<p>Hey hey team! Just checking in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What's everyone training for? I had a bit of a setback yesterday when I went to register for the HM I've been half planning to do... only to learn that it's sold out. My backup race is now out of the picture due to a family obligation that I also learned about yesterday. (Yesterday was not a good day for motivation, was it?) So now I'm a Rebel Without A Race. Humph.</p>

<p>I'm not training for anything at the moment. There's a HM on Memorial Day weekend I would like to register for, not sure I can get up to speed by then. I'm hoping that the VRAA will motivate and inspire me to get my running mojo going. I've been working out, just not running. Something about the Minnesota winter months that just deplete me. Today I have big plans: I park and walk to and from work a mile each way, I'm hitting the gym after work for some treadmill and stairstepper time and then some relaxing Lunar Yoga before bed. I figure if I put it out here then I'm committed to doing it. Rawr! icandoit icandoit icandoit icandoit icandoit</p>

<p>Hi team. I took a break from being captain last round, so I'll have to get back in the swing of things. I suppose I'll manage to pull it together!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Team 2</p>
<p>Amichel</p>
<p>Theia</p>
<p>Big G</p>
<p>Orange Mat</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I normally ask people to introduce themselves, but I think you've all been on a team with me at one point or another. If introductions are needed, please say so!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm training for the Half at the Flying Pig in Cincinnati on May 1st. Today is technically a rest day, but I will get some walking points and may hit the gym for a class later if I can juggle a few other commitments.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Carry on!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hello team! I'm here and this round is perfect timing for me. I have a half marathon on Sunday (my first!) and a 5k the following weekend. And I'm the type that doesn't like to race, ha.... I'm also on a team for the Ragnar Relay New York that's May 13-14, so as long as I stay uninjured (knock wood!), I should be pretty good for bringing in the running points.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And speaking of points, I went to a 90 minute yoga class this morning (taper, ya know) and the scoring site still says there's a 12 point cap on alt workouts. Is there a work-around in progress for that, or what?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think I know most of you, by name only though. Amichel, I don't know much about you, other than to thank you for volunteering to be our captain.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ETA: Never mind, the caption might say 12 point max, but it took my 18 points no problem.</p>

<p>Ok, so we will do introductions, we'll just give it a different spin:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) What does your user name on kickrunners represent? How did you choose it?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2) Where do you regularly post?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3) What's your favorite part of VRAA?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4) Is there something new you plan to try this round?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5) Add a new question that you want the team to answer</p>

<p>OK, so we <em>are</em> all girls here, wasn't sure. Cool!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) What does your user name on kickrunners represent? How did you choose it?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff8c00;">My first yoga mat was orange, so that was the handle I used on the yoga forums I used to frequent. I didn't even realize at the time that I picked the name that it shortens to "OM". Kinda auspicious, no? Well, I don't post on yoga forums anymore, and I hardly even practice yoga (though I'm a yoga teacher), but I kinda liked the joke of it, so I kept the name. My current yoga mat (I've gotten several new ones since) is orange once again.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>2) Where do you regularly post?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff8c00;">Masters Club. I'm really OLD.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>3) What's your favorite part of VRAA?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff8c00;">I normally don't allow myself the luxury of counting walking as part of my exercise. So VRAA gives me the "permission" to slack off without feeling guilty.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>4) Is there something new you plan to try this round?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff8c00;">As I mentioned earlier, I'm rather race-phobic, but I'm signed up with 6 other women to run the More Magazine HM this Sunday, an all-women's race in Central Park. So that's about as new as it gets!</span></p>

<p>Having my DH in the avatar picture confuses people. Hopefully I can get a new running picture I like to replace it someday!</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff8c00;">Theia is the Greek word for goddess.

It didn't start off nice. It was more like omiGOD</span> you are such a GOON! No YOU are. NO YOU ARE!! Screeeeech! Somehow it evolved into a pet name and we call each other Goon all the time now, my Mom refers to us as Goon, our kids call us Auntie Goon. Anyway, I'm 5 minutes older than she is so I am The Big Gahoona. </span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ff8c00;">Well, considering I've only done two 5k's, and the first one was a pretty horrible experience, I'll let y'all know after tomorrow.</span><br>

<p>What new thing should Theia try this round of VRAA?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff8c00;">How do I find out what she hasn't done yet?? I'm training for a relay in May, so I had to run 3x in one day last weekend, how's about that?</span></p>

<p>I've done a Ragnar Relay before - sooper fun!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't get my Yoga on last night - C came over and took us out for ice cream. Did an hour Pilates class and a 45 minute Cable Strength training class this morning. LOVE the cable class. I usually feel pukey and require an assist in getting my sports bra off afterward - sure signs of a gooooood workout!</p>

<p>4. I LOVE the stepmill. Is that the stair machine you did? The one that looks like a huge staircase? Love, love, lovesomuch.</p>

<p>6. I used to love 10Ks the most, but now I'd have to say sprint triathlons. So much fun.</p>

<p>The first part of your answer sounds dirty (woo hoo!). Believe it or not, I have worked out 3x in one day, but I can't remember if all three were runs. I know at least two of them were. Hmmm. OK, I'll give this a shot too! I can't promise they'll all be long runs.

<p>My triple, or trifecta, was supposed to be 5, 5 and 3 miles. I ended up doing 5.3, 6 and 3.25. I have another one on the schedule for this Sunday of 6, 4 and 4. To best simulate the relay conditions, I do these trifectas with at least 4 hours in between. But no, I don't go sit in a van for the off-hours between runs. <span><img alt="icon_tongue.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_tongue.gif"></span></p>
<br><p>Oh, should we have a team name?</p>
