The Monster Mash Team Intro (Page 4)

Hey guys, that time of the week again.  I'm getting together our mileage for the week, so if you could send me a PM or leave a msg on my blog with your Oct. totals.  Thanks!

18.1 for me last week. Monthly total of 30.42, over half way to my goal!

Let's go Monsters!

Hey monsters!  I'm at 17.9 for the month, so somewhere around 7 for the week. 

Like naners, I'm not not quite halfway, but still pretty well on track with my training plan.  The next two weeks are gonna take a little extra discipline to meet my mileage, but that's why it's a challenge, right?  I'll get 40 by the end of the month, no question.

Nice work so far, everyone!

Great job this week everyone.  I just wanted to give you all a heads up and tell you that our team number is going to be low this weekend because I think we may have lost two members.  I haven't asked that they be removed from the team yet, because I'm going to give one more week to see if they come back online.  If I haven't heard anything from them soon I'll see what I can do about not counting their goals.  But everyone who has logged their miles has done very well, we're all right around that 45-46% mark, which is right on pace, and we have a couple who are over the 50% mark.  I'm actually bringing us down .  But like others, if I stick to my plan I'll be at %100 by the end.  Keep it up mashers!

Sorry I'm late! 30.2 miles last week for me. Only 46 miles left out of my 90 goal.

I need to come to this thread more!

Very.  We were tied with another team (creepy crawlies, maybe?) for last, but I think this one puts us one up on them.  Go team!

Important post count aside, I find team chatter helps motivate me to get out there and run. Reading about people meeting their goals and/or struggling to me their goals is inspiring.  You know? 

As for me, I've got 4 miles to do this afternoon.  I'm still stiff from Sunday's run.  So, this should help stretch me out. 

5.6 more for me this morning! I agree with runnerx. I do this stuff to feel "Alive". I"ve decided to "participate" in life instead of just watching it go by. They asked a guy at the Denver marathon this weekend why so many people would show up in the cold and rain to run, and that is exactly what he said. It makes you feel alive.

My legs are sore, I'm tired from not enough sleep, but I know I wouldn't have it any other way.

Let's Go Monsters! Have a great week and a better weekend!

Sounds like a plan to me.  I'll be sending positive vibes to you all as well.  Hope that you can feel them coming from the middle of the pacific! 

Hiya Mashers,

Just to let you know the update and standings after week 2 of the challenge is posted here http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=93980&posts=1#M1012888

Happy Running!

Cat

Way to go smilford and mtskibum for being over 50%!  Looks like most of us are pretty dang close the half-way mark.  Run monsters, run!!

Yeah, I've got some catching up to do, but I'll be at 100% at the end, promise!

Quick update:  I'm traveling to Tampa this weekend, and although I fully expect to have an internet connection, there is a .01% chance that I won't.  SO.  If you don't hear from me this weekend or I'm not logging miles on my log, don't worry, I haven't abandoned.  I'll still need everyone to PM/Inspire/Post Here your total miles for the challange on Sunday, so I can get that to Cat when I get back.  THANKS!  Go Mashers!

Creepy Crawlies mash monsters into the dirt! (with our many tiny little feet!)

I got 4.3 in today. I'm starting to do heart rate monitor training and learning where my zones are. This is totally different than what I did for the last 9 months. Frustrating, but I got some miles in today.

Let's go Monsters! We got snow coming our way!
