Gingerbread Joggers party & commiseration thread (Page 4)

Hi Beth!

How's adapting to the east coast going?

it's coming along

it was pretty weird to be the first one to say hi on Nibbs - LOL

LOL!

Hi everyone,  it looks like I'm not the only one who hasn't had time for BTing...I actually feel guilty for not being able to post.

I managed to mildly twist my ankle while out running...the roads are SUCH a mess this time of year...blech, but I'd rather be outside than on the treadmill....I think I've got it under control with Vitamin M (Motrin) and a support...it's not as touchy as it was.  Got a run planned for tomorrow, so hoping to up my mileage.  Gonna take it slow and careful.

Hope everyone is doing well, looks like we've been pretty quiet...maybe the weekend will change that!

HI everyone.....just checking in.  I had a great week and am at 40% of my goal  as of Saturday Japan time (numbers are already in the spreadsheet).   My primary objective for February was to start running again and do so without knee pain.   I'm slowly working running into my daily walks - now up to 700 strides.  This approach is working well so far and I'm interested to see if I can keep it going for the whole month.

The snow is coming down as I type so tomorrow morning should be fun.  I love walking/running in the fresh snow. Of course, it gets ugly after that, but life is full of tradeoffs.

Happy trails....

Dan

Saturday morning run done and logged....it was a tough one with the weather people saying 14 degrees when I got out of bed...it is however...DONE!

Next week will be a much better week for running...I hope

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Heya guys...well my toe is definitely good for running. Didn't even buddy tape it today and had no problems. Got another 2.86 (dang how I love my Garmin) in so I'm up to 5.37 miles, which according to the spreadsheet is 20% of my goal. Not bad seeing as that's after just 2 runs and I ended up skipping 2 runs in the last week thanks to time/stress/work and injury. I figured this morning as long as I average 2.5 miles I can meet my meager goal of 27 miles no problem.

Anyway, hope everyone else is doing well. I noticed a few 0's on the spreadsheet and I hope it's just the fact that people are so busy working out they haven't had a chance to update it.

Let's keep those frosted little legs a'movin folks Okay, more frosted for those of us with snow around (sadly not me) than for those of us without it.

HailRunr - 2008-02-09 1:47 PM some of us are on the WEST coast of the United States AND HATE mornings!!! I will be logging in at the end of the day... i.e. 9 or 10 pm PST. So don't worry I have run it is just a matter of how much I will run today. I am already at 6 miles and will hopefully do 1-2 more today. I have a bike training thing I am going to do and then run later tonight. It is pretty wet today and the only way for me to run is to get to the gym. Not possible until after the boys basketball games. I WILL log my miles, I WILL run my goal I WILL I WILL Kimberly

I'm on the EAST coast, but I'm not fond of mornings, either. Logging at the end of your day is fine. I'll be checking the spreadsheets Sunday morning EST.

you're not a morning person?  I never would have guessed

zipp1 - 2008-02-09 4:36 PM back from a wonderful 4 mile loop in the hood--wasn't feeling it but the pace was awesome   I'm checking the mileage on these sneakers--yep they'r around 250 time to break in another pair on the short runs so they'll be ready for the half mary

WTG Judi!!!

Guys, I'm afraid I'm going to withdraw from this challenge. I've been really ill and run-down and I think I'm putting too much pressure on myself to get better quickly.

You're a fab team and I'll be cheering for you all the way!
