Dream Chaser's 'Set a Goal and Capture it!' Mentor Group - CLOSED (Page 51)

I'm thinking!!!....I'm thinking I am going to INDULGE in November and December (in moderation of course)!  We deserve it!! 

Have a great safe Halloween Weekend!! 

Yes, 2012.  I'm thinking about adding a 5 or 10K in for the end of the year this year, though.  Maybe a fun Christmas run to get me in the spirit.  

You beat your goal time by minutes!!! AWESOME!  Is this how you felt towards the end???  GREAT JOB!!

LOL....Thanks!  I felt AWESOME!!!...til about mile 21, then things changed real fast.  My left quad went real tight and my pace dropped dramatically.  SO GLAD I was able to qualify, made it ALL worth it!!

I wanted to wait til my last big race of the year was done before I revisited my goals.

On January 6, when I joined this group, my goals for 2011 included CDA Ironman, healing up my plantar fasciitis, to swim more efficiently and faster and have a good nutrition plan for IM.

This season went FAR beyond what I imagined it would.

Ironman CDA went GREAT!!  A day I will remember FOREVER!!!

I PR'ed my 5K

I PR'ed my Half Marathon

and finally I PR'ed my Marathon and qualified for Boston at the same time.

THANK YOU Bobby for volunteering your time to run this group and be our mentor!!

THANKS to Bobby & everyone in the group for the "inspires", inspiration, laughs, stories and being part of my BT family.  It was fun!

Cheers to accomplishing goals and creating new ones!

^^ x2

Took me a second to realize you doctored this photo!! LOL!!! 

Rene congrats on qualifying for Boston.  What an amazing achievment.  I'd love to see your mile splits, if you have them?  And where is the Race Report?!

Thank me for starting the group, and that is is.  It is the Group Members who have kept it going... and quite frankly, made this one of the most succesful Mentor Groups of 2011!!!

So I hereby award our group the 2011 MENTOR GROUP AWARD!!!

Like Rene, I am going to wait until after my last race, Philly to write my memoirs for 2011. 

I hope to see many, IF NOT ALL!, of you back in George and I's group next year.  We will allow a few more members into our group.  The name of the new group will be George & Dream Chaser's 'Set a Goal and Capture it' 2012 Mentor Group. 

Some people have mentioned to me, I should be setting to 'crush goals'; not capture them.  They say, I should be 'Dream Crusher" not 'Dream Chaser'.    But you know what, just setting a goal can be tough.  Then the journey to capture it follows.  If you crush that goal, fantastic.  That's a bonus.  But my down to earth approach is simply to achieve the goal, and then it allows me to move on to the next goal.  And sometimes it takes years and years to hit even the most modest, realistic goal; especially with the trials and tribulations that life throws at us. 

So, yeah, it's been a good year and this is an amazing group.  Next year will hopefully be even better.  I hope our friends who are injured will recover, cause I know how freaking crappy it feels to be injured and not be able to train, and chase your goal.  I am eager to read everyone's year-end thoughts, and see everyone's goals for next year,

Thanks Bobby!  I did GPS the race but my home computer crashed a week ago so I haven't been able to download the stats.  I hope to get a race report out soon.

Funny!  "George et al"

Bad times for us PSU alums...

VERY sad situation for PSU. So much collateral damage from the students to players and alum on top of the indescribable tragedy to the poor victims.

They took a step in the right direction yesterday with Paterno/Spanier but unfortunatley I think it's gonna get worse before it gets better. I do think they'll do right by the victims though. Paterno's lost what is most important to him; his legacy, and Sandusky will get the closest thing he can to justice while in prison.

But remember it's more than just a football program. It's an excellent academic institution in which you should take pride. You're walking(well maybe limping  ) evidence of the quality type of person that PSU produces; and I'm sure that is the overwhelming majority of graduates. They'll cull out anyone who was complicit in this and bring in better leadership moving forward. Sadly, one evil man and a few weak men had the power to cause this much suffering. More sadly, I doubt Penn State is the only place this has occurred, just ask the Vatican.

Bummer for the school, alums, community etc.  I have no mercy for Sandusky and Paterno....I am disgusted  Grand Jury Alleges

The PSU events are beyond disgusting.  Thye alleged crimes are repulsive, and what I find just as repulsive is that other people in the school chose to cover it up!?!  I think that's what, for me, makes it that much worse.  Had someone with a shred of human decency who knew what was going on simply done the simple RIGHT thing and reported it, it would still be sad and utterly tragic but at least we could focus on 'one sick man'.  Instead, it was covered up by many and that just makes a distrurbing crime, that much more offensive and disturbing.  I, personally, could not live with myself if I knew something like that was going on and chose to not report it. 

I hope Justice is harsh and swift.   

For those who want to track me on Sunday as race across 26.2 from the Rocky steps and back, I am Athlete# 888. 

Turn up the volume!!!

Awesome tunes!!  That gets me pumped up everytime!!

Go Bobby!!!!!!

Hope you have an AWESOME race!!!  DEEEEEESTROY that course!!!!
