CASUAL run challenge--july (Page 13)

Hi guys! Sorry I've been MIA it was a busy weekend!  I hope you all had a nice 4th of July. I imagine its similar to our Australia Day on the 26th of January, when everyone has the day off and celebrates with friends & family - lots of fun!

I had a good weekend of running - yesterday I did some hill work and today I did a LSR of 17.7kms, the longest I have ever run. Another 4k and it would have been a half marathon! Tomorrow I am going to REST. I'm also going to adjust my goal distance for the month up because I've already run about 50k in the past week!

Tracy - great run today! And I love the river photos.

Kenny - your kids & wife are gorgeous!

Lynne - I think that someone that can't say those things to your face, and instead leaves them on voicemail is a coward and definitely not someone worth keeping as a friend! I hope you feel better soon

Have a great week everyone! Less than a week for me before I leave on my big trip

Good morning all!  I decided to sleep in and miss the lap swim. No worries.I have a few options of where to swim.  Still going to run, run, run. I really feel like doing that. Running all my woes away.

Kenny I love the pics, your weans are gorgeous. As are yours Tracy   I think I might have finally resolved my camera battery problems so today I'll be snap happy.

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday  

No I don't. Please PM it to me   Thank you.  

Thank you so much.  I'd love to take you to Starbucks when you get here if you're interested.  It's great meeting people from all over the world   

D001 - 2008-07-05 11:52 AM Yes, I know this is a CASUAL run challenge. But I figured I'd stir things up a bit. Why? Um, well, just because I'm a "giver" like that. So, as of July 5th, here's where you all stand: Running - Percent completed (per spreadsheet): abake - 36.67% eurydice79 - 23.08% jrcody - 22.80% dcrunningdiva - 18.75% Kenny Black - 15.83% tlnewman30 - 10.67% peto_primo - 3.00% lyssa gator - 2.50% Triathlynne - 0.00% amyro1234 - 0.00% Congratulations to abake for taking the lead!

After bombing out on the Move it or Lose it Challenge, I figured it might be good to take a conservative approach!

What a nasty little person to leave mean voice mails.  No one needs that kind of negativity. I am sending good vibes your way and hope things improve.

Thanks! I'd love to catch up but our scehdule in Seattle will be very tight, we'll be with family the whole time and a large portion of the visit we'll actually be windsurfing in Hood River - however if I find I have some spare time I'll definitely let you know! We'll be there end of July/ beginning of August

Hi guys and gals

since this thread is off to a lively start I'm going to unsticky it so it's with the rest of the challenge threads for the month

have a great time and here's to a great training month for all!

I could feel the good vibes on my bike ride.  Unfortunately our shower stuff didn't allow me time to run. Ron really wanted to get out on the bikes after we glued some pieces in place and I couldn't say no. He had worked really hard on it all weekend.

We took the green river trail and I'm ever so regretful that I forgot my camera. I really need a wee bag to put all my stuff in. Might go get one tomorrow! So no pics. Sorry about that.

I plan to run for an hour tomorrow to catch up on mileage and I have a triathlon this coming weekend too! YAY!  More milage.  My legs felt great on the bike tonight as did my lungs so all is well. For now. 

I understand. I'm actually off from work then. I don't want to barge in on any family time though. 

the green river trail sounds like it is definitely picture worthy!

Ooh it so totally is. Especially this time of year. It's so WIDE right now because of all the snow melt and so calm and peaceful. Oh and you know. I swear I've never seen so many rabbits in my life! It was like "The Birds" Only it was rabbits. LOL.   camera for sure next time.   Probably Sunday. 

I'm cracking up about "the rabbits" - so, did they chase you?

LOL 

Sounds like you have as many rabbits there as we have preire dogs here.  I swear I have never seen so many critters in one place that wasn't the zoo.

bippers22 - 2008-07-07 9:52 AM Hey everyone! Hope I'm not too late to join the challenge. Please don't laugh at my run goal Running is my worst event and I'm really glad to be in the challenge.

Welcome, I don't think anybody in this challenge will laugh at you gaols.  The fact that you are choosing to work on it at all speaks greatly for you character.  Good luck on finishing the goals that you set out for yourself.
