Team MOSCATEERS! (Page 3)

Happy Saturday!

Tomorrow is SUNDAY, the day when you report your achievements for the beginning of November! While posting your “progress report” on your team thread, feel free to brag about how great your workouts have been! This challenge is about achieving your goals -- so let's hear how you've done!

And now, here’s a quick update on what all our teams have been up to….

The Moscateers – Team1
The youngsters are showing up their parents! Comet_the_dog ran with his daughter, Dani – and lost. Congratulations to Dani, who did a 5k in just over 38 minutes! And 1for1’s daughter, Gidgetintraining, is already at 41% of her running goal and 50% of her workout goal! Go kids!

The Vigilantes – Team2
This team has a lot of “firsts” planned for this weekend! ScotinSeattle and Medusa_Ann are doing a 10k trail run this weekend! It’s their first 10k. And Fielding will be doing her very first race this weekend! Unfortunately, they had to cancel the swim portion, due to an oil spill. Good luck everyone! You’ll do great!

Turkey Terrors – Team3
Running is the topic of the day for this team. Some of it is even being done barefoot! Gygyhawk had a fantastic response to her trainer’s comment that her metabolism was low. But you’ll have to stop by this team’s thread to read it!

5 For Fighting – Team5
After training hard, this team likes to kick back with a glass of wine. Or beer. Or maybe even both…. To make sure there is no confusion as to which beverage is preferred, this team posts pics of their favorite post-workout cocktail. Someday, they hope to start a wine mail-order business.

They Who Shall Not Be Named (Twisnibbins) – Team6
This group posts so much that their team leader, LastCall2003 (Beth) must now post daily updates to summarize the discussion! Believe it or not, this group actually discussed running AND swimming this week! (Who knows, maybe cycling is next?) HCS5QA (Hector) will be running his first Half Marathon on Sunday! Run, Hector, run! To help inspire Hector, team leader Beth will be waving her pom poms!

Wild Hippos – Team7
Several members of the Hippos have been benched due to illness. Owl_girl wants to know if puking time counts as “ab work.” (We now know more about her illness than we really wanted to!) Team Leader Cat received a penalty flag for inappropriate language, and had to state three positive things about herself. Is Lyssa-gator slacking off? We’ll find out soon, depending upon whether she accepts Baowolf’s challenge of doing a 34 mile bike ride with him.

Hard Core Tri Corps – Team8
Zipp1 ran an awesome 8k race today. ACGRAY22 joined the team, becoming the 102nd person in the challenge. TriAya (Yanti) told us about her progress to date – including details of her 100+ pound weight loss, and posting some absolutely incredible pics of her HOT TRI BODY! If you want to be inspired, you need to stop by this team’s thread and see Yanti’s transformation into a “tri hottie”! Amazing!

From BT News Headquarters, this has been your weekly Challenge update.

2700 meters out of 6000 for swimming

(unofficial goal: we still have halloween candy left, i didn't scarf down the bowl, and i mean like good candy left not just the yucky kind you wouldn't eat anyway)

Edited by mosc11 2007-11-10 8:26 PM

MOSC11:  You can send it to me.  My customers have been giving bags of candy that they didn't give away.  It sucks:  Baby Ruth,  butterfingers,  Reeses Peanut Butter cups and all the candy at my house was just about gone.

Thanks for the numbers, everyone...and no rush - I just have to turn the spreadsheet in tomorrow.

If happen to forget (or don't have time) to post your results here Sunday, I'll hunt them down in your logs as best I can (although some of you have goals that don't easily translate from your log data - like eating oatmeal (thanks for posting Mary) or watching Heroes!).

Judging from the folks that have posted, it looks like we're all on the right track - about 20-40% done with many of our goals. Keep up the good work & remember, its a long month.

Kristen

OK, ladies & gents - here's the spreadsheet so far.  I know 1for1 is trying to get a long run in so I haven't filled in his yet.  I'm going to shoot this up to Dee tomorrow a.m. so let me know if something is way off...

And hey, now I know why some of you aren't posting up your progress.... gotta get moving - the month is a third over.

If any one is wondering,  we should be at about 37% done at this time of the month.

True.... But don't forget about Thanksgiving. Some of us are facing gym closings, travel time, family get-togethers, etc.

I completed my 1/2 Mary on Sat. in 1:54:16 and am moving a little bit slower than normal at this time, but I don't think it will have any impact on my watching the 2nd Heroes episode for this month tomorrow night.  As for my swimming, well I need some good ol' Moscateers' inspiration and maybe have the sisters line up and boot me in the butt.

Go TEAM!!

Now what do family get together's have to do with training?  That is why they made 330 am for....geeeesh!!  Do I have to think of everything?

Yeah, well - the 18.94 miles still puts you ahead for the month - so go ahead & party!

Thanks for the info.

Kristen

Here's the week 1 Spreadsheet (attached because I have to get going this morning & don't want to mess with a chart in the thread).

If I messed something up huge, let me know...if I messed something up little, it will probably shake out in the next week's numbers.

Well, my pool generally isn't open then. Besides, if i log off BT at 2 AM, and have to work out at 3:30 AM... well, it's just not gonna happen, I think! LOL

So Dee,  Log off at 330 and then all is well....LOL.
