Hugs - February Challenge (Page 5)

pdbman - 2010-02-01 6:39 PM I really need to get myself going so I thought I would jump into this month's challenge to get myself going.  This is my first challenge.  I asked for a chatty group and it looks like this is definitely chatty. 5 pages and its the first day of the challenge!  
My name is Paul.  I'm married with one son that is graduating from high school this year. I am working toward my first tri and to get back into marathons.  My love this month is running and I need to rebuild my base.  My goal is to run two days a week at least 3 miles plus a long run of at least 5 miles each Saturday.  Total running sessions 12, total miles = 45.

quincyf - 2010-01-31 10:30 PM Duane, veeery tempting...I would do a race a weekend if I could get away with it...DH is probably working that weekend so I'd have to push the kids in the jogger...actually not a big deal to me but probably not allowed Q

Oops, oh dear, my non-gender specific name strikes again. I am the real girl in the picture. Please, please, please tell me you can tell there's a girl and a guy in my avatar....

Actually, it's ok if you can't, my Husband takes great pride in his cross-dressing/racing abilities.

OK. OK... I'll do it.  Peer pressure is a b*tch, isn't it?  I'm not sure if I can do the half Mary on 3/21... my wife reminded me that it's our daughter's birthday and I guess we're required to do some sort of party or something (who knew?).  There is a 10 mile run the following weekend, so maybe I'll do that. 

rnihill - 2010-01-31 6:54 PMAnyway, my name is Rhoda, age 35, with 2 kids (3 and 5), and work full time. I therefore tend to train at odd hours! I've been doing sprints for a couple years and did my first Oly last year. I finished but the run was not pretty. Admittedly, I was not as prepared for the run as I should have been. I'm still trying to decide what races to do this year... do I stick with sprints which I truly enjoy? Or do I try to redeem myself in the Oly?... Either way, I have time to decide and and am just trying to maintain some sort of base through the winter.

Yeah, good thing she's there and I'm here. ;)

rnihill - 2010-02-02 10:41 AM Working on my 5 post count a day minimum... Just trying to get caught up! I had just planned a short run for last night to see how my crampy calf was feeling. Got that done and it was ok, but then all night my foot was cramping! Ugh! This happens occasionally and I don't really know why, but for now I am just going to plod along. Also got 4 bonus miles on on the trainer so I could finish the epidode of 24. How did I get to the point that I'd rather fool around on the trainer rather than sit on my butt to watch tv? : )
