The Mysterious Dark Arts

Hi Team!  I'm Judi.  Live here in the challenge board   Froget how many challenges it is for me now....I missed maybe 2 months of them since the original TdF challenge in 2007.   Not entirely sure of my goal, I think right now I'm saying 70 but it may go to 75 miles.  I have a half marathon November 15 and need to look at the training plan.  Already did 2.53 this morning

I guess since I want everyone to introduce themselves.... Im Cat, Im your host for this challenge....

Im an Kiwi/Aussie and while I havent participated in as many challenges as Judi (running one normally means I need a month off from time to time) I do spend most of my time hanging out here in the challenge forum.

Im looking forward to this team provide each other support AND causing some chaos for the other teams...

Cat

I'm Kendra.  Haven't run in over a year.  Getting back on track with wralking and we sill see how it goes.  Some of you runaholics need to help me to see the thrill of running.

Of course, I've had a bad foot problem all year, which is why no running or even walking, but I've gotten back to swimming and biking over the last couple of months and now its time for the third part of being a TRIathlete.

And yes, I choose a black cat running to go along with the theme this month.  I've got a black cat at home (Shadow) who I think forgot how to run, she is soooooooo fat!

Mysterious dark arts!  The cat is my familiar!

Travis, congrats on the loose uniform. 

PHIL!

We're on a team together again!  It's been a while!

Welcome to the challenge forum Kathrin.  It is an awesome place to meet people and chat.  Sometimes we even chat with ourselves.  LOL

Beth, Cat, Emily, Travis, Judy!

HI!

And Hello to any I haven't met in a challenge before.

Okay, I'll go and be quiet for a while.

You mean like I was last night on WCP&T.  Good times.

esc - 2008-10-01 9:09 AM Hi team!  I'm Emily.  I'm signed up for 45 miles this month.  My challenge team from last month was very "motivating". (I'm not afraid of Mila. I'm not afraid of Mila. I'm not afraid of Mila.)  Apparently I respond very well to intimidation so if appear to be slacking off feel free to threaten me.

With that being said I am going to go talk to Dee and see if I can get a temp permit to use her caddle prod.  Will that keep you motivated???

Hey, Baby Baby!!  Glad we're back together!! (now how do I add glitter to this? )

Hello, Dark Arts Teammates!

My name is Phil (introduced earlier via Beth), and I used to be a big challenge fanatic at the end of last year.

I'm quite glad that we have Beth, Cat, and Kendra (and pushing to get LazyMarathoner with us - she'd be a good fit) - THEY BE DA BOMB!

I have finished IM Moo '07, and have started training for IM Moo '09 starting with some "light" work for the next few weeks - Z2 training is crucial!

I am a recovering Pad-a-holic, but now with this team, may fall off the wagon.  Thanks, ladies.

Let's do well and make our presence known!!  bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Here's a little intimidation I was thinking of providing the other forums.  What ya think?

Hi team!

I'm Beth, aka Tinkerbeth, I'm also addicted to challenges (or is it posting in the challenge forum???? ) 

I used to hate to run, but I have learned to like it more and more over the past year. 

I just recently moved to Pennsylvania from Nebraska and am finally getting settled in.

I've completed 7 tri's over the past 3 years - 5 sprints and 2 oly's

It looks like we have a great team and I'm ready for a fun month!

perfect!  do you think it needs glitter?  LOL!

The suspense of whether or not I'll be added to the team is killing me!

Hi Beth... That's interesting... How do you learn to like running more and more?? If there is something like a 10-step program - I NEED it...!!! Probably step 1 "join a challenge", step 2 "join a challenge", step 3 "join a challenge"..... ???? :-) Kathrin

I think it's more like:

Step 1: run
step 2: run some more
step 3: hey, shouldn't you be out running?

It seems that the more you run the better you get at it - or at the very least, it gets easier.  The easier it feels the more fun it becomes.  When you can stop worrying about whether or not your legs are going to fall off, you can spend more time enjoying the journey.  If all else fails, join a challenge.

I have a feeling you'll have to knock Dee the heck out before you can even get close to that cattle prod.  She's rather attached to that thing.
