Kathy,  Thanks for the get well wishes... I feel great today... I honestly think its my body saying "no more" without some sleep and a whole bunch of calories...  I am having to figure out just how much energy my body needs considering it is expending a bunch more these days..... Also.. haven't forgotten the TI DVD.. work keeps in the way.. ha..

Today seems to be my post day.. soooo... for the record..

I am STILL reading thru the old posts... won't tell you where i am at.. but it sure is fun.. and motivating...  Some great personalities.. great stories.. great advice...

PS... Run like a Mother!!!  too funny....

reposting:  SUNDAY so you all don't do "my" mile before I do. Maria's might be on Saturday, though?

Jeff and Kathy...awesome races!

I'll run Sunday with everyone...but outside if that's ok!  

Billy I just haven't posted those two reports so I get attention from you....maybe I'll hand deliver them since I have your address.  I'm sure Lena will come along with me!!! 

Oh yea!   Bow chicka wow wow

Nope, I'm also Sunday... Saturday I'll be at work in meetings all day.

Jeff-- Great job!!!  Try to run even splits. Its easier said than done but it does help.

Kathy--I felt like a failure at my masters swim. I was usually the slowest person each time and I did and IM so don't feel so bad. Just worry about your breathing and forum. Speed will come once you get that stuff down.

The group is much more active this year which is nice. Keep it up. I will get an run a couple on sunday too if my wife doesn't have my day filled.

My miles for Maria and Suzie may be the slowest of the group since I have never run anything beyond 10 miles.  So mile 12 and 13  will be by FAR my longest miles into a run yet.  In as much as I am doing this for you guys, I am hoping the thought that I am running them for you will give me wings or something.  Oh, can you tell I am getting nervous...  At least I know I will finish because there is no way I am not running mile 12 and 13.

I have only done little runs and yoga this week.

triplebypat/ did you get my PM about the vets camp, anything I can do to help?

Yes, i did. and very much appreciated. sorry i have not responded - i was waiting on clarification on a couple things.

But to answer one question... once we get through this camp for our great military veteran-athletes and go through a Lessons Learned process, the goal is to take this model to other locations. It is all about community involvement, and giving back to these folks. Team Red, White and Blue will use our performance for future planning.

Thanks, Pam.

And Suzy -- even this plodding elephant will walk parts... my cardiologist made a point of that before allowing me to do Ironman Florida... i no longer have the capacity to oxygenate fully if I try to run the whole thing. (yup, kinda like getting a hall pass at school)

Hey Suzie,  I am working Sat night 7p-7a, so I have to sleep sat morning but are you running Sunday because I would join you for that?  Not sure who Maria is but I will support her as well.  I have been running longer distances and my avge speed is around 11 or 12 min miles, so I am right there with you.  Are you doing one mile or two and about what time?

Ann - I'll run the whole first mile in one peice, and then run/walk another mile and a half.  My plan calls for 24 mintues of total running, which I figure will be two solid miles of running plus the walk breaks.  I'll start at 11:30 pacific time on Sunday.  Thanks for joining me!

You all are the best. 

Hmmmm... so i reckon that means 9:30 am Eastern..... I guess that means i will roll out of bed and into my shoes...

Someone please correct me if my time changes are incorrect!!
