The Monster Mash Team Intro

Hi Team,

Hi Monsters,

I'm 26.  I don't have any children, but am planning on getting some kittens here before too long.  I'm not married, but am dating a guy who runs, bikes, and swims...so I usually have company whenever I want it during workouts.  I got involved in this triathlon thing a little more than a year ago, and am pretty horrible runner.  So I thought that I would train for a marathon to make me focus on my running during the off season....my target is the Honolulu marathon in December.  This challenge appeared at the perfect time.  My goal for the month is 115 miles.  It will be the most that I've ever run in a month, but is a few miles shy of my training plan.  So, barring any injuries, I should be meeting that goal.


Did anyone else get the monster mash stuck in their head when they heard our team name?  I did, and have a feeling I'll get the chorus stuck in my head once or twice in the next month...

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash 

Hey everyone!

Let's see....I'm 20 and a college student, which means I have pretty much all the time I want to train, it's just a matter of getting my butt out the door.  I started tri training about a year and a half ago as a means of getting back in shape, and I've since completed two sprints.  Races aren't a huge focus for me because a) they're expensive and b) i'm slow =) but I do have my sights on an olympic distance next summer and maybe even a half marathon in the spring.

Running has always been my limiter, which I'm sure is directly related to my lack of consistency in run training.  My pledge:  40 miles in the month of October.  Hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere, right?

Now let's start mashing those monsters!.....uh, you know what I mean.

I do what I can . Davealt, thanks for volunteering to be captain. Sounds like a plan to me. In case anyone wants one of those things to keep track and inspire teammates to post in their blog: ...i'm having problem posting it, i'll try again later this afternoon...

Hi Team,

Hey everyone!  I'm Beth and got dragged into this sport by my hubby, McFuzz. I did my first sprint this summer and am setting my sights on an Olympic next year.  I find that I do better on goals if I have someone to hold me acountable. 

I am a full-time college student majoring in Secondary Education/English with graduation in December, 2008.  I have four children that keep me very busy (1 in college and the other 3 are in high school). 

My goal is 30 miles for month.  I'm hoping that with the training plan that I'm on it will be more than that.  I just imported a plan for doing an Olympic and it is run based.  I was thinking that I would do a 16 week plan that is run based and then another plan that is swim based and, finally, a bike based one.  I'm hoping that will get me through the winter and then I can do one that is balanced.

Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late reporting in, my schedule is a little erratic.

I'm in the Army and some days I have tons of time to train and some days I don't. I'm in nursing school so that comes first. We run 2-5 miles 3x/week. I'm just starting to get into running shape, although all year I've been keeping in shape doing what I can: rucking, weights, easy running, some riding and swimming.

Goal: 90 miles! Eeeek! Thats about as much as I've run all year so this should get interesting. There will be plenty of walking in there.

I've got 2 marathons planned and I'm using them as training runs but thats a guaranteed 52.4 miles! Just 40 more on my own...

In case anyone finds these things helpful...

The link above is very helpful.  I've got something similar to it in my blog. 

Sczerny, (and team), I'm supposed to have weekly mileage to Kaphin on Tuesday, so if you guys could PM me your miles on Monday, that would be very helpful.  I'll also be browsing logs to update the spreadsheet also, so I'll have an idea.  Good luck everyone!
