E.V.I.L. Running Reapers - Halloween Run Challenge (Page 26)

Ok - I need some cattle prodding. I know this is a run-challenge, which is great for my motivation to train for the marathon, but all the other stuff - swimming, core work, etc is going to the wayside. I need a taser to get my lazy butt outta bed.

Dee? Someone?

That's so cool!! You're going to feel like such a rock star out there.

I've got eight miles on the schedule today. What's up with all this "swimming" you folks are doing???

Yeah I checked, not too sure what that means though

You have been assigned to General Start#2.

Your bib number is 32511. 

I rechecked the web site, it seems I am in start #2 in coral D finally.

Cool. We're both in Wave 2 although you're on the orange route, I'm on blue. i believe both are on the upper level of the Verrazano bridge which means better views, and more excitement. I've been on the lower level too and that's alot more quiet. We'll be running on different sides of 4th Ave in Brooklyn till about mile 8 when all the routes merge. it's gonna be a great day!!

Hiya team!  I'm home post-surgery. Now I'm trying to catch up on all the posts here.

How you feeling??  Hope it went well.

Went well - they were able to do it laproscopically.  I was nervous that it would have to turn into an open surgery.

Pain is manageable now and I've been able to eat.  I'm going to try to take a walk with my husband when he gets home from work.

Maybe I can set a walking goal for the month.  I'm shooting for 5 - 10 minutes today. 

Glad you are feeling well. Take it day by day on the activity.  And take your meds for pain....don't wait until it is bad and then try to play catch-up- that is never a comfortable way to spend your night post surgery. sorry I'll get off my soapbox now

I learned that the hard way.  I should have spaced meds out better last night.  I went about 7 hours between doses and it was not a pleasant way to wake up this morning.

LOL.
I swam yesterday too and ohh it felt good... I'm feeling it in my poor shoulder/back today though.

I should run 3.5 today, but I also must pack for a weekend away so might just do my pushups today and do the run tomorrow on the coast.  We'll see how the next coupla hours play out -- but given that my son JUST howled while napping, this doesn't bode well.  Off to mother...

There ya go, man!

Hey All!  So who here gets a long weekend this weekend ~ for those of you who are about to ask "what for?", Columbus Day!?  Us military folk take it for granted that every holiday (and some made up) turn into long weekends!

I have managed to fit in all my scheduled runs so far this month and it MUST continue for my 1/2 mary is coming up!  I do think, however, that I am ditching my strength training today 'cuz my legs have been really heavy the last few weeks so I will give them a rest today (after already having done my run this morn) and tomorrow since it is my rest day!

Apparently, I don't have it off. Because I needed to keep reading your post to find out WHY it was a long weekend.

So no, we don't have Monday off.... It's just another same-old-Monday-kinda-workday.

Aw! She's really cute!

But she can't be the MOST spoiled dog in the world. (Because I'm pretty sure that my dog has that title all wrapped up. LOL)

Cool. I'll send you some of my work.

Oooo, this is great ^^^^^. I'd put it in my sig lines except that:
1) People generally DO see me, AND hear me.
2) My sig lines are already longer than 99.99% of the posts I write.

Very cool! That's really exciting!

Well, I see the laser has already been brought out. You'd better get moving before I take out the cattle prod, and you look like this:

Yay! That's so cool.

Great that they were able to do the laproscopy. A walking goal would be good. I remember after my surgery, I tried to walk along my street. I had always thought the road there was FLAT, but after the surgery, I learned that it resembled a roller coaster. LOL

"Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!"

Ah, the recurring theme of team threads.... Food, more food, and caffeine.
