img alt="uhoh2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/uhoh2.gif"><br><br>
oh well - sleep is for losers!
 
My problem with her is that she said I quit. I said nothing of the kind to her. The comment you quoted earlier was after she said she could not walk a mile a day as the link in question suggested. The only thing the two have in common is they are not very supportive.<br><br>
My only concern right now is that I do have a goal, but since they are not posting the individual results this round, my goal is pointless. This makes this round kind of uninteresting to me. That does not mean that I will not report points, it just means I have no reason to be here daily, and my time is being eaten up by other concerns at the moment anyway. The last thing I need is a team captain telling me and my team that I quit. I guess maybe I should view this as a positive? I see it as a get the hell off of my team type of thing. What am I supposed to read into this less that favorable development? I don't think it means that she sends me hugs and kisses.
 
5K race today + 1 mile jog/walk warmup. =<br><br>
4 pts for the warm up<br>
12 pts for the race<br>
5 pts for the race bonus<br><br>
21 total pts. Off to add them to the standings page and daily thread.
 
Nice start to the day everyone.....<br><br>
The good news is that we are already (unofficially) into Surf City with these first reports of the day.<br><br>
The bad news is that Team J may have just squeezed in last night - They averaged ~500 for the last 2 days which is pretty impressive for weekdays (I guess they don't have jobs <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> ). It was really close so we'll need to wait for the official results of Day 15, which I guess we'll get in a few days once everyone has reported their scores.<br><br>
Not sure who else will make it over the line today, there are a bunch of groups about 600 miles out, so if they have big Saturdays we will have some company on the coast.<br><br>
It's time for a big weekend. Team J's huge Thursday/Friday will have an impact and may result in a slowdown from their regular weekend. I sense an opportunity to enter next week back at the front of the pack where we have been for the last 5 days.....<br><br>
Happy Running - Alan
