Pecan Team - Just Wanna Run - November (Page 12)

CONGRATS on your PR!!! Great job!

The organizers send out an e-mail today that they raised 20K with the turkey trot!!!

And I got only out in this weather, because I already registered and paid! And honestly, after half of the race it didn't feel that cold anymore.... I had way too many layers on!

Okay PECANS, this week is going to count!! WE CAN DO IT!

I am still short a couple of miles, but I am planning on 4 miles tomorrow and then 5 to 6 miles on Thursday and I that gets me to 100%!

GO PECANS GO!!!

Nice to have you back in the thread and running!

Hey PECANS!

Just coming back from a little of 4 miles of running. Nice and easy and the weather is great here, cool but sunny.

I like those Pecan Team pics a lot!!!

Have a great day everybody.

Slugger awesome job on the logos!!!!

Planning on a 4mi run today on the TM.  Will let y'all know how it goes.  Have a great day pecans, and RUN, we can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I printed the logo out and plan on wearing it thanksgiving morning wheni meet my new running friends.  FUN.. Awesome logo.

RUN ON PECANs.. just finished a little 3 mile TM run at lunch.

Slugger  I  (heart) the  TT Logos .

I will try and print one out to wear for  my turkey trot .  Our TT  is a fun run with no numbers or timing or  anything like that .   Just a fun run .  My conversation starter is usually how little clothes i wear .     

Everyone else here is wearing  tights , hats , gloves , sweatshirt  , etc.  You know :  it gets "cold"  in  Southern California  .  

Sometimes its good to be already committed as it gets you out the door . Then once you get going

you actually enjoy it.  

Plus like most race fundraisers  its for a great cause .

My upcoming " Conquer the Beast " race is raising ca$h for the local food pantry .

If i had any sense  i would switch to do the Santa Monica 10 k  instead .  Its Longer race but  will be so much less painful !!!

HI PECANS,

Just coming back from a nice bike ride and I am still trying to warm up.... My toes were all blue and frozen..... Any advice on how that can be avoided??

No running today, but tomorrow the virtual TT with you guys... I am looking forward to it!!

I did my grocery shopping yesterday, but I have to get new tires today, do laundry, general cleaning and so on.... YEAH!!!!

Did my XC hill workout without getting rained on today .    

then hit    Trader Joe's  (grocery store) at 9 AM   for milk and  that was almost another workout .   It was packed ! at 9AM !

My advice for the cold toes but wear two pairs of socks .  I wear  ski gloves and a wind beaker on the bike when its below 50F .   Hockey gloves are warmer  but not too handy with the brake/shifters .  

Thanks, will try if I can fit another pair of socks in my cycling shoes.... They are pretty snug.

Just curious , what temp was it  when you did the bike ride ?  

Around 40F when I took of here.... My fingers were frozen the first 5 miles too, but that got better later.....

Brrrr Yes thats cold for a bike ride and  its not very rewarding at all  to pick up the pace as it  makes you even colder .  I have a turtle neck i use when i ski that comes in handy with the ski gloves .

Happy Thanksgiving Guys.  I am off to a 4 mile Turkey Trot.  Lets see if I can win my age group, which I doubt since I haven't been 100% for the last month of running or so.

Side note, I was asked by the Commanding Officer of the building I work in to run with him in a team for the Trans Rockies Run 2009.  6 days or about 110 miles.  I am very excited about it.  I think getting asked to run this race is exactly what I needed to get excited about running again.  Guess I have 9 months to train for the longest race I have ever participated in.

Wow... That is exciting and a lot of running.... But you can do it.... Already picked out a training plan???

HAPPY THANKSGIVING PECANS!!!

Just coming back from a little 3.4 mile around the block virtual turkey trot for the team PECANS.

Photos from it are in my album, I won't even try to post them in the thread because that never works for whatever reason. I could even recruit BF as an extra nut!

With this, I am at 100% of my November running goal!

And now I am ready for some serious Thanksgiving dinner!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.....

Turkey run is  in the book , we had a good turnout  , I brought one of my dogs ,  about 10 dogs 40 kids  60 adults of varying age and fitness showed , the XC course was soft with rain last night and  reported in at  6.4 miles per Garmin ,   Brings me to within 5 miles of my goal .

   Planning a real  bike ride on the road tomorrow  .   I have been on the gym trainer all this month and always  post run  with tired legs.
