EeeeeaaaaaaAAAAWWWW!  Great job Deanna. 

And no, I wasn't out running, or riding either.    I left work early, brought work/studying home with me, and crashed so hard on the couch I had trouble persuading myself to stand up later.  By the time I was fully conscious, it was time to get back to work.

My blind friend Liz had to reschedule our regular Wednesday run to Saturday this week, so I'll get up and do my tempo run before my office hour tomorrow.  Yay!  Running IS fun, darnit! 

Hello All. Have found out that I need to keep away from your blogs & threads until I have watched all the NFL games I have recorded. Saw the word Cowboys out of the corner of my eye whilst on Tex's blog. Just knew something strange was going to happen the longer I watched the game. Said to my youngest, just watch I bet Dallas win. You could see him weighing up the possibilities. Need to recover onside kick & get in FG range. Nah! But they did.

Good run for me this morning. Pleased with pace also. Have 5 hours of riding lined up this weekend, one hilly, so need to get some more running distance in again tomorrow, especially as I have to catch up last weeks deficit.

How does this challenge work. Is it an overall team mileage that counts or does everyone have to complete their own targets?

Keep up the good work everyone. Black Magic Rules!

D.Z, you're not even a good liar! 

EEEaaaawsome job Deanna!!

Way to get er done Ken!

UGH! Yesterday's 6+ run did not happen.  Beat from the pool.  I was hoping my training partner would shame me into getting out, but he had dive training today and was pretty tired from Monday too.

I targeted 4, but only slogged 3 miles out today.  It was a lot hotter than it let on, and frankly I have so much going on inside, I had to toss myself outside. 

Past three was turning into junk, so I'll get out and finish tomorrow morning before the bike.  That still gives me Friday and Saturday to meet my ten mile goal for this week.  Just not motivated, but still going through the motions.

BUT!  I was reading what the planned 'punishment' will be as far as avatars for the loosing team.  Frankly?  I look good in spandex, have killer legs, and I live in SoFla - I'm pedicured to the max.  I promise to those of you who fear one of the above, you won't be on display because of me!

Like my custom Patriot's jersey says ...

Great job everybody ... let's move up in the standings this Monday!

Bippity boppity boo 16 miles for all of you...   Yep, we did it, we knocked out a 16 miler this morning...black Army PT shorts suck...they get all hard and crispy after a run and sometimes during a run due to sweat...then it shows up really well on the shorts, I had half-white shorts today especially where I wear my water belt.  Weather was great, and it was the furthest I have ever run.

AND I may have inspired my sister to train for a half marathon/marathon...she's in California, used to be quite fit and athletic, but yea, not so much anymore...but I think my run time from the 10-miler and a definite change in my body comp etc., has pushed her to get better, so I'm HAPPY about that! Hope it works.

Next run on tap may be a light brick on Sat. to loosen up the legs, and then a 2 mile APFT run on Sunday--would LOVE to get this below 14 minutes!

GO TEAM GO!

We EACH have to hit our targets - our score the average of our percentages!  Plus I think the rules are that it stops at 100% for each of us.  So even if Brittany runs 200% of her goal, she doesn't win the challenge unless all of us do our job too!  It's the least we can do for our Black Magic Sister over there in Bagdad, right all????   As much as the men of BT would love to see foolproof's legs, we'll just have to win and deny them that opportunity.

Another run for you guys today, but not quite in Tex's league, almost though, almost. Noticed that I wasn't picking my legs up properly towards the end, so thought of CitySky's "pretty little knees", which inspired me to get mine up. No stops (no intervals, ha, ha!).

Was a bit stupid as I hadn't planned this distance. Went out taking young 'un to school without having any food or drink whatsoever - 'City' I took 5 Jelly Babies but Nic ate one on the way to school. They just melted in my mouth, wanted more.

Well, I got the 'nuther 3 in today.  I know, it's puny but ... I'm .6 miles just under halfway to meet my monthly goal.

More to come tomorrow!  (oh, and there was 20  mile bike on top of it.) 

You're doing good. Like the ride after too. Good Brick.

Noticed Tex hasn't appeared to comment on the Pat's jersey! We have a bragging rights game soon then? 

Keep it going Ken. You're getting some great miles in, & swims & rides. Excellent all round efforts.

Just noticed we are the same weight. Do you weigh yourself before or after exercise? Me, I log before weight. What I'd give to get down to that 165 lb mark of yours the other day.
