Hugs - February Challenge (Page 13)

You're just trying to avoid donning the Cheerleader outfit and pom poms. :P

Short run tonight just to test out my calf and foot to see how my ever-existant leg/foot cramps felt. After almost a week I just can't get the muscles to loosen up... at least my sloooow jog on the treadmill didn't make it any worse. Got a few bonus miles on the trainer in after that to finish off the episode we had on and to not fall too far behind in my "love" goal. Now I just need to get in the pool this month so I don't look like such a slacker... oh, wait I mean so no one else knows I such a slacker...

I was able to get my four mile fartlek in tonight.  Hopefully the snow won't keep me from my 5 miler tomorow.  Keep training party people.

Ok.  caught up reading posts.  Who is getting the cheerleader outfit and pom pons again?  Dee or Sparco?  I vote for Dee.  (sorry sparky....)

I agree that running in the cold can be pleasant, but running when its freezing isn't. I get the feeling there are differences of opinion in our definitions of what "cold" is. What's cold to me is probably nice spring weather for you.

Be careful out there all you Huggies.  We have too many injuries.  We hate to see you have to drop out of the challenge but even more then that, we would hate to see your season ruined.

Dee, you must be driving the web people crazy.  They have to keep coming up with new color stars just for you.  As it is right now, you almost have more stars then the military.

Oooo, she's closing in on 20k.  Nice!

I'm laid up for a couple days... probably no workouts until this weekend (HOPEFULLY).  I'm sure we're going to have a snow day tomorrow, so I'll just continue to rest (as much as the kids will let me).  I'm not going to adjust my goals, just work extra hard when I'm able to.  Team HUGS has been hit hard by the injury/illnes bug... Hang in there, Gang!!!

Oil change scheduled for the car this morning and then long run this afternoon.  Gotta get it done before the snow starts flying tomorrow. 

  Hope you heal up quickly.  Our team has been slammed with injuries/sickness. 

I CAN swim!  Nicole, o.k. if I put myself back on the team, but change my love goal to swimming?  I should be able to make the goal.

I vote for Dee as well.  You don't want to see me in a cheerleader outfit.

Way to go Sparky!!

I think I am glad that I only have  a swimming goal.  It is tough out there for the team.  Our roster and Disabled List seem to be the same!  Hope everyone is recovering.

I am going to try and swim today.....keep your fingers crossed the Y pool isn't closed again!!

Sure, anything that will keep you motivated. I'm glad you can stay active.

I decided to do a swim Love goal instead of biking because of weather vagaries, but now the weather has the aquatic centers closed and I'm "stuck" on the trainer. You never can tell!

We are the Hearts
We came to win
We love to run, we love to bike, we love to swim

We wanna challenge
the Hugs n' Kisses
We'll leave 'em in the dust and they will miss us

From The Hearts

another pot stirrer.....

although - no dust here, only snow and ice!

We're not dead yet.  I think our team would love to make you eat your words (and possibly our dust).  What say we team?  

Excellent!!! Extra motivation to ride the trainer tonight!!

Got my 9 miles done.  Was gonna only do 8 but pressed on to get the entire 9.  Weird run, I was hot, I was cold, I was tired, I had energy.  Got chased by a dog again.  He looked all mean until I yelled at him.  Then he looked sad.  Kind of cute if it wasn't the second time this dog has come after me.  Not happy with the owners.  Then when I was almost home, my cell rang and it was a call I had to take.  Ack!  Oh well, it's in the books! 

At least all that kept you from getting bored? Seriously, way to get it done!

My legs are still stiff from my "training run" sunday! Did 40 mins on exercise bike today, in hopes to wash out the lactic acid! Feels better already. To the pool tonite.

Hopefully legs will e good for a short run tomorrow & then start again. I am falling way behind on my run. I did not take into consideration what my race did to my legs!!!

Nevertheless, the month is young! Also, the hearts have motivated me!!!
