Chanticleers Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) (Page 11)

Please remember to update your spreadsheet totals for the week by the end of today!

Artemis - 2008-09-20 12:18 PM I did 18.09 miles today.  Puts me a lot closer to my goal. 

Way to contribute!  You are the woman of the day!!!

6.28 miles in today.   Ran my normal morning route of 4.28 and then we did a 2 mile family run/walk for the Step-Out for Diabetes foundation.   My son's first event.   Was supposed to be a 1 mile event that we were doing, but we missed the first turn and ended up on the longer course.   Wasn't a problem although the trail we were on was definately not stroller friendly.   Great day either way and had never been to the state park where the event was held.   This was at the Spring Mountain Ranch in Las Vegas which I found out was one of Howard Hughes old residences.   After the run we got to tour his house which was an neat look back at the history.   Going to go back there soon and spend some more time sightseeing.

Nice job keeping up!!

That sounds like fun.  Did your son enjoy it? 

Quick note to everyone:

Check your mileage in the log & make sure it's right.  I just checked mine & I think someone might have logged their mileage for 9/13 on my line.  I only had 4 miles that day & 5 miles was logged - earlier it said 4 miles.  

Just FYI.

As of this moment:  I need 7.72 miles to achieve my goal.  

Even with the bum foot/ankle I'm sure I can make that in the next 10 days!  Which will still make September my biggest running month ever.  Good thing I didn't run a lot to begin with!!! 

Go team!

Just checked the spreadsheet and sent it off to Shawn.  As of yesterday, we were 67% of the way through the month and 72.71% of the way to our goals!!  Everyone is doing great and is right on track for meeting their goals.  That's really impressive!  Especially considering the people who are doing what they can with their injuries.

Great job everyone!!!

Well it seems I am lucky I have so much of my goal complete.

The last time I ran, Thursday, I stepped off the road for a split second and my foot rolled a bit. At the time it didnt hurt much, but since friday the outside of my ankle has been pretty tender. I am going to take most of this week off and see how it feels around Thursday again. Untill then happy running all.

New Team Rule:

No More Injuries!

Yikes!!!

Has anyone looked up whether the Chanticleers have a bad luck thing going on???

Nice job!!

And I agree, no more injuries! 

For me - my injury is my own fault:  Bad shoes & inexperience.  The running shoe guy took my shoe & about tied it into a pretzel.  Poor mid-foot support.  I guess it didn't really matter until I increased my mileage.  Then...whamo!

I always learn the hard way.

Now I've got good shoes, approved by the physical therapist & running shoe guy.

Hello, first losers!

How are things in here?

Just kidding - you guys are doing great!  Keep up the good work!

 Go NADS!

Yep.  We have until September 30.  I will need all of those days. 

3.46 miles today at lunch on the treadmill.   That puts me about 3 miles over my monthly target.   Will most likely get another 3 or 4 in Thursday, then a 10k for the race Sunday.    So, ideally I'll end up with around 53 miles for the month which would be 13 over the goal.

So, I took the last few days off to rest the foot/ankle & I think it's really paid off.  After 3x12-hour shifts on my feet, it doesn't hurt, only aches a little. 

Tomorrow, after physical therapy I'm going to try an interval 2-mile run/walk.  I don't know how much of it will be running, but am pretty sure I can make the 2 miles.  

I've only got about 7 to goal, & 7 days...here we go!  Got a 5k scheduled for this weekend.  I'll probably still do it, but definitely in interval format.  Can't afford to risk my very 1st tri on October 5th just for a 5k.

Sounds like everyone is on track.
