I got my bike in today, it felt great!

Tomorrow I will probably do nothing. Usually I take Fridays off because they are one of my busiest days. I have a speech I have to do at an awards banquet tomorrow. I won a scholar award for a paper I wrote and have to now talk about my paper before I can claim my prize money.

My internet is running horribly. I have no idea what is going on, but it is me off! So, I can't post as much as I would like to because it takes ten years to load a page


Yeah. I'm on dialup still. It's sooooooooooooooooo slow. The other day, I was only able to connect at 33 kbps. Heck, I can TYPE faster than 33 kbps.....

Congrats! That's awesome! Have a great time at your banquet.

I just ran 4 miles so I'm well on my way. Beth, I listed my goals on my log page and the completed percentages to the side of each one to make it easier for you.

Hm, I think I'm going to reply to several posts at once. For me, that's a first! LOL

HCS5QA - 2007-11-01 8:10 PM
Ok I just got home and ready to go run. I'm dead tired and prefer to pass out but I can't start the first day in the negative. I was looking a Sharon's weather and realized that my low's were her high's, I guess 65 degrees isn't so cold after all. LOL .Time to go.


Yeah, I felt the same way. BUT I did not want a white box on my log for the first day of the challenge! BTW, it was in the 70s here today.

tnickerson - 2007-11-01 7:05 PM
I'm going to revise my goals. .........


Oh geezzzzzzz, here it comes. I finally finish the team spreadsheets, and.... LOL

Not a problem. I'll update it, and repost. I just had to pick on you for a minute first, though.


barqhead - 2007-11-01 6:30 PM
I'm a lousy runner. Maybe you guys can help me out with pointers. I'm trying to start running again next week after not running for five weeks to heal my right hip flexor. I could really rock some aqua-bike events.


I always say "I hate running." But I don't think that I hate it, as much as:
1) I don't do it often enough to really get the hang of it.
2) I don't know how to do it properly. As a result, my knee starts to hurt. Then, I favor the knee, which makes my ankle or hip start to hurt.

I probably need to make more of a committent to "running." Instead, I tend to avoid it....

Aqua-bike!!!! Now you're talking. (Of couse, we're back to the issue of how I avoid running....)

Whew! This challenge is a LOT of work! Anyway, I'm hereeeeee............

And THIS time, I'm going to start reading from the BOTTOM of the thread. That way, I won't miss you yelling something at me, that I wasn't able to see because I was 4 pages up from where everyone else was..............

Oh --- and what do you all think of my new avatar?

Hahahahaha.

OK, time to start reading what you've all been talking about all day.... I am suffering from BT withdrawal because I wasn't here for.... forever.



Dee


Love the avatar. I'm glad that Sal found it for you! And he thought it was a joke. LOL

spokes - 2007-11-01 4:53 PM
Since I'm a latecomer to the team, I'm wondering if I should do my introduction HERE or in the introduction thread... My goal is to run 100 miles this month. Sandbagging, I know, as I ran 200 last month, and I'll likely run around 160, but I'm tapering for a marathon and I wanted to have a goal that I'll make without too much pressure... doing 175 last month was a bit much even though I ended up doing 200.



Say what?????????????


Forget about reading backwards.... It has its drawbacks. Like, um, I think I missed a HUGE announcement?

You mean.... you mean.... Ah hell. I need to update the spreadsheet yet again. That's what it means. LOL

Hi Spokes! Looks like you've joined our team! Welcome!

Unlike last month, where there was a penalty for the losing teams, this challenge has a different basis. This month, there's no such thing as "sandbagging."

This is a "your choice" challenge. If your ultimate goal is to successfully prepare for your upcoming marathon, then your November challenge goal" should be to do whatever is required to get there. So you can declare a 100 mile goal. Or, you can incorporate other training aspects that will help support your running.

People have put down everything from swim/bike/run to kickboxing, yoga, and "kiss my wife once a day" and "watch all Heroes episodes." (I'm not kidding. There're really on the list.)

Anyway, welcome to the team.

Dee

Hello Team Six (aka They Who Shall Not be Quiet Named!)

Attached is your team's spreadsheet.

Your Team Captain is lastcall2003 aka Beth.

Each week, your Team Captain will fill out the spreadsheet, marking your progress towards your GOALS.

The "week" will run Saturday to Sunday. (This will allow you to cram in all those weekend sessions!)

I will start a thread called "Nov Challenge Team Leaders Thread." Please post your team's results there by Monday evening each week. (Sunday is fine, if you have them ready. But I figured I'd give you the extra day, in case you need to nag encourage your team to post their results.

To attach a file to a post: While writing a post, look at the bottom of the box. You'll see options to include a signature and enable emoticons. Directly below that is "Attach a file after posting." Check that box. You will then be able to attach your spreadsheet to your post.

If you have questions, or need better instructions about this, feel free to ask.

And most of all..... GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! I hope every one of us meets his/her goals!

Dee


Hey, where is spokes on the spreadsheet?

No, I don't think you were responsible....

I think I stayed up too late on BT and turned my brain into oatmeal. Then, due to the bizarre side effects of "oatmeal brain syndrome", I started talking about challenges with you.

Then, I actually wrote up a challenge idea.

Finally, suffering severely from said "oatmeal brain syndrome," I actually POSTED the thing on the Challenge Forum.

And next thing I knew, I went from 225 posts, to over 600!

Now, someone please tell me how to un-oatmealize my brain! I kind of miss it. LOL
