Champion  23360      Taser-World |  Subject: RE: Pitter Patter of Fast Feet... aka PFFTWaterDog66 - 2008-02-17 4:05 PM Thanks for the Update Dee Great to be on a team that is not running Dead Last. Only one Non-Starter and one Injured runner is pretty good too. Sorry to hear about your injury D.Z. take are and take it easy. The teams are actually all pretty close right now. There's only about a 5% difference between first and last. And there are still 2 more weeks in February.... Should be interesting! (Of course, I'm also trying to figure out a twist to make it more interesting. LOL) Now if only we could track down your team captain. I think he fell into a black hole or something. (Although.... since he's not here, let's all talk about him.  )  I had oatmeal with blueberries this morning. Does that count as loblolly? Just wondering. LOL |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: Pitter Patter of Fast Feet... aka PFFT KathyG - 2008-02-17 3:06 PM I did my first running race in 13 months today and first anything since my HIM in October. 5K's hurt quite a bit but I had fun and challenged myself. I've never placed so high in running event 24 out of 67 women and 8th in my AG out of 21. Not my fastest time, but given I just started running about 10 weeks ago after being off for 7 with surgery, I'm very pleased. Congratulations! |

I thought miles were to be posted by Sunday, not Saturday. Well, nevertheless, while everyone else appears to still be sleeping (who ever heard of sleeping in on Sunday, hahaha) I updated my miles. Yes, I'm a little bit behind. But I'm hoping that maybe some short little one milers with the dog (yes, she is getting overwieght - 103 at the vet the other day) will catch me up. Saturday is the day. I changed it so I can compile the results on Sunday. Last month, everyone updated on Sunday, but that meant I had to get the update written on Monday. And with my work schedule these days, that just made for wayyyyyy too much stress for me. A 103 lb dog? What kind of dog is she? (Hm, at 103 lbs, I sure hope she's not a pekinese!) |

Where else but on a website like this would we not think twice about his declaration that he had a pukefest, and then immediately went to have dinner. LOL |

Sal - The weather forecast says it's going to be 30 F in MN today! Isn't that like, a heat wave? Will you be running in shorts and a t-shirt today? Or chopping a hole in the ice to enjoy a nice, long OWS? Oh wow --> A HIGH of 7 F tomorrow? Brrrrrrrrrr..... |

I should be able to get online at home on Sat nights, I'll keep it in mind. Funny, I can't access the google spreadsheets from work anymore, they "websensed" it. As for my dog she's an Akita/Lab mix. I got the feeling while running with her this afternoon that I didn't have to worry about anyone messing with me. She's actually quite tall and has an ENORMOUS head. |

Champion 5345 Carlsbad, California | Subject: RE: Pitter Patter of Fast Feet... aka PFFT Today was another gorgeous day down at the beach. Did my long run this afternoon and had a fabulous time; but it did get a little chilly toward the end. (I was in shorts and a singlet) Yes Dee, Oatmeal with Blueberries definitely qualifies as Loblolly in the true spirit of royal sailing tradition. (Loblolly Boy was the Assistant to the Ships Surgeon and fed Loblolly to the Sick Sailors to make them feel better) If someone fed that to me when I was not feeling well, I would surely feel better afterward Now at: 168/250 - 67% Complete Team: 53.81% Seems like we are gaining ground. Nice work everyone Oh, Tomorrow is a no run day for this kid but I will surely be back in the shoes on Tuesday ready to resume with another week of training. |

And all along, I thought it was discussion about cheesecake that brought you out of hiding. At 40 F, I'm looking for a nice warm coat. And at 7 F, well, I think I'd just stay inside. (I admit it - I'm a weather wimp!) |

