Expert 2555 Colorado Springs, Colorado | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) OK, I'm a last minute addition. Donskiman - Don. I'm 52. Started running at 45, triathlon shortly thereafter. This year I've focused on running and have taken it to a new level. Had a BQ marathon in May and 13 PRs so far this year. Now that my son is back in school I plan to ramp up my running again as I build toward Boston next year. I think I've only had okra in gumbo and it's good there. Started off the month today with a half marathon. This was a B race. I'll be doing a sprint duathlon next weekend and other races evey weekend this month ranging from a 5K to a 15 mile trail race. Looking forward to our team all making their goals and kicking butt! |

Member 168 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) Welcome new team members! Sesh...could you possibly make us a new table adding don little and donskiman to the roster? Despite being completely overeducated I still am a bit of a dummy when it comes to figuring out how to do the code and whatnot. I'll be getting my first run of the month in later today. Let's kick some challenge butt! |

Champion 7558 Albuquerque, New Mexico | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) Got my first run in this morning (3.75 miles). I'll be off-line this weekend (Thursday--Sunday), so if things appear quiet, don't be alarmed. |

Master 2232 Des Moines, Iowa | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) I will cover 2 miles today. You might call it a run, but it will look more like a lame duck walking to a pond. But it will be two miles. |

Veteran 152 Hillsborough, NH | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) Welcome Don. After not being able to drag my dead a$$ out of bed this morning, I finally got my 5.2 miles in at lunchtime. Trying to get it geared up. 5 more tomorrow. |

Expert 2555 Colorado Springs, Colorado | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) Thanks for the welcome. I got in 8.18 miles as a recovery run from the race yesterday. I find a nice easy run helps me in the recovery process. Gets the blood flowing and warms me up so I can get in some good stretching after the run. |

Champion 5117 Brandon, MS | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) 4.1 in the remnants of Gustav today. I love running in the rain, and not only for the funny looks I get. Looks like the okras are off to a good start! Keep it up! run |

Veteran 299 | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) Hey Guys, Sorry it took so long for me to post this. I feel like I have been on vacation for the whole month of August. I just got back from Virginia Beach I was doing the rock-n-roll half marathon. The week prior to that we were up in New Hampshire for the Timberman half ironman. That was a really cool experience. I was part of a relay team where I was the rider. Thanks for having me on the Okras. |

Okay Okra's - you need to whip me, prod me, and humiliate me. I respond well to Drill Seargent type of motivation. I'm bracing myself.... Life happens to all of us every day. Deal with it. If running at night is a problem, then find another time. Geez, with your goal you only have to find about 15-20 minutes a day to complete it. Or you can do nothing until the very end and run all your miles in one day - but that's guaranteed to hurt! We are here to kick some butt. You need to do your part. Don't let us all down. I got in 9.88 today. Normally the route I took is slightly over 10, but there was a detour due to some construction that shortened it. |

Champion 5117 Brandon, MS | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) Anybody else think that it looks like our mascot just had an uncontrollable case of the runners trots?
Or is that just me? |

Member 168 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) Ewwww. Now I see it...thanks for that fun image. Got my run in this morning despite staying up way too late last night. Can't guarantee I'll stay awake during neuro class this afternoon, but that's the sacrifice I'm willing to make for the team. Get out and run! |
