Woo-hoo!  Way to go on your race.  Now buddy, go very LIGHT for your recover but don't just sit there!   You'll seize up and start walking like a crab.    We are confident that you will start mashing out the mileage next week.

Hey hey hey i have good news too!  My long run this morning was about TWO MINUTES PER MILE faster than my other recent long runs - that slower pace was worrying me, it was so weird.  And yes I made my whole 9 miles, and I ain't dead yet!   

Eww.  My sports bra is so wet I can ALMOST wring it out.  It's wetter than it is after the spin cycle in the laundry, for sure.  Nasty!

But I earned my nasty sweaty sports bra, oh yeahhhhhhh.....    

GO TEAM! 

Celeste- nice--way to push out those 9 and faster too!
Donto- Congrats on a great race as well and glad the foot isn't hurting much!
I appreciate all the encouragement and well wishes--new meaning to runner's high for me!
What does everyone have on tap for this week?
M: 8.3 (done)
T: bike/lift at gym:
W: Early morning Customs inspection of our stuff to go in the containers to ship home (one step closer to leaving!!)"
Th: Long Run day, 16 miles on plan
Fri: bike/lift at gym
Sat: Light Brick maybe
Sun: APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) 2 min Pushups/2 min situp/2 mile run)
This week got a little messed up with the Customs inspection and APFT.

NICE JOB EVERYBODY!

Brittany, awesome race and fingers crossed that the customs inspection goes well. Donto, glad you had a good race!  Beach is wicked down here.  Ken, cute about your little one.  Celest - you're going to rock your race.

My training is going to be sporadic based on weather and my training partners schedule.  We are looking at another 6.2 mile run tomorrow and I plan on at least 10 miles this week to keep myself on track. He's working Wednesday, so I might be able to squeeze a few more in that day.

Otherwise - my first product for TriPrincess comes in tomorrow, so I'm working at getting the web site up.    Fingers crossed, please! 

TriPrincess, intriguing!!!  Give us a heads-up when the site is ready.

Thanks for keeping track of us all Anna.

 The rest of my week looks like:  2 miles with Liz Wednesday night for sure, then a tempo run and one other short run, probably Friday & Saturday.  So that's maybe 7 more miles total this week.

Hey team--let me second the "thanks" to Anna for keeping track of all of us.
Sounds like many of you are doing well, I'll try to stop in and inspire some of the more quiet of the group. Oh, I hadn't said welcome to Jszat yet! Welcome welcome! 

Off day tomorrow for the customs thing--should be no issue at all...I snuck back everything I wanted to last time I was here, haha (j/k).  Hang in there all, 22 days of the month left to hit our goals! WE CAN DO IT! GO TEAM GO!
