Artemis - 2008-02-01 6:58 PM This is going to be a fun team. I can tell already.

Hi captain....are you feeling betta?

Not so much, but I'll survive.  It wouldn't be so bad if my chest didn't hurt so much.  That's the real problem right now.

If I have to alternate running and walking every minute, I'm still going to run some time this weekend.   

Don't over do it....we need our captain! feel better!

WOHOO!!! Hello.  I am on team 2!!!   Yay.  HIYA EVERYONE!   CRAZY SCOT HERE!

Only 10 miles for me this month as right now I'm SICK!   STILL! After 3 bloody weeks! That might change though as I got put on Antibiotics today so I may be upping my goal!

No problem. I won't tell you how much of a pain in the butt that was. Nothing fancy with Glitter or anything (haven't learned how to do that) and haven't figured out how to have only one column on the top with the title and two below. Anyway... Your welcome.

Stacie

Heh...I'm working on that right now.  For some reason, my html is causing issues. 

Hey Lynne...what is up with all the sick flying fishies...?  hopin ya get better soon...3 weeks is a long time to be down! LOVE SEATTLE! We used to go to Kirkview for a frisbee tournament. Our team party was at the Red Hook Brewery ahd they would fly in all kinds of salmon to barbecue....Lake Union is awesome too!

Feel better! hope the Antibiotics kick in!

Julie...your southern pacific coast neighbor

Hi Julie!!!  I was married in Kirkland!!  Love the waterfront there.

I hope I get better too because this is downright rediculous!!!  My boss is a Dr and didn't realize I had no health insurance so she kindly stepped up and help me out. She also sent me home today at 2pm!!!!  I don't normally finish till 6.  So I've had a nice long nap and I'm currently inhaling slice of toast number 5.   Mmm  Nom.  Nice to meet you.   

HELLO AGAIN!!  Yes we SHOULD!!!!   What races are you doing this year!!???   there's a few of us doing some in the summer time, you should join us!! The more BT'ers the merrier!  Let me know when you're town again (When I'm feeling better) and we could run together or something?  

yeah likewise....sounds like you have one heck of a boss...shes a keeper!

Hey everyone!  Looks like I've been assigned to team 2.   I'm Cheri, and I plan to run for 15 hours this month.  Right now I'm training for a HM in early March, but I'm also getting over a very disappointing January.  I was out of town for most of the month, and was limited to running on hotel fitness room treadmills -- UGH!  So this past week I've been back on the road, trying to get "it" back.

So how did I get here?  I certainly wasn't a runner in high school, but in my mid-20s I started running a little for fitness.  This went on for 20 years or so, then a few years ago I really caught the bug hard.  I ran a 10K race, and in my race packet was a training schedule for running a HM.  I decided to give it a try, but found that my knees were protesting the distances.  A friend suggested biking too, so I started doing that.  Then another friend suggested triathlons, so I agreed to that too (I am an agreeable person ).  But then I fell during a training run and broke my collarbone, and there were complications.  So swimming was a challenge... Anyway, last year I turned 50 and decided that was the year to do all of the things I always said I would do.  So I did my first two sprint tris, despite still having some issues with my collarbone.  I plan to get the plate removed after the HM in March, so then I'll be able to swim easier and train for an Oly distance tri (I originally planned for one in April, but I think fall is more reasonable).

Wow, that was rambling -- sorry!  I do like running with scissors for a team name, but can live with whatever everyone chooses.

skarl - 2008-02-02 9:34 AM Hey Dee -- you're making me dizzy w/ all these avatar changes! Are you trying to be sneaky popping in and out w/ different avatars? It's working

You've heard of "soup du jour?" Well, I have the "avatar du jour!" It changes, um.... pretty frequently. LOL Speaking of which, I see you've replaced your monkey-tar! Looks like a very nice mountain lake scene! Very calming! Where is it?

Taylor Reservoir near Cottonwood Pass in CO, about an hour from Crested Butte.  We went camping in the off season so there weren't many people around.  There's a funky little "town" called Tin Cup near there, not much else.

Thanks for organizing the challenges Dee -- we really appreciate all your work, and wit! 

Sledge - 2008-02-02 8:56 AM Hey Susan -- you did great last month yourself! We'll definitely meet the challenge this time, right?

Absolutely!!!  Um, how long do we have before we can't lower our goals?

i think lowering the goals usually needs to happen within the first week - you can raise your goal up until the last week

Then I better check my math quick!  I wore myself out last month trying to hit my goal.  And with 2 races and an LT test coming up this month.....

How do I change my goal?
