The Bad Omens Team Thread (Page 4)

Cat-

 Thanks for the update....too bad all the BTers wont be able to see an avatar of those awesome legs since Team BO is going to win this challenge.  Hope the knee doesn't cause too much pain.....

Good job to everyone on keeping pace...I am actually a tad bit over and have run for three days straight...quite an accomplishment for me considering I havent been running consistently for months.

GO TEAM BO!!!! 

 I love a curvey womenly figure!  Fingers crossed.  Sure you'll be fine for the race!!

Hey guys--sorry for the late add but I was slow finding the challenge. I'm trying to start off with a bang....65 miles for my goal and almost 16 since Monday.  I'm wrapping up my first full season with 5 sprints, 2 Olympics, a duathlon, and my first half-mary under my belt this year.  It looks like I'll be doing one more Olympic as I think I'm going to qualify for our Championship Invitational event.  I've also got half-mary's coming up on 11/3 and 12/1.  I'm a Clydesdale so my miles aren't fast....but they do add up....eventually.

 By the way...I'm Eric

Thanks for all the well wishes... will hopefully know whether I can continue with the challenge after Monday... or maybe I can switch to Elliptical... you never know! I dont think anyone will object....

I found the positive... for someone who has ALWAYS considered myself a non-runner... I guess my injury means I am one now Cool huh? 

hey there Omens.. I am at 14.9 or so, but with 18 big ones planned for tonight (yes, tonight.. friday.. after work.. ugh!) I should be well ahead of my goal for the week and over goal target for the month. My weeks start on Mondays and End on Sundays. I also have a Sprint Tri on Sunday.. so, if all goes as planned, 14.9 + 18 + 3.1 = 36 miles for the week. 36 * 4 = 144.. plus an additional 3 days and I should be good. Of course, things happen, so hopefully there is enough cushion in there to keep me above 120.

Keep on placing bad omens for the other teams to see.. I assume some of you saw that I visited each and every team leaving them a two for one omen.. a broken mirror with a black cat in it!  Woo Hoo. 

Keep on Keeping on, and keep running. Run Run Run.. and Run some more.. Ice if you need to, then run again...   and again.

Got my 18 mile long run in last night Omens.. was far from my best, but did it none the less. I'm praying for some cooler weather soon. Hope everyone else is doing well..

we run all day and we run all night... or at least some of us run all night.

It finally has stopped raining, so I went out for my first long run in……a long time. Legs held out ok until 1h then they started complaining a bit, I just ignored them and went on. So now I have almost gained back what I lost earlier in the week

GO TEAM 

TEAM B.O. ROCKS!!!!

Have A Great Weekend Everyone!  Keep Running! 

Just wanted to let the team know there have been a bit of confusion about anyone that joined the challenge late. Mileage for any late entrants will be counted from the beginning of October so goals should be set taking this into account!

Thanks

If you don't understand ask Catherine. Wipe those tears away, Girlie. We used "FROGS" legs in our spells.

This is the real power of The Black Magic team !

And to make it worse, we made his foot go out of bounds.

And Catherine's knee problems. Put a spell on that too.

Says a lot about you and your team that you're so worried that you can't win under your own power that you have to resort to casting a spell.  Your "Black Magic" team must be pretty sad.  So sorry, but we still have a ROCKIN' team!   Cast all the spells you want.  We gonna kick your butt!

Have a nice day.

kaqphin - 2007-10-07 7:21 AM Hey team... just off to bed but I see the physio in 12 hours so Im going to ask about using the elliptical... so will report in with whats happening then!!! Have a great rest of the weekend

Good luck Cat!  We're all pulling for you.  Hope your physio is of the male persuasion and you can use a little womanly charm on him to get your way. hehehe.  He won't know what hit him!  

Thanks! I just got in from the physio and so far so good... Ive got a LONG road BUT as long as it doesnt aggravate my knee Im allowed on the elliptical so... Im still in!!! Although my goal looks way too optimistic right now... eek!

I also HAVE TO do all my PT stuff... stretches EVERY day and the strength every other day, so lets just hope that the elliptical doesnt aggravate the knee 

Will put full write up in my log soon but wanted to say thanks for the well wishes and Im still in the challenge for now!!!!

Hey Cat....glad you are still in....don't worry about your goal, that is what we as Team BO are here for...to pick up any shortfall.  Do what you can and we got your back. 

Hey everyone-

Coming up on midnight but wanted to let you all know that I got my Sunday run in before it was Monday.  Right on track with my running plan.

Everyone have a great week and keep running or elipicaling (sp?).....

Jim 

Did my first elliptical session....50 minutes and I seem to be ok... see how I wake up in the morning but its all looking good

Go Bad Omens... we can overcome anything!!!! 

Great job staying tough Cat....I've been a little slack this weekend but am going to extend my runs this week to make up for it.  Two nights of almost no sleep last week caught up to me and I missed runs on Fri/Sat.  Feeling well-rested and ready to go now though!
