Take care of your knee! Hang around as team cheerleader.

See you next month.

pdbman - 2010-02-08 1:01 PMCongrats on the half mary Richard. Its quite an accomplishment to do a race in the cold. I'm too much of a wimp to run when it gets too cold out, although I would like to do a race like this at some point. I like challenges and doing a winter race would make it just that much more of a challenge. I have some work to do before I would be ready for something like this. Keep up the good work.

crimefighter2 - 2010-02-08 1:48 PMGogogo - that is a GREAT time and nice medal,

akrenik - 2010-02-06 9:12 PM I did it!  Put a ziplock bag around my watch and my husband's poncho on and headed out.  Pretty darn fun!  By the time I had gone a mile the rain stopped and a HUGE rainbow decorated the sky.  So great! 

LycraCladChamp - 2010-02-06 6:24 PM Requesting to be removed from the challenge this month.  I have not been able to walk this past week.  I still have another week till my dr appt on friday the 13th.  so i will be effictvaly out for 2 of the 4 weeks this month and that is not fair for the team.  thanks guys.

KOM - 2010-02-06 4:02 PM So today was a major HTFU workout for me.  I got in just over 12 miles in the 20 degree windy cold.  HAving some issues with spasm in my right glut.  It was wicked tight on Thursday after spin class.  I think we did a lot of glut stuff with the trainer on Tue and Thurs this week too.  It bothered me the entire run today.  Hoping to get it foam rolled or otherwise fixed this week.  I hate having issues.  I just like to go and not worry about things.....

ebshot - 2010-02-08 7:23 AM Morning team!  What's everyone up to on this sunny Monday?  I am taking Liam to the doctor and then, assuming he is good to go, dropping him off at school and running 15k.  If he has to stay home (he has a nasty cough and had a migraine on Sat), I'll hit the drainer and run the 15k tomorrow.  And of course laundry and cleaning.  Anyone seen the laundry fairy lately? 

sparco - 2010-02-08 9:59 AM Happy post-Superbowl Monday! 

My knee's still giving me problems.  No workouts on Saturday and Sunday.

I may jump on the trainer to do some low RPMs at low resistance to see how things feel today.  If it's still not feeling right, I'll send Dee a message and drop out.  If it does feel o.k., I'll probably adjust my goals anyways, just so I don't jeopardize putting myself out for the whole race season.

I'll let you all know...

More snow last night.  More snow expected until tomorrow night.  Two hour commute.  I should have just called the boss and worked from home...

ebshot - 2010-02-08 1:05 PM Bah!  Liam has an ear infection and he's wheezing.  No school for him today.  So, no 15k for me.  I am trying to convince myself to get on the trainer for an hour.  Yet here I sit.  Feeling like a nap instead. 

MDHillSlug - 2010-02-08 12:33 PM Hi,

Here are the standings after week one:

Hearts: 25.4%
Kisses: 22.5%

There's still lots of month left so there's still lots of time for changes in the standings.

I hope you are Loving this challenge.

Happy training,

Sadly, I've already dropped out of the challenge.  I'm pretty sure I have quadricep tendonitis (left leg).  Going to see friend/neighbor/physician tonight (he specialized in Sports Medicine) to confirm.  I'm thinking I'll be out about 4-6 weeks.

I hear you on the snow!  I am beginning to understand why Spring Break is such a big deal in the Midwest.  It's time to go somewhere warm!  

D001 - 2010-02-08 7:07 PM 4-6 weeks? That's a long time. By then, who knows -- maybe some of the snow will have melted up there. Actually, can you still swim? (Note: I'm assuming you have access to an indoor pool. I wasn't suggesting that you pull out the chainsaw to cut through 37 inches of ice on the local pond.) Or, if you can't swim because of the kick, maybe you could just do pull drills? P.S. Spring Break is a big deal everywhere. Just ask the kids around here....
