The Bad Omens Team Thread (Page 7)

Hiya Team,

Just to let you know the update and standings after week 2 of the challenge is posted here http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=93980&posts=1#M1012888

Happy Running!

Cat

'ternoon everyone!  Glad to be able to say I'm on track.  26.69 miles/40 miles (67% of miles completed) with 61% of the month completed...(maybe I should have set my goal at 50 miles)...

Planning on a 6 mile run tomorrow...and chores...lots of chores.  We rented a dumpster for the weekend.  I will be diligently disposing of construction 'mess' leftover from our basement renovation......while on the other side of the world, Cat will be driving around a NEW car...

I'm awake.  Had to pee real bad (because I've hydrated REALLY well like a good little boy).  Can't get back to sleep now...

HEY!  El Flaco's running Wichita marathon tomorrow...I think he's trying to break 3 hours...GIVE HIM SOME LOVE!!!  And hey!  Medic0020's got an Oly today!  Good luck guys...

Cat...

Cat...

CAT!!!  How's the car?  Get back to blogging, would you?

haha Good M0rning!!!

Considering I blog so much it must be weird for there to have been an empty space for so long huh?  

Its almost 6pm here and yes I love having a car... I fitted in the gym and teh pool in just a few hours this afternoon... it didnt take the whole day, it wasnt a hassle! I think I could get used to this car thing!!!!

Must take some pictures... although its not that exciting to look at yet.....  

Got 4 miles in today - This leaves me just 1 mile short of my goal with 9 days left!! Whoo-hoo! I haven't ever run this many miles in a full month - much less 70% of a month! Feels great - I need to adjust my goal but I am having some knee issues today - give me a day or two to figure it out.

How 'bout it team BO? How is everyone doing?

Just got back from running 16.5, which puts me 3 miles behind schedule.  I set a personal record in speed, but I'm still 3 miles behind schedule for the challenge.  If I can stay reasonably close to schedule, I'll get caught up on my 18-20 mile run next weekend.

Hi everyone-

Sorry I haven't been to team-like the past week....crazy crazy busy.  But the best part is that I am actually a little bit ahead of schedule on the challenge goal...thanks to everyone who has dropped me a line and please know that it really helps.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Ok guys... here is the situation... it looks like to win this challenge EVERYONE is going to have to hit 100% of their goal...

Right now the Goblins, Vampires, Apples are all looking way ahead of schedule and if I looked at the schedule I would suspect there may be a few more teams close to goal...

So if WINNING is your kind of motivation you need to meet your goal... pretty pretty please....

Hi team

Good news I am BACH

Bad News I did not get the runs in I was planning over the weekend

Even worse news I might have gotten a cold on the plan ride home

I am hoping it is because I just need sleep, big time ! If that is the case I should be able to just make it.........But to make things worse there is a storm outside, and it is raining like crazy. So I will take the day off, and hope my health improves before tomorrow, and if the storm blows over before Thursday, I will just have to make my long run on Sunday a little longer then planned. But I will try my best not to let you down

GO BO

37km!  No problem!  Get healthy and finish...I know you will have no problems getting to the goal. 

After another 20.5 mile long run this past Saturday, I am at 106 out of 120, and will definitely be over goal by this coming Saturday. In fact, I may be over goal by Tuesday night. The way things are looking, I could be at 140 miles by the time this contest is over. That would be goal +20. Woo Hoo!

I think the overage should count toward something. Even if just a pat on the back.

For tracking purposes, we are 67.74% through the month.  Everyone is very close or above that percentage.  It's our final full week, everyone DIG DEEP to make YOUR goal and your team's goal go over that 100% mark!

Psssst..... Have I told you guys what a ROCKIN' team you are?  Thanks for motivating me so much!

There's a table that makes everything easy. The difference is that I don't include warm ups in the logs. But every miles counts for the challenge. So I sum everything up in the table.

Thanks for the hard work captain!

Just add it on to week 3 thats fine... as long as its all correct in the end Im happy...

Here is the updated chart correcting TexOma's miles.  Rather than go back to the beginning of the month, I adjusted week 3.  Sorry 'bout that TexOma!  Ya'all didn't ask if I could read or count when I started this job.

Hiya,

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

Take Care 

Cat

Nice job everyone!  We moved up to 3rd place and are going strong.  Those two teams in front of us have no clue what hit them as we fly by to take the 100% goal prize.

I squeezed an unscheduled run in yesterday so it is a given that I am going to hit the goal...and probably do it early.  And as they say, if I can do it then I know damn well that the rest of you can.....
