February run challenge - Mid-Atlantic Monster Milers! (Page 3)

Great job everyone!  Now let's hope this snow is less crippling than they are predicting so we can all get our weekend runs in!

I'll be out running my 12 regardless on Sunday. Actaully can be a little refreshing to run in the snow.

(As long as it is not too deep and/or has been plowed some. My neighborhood tends not to get plowed very fast).

Awesome team!!

I also flipped my days and did my LSD run today and will do my trainer ride tomorrow, so my total for the month is up to like 37.5 or something like that (have to look at my log).

Edit: 37.3 miles actually ......... 45.5% done .........

Don't sweat it, there are more important things than workouts. Your health and recovery are the key things to take care of!

I had been planning on doing 15 miles this week, but between a cold in the beginning of the week and an asthma attack today, I only got in 9.01.  That brings my month total to 19.01 or 38.02%.  Not really where I wanted to be, but I promise that I will do more next week.

I was sick most of the week also. I didn't feel good until Sat. but I got 2 miles in today, so my total for this week is only 2 (sorry). I will run more next week to get back on track.

I got 24 miles in for the week. Hope everyone is feeling better soon.

Updated monthly numbers as of this morning (I went by what people reported and what I gleaned from the logs, so let me know if anything is not accurate).

Runner - total so far / pledged (percentage complete)

AlBearAngel - 8/28 (28.5%)
Artemis - 19.01/50 (38.0%)
cbost2678 - 11.9/50 (23.8%)
chris hughes - 17.3/35 (49.4%)
CubeFarmGopher - 31.05/50 (62.1%)
dare2trimom - 19/50 (38%)
Daremo - 37.3/82 (45.5%)
ejc999 - 34.8/75 (46.4%)
ekl26 - 13/40 (32.5%)
fishnrich - 9.25/30 (30.8%)
karris - 24/40 (60.0%)
kleinrider - 11/40 (27.5%)
PTinVA - 42.1/90 (46.8%)
rrizzo - 37/100 (37%)
skazi - 41/90 (45.6%)

Team overall total so far ........... 355.71/850 miles (41.85%). That is slightly below where we want to be as a team at this point in the game. BUT, that is totally understandable because of a number of our teammates were down with the colds/flu bugs.

For the end of this week (Sun. 2/19) we want to be at 67.86% of our individual goal to keep on track.

We are doing fantastic team. Don't let the colds and the snow bring you down! Halfway through the month basically and we are still kickin' butt!

20 miles total (10.5 this week) going in the logs right now. 

awesome everybody, even in the bad weather...I know I am only at 37% but with my long runs getter longer I am still set to hit my goal so I will keep emailing you all as well to encourage you!

I know I must be running a lot cuz my tushy is hurting

Edited to reflect ekl26's revised numbers. Puts us above our goal percentage!!

Alright team, it's time to step it up! Halfway through the month and we are hanging in there well.

But the Florida team has probably passed us for the lead for the overall! We need to get out there and crank the miles!

Remember, it's not about how you play the game, it is totally about WINNING!!!

(No, seriously it is about getting out there and getting that fitness level up! I did my 5.1 mile tempo this morning, let's get out there and crank!)

We are definitely not in the lead anymore ..... in fact we dropped quite a bit.

Here we go for mid-month:

Team Florida Force 50.84%
Midwest Team Roster: 39.65%
Mid-Atlantic Team 41.96%
Crazy Canucks 47.75%
West Coast team: 40.10%
Team Kansas: 43.32%
NE Hummin' Hamsters:45%

I know a lot of people have been sick. Hopefully colds are over so we can get the miles in and get back in shape!

Keep it up team!

I know this week is going much better for me.  I've gotten in 8.35 miles in so far and I'm planning on an 8 mile run this weekend.  Hope everyone else is doing great!  We can do this!

Since I didn't do my swim today (shoulder issues from all the snow shoveling - which ironically is now all gone because of the 60 degree days we've been having) I went for a nice recovery run this morning and tacked on a few more miles.

I'm still on a pretty decent pace and will easily hit my goal. Come on team, we can do this!!

I should be within 4 miles of my goal after my race this weekend.  I don't suppose upping goals or exceeding them would help the team average, would it?  I did this on purpose so that I could have recovery time, but now saying that I will only run 3.5 miles between Saturday and the end of February seems ridiculously low.  This of course assumes that I am at least able to hobble across the finish line tomorrow. 

Unfortunately they do not count mileage above and beyond, but it is awesome that you are close to it already! My projected training plan has me easily hitting mine as well, but it will not actually happen until next Sunday.

Good luck in your race! Run smart and do your best!

My mileage goal includes my marathon next Sunday (26th), so I won't hit my goal until the end of the month, but I will make it.

C'mon guys...our goals weren't that tough. Bundle up and get outside!

Today sucked, but I got out there and did 13.3 (in weather barely twice that number).
