ZzzzzzZombies Team Thread

Cool, I'm first!

The goal for me this month is for 100 miles!!!  Good luck to all and let's push each other for a great month!!

Good morning Zombies!

I'm Nicole and I'm in for 40 miles this month. I've never missed a challenge goal and I don't intend to start now.

My first run will be tomorrow AM before dawn, in the dark, as is best for zombies.

Looking forward to a great month and a great team.

Hi Everyone - My goal this month is 40 miles - for now anyway. 

Little bit about me - I had back surgery almost 3 years ago (fusion of L4-L5).  Used to be a runner only.  Year ago in March as I was healing I needed to find a new endurance sport so I bought a bike.  Pretty much biked only last year and did the MS150 and a century.  In Jan. 2008 I started training for tris and I did about 7 or 8 this season including two Oly's.  Which is as far as I will go cause I don't want to chance doing anything to my back. 

Let's run!

Hi Everyone -

I'm Stacie and I am in for 50 miles this month. I was in the run challenge last month with 70 and made it but think it was too much too quick (since the last challenge I ran a lot was 60 back in Feb. March). I have the month planned out to make my mileage with room to spare starting with a 2 mile run today.

I am trying to up my mileage slowly and am working with a neighbor who is just starting to get into running. The goal this month is to run for this challenge and get the strength training back in. In the past two years I have put on 12 lbs and just left it sit. I am starting today to get those 10 lbs back off and feel better about myself.

Looking forward to a great month.

Hey everyone - I had nothing better to do while sitting on a dead end conference call so I made my new "team roster" for this month. I have copied it before. If you want to use it great - if not great.

Stacie

Awesome!  Thx for doing this!  My page is now Zombiefied!

Hello Zzzzzz......

ONE more thing..... Ive had some queries about the team spreadsheets... these are coming - Im working some LONG days at the moment so I might not get a chance to get them up until the weekend. 

Hello all,

My name is Melissa, i'm new to tri's but am hopeing to do my first next spring.  My goal this month is to walk/jog 35 mile.

A little back ground info, I decided at the beg. of 08' that I needed to lose weight and get back in shape.  I got a treadmill and started jogging.  Went from doing nothing to going about 8 mi/day 5-6 days a week.  Got horrible blisters on my feet and went to a running store where they fit me with a pair of shoes.  Those worked a little better but about 2-3 months out my knees said enough is enough and had to stop running altogether.  So backed all the way off for about 2-3 months for my knees to get better.  I've always wanted to do a tri, so started playing on the web and found this site.  I have learned so much.  I printed off the couch to 5k on my way to a tri and am almost 3 months through it.  Taking it slow and stready this time and stiking to the 10% rule.

I guess that was more than a little info, sorry.  SO this month is 35 mile.

Can't wait to meet you all and kick the other teams you know what.

Hey stacie awesome "team roster"  how can I add my name and then put it on my page?

Welcome Melissa!

Have you seen a doctor about your knees? They are not something you want to mess up.

Hi Nicole,

Yeah I talked to my GP, but it was kind of worthless I think.  I've had problems with joint issues before and in high school ended up going to a rhumatologist (sp?).  She diagnosed me with fibromyalsia (not sure that was right but went with it) and I mentioned this to my GP and that pretty much ended the discussion about causes for him.  He said people with fibro have to go even slower when working out and uping intensity etc.  Basically he said I might never be able to run and if I do want to train go REALLY slow and build up to it.  So that is what I am trying.  Hopefully all goes well.

I did my pre-dawn 4 miler. I've got 5 (2 + 3.1 duathlon training) planned for Saturday or Sunday.

Swam this morning and have 4 miles on tap for tonite.

I flopped a bit last night on my 8 miler, so I'm probably gonna put off my 4 miler until tomorrow.

Hi all Brian here, I plan on 30 miles this month, with a bit of a slow start. My ten year wedding anniversary is this weekend and we are going on a trip to celebrate. The area (Glenn Arbor, MI) is so good for cycling that I am going to take full advantage and do 2 maybe 3 long rides, so the running this weekend will suffer. I will begin my running Monday.

P.s awsome job on the members list.

Good morning all!!!

I did 4 miles this morning. Only 96 more to go!
