E.V.I.L. Running Reapers - Halloween Run Challenge (Page 3)

KOM - 2009-09-27 4:00 PM While drinking Cosmos and posting on the December 08 Vixen thread I committed to running my first half marathon- it was definitely the vodka talking but I did it any way.  I am planning to run that half again in late February and want to train well.  I hope to lower my time and avoid the ITB issue that cropped up last year at the 10 mile mark.

KOM - 2009-09-27 9:56 AM So you like the 310?? I am thinking of getting it, have never had a Garmin, and  worry that it is too big to fit on my wrist!

Chaderbox - 2009-09-27 7:45 PM Hey team, I'm Chad.  I'm a nurse and I work ONLY weekend nights, so I can stay home during the week with my 1 yo son while Mrs Chad works.

Anyhow, Dee isn't unpacked yet because despite living only a handful of minutes from me, she still hasn't asked me to help her unpack.  I have also been zapped with a taser in RL, and I'm not scared of Dee and her cattle prod.

Happychick - 2009-09-27 8:19 PM Soooo, I figured up my goal for the month and it looks like it will be 105 miles ~ at least that's what the plan says I have to do!   Aaaand this will leave me hanging exactly 1 week and 1 day to go for my half marathon.  I gotta say that I'm pretty excited about it but then I'll have three months to play with and decide if I'm going to do a HIM next year!!!  Can you say "desperately seeking swim skills?!"

And I too got roped into that half marathon but instead of the vodka talking, it was wine.  Red, red wine.  How I love thee. 

D001 - 2009-09-28 12:06 AM Here guys, have a nice little drinky. Let's see if we can get you to commit to a full marathon this time around.

Anyone racing this weekend?  I'm doing a 5K.

ebshot - 2009-09-28 7:49 AM It's almost time for my kids to get on the bus!!!!  Then I shall have a little peace and quiet.  But I can't enjoy it.  I need to clean my house.  Such fun, no?

If only this came out back when I was contemplating what to get...isn't this the one you can swim with?  Anyway Kathy, I was scared to death about that also.  After getting the 305 I really doubted my decision 'cuz it bothered me soooo much when I ran.  However, thanks to the wonderful input of folks here I invested in the quick release velcro strap and never, ever have any issues.  Mind you, this is coming from someone who cannot wear a watch because it bothers me and my wussy girl wrists!!
