Running with Scissors (Page 18)

I LIKE it!! But if I'm going to be kicking butt, can I have a cuter/sexier outfit?  Just watched Project Runway w/ the WWE girls.  I wanna look like that! 

lyssa-gator - 2008-02-06 8:59 PM ran today, but not twice. i got on a baking binge, and have been in the kitchen a lot. i made two different kinds of cookies, bread, cinnamon rolls, and apple crisp. so far the only thing i've touched though is the apple crisp. i have a weakness. going to log my run, then i'll update the spreadsheet.

Nice job on the run....I love apple crisp...glad to hear that you didn't leave the kitchen because you were cooking...I was afraid that you were eating your way out! hehe Man...if I bake all that....I would eat all that! you are much stronger than I! Way to get another run down...Have a great evening and STAY AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN...at least the GOODIES! )

yeah, weirdly, when i bake it, i almost NEVER eat it. that's why i think i love to bake so much!!

You are better then I!!!! depending on what it is...I would have to have it under lock and key! hehe

Howdy Team - are there any east coasters out there?

that sounded funny

Yikes! I can't keep up with this group. Page 11 already?

Keep it up. Everyone seems really motivated.

Yeah, and the scary thing is --> They got to page 11, even though Beth hasn't been online much! Good thing there's no post padding war competition this month! (Hm, usually, I'd blame 10 of the 11 pages on Beth. But if she's not here, who might be responsible for all these post paddings posts? Hmmmmmmmm!) Chatter on "Scissor Runners." I love a good post padding conversation.

LOL

Like I said in the Blisters thread, I may have met my match!

thanks Julie!!!!

maybe I have to pull out the heavy pouting arsenol again to bring Hector out to play - it worked the last time - LOL

Artemis - 2008-02-06 12:33 PM I think Julie officially gets the job of "team highlight provider".  That was great. 

x2!!!!!

Looks like everyone is running and running

I do have one run in, but haven't had time to update the spreadsheet - I'll probably do that this weekend.

I'll get at least one more in this week - next week should be better as I will know my way around a bit more

I'm enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. Yesterday we set a new temp record of 74. Unfortunately I didn't get out to play in it.

Today I swam 2000m and work on some open turn drills. Tomorrow morning I'll run another 3.4 miles.

that is really warm for January!

what is the temp usually?

I'm an east coaster.  Got stuck in traffic this morning, though, so I'm on a little later than normal. 

Agreed!  The weather has been great!  It's giving me motivation to get out there and do all of my workouts.   

Thanks Nicole for the link. Any swimming tips you can pass on to this ole girl who is trying to build up her endurance would be great! I am a total newbie to laps....but lived in a pool! so I am a fairly good swimmer...just no endurance and no speed! hehe

ScotinSeattle - 2008-02-06 10:31 PM Another 1.87 miles for me tonight Still going to take it slow for a bit. I am hardly coughing at all now. WOOT!

Glad to hear you're feeling better!!  Way to get caught up and ahead in your running! 

Usually about high of 47. 

I've got a great workout schedule for increasing endurance. It's called 0-1650 in 6 weeks:

Week 1 (x 3 days): (700m)
100m x 4 (12 breath rest)
50m x 4 (8 breath rest)
25m x 4 (4 breath rest)

Week 2 (x 3 days): (900m)
200m (12 breath rest)
100m x 4 (10 breath rest)
50m x 4 (6 breath rest)
25m x 4 (4 breath rest)

Week 3 (x 3 days): (1250m)
400m (12 breath rest)
100m x 4 (8 breath rest)
50m x 6 (4 breath rest)
25m x 6 (4 breath rest)

Week 4 (x 3 days): (1500m)
600m (10 breath rest)
300m (8 breath rest)
100m x 4 (6 breath rest)
50m x 4 (4 breath rest)

Week 5 (x 3 days): (1600m)
1000m (8 breath rest)
100m x 4 (4 breath rest)
50m x 4 (4 breath rest)

Week 6 (x 2 days): (1650m)
1200m (6 breath rest)
200m (4 breath rest)
100m (4 breath rest)
50m x 3 (4 breath rest)

Week 6 (day 3):
1650m straight!

I typically swim only 2x/week so it took me longer to go through the plan. For me the hardest step was going from week 4 (600m straight) to week 5 (1000m straight). I think I needed to do some extra swims at week 4 and may have thrown in a day where I did 800m straight.

Hi!

The new job is good - I'm starting to feel like I'm knowing my way around a bit - at least I can make it to the restroom and cafeteria without asking for directions - LOL

made to work this morning without getting lost -

that's still pretty warm compared to what I'm used to
