Ran 3 miles yesterday.

Have to stop using my smiley face with my signature.  Must use this instead... bwa-ha-ha

Hey everyone -

I did a 1.5 mile run last night - it was all I could fit in since with yard work before storms today I ran out of a daylight. I will do another 2.0 or so tonight.  Good job to those that worked out yesterday. You guys are doing great.

To post in another teams message, just go back to the forum, click on the link to the team and post a message the same way you would post a reply here.

For bikes, I ride a Trek MTB right now, but hoping in the next year I can get a road bike. We will see what happens though. Right now the money is going to grad school instead of road bike.

I do have one question - would you guys like me to post the spreadsheet with updated runs each day or weekly? Do you guys have an opinion?

Thanks,

Stacie

Team Mates -

Find the attached spreadsheet. I have updated it with run totals and percentages of what has been completed on the challenge so far as of noon CST today. I will try to have this posted by noon each day but if I miss a day I apologize. Also - if you see a mistake I made please let me know.

 Thanks,
Stacie

daily seems like it would be a burden on you to do.  weekly would be fine for me.

I will change it - the spreadsheet was in the first post by the overal leader - I just edited it. I will change it so we are ready to move forward.

it isn't that bad. I will try to do it daily but I won't promise anything. I have a little trip to Vegas the middle of this month that might get in the way of daily posting.

Well I had an awesome walk today (yesterday was a planned off day which worked well since my new Ipod arrived, which came in handy today). Warning this is a tad long (I tend to ramble).

I have been walking at least for 30 minutes and speed walking up to 20 minutes of that in chunks of time up to 7 minutes at a time before today. I've had alot of problem with shin splint pain (ah, brings back memories of lacrosse practice in high school). I've been doing tons of stretching, but it's definitely been a problem and was what was limiting my blocks of speed walking (endurance-wise it was okay).

Anyway, today I got going and as I hit 5 minutes I only had a little pain in my left shin, so I decided to try to get to 10 minutes. When I hit that (after the steepest part of the walk), I still felt okay and I'd found a great song on my Ipod to pace myself to so I figured I'd just see how far I could go and keep repeating that song. Well, long story short, I managed all 20 minutes in one shot. It was a total of 1.25 miles (so that's a 16 min/mile pace...not going to break any land speed records, but not bad in my slow going book!).

And I felt darned good at the end. I was breathing hard enough to feel like I got a good aerobic workout but nothing I couldn't handle (certainly could have gone longer if needed). My shin never got beyond kinda painful (it was definitely worse last week after only 5 minutes). So, maybe my legs are starting to get used to the exertion.

Anyway, I got my 1.91 (yes, that hundredth of a mile is important!) miles in as planned and at almost a minute/mile faster pace over all compared to last week.

Tomorrow is only a 15 minute block since I'm also doing lower body strength training, but same distance.

And great job so far everyone. Remember, this is about percentage completed. Don't let the crazy folks and their 100s of miles concern you. Just do your workouts and push yourself as much as you can.

Hey, I'm ok with Spokes and the others sneaking onto our Team Thread and posting smack talk.  It just means that they're here, playing around.... and therefore, they are NOT WORKING OUT!  In fact, I think they should spend 24/7 here, posting trash talk -- and give up working out altogether! 

Weekly works for me. Besides, you need to spend your time working out, not updating spreadsheets. LOL

BTW, I'm not working late tonight. Can you tell? I've posted like 200 messages in 15 minutes. And yet, surprisingly enough, I've really had nothing to say. LOL

Yes, I DO plan on hitting the treadmill tonight.

(Unfortunately, I will be working late again tomorrow though....)
