Everyone is checked in, accounted for and logging their points. Ice Cream-I hope you feel better and Happy Birthday!! I also did not make my LR today. I was hoping for 18 but bagged at 15.5. I'm blaming lack of sleep and sick kiddies-I hope that's all it is. I hate bad runs<img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"><br>
Anyhow-it looks like Team Intimidation is off to a great start<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I may have to bow out of this one. I've already checked with Billy for a replacement. That tweaked knee I mentioned in the first thread broke down today during a 16-mile treadmill run. I was forced inside due to the 15 inches of snow. I had to restart the treadmill after 13 miles and my knee was just gone. I tried limping to keep up but couldn't. I restarted the treadmill a couple more times hoping something would loosen up or whatever, but it was the same outcome. I'm not sure what's wrong, but it's not good.<br><br>
Anyway, the last thing I want to do is screw you guys. So even if I can't be replaced, I'll bust my ass to do whatever I can to make up points. I'm pissed because I'm injured, but I feel just as bad for letting you guys down. This was the worst-case scenario I feared the most.

Voodoojunkie, sorry to hear about the knee. I hope it heals up quickly.<br><br>
I forgot about the time change happening this week, and since I run in the early morning (almost exclusively) I hope I'm still able to get in my "scheduled" distances. I guess I'll have to go to bed early tonight to start getting readjusted.

 

[kruss]

Voodoo-I'm so sorry<img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> Being injured sucks. Hopefully it's not too bad. I don't know your specific situation but if you can get to an ortho quickly, I would suggest it. It might not be as bad as you think but either way you'll know what going on.<br>
Thanks for trying to get a replacement-but don't worry about us. This is just a game. Take care of yourself

 

[carbonfiberRibs]

Damn, VooDoo. That's terrible. I know you're feeling bad about the points and all, but I'm more concerned about you healing your injury. I know you won't do anything that will keep you out long term.<br>
Get that knee seen ASAP.

 

[Ice Cream]

Sorry to hear that, Voodoo.<br>
I think I did two good contributions in the past three days. Basically, I planned a long run for Friday ut had to cut it short due to nausea. I attempted again today and managed to get in the 20 miles I needed to do. Rest day tomorrow. Just some weights and a short walk.

 

[evanflein]

{{{Voodoo's knee}}} Hope it's not too serious... but take care of it!<br><br>
Got my 16 in today, plus a mile of walking and I counted 30 minutes of alternative, but I'm sure it was more than that. Already entered it all on the Web site...<br><br>
Kruss... question: when entering on the Web site, I add my running and walking together because there's no separate category for walking. That ok?<br>
Also, on the alternate, there's no way to enter the bonus points, so I added them together (6 + 5 = 11 claimed). Is that the right way to do it? Or is the system automatically giving the bonuses? If so... I over stated points. thanks.

 

[kruss]

Walking/running can be added together. I'm not sure what you mean by "bonus" pts-for what? The bonus race pts are automatically calculated seperately when you put in that you raced (once or twice a day? per the website-who races 2xs a day?) Anyhow when you answer that question "yes"- the race pts are automatically calculated.

 

[evanflein]

No, the bonus points for the featured activity... last weekend was "alternate workout" weekend. If you earn at least 1 point in that activity, you can claim the 5 bonus points. But it wasn't clear how you add them, so I just added them to my point total for Alternative. (Next weekend I believe it's biking--real or stationary)

<span style="font-family:Georgia;">Hello.... I'm joining Team Intimidation today and it's good to be here. I probably won't come close to Voodoo's points, but I'll do my best.</span><br><br><span style="font-family:Georgia;">Voodoo, wishing you a speedy recovery!!!!</span><br>

 

[Voodoojunkie]

Thanks! And thanks for being available. I'm sure you'll do just fine! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
And sorry again, guys and gals. I hate to quit. But I would really drag us down. I just came from the doc's and will see an orthopedist next week and probably have an MRI. There's probably no ligament damage but it could be the miniscus, which I think I feared more.<br><br>
While I'm bummed to have to bow out, I'm glad you guys got a more than able replacement. I'll be rootin' for you all!!

 

[kruss]

Sorry-Totally spaced on that one<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> It does appear that you have to manually enter them. I just viewed your entries from the weekend and you did not double count the bonus points-so apparently they are not automatically calculated.<br>
Kitkat-Welcome to the team. I saw that Billy is letting you retro your points to Friday which is great. LMK if you need help with anything.<br>
Voodoo-You will be missed. I hope you have a speedy recovery and a good appt with the ortho. I've have miniscus (still haven't learned to spell that) surgery and while it isn't fun it is an injury that has 100% recovery-not something that will plague you for the rest of your life. Best of luck<br>
BTW-I checked the standings and we are off to an awesome start!!! Go Team Intimidation<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[Voodoojunkie]

Thanks, Kruss. That's good to hear if it's worst-case scenario.

 

[RunAsics]

Voodoo... bummer, we need that voodoo that you do... heal up and come back strong! Note that one of the guys in a local tri training group recently had his knee scoped due to a miniscus tear. He was out for 2 weeks and is in rehab twice a week but seems pretty confident about it all. I never noticed a limp/gimp so was surprised by the news.<br><br>
KitKat... welcome to the partee. Any points you post are worthy.

 

[Cashmason]

Voodoo, sorry to hear about your knee. Hope you heal as quickly as possible.<br><br>
5 hours skiing for me today. What ever points that gets us plus half hour of stretching afterwards. I am on a hotel computer, so if the team leader would post my points I would apprecitate it. Thanks.<br><br>
Will post when I can.

 

[wanderingoutlaw]

Welcome, KitKat Runner

 

[kruss]

Done<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
I also got to add in our 100 bonus pts for our Team name today-Woo Hoo! The bonus pts are scored under my name in the skate catagory.

 

[carbonfiberRibs]

I'll be either skiing or snowboarding on Saturday, kruss. How do you want me to log that? or should I just report in time and you take care of it?<br>
Does it go down at alternate cardio?<br><br>
Good going guys. We're holding our own on in the standings. I won't come close to the mileage as some of you, but I hope to outdo the "expected" numbers for the average badass.<br><br>

I went to Billy on this one b/c I wasn't sure. I guess CM had already talked to him about it. It was counted as other cardio (1 pt for 3 min.) Billy is the commish so what Billy says goes<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[Cashmason]

4 1/2 hours skiing today for me.<br><br>
Sorry to be a pain but would you log it for me again. I still don't have access to a computer that will load the vraa log. Should have it next week.<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
