BunnyB - 2008-10-01 11:17 PM Wow, I came by to see what team I'm on and there's already 5 pages of posts. That'll teach me to wait until the end of the day.

My name is Melissa and you can add me to the list of the recovering injured. I'm in PT right now trying to avoid surgery for Acromioclavicular Arthrosis which is just a fancy way of saying arthritis of the AC joint. I was pretty much off all training other than walking for the month of August. I slowly got back into things in September and managed to put in around 26 miles for the September challenge on Team Nads. The worst part of all this is that I'm registered for my first tri on Oct. 19. Doctor told me I could pretty much forget about that since swimming is out for now. I ended up finding a couple of other folks to do it with me as a relay
(I would do the run
), but now that looks like it won't happen either as one of the members of the relay team is probably not going to be able to participate after all. Oh well, there's always next season. So, for now, I'm just going to focus on my wogging which is my affection term for my walk/jog combo. I'm pretty much going to be doing mostly walking this month and will ramp up the jogging intervals next month. I've signed up for the Rock 'n Roll Seattle half marathon taking place on June 27. That gives me 9 months to get ready for it. I know that sounds like a long time, but believe me, I'll need every minute of it.

As for this particular challenge, I'm in for 30 miles.

On a more personal level, I'm 44 years old, divorced, and live in southern California. I'm originally from middle Tennessee, but moved out here nearly 12 years ago. By day, I work as a computer geek in the aerospace industry. You can pretty much always spot me around BT by my silly emoticons and my bunny avatars. I've updated my avatar today to Zombie Bunny in honor of Halloween.

I've been on teams before with several of you, so I feel right at home. For those of you I've not had the pleasure of meeting before, I'm looking forward to getting to know you all this month.

Go Team Dark Arts!!!
Howzit goin' your Bunnieness? The emoticons are cute, but don't irate the pumpkin!
