Vampires Team Thread (Page 7)

Let's all get that running folks. We really need to move up on the ranking tables. I ran the most in one week, and really had fun doing it. Let's get everyone to break their personal records next week, and see what we can do. I do not want to have to change my avatar next month.

So please, let's pull it together as a team, and no more slacking. There is only one week left, and let's put in all we can put in. 30min run everyday for everyone. Modify your training, and let's do it. Cheers.

Shawn - sorry to hear about the injury... take care, I hope you are on the mend in no time!

You are all looking strong! Congrats

If I did the math right....16.2     I will get it done next week and 1/2....  Just pray for no injuries...  Have agood week folks.

Good work vampires !!  We're at 75% for the month, which should be right on track. 

My long run today put me over 100% and I have a few more runs planned for this week.

Is it the total for the team that determines the winner/loser of the challenge? ie. if the team total is 100% we have met the goal, even if one team member didn't meet 100% personally??

Let's get rolling folks. This is our last week to really kick it in. Then 3 days next week. Let's try to reach at least 100% by Sunday this week. I have surpassed the most I've ever ran in a month, so can you all.

I set to take my best and used that as a goal, so you can all do it. Running is my weakest, so if I did it, so can you all. Let's get rolling, and go go go go go go g.......

take care... the fires sound BRUTAL!!!

Be safe. My prayers are with you and everyone putting it on the line to fight this monster. 

Hi team,

I am back after (more) travel. Will update my logs later today. Thanks for the messages. I should be more prompt in posting from this point forward.

Hey guys, everything is ok for our home so far, we're packed and ready.

I'm here at work and two of our choppers are dropping water on the fires. We'll be here as long as we're needed but obviously if it goes all week like this I may not make my runs. I'll have to wear my forerunner 305 to keep track of all the running I do between helicopters, will that count? Sorry, thought I'd inject a little bit of levity under the current circumstances.

Either way keep running you bloody bats! Go Vampires!

Hiya... am I ok to grab these figures for the update??? Im going to assum they are the final for the week...

Happy Running! Cat

Hiya,

Week 3 update is POSTED http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=94472&posts=1#M1021711

Take Care

Hi,

Im just writing a note here to get feedback regarding those people affected by the fires in California as Mother Nature is an unforeseen circumstance that we could not have planned for with this challenge.

They way I see it there are 3 groups:
- Those evacuated due to fire risk
- Those whose running is affected due to smoke in the air
- Those who are working as part of the fire fighting crew

I have some ideas on how we can address this but the key suggestions are:
- Let another team member or members pick up their mileage in the next 7 days (this only counts from miles run from today)
- Allow for goal reduction based on planned workouts for days affected due to fire fighting or evacuation (has to be a fair way to do this, if you committed 50 miles and have only run 10 miles to date dont try and tell me you were going to run 40mile in 7 days!!!)

Those affected by smoke can use the gym or elliptical or treadmill to meet their goal OR if you do not have access to these facilities the above will apply.

Please let me know via PM or in the team leaders thread anyone affected and what you want to do ASAP as the end of October is almost upon us.

Please stay safe
Cat

We are in the home stretch.......

Hey Cat,

Thanks for the options and I'm sure there are some of us that need them. As far as I'm concerned I should be able to finish my challenge. I have a treadmill at home and I just completed 2.5 towards my goal.

Running on the treadmill sucks but it's better then nothing. Go Vampires! Lets finish strong! 

All part of the service

You are lucky to have a treadmill at home... guess you are just gonna have to run then (pom pom and all!) but if anything changes just let me know.

 Take Care out there!
