C'ptain. Put me down for 10 Miles completed please. No more running this week. Did an extra two hard miles this morning when I shouldn't. Total rest day planned for tomorrow. Maybe a 30+ Min ride tomorrow to loosen legs up for Sunday's 55 Mile hilly riding event (last of the year for me).

Will get the (running) miles in for sure next week.

Keep it up Guys. Well done so far.

I did 1.5 mi last night, Woohoo!  it hurt this am though, foot/heel was sore getting out of bed even after doing the lots of sretching orb roll massage, IB and icing.  I found a good doc that's on my isurance plan so that's my next step for this PF.

BTW, what denotes a week; Sunday - Saturday, or Monday - Sunday (how I track 'em)?  This will make a diff as I have a 10k Sun as part of my Oly...

BAD OMENS were HERE to leave you a gift!

Bwahahahahahahahaha.

I'm personally taking credit for recruiting LARA into our group. 

In addition to helping us crush our running goals, I'm counting on her to use her rapier-like wit to cut the other teams with smack so that they don't even feel the blood.

My goals are 10 miles this week, 7.2 done as of this morning.  Great to see that everyone is getting such a great head start!

In the spirit of pic posting, here's my own boy, Pyewacket (named after the cat in Bell, Book and Candle) modeling a stuffed lobster.

Eh, you've probably already gone, but if not -- yes, run home from work.  You arrive all happy and energized, better ready to take care of those darling peeing people. 

And as for getoffthecouchandtri -- GREAT JOB!   I say the whole workout counts, 51 minutes towards your 330 minute goal.  Fantastic!  Buh-bye, couch! 

Hi Team,

Ive got another late entry for your team johnDeere who told me your team look good so where else would I put him! Hope you dont mind the late addition!

Morning morning team--most of y'all but Giantsrbest are probably still snoozing cause it's the middle of the night for you, but I'm up and at work! Welcome to the team JohnDeere!  I got in my last keep the legs loose run prior to my Sunday race--we ended up doing 8.34 miles (I love my Garmin--though may need to upgrade in the near future). So, I've got 33.54 done (101.46 left!!!).  I won't log Sunday's race till Monday as that is my one day off a week and I avoid coming to the HQs as much as possible!

Happy Friday to all--if you're racing this weekend, enjoy, race hard, have fun and we look forward to your miles from that! If your not racing, then enjoy the weekend and log some nice miles of walking and running throughout your weekend!

Predictions or goals--really not sure to be honest. I know I will beat my time from last year (87 minutes).  I think BEST case scenario (i.e. I feel great, weather is good, etc.) is 80 minutes, a GOOD race scenario still is 83/84, and I think slowest I'll be is 85 if I'm not feeling up to speed.  So, here is hoping for 80, but will be happy with 83/84!  Looking forward to it.

DeannaS, way to get and run anyhow--Giants had a great fast run too! Keep it up y'all!

Hi Eric, welcome aboard. Only reference that seems to apply is John Deere tractors. You'll have to expain that one.

Friday, that horrible day of the week when the boys come back from school & I have them for another two days. Schools are wonderful places, should open earlier & close later  & never have holidays  

Trainer arrived from Holland at lunchtime. Took me a couple of hours to put it together, as only at the end of the instructions did it say if you are using 700mm wheels then you will have to bolt on an adaptor. So it was take it apart & start all over again. Haven't given it a proper workout but seems robust enough. 

Looking for great things from you Texas. Bet you break the 80.

JohnDeere, welcome to BT and to the Black Magic Team!  Enjoy your runs. 

Looked it up. Very good, I like that -  "NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE" - excellent!
