The Things That Go Bump In The Night Team Thread (Page 11)

What's a nuck?

First of all, I am proud to be on a team with each one of you.

Second of all, I am proud that I am actually taking being sick seriously, and not training. This, I believe, would make it a very first in my entire life, and different than last week, too. (I still gotta work, though ... so I'll be racking up the miles no matter what).

I used to work with someone who had a comment on her coffee cup about the place being nucking futs and I like using that phrase when I know I'm doing the insane stuff I do

BunnyB - 2007-10-08 6:17 PM Woo Hoo! I went to my Weight Watchers meeting at lunch today and I was down 3.8 pounds this week! I'll be bumping up my mileage a bit later tonight when I head to the gym. GO TEAM!!!

3.8 pounds?!? That's phenomenal! Way to go, you ... you skinny bunny!

And Gail, are you planning to add your tally as well, or are you just going to be our cheerleader? That's cool if you're just here for moral support

 Like you all, I am pushing to new heights in running this month.  But, I have trained with (the most wonderful in the world) coach since I had surgery on both legs in January, and we don't set a whole month of workouts at a time so we can adjust based on how I'm doing.   I always do exactly what he says, no more and no less (and, I am NEVER tired, NEVER injured, and NEVER bored; I think he is a god).  So -- it didn't seem fair to put my team at the mercy of my coach:  If I set a goal of 80 miles/16 hours (which is my estimate of what he plans for the month and about 25% more than I've ever done) and he told me to do less (but do it faster, for example, or on a hillier route), I would do less and you would all suffer!  So, technically I am "just" cheering with no official goal, but I would appreciate any inspiration for my unofficial goal of "be able to do whatever coach says."

That's incredible, and as you know, you have my deepest admiration.

If I did everything Coach Monica told me to do (and perhaps more importantly, NOT do the stuff she tells me NOT to do), she'd probably fall over dead of shock.

Come to think of it, so would I . I need your inspiration!!!

 Well, FWIW, I know that Coach Monica only does about 75%--80% of what Coach Mike tells HER to do ...  (but don't tell her I told you that). 

I'm in shock. Monica actually does THAT MUCH of what Mike says???

Colorado is GORGEOUS!!! Envy, envy!

Come to think of it, so would I . I need your inspiration!!! ...

We love Coach Mike; he is inspiring.  And he's usually right.  All those sexy coaches in the orange and blue, in fact, can get your heart racing...

BunnyB - 2007-10-09 12:34 PM Back in to report that I got in a 2.1 mile walk/run tonight. This was my last time of 2 mins of running. It bumps up to 4 mins with my next walk/run. I'm making progress!!! Yanti - Well, the scale was kind this week because I had an unnatural gain last week. I had been on steroids and antibiotics fighting off the flu and a rather nasty sinus infection. I still need to lose another pound to start making forward progress again. Thanks though, I'll always take someone calling me a skinny bunny.

How long were you on the steroids for? those things are nasty... I was on high doses for much of last year and Im STILL trying to loose the weight, (we wont even go into the other side effects I experiences while on them!) it can take a little while for them to clear your system so dont stress over it and be kind to yourself
