Lookin' forward to meetin' you too <b>Missy</b> <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> And I always look forward to another chance to hang out with <b>Beth</b><br><br>
Good luck on that long run <b>Doc</b><br><br>
Good luck <b>Tershall!</b> Do we have anyone else racing this weekend? Sending out good luck vibes just in case.<br><br>
I walked three miles on the top of the parking garage at the hospital during lunch hour (3-4am) last night. Better than sitting on my butt watching another HG TV show or infomercials! That's just bonus for this day. Will get out and get my real workout in a bit later.<br><br>
Good weekend workouts to all!

Hi Guys!<br>
I think I'm back on track! I ran this morning with no knee pain at all.. so cross your fingers that my issues are over. I'm heading over to post my stuff on the scoring site. Tomorrow I have an 18 miler scheduled so I'll be racking up so good points for us and I'm going to get out my husbands bike this afternoon and see how far I can go on it <img alt="uhoh2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/uhoh2.gif"> Could be scary, he's quite a bit taller than me!<br><br>
Welcome Opie!<br><br>
And Beth, I spent all day yesterday cleaning as well.. I definitely think we deserve points for it! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

7 mile run today. i had a 5k race i was going to do but i worked late last night (until 8am this morning, actually) so i decided to skip it. happy runs to all.. hope everyone is capitalizing on the theme!!!!

 

[Heather5395]

Hey peeps! Welcome opie. Did 45 min kickboxing DVD and 30 min abs(running rest day) I'll run tomorrow, and definitely hit the bike for the bonus pts.

It's called a Vigorfit. It blows away Chuck and Christy's Total Home Gym. Much better built and much less expensive thanks to no "compensated celebrity endorsers."<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.fbgyms.com/photos/man-pic1.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br><a href="http://www.vigorfit.com/" target="_blank">http://www.vigorfit.com/</a>

Oh my gosh! There were so many people at the 5K yesterday! I looked at the results this morning and there were at least 2,151 participants. Those are the number of people with posted results, but I don't think that includes people who might not have picked up their chip timers.<br><br>
I'm still kind of new to the Dallas area and because of where the race is I thought it was going to be a really flat course. I was wrong. There was only one hill, but it was long and fairly steep. I saw it stop a lot of people. Apparently the hill was noteworthy enough that the guy doing the announcing was talking about it over the loudspeaker during the race. I had a friend waiting for me at the finish and when I mentioned that hill, he told me that the announcer was talking about it.<br><br>
Aid Station #1 offered beer. I didn't partake until later. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
Overall, it was a reallyfun race. I'm glad I did it.

 

[ecodork]

Hey all. Thought I would check in. Since last Sunday, I've managed to get in a few miles of running or walking each day. Even though I'm not going a far distance, I'm finally beginning to feel comfortable with this whole running thing again. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> I even found a local 5K in two weeks that I'm considering signing up for!<br><br>
I think today might be a rest day with some yoga and stretching. Unfortunately I don't have a bike.<br><br>
Have a great day!

 

[Alemma]

tershall - Congrats on your race! I'm glad it was fun, even with the hill. Good decision about the beer. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
I ran the Shamrock M today. And I PR'd by almost 6 minutes...4:13:01. I'll take it! My body hurts. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

 

[markalan]

i had a really windy, cold 16 miler today but managed to run even splits. this cali girl is REALLY not liking what the midwesterners call "spring". *snort*

 

[Doctor Wu]

Missy: actually 23 miles on the treadmill.<br><br>
Hey you guys, did you see we just went from last place to sixth place in about four days? After a slow start, I did 43.5 miles of running in the last four days and Alemma did a marathon today. I'm taking Monday and Wednesday off this week due to travel but should still have 45 - 49 running miles for the upcoming week. Then the following week I'm running a marathon in New Mexico and should still get in about 48 miles for that week.<br><br>
Let's keep it up everybody!

 

[Opie]

Good job on the marathon, Alemma!<br><br>
I spent the day downhill skiing, so I have no idea whether that's worth any points. In a couple of days, I'll have the Garmin on for XC skiing, so I'm sure that'll count.

 

[ecodork]

I got my yoga in tonight, and tomorrow I will get back out there for another run.<br><br>
I was playing around with the point-entry database, and somehow found that it had me listed as a Mega Badass, which really couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm a Badass-in-training. Is this something we should be concerned about or just a misprint?

 

[missy1102]

sorry! twenty three is what i meant to say <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif">

 

[missy1102]

i just PMd billy. not sure if anything can be done about it at this point.. in my mind you're still a mega badass regardless <img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif">

 

[kimbro]

Missy1102- just checked- all points are in now.<br>
Team- WAY TO GO!!! from last place to 6th?<br>
First place has 4068 points, we have 3762 points.<br>
We CAN do this! We CAN move up- remember, together, we can win. I believe we are all winners this weekend! Just look at what WU did! And our team mates that raced. If you got off the couch and even scored a point- you did something positive to help this team move foward.<br>
Again- This team ROCKS!!<a href="http://www.ganja.co.uk" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/sign/sign0200.gif" style="border:0px solid;"></a><a href="http://www.ganja.co.uk" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/party/party0030.gif" style="border:0px solid;"></a><a href="http://www.ganja.co.uk" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/sign/sign0021.gif" style="border:0px solid;"></a>

 

[kimbro]

Opie- skiing counts as an alt. workout! Get thee to the daily thread and log it as 12 points Alt. workout. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br>
Max for Alt workout is 12 points. Cross country might count as general cardio, if it keeps your heart rate up.<br><br>
***missy1102- I didn't add this one on the scoreboard.

 

[tershall]

Alemma, congrats on the PR! Way to go! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[hally]

Woohooo we are moving on up! Great job on the PR Alemma! And 23 miles on the TM, that should count for some mental points too Wu!<br><br>
I just need a decent day so I can get my bike off the ceiling and on the road!<br>
But it has to be weekend is the only catch.
