(don't want pics of my legs floating around on the internet...)...



Aw, c'mon Sparco...we've seen you in a wetsuit...we've seen you running...why not show us the legs!

Wait, wait. I'm on your team and I don't want to lose since my backsides been on the board twice in the last 6 months. I guess I don't have much dignity left...but in any case, let's go Team BO! Run to win (not to avoid indignity)!!!

I think I might be jinxed.... Got to the gym to do the elliptical time this morning (oh joy) and I packed to shirts and no running tights SO... since Im on public transport and going an hour home just to get them isnt an option Im going to try and pick up a cheap pair at lunch to make up time.... then Im DONE for the week!

On the knee... doesnt look like Im gonna be running in the next week or so BUT it was a positive report at the physio... knee stability has improved heaps and we are ruamping up the PT next week

Which means my 'runs' will be the elliptical for a little while longer...

Best of luck Sparco for your race this weekend!!! And Happy Running

HI

I just finished my 10k, I did 39:26 it is not a PB BUT it is a course record for me by almost 2 minutes It is a very hard course so I am very very happy about the result

It was raining, it was windy and it was very dark (no street light for 7k), but it was quite warm +9°C so not too bad, but once winter hit this could get brutal. We race the same course once every month over the winter, and it can get interesting as they NEVER cancel a race, no matter how much snow and ice there are ! They just tell you to be careful

Hey all!  Just wanted to check in to let everyone know I have a huge work deadline coming up Monday and there is no way I'm going to be able to run.  Don't anyone panic.  I've got 38 minutes to make up for this week, which means I'll add an extra run next week.  Sorry I won't be able to hang around to inspire (and harrass! ) but I promise after I get all these blankety-blank tax returns finished, I'll be back in the thick of things.  Everyone have a great weekend!

Its too cold and rainy this weekend.  Make sure y'all stay out of that weather and logging miles.  And treadmills?  Blech!  Take it nice and easy.  You deserve it.  No, really, you do.

Love,

A concerned BTer not in the challenge on a team that might be competing against you.

Hey, happy teammates...

I may have left a little bit of love on the other teams' threads...a little bit of bad luck here and there.

If I'm not running, I might as well be breaking mirrors and spilling salt.

Have a great weekend. Tomorrow I'm riding, but maybe Sunday I'll get a couple miles to get to 50% for the month.

69. some odd miles total... did 20 yesterday morning. Was a great run. Well over the 50 percent mark, but I need that cushion for the end of the month..  Another 35 this coming week (mon - sun), followed by another 25 to 30 puts me well over goal by the 4th weekend of October. The reason I need the cushion is that I start Marathon taper as of next weekends 20+ mile long run, so my milage drops off toward the end.. but I have managed the front half well enough to deliver my goals, and then some, to the team.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Keep up the great work. If your not out enjoying a good run, then you are missing out on life. Fall in the NH, spring in the SH.. perfect!

Got 3 miles in today...right after a good ride, can't count that though I know. I have kinda slowed from the start I had at the beginning of the month....but don't worry. I am feeling so motivated right now! I may do another run tonight even!! Watching those guys at Kona yesterday was......well, very moving...very inspirational. That was totally awesome!!

17.21 out of 30...went for a lovely 4 miler this morning - I love running in the fall (although I'm guessing the fall colors are better in the midwest right now).

Hi team

I got another long run in yesterday so I am well ahead of schedule. However I will be leaving for Germany and Denmark tomorrow, so next week I will not see any action before the weekend. But it is ok as I will still make my goal, no matter how much it rains I will get those last k´s in before the challenge finishes

Keep running

medic0020 - 2007-10-11 4:30 AM Got in another 6.2 myself today (well, yesterday now)...Just about back on track after missing two short runs last week.

You should stop running so much Medic it's bad for your biking... Rest your legs, take a few days off and enjoy the leaves changes colors... I think you should start swimming more...

Check out those numbers.  A strong team, a very, very strong team.  VERY STRONG B.O.!!!

No worries Tex and T-nick.  We've seen your performance in the past.  Have a great week.

Uh...Tex, what's with posting a pic of your legs already...hope you're not resigning in defeat .

EDIT:  Ooh Tex, sorry to hear about the accident.  Glad to hear you're o.k.  Is the foot swelling from the accident?  Take care of that, and good luck on your 15.5 this weekend!

EDIT 2: Oh, and thanks for the well wishes for the half mary.  Cindy did great.  She wants to do another one (I have brought her to the dark side, heh...)...

I have resigned to nothing but VICTORY. I WILL make my goal, even if I have to crawl it. I just wanted to brag about all the weight I've lost since I started working out. Someday I hope to post a Trixie style abs shot.

Nice job everyone!  I am right on track according to my schedule.  Mileage will slowly bump up as the month goes along.  So even if it seems I am lagging a bit, I am actually right where I am suppose to be and will NOT let the team down....GO BO

Hey Team... im having a bit of a roller coaster week (please ignore all the whining in my logs the 24 hour grace period is over and tomorrow, as in Thursday, Ive vowed only to right good things in there)

And now work has just given me a HUGE project (which is a great opportunity but highly time intensive on top of my normal job) so dont stress if my numbers for the week seem a little low.... 

BUT never fret because Im a stubborn cow who will reach her goal no matter what!!!!

Morning, smelly teammates!

I put in just under 4.5 this morning to get to 21.66 out of 30...things are looking good to get my miles & probably then some. (If I go over, does it go to help anyone or does it just make me an overachiever?)

Happy Hump Day!

I have no doubts you will reach your goal, but I'm not so sure about the imagery - how about something more elegant than a cow...you are a stubborn gazelle? (Think positive thoughts!)

Just crossed 50 out of my 65.....my miles will slow down for the rest of the month as I'm racing this Sat and then tapering for a half-mary on 11/3.  I should have a few extra miles though if they count towards anyone else who comes up a little short.

Well with my name Cat is probably appropriate... but with my personality stubborn (or lazy) cow works too from time to time... besides cows are kind of cute (and my mum grew up on dairy farm and is now back living in the coutry so maybe its in the genes somewhere
