Poison Apples Team Thread (Page 14)

Hey everyone -

 2.75 miles in the book for me tonight. Wha hoo... Congrats to everyone who got out there today, and congrats to those who have an off day today - I had one yesterday and enjoyed it. Hubby and I ran again tonight. We had a GREAT run tonight. Seems we did alright with almost 3 miles straight at an 11 min mile pace - just if all runs could be this way. We took the last .10 and "turned it up a notch" - I said not much - I kept up with hubby and we hit 6:14min/mile for that .10 - thank goodness it was only .10 miles

Updated spreadsheet is attached. We are well on our way - we are at 36.60% so far. I think we can hit 50% by the end of this week.  Leaders so far - D001 with 49.70%, klgray with 48.77%, Baowolf with 48.20% and lyssa-gator with 47%... (As if we needed something else to talk smack about)

Fielding - 2007-10-10 6:18 PM I know! I'm already feeling a little guilty that today isn't a run day for me. But I'll be back at the pool tonight (and you know how much I love that, ugh).

That's ok. I like the pool enough for both of us. I am SO wanting a Swim Challenge! Hey, I know - the next time there's a Swim Challenge, let's you and I BOTH join it! Wouldn't that be fun? Hehehe, I can just imagine what you're saying right now.

You know ANYONE can run a challenge right? You just have to post up and ask for interest

Otherwise Im keen to do a swim one sometime... I already have a few ideas BUT I can tell you I probably wont be doing a challenge next month!!!

1 mile today.

The cool thing about it though, is that I ran the whole mile.  No walking (not counting the warm up and cool down).  This is my first full mile run all running.  My goal is to be able to run a whole 5K on New Years Eve without any walking. 

Poison Apples Rule!

lyssa-gator - 2007-10-10 10:57 PM glad you're better beowolf. as for anitomically correct seats, i saw one (for women) in a magazine, and had to read the caption just to see what it was!! i thought it was *something else* (grins) i was relieved actually to see that it WAS a bike seat, and not what i thought it was at first. seems like it would be worth trying out anyway. that was honestly the only thing that was sore after my race. my legs were fine, my arms, shoulders, everything, but my, um, sitting area was not so fine, and it took quite a while (a week at least) to get back to normal. when i get to get a new bike (hopefully in the spring?) i'll check it out. my bike is garbage though, i'm sure i've mentioned. maybe when i get a new one, i'll have the pleasure of lighting my old one on fire, and throwing it over a cliff or something. that'd be good. planning on a relatively long run in the morning, but as usual it depends on my husbands work. if they call him in, i'm stuck. again. (the money is nice, but i'm kind of hoping for him to not get called) g'night apples, sleep and recover, tomorrow we RUN!!

I'm all for the anatomically correct seats.  I got one a couple of years back and it made a huge difference on the century ride that I did (and of course on all the training).  No more numbness or pain you know where.  My hubby got one for men and he too felt it was well worth the money spent.  If you are waiting a while before getting the new bike, you may think about getting the seat now.  It might change how you feel on the old (garbage) bike.  Just a thought.

Congratulations! HUGE accomplishment!! I remember this milestone like it was yesterday. It sounds weird, but it was probably a bigger deal to me than my first 5K or tri even!  Keep it up-- sounds like a great New Year's plan!
