I'm not sure if I'd advocate you joining in, Jeff. A 5.15 mile run at 4:30 AM?? That'll put the rest of us to shame.

Welcome, though!

bswcpa - 2013-01-07 9:41 AM Haha Pam, I'm sure your hubby WASN'T lying about your sweetness. 

He was.  He's afraid of me.  Nay, I shouldn't say that but sweet isn't a word that people use to describe me.  I can be nice - but not sweet.  Mostly I'm a beyoch but sorta of a lovable one unless it's directed at someone in particular.

Wow, this group is getting going which makes is more fun.  Kate, you were a genius to start it.

Did my second run of the week at the local Y on the dreadmill.  The AC is out there and man was it hot!  Only a 30 min run and I was soaked!

Great job keeping up the running sessions everyone!

I had my run at the park cut short last night when I came upon a 3 year old child that was lost. I walked her back toward the playground figuring thats where she came from and came upon her bawling older sister. I felt bad for her, but glad I could reunite. 

I still need to get my long run in for the week. I had to take a rest day on Monday. I think that's not a good day to schedule it coz I am usually tired from training more on weekends. 

Happy Wednesday training to all :=)

jeffschulte0176 - 2013-01-10 7:33 PM Just finished 4 th run of the week

I'm sorry Jeff, pretty sure it's mathematically impossible to have finished your 4th run on Thursday  -- please check your records more carefullly Smile

I just finished #2 for the week.   Left calf has been bothering me a bit, so runs have been the 30 minute minimum, and not speedy!

Whoa, I'm from FL and I think you deserve double credit for that!!!!

Got 5 for the week: 22.2 miles.  Tomorrow is still part of the week for me but I don't think I'll be going running tomorrow.  Keep up the good work everyone!

Way to go, Nichi! Impressive to get out in that kind of weather. I'm too much of a whimp to run when its like that.

I got my 4th run in today and I did go outside because it was 54 and sunny which is unheard of for Indiana in the middle of January. I even wore shorts and a tank and was very comfortable. Tomorrow the forecast is for snow so yippee for a reprieve from winter even though it was short.

Do we have a clear definition of a week? I've been using the calendar week - starting with Sunday and going through Saturday. I guess it doesn't matter as long as you get 4 runs in a 7 day period, correct?

Good job, Jeff, on your 2-a-day on Monday. I'm still snoozing peacefully when you're up and at 'em at 4:30.

So glad you were the one to find the little girl, Kate. I'm sure the sister was freaking out and I'm sure she was really grateful to you. Gold star goes to you for your helpfulness. Sorry your run was cut short but what you did was much more important.

How's your calf feeling, Scott? Usually both my calves hurt when I run too strenuously so I wondered why it's just your left one that's giving you problems? Slow is my new fast, so I'm right with you on speed.

Way to show the rest of us up, Pam, with your overachievment of 5x this week. Yes, please take tomorrow off so you don't deflate us even more with 6x! Nice total mileage, too!

Heading to my daughter's basketball game soon, then watching NFL playoffs the rest of the eve. Happy Weekend to you all. Keep up the good work!

Way to go everyone!!! Thanks for checking in. Everyone's commitment really inspires me. 

As far as what constitutes a week, I think people have different schedules so it doesn't really matter whether you go Sunday-Saturday or Monday - Sunday, just as long as we check in to share our progress at least once a week. 

I got all my training runs in. Tired..lol..

Better.  I did run #3 on Saturday morning, still a short run but back up to normal speed -- then just finished #4 tonight, a long run at close to normal speed.    

This challenge has been a nice little boost!  Those "run every day" challenges scare me, but this one is just enough to nudge me on a marginal day.  

Congrats all on another successful week!

Scott.

Great job everyone!  Kate, I'm so glad that you were there for that child in the park; runs are unimportant when it comes to that.

I've got 2 runs in for the week thus far.  Was going to try for my 3rd but just realized that I didn't have enough time tonight.

Ran yesterday morning for #1.

Ran tonight, but I'll need some leeway from you guys to declare it #2!   My treadmill broke about 10 minutes into the run.  Frown   I think it's just a bolt that needs replacement -- hopefully can do that tomorrow and be back up quickly.

Scott.
