The Bad Omens Team Thread (Page 5)

Hey, Bad Omens team!!!

Looks like folks are putting up some good numbers...congrats!!!  I made 10.2 of my 30 for the first week of October.  This coming week will be a little light with recovering and resting up for my bike ride next weekend, but I'll have my 30 done by Halloween, no worries!

Go be scary (scary fast, that is)!

Cat, great news from the doc.  Hope the knee and the elliptical are treating you right...

Well, I'm behind (and NO, I don't want anyone to SEE my behind in spandex, so with that said)...I'll kick it up a notch this week.  I'm traveling to Cincinnati tomorrow and Wednesday, but there's always the treadmill in the hotel.  Taper on Thursday and Friday, and will get in the 13.1 miles on Saturday.  Wish us luck...

Have a great week all, and sorry for being AWOL...

I'll try to show up here more regular like, once the work schedule slows down a bit...

O.K., Monday afternoon confession:  I'm in a training funk...biking outside helps me get out of the funk (since I enjoy biking).  That's why I went and biked 21 miles on Saturday instead of running 7 when my wife felt a twinge in her knees.  O.K., now that that's out...

Quick brick today...7 miles on the trainer (there's that biking thing again) and then a quick 3.6 miles (OF RUNNING) on the treadmill...

Keep the ribbing coming guys.  To me, it's a MOTIVATOR!

Hope to get in an additional 21 miles this week which would put me at 28/40 miles (70% of goal)...

You'll get there... Im already missing the running adrenaline... you NEED to run to get that true post training HIGH  

I had a good week last week, and ended up even doing an unscheduled race on Sunday. That took me to 36 miles. Mondays are usually my interval days, but yesterday (monday the 8th) was better served as a recovery day. I have 7 planned for tonight. Intervals planned for tomorrow.. then a 20 miler on Saturday morning. If all goes as planned, I will have between 32 and 34 miles for this week. That puts me nicely ahead of schedule.

Great job everyone.. and Sparco, what kind of Bad Omen looses running motivation? Did the broken mirror change it's bad luck from 7 years to 5? NO! Did the ladder suddenly say.. "go ahead, walk under me.. you'll be fine"? NO! Are black cats suddenly good luck? NO!  ... and you are not losing motivation either.. GET OUT THERE AND RUN!!!

Run Run Run, it is Fun Fun Fun.. and when we are done done done, we'll have won won won.   Nothing less than winning is acceptable.

Heh.  I like it.  Out the door.  Have a plane to catch (running through the terminal counts towards my run miles right?...if so, maybe I'll plan on being late ).  Treadmill tomorrow...

Hi Team,

Ok Im TORN... I really dont want t show my legs in my avatar all month... and I REALLY dont want to loose....

Actually scratch that.... WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOOSE!!!!!!!

But... Tex - I want to see your legs!!!!

PS: this is based on the fact that right now legs are leading the poll for the loosing teams avatar.... if you havent voted go and cast one

Loose !! We cant loose, dont forget we have the mastermind on the team, Cat is the magician that can make everything happen

TexOma is BACK, well sort of.  I actually ran again today.  Only 3.7 miles and my daily quota is 4.03.  But at least I only fell behind by less than a mile today instead of 4 miles like the last few days.

My foot is doing better.  Not great yet, but much better. I'm currently only 12 miles behind schedule and 12 miles can be easily made up.  Heck, if I was really healthy, I could make that up in one day.  Thank heavens I was ahead of schedule when I hurt my foot!

So if I can keep going then SO CAN YOU!!  Get out there and keep running.  WE MUST WIN.  At a minimum we have to beat the teams that are made up of horses arses.  Think of the humiliation if we are beaten by a horses butt!

GO BO.  Run Lots, get sweaty, get BO so bad the other teams pass out from the smell.  Oh, and stay healthy!

Congrats on getting out there Tex... hope your foot makes a speedy recovery!!!

I have a 10k race tonight, and that will bring me right back on schedule

 

GO BO

Ran 5 this morning which dropped my backlog down by 1.  I hope to drop the backlog more this weekend.

GO BO

Still alive...back from a business trip with time for just business...no treadmill run...and now it's taper time...2 miles tomorrow and the half marathon on Saturday.

Be patient with me...after this weekend's half marathon, I'll be ahead of schedule--62% of my miles completed (25.2/40) with 42% of the month complete.

The hard part will be AFTER the half.  Plan is to run 21 more miles over the course of the last 2 weeks.  Harrassment from the team is encouraged and welcomed (don't want pics of my legs floating around on the internet...)...
