Chanticleers Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) (Page 2)

Don't put off your workouts.  Sometimes I don't do my Monday workout and plan to fit it in later in the week.  Then they just pile up and it gets really hard and overwhelming later in the week.

Also, don't be afraid to take extra rest days if you're really feeling bad.  A lot of times, I will do a shorter one if I'm feeling sick and be willing to stop early.  

I'm getting ready for this one... by not running this week.  I hurt my ankle a little a few weeks ago, and was planning on starting running again this monday, but I'm putting it off another week to be safe.  The real challenge is going to be not overdoing the running this month.  I'm almost tempted to do it on a treadmill, since I have a lot of trouble running as slowly as I should be at this point.  12.5 miles per week shouldn't be any problem, as long as I can keep my ankle happy.

I'm ready.  My first tri is the upcomming weekend (aug 30th). 

For me, the challenge will finish with a 10k as part of my second tri on the 28th.   That leaves me with ~34 miles to get in for the rest of the month.   I've got my schedule of training completed and if all is going well might up my challenge distance 5 miles for the month.   Trying to make sure I keep increasing my distance steadily, but since my totals are pretty low I think I can safely add more than 10-15% monthly for a while.  Started mid june and looking at june 20, july 25, august 35, september 40-45, october 45-50.   Going to be quite a while before I can put up numbers that some of the other BT members (including two teammates!) have.

With the attention that most people have I don't think you'd have a problem even if you had other intentions!  Go get what you need and be happy and safe running! 

Todd

Buy the pepper spray!  Better safe & having to explain your actions, than unsafe & having everyone else comfortable!

I would love to run in the morning in the dark, but my DH is TOTALLY freaked out about it since we had a incident in Central Florida with a runner.

Oh well...signs of the times.

Be safe & run lots!!!

Welcome to the team Darren!   Looks like you'll have at least 26.2 of your miles scheduled.   Which race are you doing?

Todd

New strategy to make sure I get my miles in September:

Sign up for a race!  I've got a 5k on Sept 27th.  Miracle Miles in Orlando  to benefit the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Children. 

Once signed up & $$ for, you gotta run! 

Barb,

Starting Sept 1 you are no longer allowed to root against us!
