TOPpage Well, I always train with music but I don't seem to miss it during races. I did do my first marathon last year with the ipod. I will be going ipodless Sunday. 26.2 miles with my own unpredictable thoughts seems daunting you doing a Marathon Sunday? Im doing the smaller Half! |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team 3 Halloween Run Challenge notarunnr - 2009-09-30 7:01 PM serendipity - 2009-09-30 9:54 PM notarunnr - 2009-09-30 9:47 PM serendipity - 2009-09-30 9:24 PM Got my workout tonight playing pickleball. Anyone else ever played? It's on a tennis court (with different lines than tennis) with paddles kind of like ping-ping paddles and a wiffle ball. The wiffle ball makes it interesting because alittle wind really affects the game. I was never any good at tennis, but pickleball is fun. The group we play with isn't too serious about it and they're crazy enough to play even though it's 40 degrees. We have the tennis courts to ourselves, because all the tennis players left for Florida after Labor Day. I was inside and didn't see it, but my daughter hung out after school to watch the boys' soccer game and said it snowed for about 5 minutes. The new season is fall, right? Not winter? 'cause it feels like winter out there. Yea snow! We were watching the Gore Mountain site and they said snow for Wednesday! We are hoping for a Thanksgiving opening...... At the rate we're going they'll have a Halloween opening. (But not earlier, since I'm supposed to run a 5K there on the 11th.) Whiteface in Lake Placid got it's first snow on the ground. Which reminds me that my skis need sharpening. The Leaf cruncher? That is a great race! I see you are no longer driving north....Where are you? We have a cabin in Indian Lake and are up there as much as we can be. I love cycling rt 28 between IL and North Creek, can't beat that elevation drop. Ride into town and stop at Sarah's Bakery..........to fuel for the long climb back to IL. cabin....sista you never told me....is there a reason! haha like you dont want me to visit!!!! sounds like a great place! I love drops - nothing better then a screamer downhill....and Sarahs Bakery sounds like a must have....but the ride back UP...I will need some cheese with my whine! |

TOPpage I always ran with music until one day I just forgot my iPod and didn't miss it at all. Now I leave it home unless I'm having one of those days where I'm not very motivated to get out and run. My husband hates that I stopped running with music. With all that time to think, I keep coming up with projects to add to his to-do list. haha....no wonder my husband is always in front the tube watching sports! |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team 3 Halloween Run Challenge jaxbamf73 - 2009-10-01 5:06 AM Hello TEAM! Just entered my goal miles for the challenge.....100 miles! Feel free to stop by my blog and give me a little motivation from time to time as I'm sure I'll need it. I've never done 100 miles in a month and have averaged about 35 miles for the last few months. But I have a 70.3 this weekend and start the marathon training on Monday..... GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ON REACHING YOUR GOAL! wow! that is quite the feat! will do what I can to keep you going forward! |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team 3 Halloween Run Challenge aspeelma - 2009-10-01 5:15 AM For those of you that run with music what kind of stuff do you listen to? I need to find some good workout tunes. I have a huge mix on mine! but I have to say if it is slow moving...Im slow moving! if it is upbeat...I seem to have more of a kick in my run... some of my faster moving songs are like the stray cats, b52's, red hot chile peppers, talking heads... |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team 3 Halloween Run Challenge kimk - 2009-10-01 5:45 AM As for music I listen to the I-pod most of the time. I live in the city and use it to drown out the noise! If I am at the cabin and running the trails then no music just nature! It is my favorite place to run! Just wish it wasn't 4 hours away! cabin.....sounds like many of us have cabins...any others? time to do a cabin swap! |

The one in Tempe, AZ. I'm from PA but I needed something to shoot for over the winter so I picked there. I try to stay just off of the middle, so cars would be oncoming but sometimes I drift. Also, where I live there are no lines on the roads and a lot of people just drive down the middle. Even if I'm on my side of the road I feel more comfortable knowing I can hear a car coming. |

Just finished my season on Sunday with 2nd in my age! First time I have gotten hardware! I want to do a 1/2 mary the beginning of November so this run challenge will do me good! Need to still figure out my goal. Will look at the training plans here or if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them! The longest I have ever run was a 10 mile but that was in June. I have only been doing 5k's since then. So I need to start from there. I am also a fitness instructor at the Y and need to adjust my workouts for when I teach a lot of classes. Kim, congrats on the AG hardware!!!! x2~ also kim there is a program I followed called Hal Higden...wanna join us hals gals? he makes it simple to train...just follow his daily program...if you are too late just count backwards from the day of the race and see where you should be.... http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/index.htm and my sister who is a marathon runners SWEARS by the run 5min walk 1..run 5 min walk 1...for the entire race...says she totally beats her times of trying to run the whole thing!?!

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team 3 Halloween Run Challenge wgraves7582 - 2009-10-01 6:07 AM BTW - This is a run challenge but I am in the planning stages of a fall trip from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon and back in Mid November. Anyone interested in joining me? Oh - on the bike I should say. Plan to leave Phoenix Friday AM - make GC Saturday afternoon/evening (250 miles or so) - Hang out Sunday morning and head back Sunday-Monday and fly out Tuesday afternoon. 1st week of November is out but I think 2nd is probably best so I can refuel with Thanksgiving in a couple of weeks! would love to bring you your carbon fiber bike! |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team 3 Halloween Run Challenge aspeelma - 2009-10-01 6:38 AM I'm relatively new to this whole thing, I did most of my running last year inside on a treadmill, I'd rather not do that if I don't have to. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to wear as to run outside when the weather gets colder? I'm especially concerned on how to keep my feet warm. layer...layer....layer! that way you can take off as needed and tie around your waist. as for feet..the do have some toe warmer running socks. but since I dont have too cold weather here I dont know.... and as for the rain...I have found that I find my childhood all over again when I go and run in the rain....great fun as long as my feet dont get tooooo sopping wet! what size are you...I am about to pay forward in the classifieds a bunch of clothing...some is almost new! and some is! |
