Special Update - With just three days to go, here are the Team Standings - as of Midnight Wed Feb 27th:

Congratulations to RUNNING WITH SCISSORS! Yet again, they are the current leaders in the Feb Challenge!

Don't forget - You can now log up to 110%! Doing this can really help your team!

February is now 93% completed. There are only THREE DAYS LEFT in the challenge! So get out there and SWIM, BIKE and RUN!

Please have your final totals logged on the spreadsheet by midnight on Saturday March 1st. These will be the numbers that decide the winning and losing teams! (Team Captains, here's where you earn your "pay!" Please make sure the spreadsheets are fully updated.)

Took one for the team this morning 10.5 miles on the treadmill!!!  82.24/80 for 103%!!!

Go team PFFT!!!  We are almost there! 

Headed out for a run on the beach in the warm sunshine this morning and ran 10 miles @ GA Pace. This puts me over my goal for the month and everything from here on is gravy for the team:

Run: 258/250 - 103%

Team: 85.89%

With: 5/16 folks having already reached their goals. (3 Days Left in the challenge)

Train Well Team Pfreaky Pfft

Just got back from the doctor.  I have an upper respiratory infection, but the doc gave me some kick-butt antibiotics, so I should be better soon, but unfortunately not in enough time to get my last 8 miles in.  I asked him if I could still train this week...he just laughed...

Well, I stand at 88% of goal.  Is it best that I drop out, or do we have enough team overage to cover?

My feeling is that we are all a team Sal, and would rather see you finish with the team even if it is less than what you had hoped. You put in a great month of training and would hate to see you drop from the team so close to the finish. (Regardless of your final % Complete)

In the end, it is all about the motivation that comes from being on a team that makes all of this so much fun. We start as a group, hang together as a group, and finish as a group.

Whatever happens with the final standings is not nearly as important to me. FWIW: I think there are quite a few folks who will be logging a 110% so we will have a good chance of hitting 100% overall as a team.

I am not the team Captain and have no official say in how your illness get's treated. This is just my opinion

The value of these challenges is not winning or losing, it is pushing each other to succeed in our training goals.  Sometimes life throws us a curve ball that is outside of our control.  Here's hoping your bug clears up quickly and you get back on track for March!!!

Appreciate the comments Tim and Ken...lots of awesome examples of leadership, teamwork and discipline on this team...

Rock on team...just a gentle reminder to think twice before running sick...the doc just shook his head when I told him I ran 13 miles SICK last Saturday in 2 degree weather......sometimes it's best to take a break and let the body take care of recovery...

Rock on! Welcome to the 100+ Club.. I will join you tomorrow!

Let's go team! Two days left! Let's finish strong!

Hey guys, unfortunately I'm in the sick crowd as well.  Starting to feel a little better, but I'm also sitting at about 82%.  We still have two days left, so assuming I'm on an upward trend health-wise, I should be able to get at least a little something in, each of the next two days.

I was looking forward to fill in near 110%, now it looks like I'll be very luck to hit 100...sorry guys =/ 

Got my 8 in and am now at 91% with only 5 miles left to go. If I can eek out another mile or two, I will try, but I can't promise it. Team is at 88.18%

Sorry to hear about all the illness! There is so much going around right now. 

Sorry to hear this Kathy

I was looking forward to watching your buildup for LP.

Thanks Capt. 

Good job everyone for working hard and brining in the miles when it counts.  Gonna try and hit 110%.

9h 27m 21s - 55.43 Mi for the month!!

I made my goal today

My run today felt fantastic...it wasn't fast particularly, but in a rest week...I only ran 6 miles but felt like I could go and go and go. Some runs are just so great!! 

I have one more 2 mile run scheduled for Friday..so I should finish a tad over my 55 miles. 

Caitlin, Challenges come and go, but you only have one body... Read Sparco's comment about the doctor and training sick.

I am more worried about you guys making it past this crud and healing up.... Get well!!!

Way to go Kathy! Wooohhooo!!! Rock on!!!

An Extra run today to help the team -- I'm now at 38.15/35 miles or 109%  Felt great -- did my own "personal" triathlon today (aka double brick)  Was great fun.

Team now at 88.67.  Still a way short, but with all the sickness I'm amazed how well our team is doing.  Keep it up everyone, and to all the sick ones out there -- GET BETTER!!!

Headed out into the fog this morning and did 12 miles at the beach.  I did tomorrow's workout today and so was 12 instead of the planned 10. (I will do the 10 tomorrow)

Now at:

270/250 - 108%

Team: 88.97%

We have 5 folks well over 100% of goal, and at least another 5 within striking distance of achieving their goal before the end of the month.

Great job everyone. Has been great fun hanging out with team Pfreaky Pfft

I have a run planned today (4miles) that will bring me to 100% of my goal.  I will try to get a run in tomorrow of 6 miles to get me to 110% if my shins cooperate.

Good luck to everyone in closing out their goals.

Just finished a quick run with ym brother to close out my goal. Now at 100%. Another run in the morning before we head to the B&B to get to that + 100 mark.

NICE JOB Team! You guys are all tagging that 100+%! Rock On!!!

Thanks...I'm heeding the advice of nearly everyone I know and taking it easier than I want while I have all this crud in my lungs.

Also, just want to give a great big THANK YOU to everyone who's putting in extra miles for the team this month!! 

Finished the month out with a 6 mile run this morning to put me over 110%!!! Thank God for leap year!!!

Great job team!!!
