8.25 hilly miles last night. 22% of the way to my goal.


Mostly everyone has posted their results so far and it's looking good. A few haven't. Let's make sure by Saturday night everyone has it updated.

Btw, the month is 5/29th or 17.2% done. That should give you an idea of where your mileage should be.

Another 6.2 for me this month. Long run tomorrow. Looks like I will definately have to up my goal for the month. Already 50% to my goal.

Midweek Challenge Update!

Greetings February Challenge Participants!

Have you been wondering what's happening on all the teams? Here's a quick update!

Team Swimming Rocks - Co-Captains: kns57, Milaminute and Devouahy
The three team captains are currently fighting over possession of their beloved Little Pink Whip. The winner might end up being Devouahy, as he can hold his breath for 6 min 18 seconds – without turning blue! Unfortunately, Captain Kendra has bronchitis and needs to withdraw from the challenge – however she is now the Official Team Cheerleader! (Can you hear her in the background? She’s yelling, “Go team! Swim like rocks!” – Er, or something like that.)

Team We :heart: T.I.T.S. - Co-Captains: tnickerson and Tupuppy
Well, I’ll give you one guess as to what this team is discussing. Yep, it’s "All T.I.T.S. – All the time." We’ve got T.I.T.S. that are pink and red, and even some with GLITTER. And some people, well, they have more T.I.T.S. than others. And… well, enough of that. I’m sure you get the idea.

Pitter Patter of Fast Feet... aka PFFT - Captain: 1for1
Naked runs! Yep, that’s the topic on this team. After Waterdog66 told the team about his naked run, the team was quick to contemplate how they could do this too! Stop by to find out which members of this team do naked runs, which members live near nudist colonies, and which members really want to do naked runs but feel it’s just a tad too cold outside.

LEMmings- the reRUN. Once again over the cliff. - Captain: RunnerX
Next stop - Team LEMons. Er, I meant "Lemmings." (I don’t think they appreciate my loving nickname for them.) Many members of this team seem to be plagued by the plague. Others are dealing with “the drippy sinus thing.” Despite this, they’re still racking up some impressive mileage. And they finally chose their team name - if only to avoid having me select it for them!

Gingerbread Joggers - Captain: Enders_Shadow
Puberty, temper tantrums and the “teenage years.” This group is discussing the hormonal swings that make for parents’ nightmares. Team Captain Kristen said “Groovy.” (When was the last time you heard that word?) Pam (crea0029) will be doing an indoor tri this weekend – Good luck, Pam!

Running With Scissors - Captain: Artemis
With over 400 posts already, this team looks to be a clear winner in this month’s Post Count Challenge. (What? You didn’t know there’s a Posting Challenge? Well, now you do. Get posting! LOL) Julie (Girl Passing On Left) has been displaying her creativity with some great pictures! She’s also been named the team’s Official Highlights Poster! Steve (reno8) has learned how to put a GLITTERY team table on his training log. And Lynne’s (Scotinseattle) snake ate a mouse, while her bird bit her – um, please refer to the Team T.I.T.S. discussion!

Hope you enjoyed this midweek challenge update! If you weren’t mentioned in the update – well, you must not have been posting enough! Try harder for next week! And in the meantime:

SWIM! BIKE! RUN!

Thanks for the update, Dee.

Note to self- don't eat garlic pasta with veggies, italian sausage and ice cream with peanut butter before the evening run. Something didn't agree and my HR was a little higher than typical. Still 'ran' a little faster but...

About the slow running- I'm trying a base building strategy of keeping all my runs for a period of time(at least a month) below my AeT. BryanCD posted about his success with a similar plan on the Triathlon Talk forum but I was already planning on this/doing it before I saw his post. I'm still slow but my average speed for the runs have increased about 0.5 mph keeping the HR below AeT so I'm a believer so far.

Nice job, keep it up. My mileage is just getting ready to get cranked up. Hope the weather warms up.

Man, how are you putting in these miles with a cold. I've been trying to get over mine all week and I just don't have any energy.

It's called "HTFU" ......

Another 10 for me today. Legs aren't feeling too bad for as much work as I have put in this week. Looking forward to next week.

I need to update the spredsheet and I will - been a tough week for me-  I'm up tp 20.64 running miles - I am only going to use my elliptical miles if I have to to make my goal.

Another 8.2 general aerobic run this evening.  Brings me up to 74.5 for the month.  6 recovery tomorrow and last 20 of the marathon training on Sunday.

8.56 for me today. Finally some decent weather. Probably a little shorter run tomorrow and a rest on Sunday.

4.0 on Elliptical. Legs a little sore from the last week or workouts. Feels good to know I did something this week. Looking forward to upping my runs a little next week. An early May marathon isn't that far away.

Please remember that this month, the Challenge "reporting week" will end on Saturdays.

Please update your Google Spreadsheet with your progress by Saturday night (your local time). I'll post the team standings on Sunday.

If you have trouble using the spreadsheet, please let your team captain know so that he/she can help.

Have a great weekend! And don't forget to SWIM, BIKE, RUN!

Dee

6 mile recovery this morning.  80.5 total so far going into the spreadsheet.  Good work everyone.
