Team Skinny (July 2010) Let Freedom Ring (Page 3)

I think I am up for a 5K maybe a 10K. Whichever one I can win for sure THAT is the one I am doing. However, IF anyone is up for a how many pullups, pushups, hand stand pushups in so many minutes I am up for that as well.

I am in for 5k tommorow. Was supposed to do a brick today, got the bike in and th 94 degree sunshine killed my run. Had to shut it down.

I am definitely looking for an AG win on the 4th.....Yeah Me!!!

Oh sure.  You can do your holiday race today, tomorrow or Monday.  Just post your results by Monday night so that we can confirm that once again I will win in the W 50-54.  Or do I have to be the age that USAT thinks I am, which is 55?  Nah.  For a running race I have a few more months of truly and actually 54 

I have a long time til I can't say 54...

What??  I thought your birthday was March and mine is November and you are eight months older.  But I am 54 now and will be 55 in November.  Are you telling me that I have had it wrong all this time and I am actually four months OLDER??  Oh no.  Tell me it isn't true. 

Happy Fourth of July everyone.  Get out there this weekend and do a virtual race.

Ok. Virtual 5k done. AG 25-29 --> Time 40.29.

Happy 4th everyone.  I did a bike race this morning and got third place at the Davis, CA Cat 5 men's criterium.  This is the data from the race, surprised my heart didn't explode.

30m 24s 12.38 miles 24.43 Mi/hr	Min HR: 112 Avg HR: 184 Max HR: 203

oweiss- Wow! Awesome job on that bike race!

Ok. Virtual 10K done AG 50 -54-->1:08:47. I know that looks like a 1/2 Marathon time, but it is only 6.22 miles.

Ok did my 5k after a short ride this morning.

AG- 25-29
34:46

Yeah so I rode in the rain this morning and then decided I would run with no socks since mine were wet yeah that was a bad idea. It was still raining when I ran and I got 3 blisters on the inside of my foot next time I will just bring extra socks or wear the wet ones.   

So far you are winning the "Most Blisters" award.

Did my vitual 5k.  32mins on the treadmill.  M30-35 age group. 

damn, i completely missed the 5k, and i just started sipping a margarita, so it's not going to happen now... but i did do a 16 mile bike ride today (not fast, but very enjoyable) and a brief (if rather cold) dip in the ocean.

but, seriously... the holidays are hard on my eating habits (see above...), i guess i can just chalk up the french fries and the ice cream cones to the holiday weekend and get back to my fresh fruit and vegetables tomorrow. i'm just hoping that wednesday's weigh-in isn't a monutmental BLAH.

happy 4th everyone! 

I'm doing my 5K tomorrow morning (was down the shore all day), you have until tomorrow night to report your time so just get running when you can. 

Absolutely.  Get your race in tomorrow.  We don't accept "oops I completely missed it." 

10K  W 50-54  1:14:27  - yeah, slower than Saling, but I just remembered that I have a hilly half marathon coming up and it occurred to me that I ought to get out there and start running some hills.  So, it was a hilly route.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

virtual 5k this saturday 22.16 AG - 25-29

I am trying. I normally use Fitday, but just for you I am going into Spark Ville.

OK, should I give you my time first, or my excuses?

5k W/35-39 34:18 

OK, now for the excuses....

1) It was already over 80 degrees and humid.
2) My neighborhood is VERY hilly.
3) Hot Naked Running Man (a neighborhood god) was out running and he started chatting with me at around 1.5 miles - I wasn't going to not talk to him despite the fact that it wasted a lot of oxygen.
4) The Cheerios I ate before the run were not sitting well in the heat.
5) I forgot to put my bottle of water at the bottom of my steps for when I ran by and my mouth way so dry during the last mile that my mouth was sticking closed.

I'm sure I can think of more if I tried.

Actually I'm pretty happy about my time, it is much better than the last time I timed myself.

If no other women ages 35-39 run today I may even win.

ok, well i did the 5k today!

31:35
AG 30-34 F

the run itself was horrible! i left the house at least 2 hours too late, it was already hovering around 30C when I left and it got to 32C by the time I was done. i thought i had allowed for the heat by drinking about 4-5 pints of water this morning before setting out to make sure i was well hydrated, but no...

anyway, i'm not too disappointed by my time, but it should've been a lot easier! (or at least, i would usually do a 5k in under 30 mins...)

OW swim this afternoon should help me cool off.  

... and i just realised i ran too far. my heat addled brain was convinced that 5k = 3.2 miles.
oh well, i guess i just did a 5.15k instead.  

Ok- ran the 5K yesterday and also made the mistake in thinking it was 3.2 miles. So I ran a little extra too. Didn't realize this mistake until I read the thread. Oh, well.

Age group 30-34
Time: 31.32

I was hoping to break 30 mins, getting close, maybe next time

Great job Jackie, you are getting really close!

I chose the century race option yesterday. Not sure how many were in my 30-34 ag but I think I finished either first or dead last.
