E.V.I.L. Running Reapers - Halloween Run Challenge (Page 4)

Usually the off day wins when I have that kind of choice

EVIL is a really hard acronym to use.

I did come up with G.O.A.T.S.:  Goal Or A Taser Shock

It seemed appropriate. 

Hey team!  I'm a little behind but I just saw this thread.  I don't get much computer time at home on the weekends - my 15yo is usually on it either doing homework or talking to her friends (when we're not spending the day at one of her XC meets). 

Anyways, I'm Janet - not what you would call really chatty but I promise to check in as often as I can.  I'm looking forward to this challenge.  I just started doing tri's this year (did 2 sprints) although I've been a runner for almost 3 years - if you can call what I do running.  My focus for the next couple of months is running since I'm contemplating a half marathon in either early March or April - haven't decided which one I'm going to sign up for.  It will be my third one and my training always starts off well but then fades so I'll probably need some tasering, prodding, motivating from you guys to keep me on track.  I've also got some shorter running races scheduled for the next couple months so that should help too. 

Figured out my goal. 130 miles. My goal is still to run NYC, so if I want to do that then I'm going to have to do this. And I expect to run each of those miles so I'm going with miles instead of minutes like i said previously. Them legs better cooperate or else I'm returning them for a new pair.

My plan calls for 215km for next month, but my doc asked me to go easy a little bit since I had some overuse pain in the legs, so I decided to put 200km as my running goal. If I ever go for more than that I will adjust it

Robert - I followed the link to your blog - saw that you did Esprit Tri. I am considering it for next year. What did you think of the race? How was riding on the racetrack?

Walt

Geez, you guys are planning on running a lot!  I shall shoot for a measly 55-60 miles.  In fact, let's say....57.5 miles.  Right in the middle.  

I popped into team 3's thread to say hi and saw mention of food.  I'm hungry but don't feel like cooking dinner anytime soon.  What is everyone eating tonight?  We will end up having grilled pork chops and whatever else I whip up.

I loved it, very well organised lots of volunteers and a big event. Riding on the track is as close as perfection for a bike as you can get. The pavement is sooo smooth it's really cool and fast.

I will do it again next year for sure, maybe the HIM 

Oh that sounds like fun--I'd like to hitch a ride with you tonight!  Instead I have 90 minutes of spin class to teach.  Will be fun but not anything like tailgating.....

Taser him!

Oh wait. It's your kid. Maybe tasering isn't a good idea....

Nevermind then. :P

Hope he's in a better mood tonight. I thought he liked his new school?

Oh wow. I *really* like the way you think!

That's funny!

Wait... You think you'll only get tasered if you don't meet your goal????

That's not exactly what the usual plan is. Generally, I follow the motto "Taser Teamates Early And Often." Guess that comes out to TTEAO.

Neal is on Team 3. Of *course* they're talking about food. LOL

Right now, I'm eating handfuls of cereal. I don't think that qualifies as a balanced diet....

Aren't you both planning on doing the NYC marathon this year?

No, I figure we'll get tasered along the way.  It was harder to make a pronounceable acronym out of your real motto. 

I'm drinking a cafe con leche with sweetened condensed milk.  We went to a Cuban restaurant for dinner and I got it as dessert.  We also got a piece of Tres Leche cake, but apparently I have to share that with my husband, so I have to wait for a little while.

Hal Higdon himself!!  My 1/2 mary is Nov 8th so I'm starting to hit higher mileage!

Well you are young and fast.  My mileage for the month before my half last Feb was a lot lower.  Guess I was on the old and slow plan.  It was fun anyway! You will have a great race plus its in Hawaii- what could be better than that!!!

Hi team!! Just finished my spin class and my evening snack.  I will figure out my goal and get it on the sheet tomorrow.  Looks like we have lots of upcoming races.  Autumn is such a great season to run!

Of course, if people don't hit their goal, it's not just a taser tap they'll be getting. I'm going to come after them with a fully charged cattle prod.



Run, little ducklings, run.

LOL
