Okras Team Thread (Sept Run Challenge) (Page 6)

Today's run put me at 48.1 miles for the month compared to my goal of 45.  (I expected about 48, and got lucky with no business trip this past weekend which I was factoring into my goal. ) 

Interesting thing...I expected to run 8 hours (and about 48 miles) and I'm only at 7:31, so I've still got 29 minutes towards my goal.  Don't worry, I'll exceed that too. 

Today's 10+ miles puts me at 205.45 for the month. I've exceeded my goal.

Keep on running and we'll all make it. Go Okras!

3.7 for the Okra's tonight!

I have 9.5 to go for my goal.

No probleeeemooo!!

Good job everyone.  Go Okras!

Listen to your body.  It's far more important to take care of an injury than to screw anything up for the future.

Hi Everyone!

We are at the end of week 4.  Here's the plan for wrapping up the challenge.

1) We will report numbers this weekend the same way we have so far.  Get your numbers logged by Saturday and Team captains will send me results on Sunday.

2) Standings will be posted Monday morning by noon.

3) SUN - TUE will be the last days of our challenge.  Get your numbers posted for those days by Tuesday night.

4) Team captains will send me the results from Sun to Tue on Wednesday.

5) I'll report the final challenge results on Thursday.

Let me know if you have questions. 

Good luck to everyone!!

63.13 miles for the week. 239.57 total. My goal was 200, so I'm over. Good luck to the rest of you.

Today I did the last of my races for the month, an XC style 10K. Took 3rd in AG. In the month of September I did a half marathon, 1 10K, 2 5Ks, 1 2 miler, and 1 sprint duathlon - 6 races, I placed in AG in 4 of them. I raced a total of 33.5 running miles for the month which is reflected in the above total. I'll probably get in another 20-30 miles by the end of the month.

Go Okras!

Hey Allison,

how did the race go today?

Week 4 Results

* NADS RULE once again!

* Tomorrow is the last day!!  Come on everyone, get as many miles toward your goal as you can!!

(What am I saying!  I have a few more myself - which I will get done - I won't let you down Okras!)

* Remember that 100% is the highest you can go - unless there is a tie for 1st; then we'll look at additional miles run over the goal.

* Remember, log your miles by tomorrow night (Tuesday), Captains will report on Wed, and I'll post final results on Thursday.

* Please look over the spreadsheet for mistakes or omissions.  Thanks!!!

* BTW - there are some running ANIMALS in this challenge.  I'm impressed.

Sigh...

I had a very early morning breakfast appointment.

Therefore I will be finishing up my entire amount of my goal in one run tonight.

But I will do it!!

I did 28.10 miles the last few days to finish the month with 267.67 miles. My goal was 200 so I was well over.

It appears that more than half the team made their goal, one was doing great until he went on injured reserve, one can still possibly make his goal, and one was perhaps a bit ambitious with the goal. Still we gave it a decent effort. WTG Okras!

I think I ran enough miles over my goal so that if we could allocate them to the people who didn't/couldn't make their goal, we would make the overall team mileage goal. It probably doesn't work that way, but if it goes to a tie breaker maybe we still have a chance.

BTW, in each of the past two months I've substantially increased my mileage from the previous month. No problems at all. That limitation of only increasing by 10% doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule.

My legs were burning this morning.  It was a "run/walk" which all of mine have been since my injury. 

BUT, I ran more of this one than I have any of the others.

AND, my hip feels good today!! I'm very pumped about that.  Maybe I can actually start pushing it a little bit.

Good job Okras!!

I'm still tabulating - waiting for 3 teams to get me results!
