Running with Scissors (Page 35)

LOL!! that was hilarious!!!

LOL--bet that works out well.
ALMOST every year, dh gets all ready for our anniversary, on the 7th. i have no idea why he gets that wrong almost every year. oh well. better early than late i guess.

beware the ides of march!! LOL

I looked at my plan from my coach and already saw 20 more miles of running for the month. She is increasing my volume right now (as long as I'm not in pain) to get me ready for my 10K. Then she will be dropping me back down to more "appropriate" base building. I figure the 20 mile increase would be "safe" in case I do start experiencing any pain.

Congratulations to RUNNING WITH SCISSORS! They are the current leaders in the Feb Challenge!

Remember, your training needs to be reported on your BT Training log and on the spreadsheet! Team captains - please help your team members log their training correctly.

February is now 59% completed. So there's still plenty of time for you to SWIM, BIKE and RUN!

WOW!!! we're in FIRST place?? AWESOME!!!
just got back from my run, going to go log it, then i'm off to the 'rents house, where my dad is making his famous tacos! i am going to eat many many tacos. i'm going to regret it in a BIG way tomorrow, but today i don't care. his tacos are my all time favorite food, and he only makes them like every 2 or 3 years!!
tomorrow when i'm miserable from all the grease that my body is unaccustomed to, i'll be on here whining. LOL

Good job, team!!  Let's keep this up and stay in first place this week.

FANTASTIC JOB SCISSORS!!!!!!  I've never been on a 1st place team before -- how exciting

Great job everyone! The margin between first and last is pretty slim, so we've got to keep running...with scissors!

I did a 6.2 mile run today.  For the first time all month, I'm on track with where I should be.  Yeah!! 

Yay! We're number 1! Go, Scissors, go scissors!!!

February Challenge Update

For the challenge updates, I usually tell you what the teams are discussing. (This is also known as "The World According to Dee," and it may, or may not, bear any resemblance to what YOU thought your team was talking about. LOL) But when I was looking at the spreadsheets today, I was really impressed by some of the distances and times that some people have logged so far. So today, I'm going to start by giving you some updates on specific people and their progress.

SOME OF THE AMAZING DISTANCES LOGGED TO DATE:

Swimming:
- Devouahy - 67250 meters

Biking:
- TheBear - 144 miles
- Mesteren - 231.8 km (144 miles)

Running:
- Waterdog66 - 168 miles
- Daremo - 145.8 miles

And CONGRATULATIONS to:
- Skarl, who raced in a Duathlon and won her AG!
- Out4atime, who finished her "first race ever," set a PR doing it, and finished in the top quarter both in overall and age group.


And now, the moment you've all been waiting for (or not) --> The Team Updates!

Team Swimming Rocks
Milaminute continues to wave her glitter pink whip at her team. The overall lead slipped away from the team this week, so Mila has advised her teammates to swim anyway they can - including in their bathtubs! (Watch those flip turn though!) Shoeless set a PR distance record. Tntexpres got a new wetsuit. And Betsy855 played with many moon jellyfish during her OWS.


Team We :heart: T.I.T.S.
Tupuppy has a new endurance activity - minivan shopping. Many team members, such as amschrod and MissKelly went out this weekend and got some B.A.L.L.S. (Yes, I bet the rest of you are wondering what that means. You'll just have to visit Team T.I.T.S. to find out.)


LEMmings - the reRun. Over the cliff again.
Many members of this team are dealing with the plague. Daremo and bhoover10001 have started their tapers. Charge4brendan ran the Tokyo Marathon today. (He hasn't checked in yet to give us the results though.)


Running with Scissors
Well, it's clear which team is winning the post count challenge this month. Already up to page 30, this team does plenty of running AND chatting. Skarl raced in a Duathlon and won her AG! Congratulations! She is also philosophizing about whether it's safer to run where there are mountain lions, or where there are people. (OK, so I simplified it a bit. You'll have to visit the team thread to find out the rest.) Lyssa-gator is planning on eating tacos until she pops. TinkerBeth (LastCall2003) is commuting via plane these days. A whole bunch of team members are celebrating anniversaries. GirlPassingOnLeft has gone to watch the AMGEN Tour of California today. And I'm sure there's more, but these guys just type soooo quickly.


Gingerbread Joggers
There have been some humorous pictures posted on this team thread. Zipp1 is highly motivated to win the challenge this month - she REALLY doesn't like the Patriots, and doesn't want to wear a Pats avatar next month. Ilucy2 has discovered the BT route tracker. Enders_Shadow has been traveling a lot. And Dcon is happy that he lives in a country that has some great sushi. And karbates was able to register for a tri event before it closed out.


Pitter Patter of Fast Feet aka PFFT
Kenj ended a post with "Oh, and enjoy your VD." We're hoping he was referring to Valentine's Day! The difference between Naked Running and Nude Running was discussed. AKTri said that it warmed up to 30 F, and declared it "almost naked running weather." Sparco refuses to run in shorts until the weather hits 40 F, and doesn't seem to like running naked. (Or nude, either.) Waterdog66 had a pukefest at the track, followed by a hearty dinner. Geauxtri's dog weighs 103 lbs. And Out4atime, who finished her "first race ever," set a PR doing it, and finished in the top quarter both in overall and age group. Congratulations!


From Challenge Central, this has been your Challenge Update.

Now get out there and swim/bike/run!

Other than totally blowing off your workout , don't feel too bad, I think she is racing a 20 miler next weekend.

Although I will admit some of the time goals make me feel bad about my "paltry" sub 10 hours. Than I realized, I have only exceeded 10 hours five times ever and never in February. Also, my monthly high ever is less than some of those goals I see out there.