Did my long run this afternoon and had a fabulous time; but it did get a little chilly toward the end. (I was in shorts and a singlet) Chilly? Hm. I don't know what the temp was there, but I'm thinking that for Sal, that probably would have been an absolute heat wave. (Do you get the feeling that I'm not moving NORTH anytime soon? LOL) |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: Pitter Patter of Fast Feet... aka PFFT February Challenge Update For the challenge updates, I usually tell you what the teams are discussing. (This is also known as "The World According to Dee," and it may, or may not, bear any resemblance to what YOU thought your team was talking about. LOL) But when I was looking at the spreadsheets today, I was really impressed by some of the distances and times that some people have logged so far. So today, I'm going to start by giving you some updates on specific people and their progress. SOME OF THE AMAZING DISTANCES LOGGED TO DATE: Swimming: - Devouahy - 67250 meters Biking: - TheBear - 144 miles - Mesteren - 231.8 km (144 miles) Running: - Waterdog66 - 168 miles - Daremo - 145.8 miles And CONGRATULATIONS to: - Skarl, who raced in a Duathlon and won her AG! - Out4atime, who finished her "first race ever," set a PR doing it, and finished in the top quarter both in overall and age group. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for (or not) --> The Team Updates! Team Swimming Rocks Milaminute continues to wave her glitter pink whip at her team. The overall lead slipped away from the team this week, so Mila has advised her teammates to swim anyway they can - including in their bathtubs! (Watch those flip turn though!) Shoeless set a PR distance record. Tntexpres got a new wetsuit. And Betsy855 played with many moon jellyfish during her OWS. Team We :heart: T.I.T.S. Tupuppy has a new endurance activity - minivan shopping. Many team members, such as amschrod and MissKelly went out this weekend and got some B.A.L.L.S. (Yes, I bet the rest of you are wondering what that means. You'll just have to visit Team T.I.T.S. to find out.) LEMmings - the reRun. Over the cliff again. Many members of this team are dealing with the plague. Daremo and bhoover10001 have started their tapers. Charge4brendan ran the Tokyo Marathon today. (He hasn't checked in yet to give us the results though.) Running with Scissors Well, it's clear which team is winning the post count challenge this month. Already up to page 30, this team does plenty of running AND chatting. Skarl raced in a Duathlon and won her AG! Congratulations! She is also philosophizing about whether it's safer to run where there are mountain lions, or where there are people. (OK, so I simplified it a bit. You'll have to visit the team thread to find out the rest.) Lyssa-gator is planning on eating tacos until she pops. TinkerBeth (LastCall2003) is commuting via plane these days. A whole bunch of team members are celebrating anniversaries. GirlPassingOnLeft has gone to watch the AMGEN Tour of California today. And I'm sure there's more, but these guys just type soooo quickly. Gingerbread Joggers There have been some humorous pictures posted on this team thread. Zipp1 is highly motivated to win the challenge this month - she REALLY doesn't like the Patriots, and doesn't want to wear a Pats avatar next month. Ilucy2 has discovered the BT route tracker. Enders_Shadow has been traveling a lot. And Dcon is happy that he lives in a country that has some great sushi. And karbates was able to register for a tri event before it closed out. Pitter Patter of Fast Feet aka PFFT Kenj ended a post with "Oh, and enjoy your VD." We're hoping he was referring to Valentine's Day! The difference between Naked Running and Nude Running was discussed. AKTri said that it warmed up to 30 F, and declared it "almost naked running weather." Sparco refuses to run in shorts until the weather hits 40 F, and doesn't seem to like running naked. (Or nude, either.) Waterdog66 had a pukefest at the track, followed by a hearty dinner. Geauxtri's dog weighs 103 lbs. And Out4atime, who finished her "first race ever," set a PR doing it, and finished in the top quarter both in overall and age group. Congratulations! From Challenge Central, this has been your Challenge Update. Now get out there and swim/bike/run! - Dee |

I got the feeling while running with her this afternoon that I didn't have to worry about anyone messing with me. She's actually quite tall and has an ENORMOUS head. My dog would be just the opposite. If anyone were to approach me I think she'd hide behind my legs and let me take him down. Such a great guard dog, but what do you expect from a mini poodle :P Oh the joys of moving.. especially into a 3rd floor apartment. Do climbing stairs count towards miles, (haha) because those are the only miles I got in this weekend. But I think a few easy miles might do some good tomorrow to loosen me up. |

I'm at 196 with a long ride planned for tomorrow since the weather may actually hit 50 degrees. We've been hovering around 30 for the last few months. Definitely no naked biking but I will be eating a few hills for lunch. Then back to the task at hand and a run on Tuesday which may be naked Run well PFFT!! |
