Poison Apples Team Thread (Page 15)

Walked 2.27 at lunch today.  Nice, cool weather finally! 

Rest day tomorrow, and I need it.  Shins are feeling a little unhappy, but not too bad.

kaqphin - 2007-10-11 2:42 AM 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!!!

Uh, looks like I've just been "volunteered"!!!! Someone told me there is usually a December Swim Challenge. If there is, then would another one in November generate much interest? As for you doing another challenge next month, well, you're doing an AWESOME job with this one. And it's HUGE! There are SO many people/teams to track. (And TANers to keep in line.) So yes, I can see why you'd prefer not to do another one next month. (What? You need to have time for the rest of your life?) Dee

haha... yeah someone usually puts together a swim one for December... not sure why thats become the norm.... as it is not the same person doing it each year!!! BUT there is no reason why there couldnt be one in November if someone organised it!

Having said that if no one gets anything together a swim challenge in december sounds perfect for me... I havent been swimming much recently due to focusing on other things... should really get back into it!

Someone remind me mid Novemebr to get it together ok? (assuming it hasnt happened from someone else)

jessicacrouchrt - 2007-10-11 6:26 PM I'm kinda hoping for a bike challenge next month since I'll be picking up my new bike next Friday, but I do love to swim....so you can count me in!

Or bike challenge next month. And swim challenge for December? Yeah, I'd be up for that, too.

Id be in for a bike challenge... as a participant!

8 miles, way to go.  That is awesome.  Glad the counting helped. 

Way to go Team -

We had some awesome victories today - KNS57 ran her first mile GREAT JOB!!!! and Lyssa who did 5 miles under 10 min/mile - GREAT JOB!!!!

I just finished a 2.25 mile run that takes me just under 1/2 way to go with at least another run tomorrow with hubby and a walk that put me up to 4.1 on the night (I am not counting my walking right now since I am trying to build run time)...

As of right now (7:23pm CST on Thursday) we are at 42.92% of goal... Big leaders...

Lyssa-gator - 63%, Baowolf - 59.60%, klgray - 55.26%, Dee - 49.7%.

Husker Tri Girl - how are you doing? I am starting to worry how you are doing.

Most of us have at least 30% of our goal completed.

Keep it up Poison Apples - we are doing GREAT!!!

Stacie

With the iffy weather today (looked like it was going to rain) and the need to do something about my lumbar pain, I took the easy way out and walked at the local jumbo mall.  They have massage chairs, so started with a 3 minute shiatsu and then on my way out stopped at Bed Bath and Beyond and gave both their shiatsu massagers a try...didn't totally fix it but for an hour or so it felt better.

The Arundel Mills website claims it's a mile around, but I bet it's a tad smaller.  Or maybe it's a mile if you hug the outside but I hugged the inside of the loop, so I put down 1.9 miles.  I was hoofing it the whole way without a slowdown so it was a good workout, but nice and easy on the body.  Tomorrow is a rest day.  Definitely can use it.

KNS....I'm so happy about your mile!  That's awesome.  Can't wait until I join you in that club in a few months.

You guys are all such great motivators.  I can't tell you how much help this challenge has been as far as keeping up through the tough first few weeks of getting into this.

Cat, Do you ever SLEEP? I think not! LOL Dee

haha its only coming up for midday here... see this is just part of my work day

Ok the winning team is the one with the highest average percentage achieved at the end of the challenge.

In the event of the tie it goes back to number of team members meeting their goal.

IF more than one team gets to 100% they can share the win... Im not penalising teams that get to 100% and I dont think anyone will object either!
