I won't know my goal for October until tomorrow night.  It all depends on if I can get my last run done for September.  I had to have my old kitty cat put to sleep today so I bagged todays workout.  I'm really sad.  I'm having wine for dinner.   Anyone want to join me in a toast to my happily resting kitty?

That is what I had for dinnerSmile, but I had to make itFrown.  My daughter actually requested it as she has a bad sore throat and cold.  We had it with a warm baguette, cheese and apples.  I should have had a glass of wine with it!

Oh I am sorry, that is one of the hardest things to do, and then to deal with all the pain afterwards.  I am sure you made the right decision for your kitty; definitely take a day of rest.

Since "Show us your Ghoulies" garnered the most votes for a team name I will let Dee know to change our thread.  Any objections speak now or double your goal!

Presentation is amazing...but the taste...is OUT OF THIS WORLD! was the best money my parents ever spent! (sending him to SF Culinary School

Hi everyone-
  Wow, I haven't checked this site for a few days and miss out on 8 pages of conversation!!! I am super happy for a chatty group!
   This year was my first year to start doing tri's. My first love is soccer, been playing for 24 yrs (goalie) and continue to play and coach. However, back in March I did a mini tri because someone told me they didn't think I'd do it. I've been hooked ever since.I have a 15 month old daughter and discovered running is the perfect way to have some me time.
  I am going to do my best to keep up!

DEBBIE.  i started out on a hybrid bike as well.  there are days/rides when i actually miss it.

what kinda of road bike did you get?

i got a Jamis Xenith Comp, thanks to a 'tip' by mr. wgraves who i will indebted to for life.  mwah!

I got a 20 year old Schwinn roadie from a garage sale!  (Stepping up, I know.)  Hubby has been fixing it up for me.  Got new brake cables last weekend, so now I'll be able to stop.  Laughing

It's not fancy, but it's lighter than the hybrid.  If I keep saving my pennies, I'll be able to get one of those new-fangled super-fast bikes someday.  (Of course, if I keep spending my pennies on races...)

I just found a du in October that's not too far from me.  It might get race-tested soon!  (Plus I have some good incentive to run.)

I was all excited to be able to spend more time on BT post padding contributing meaningfully to the challenge thread, then last night we had a storm and our DSL went out.    Took until tonight to get everything working again.  Then I had to catch up on 4 pages. 

(It was only 4 pages, Neal.  You're slipping.)

HMMMM   not so sure I agree with this one    Wink

Hey Dee...were on the same team! small world, eh???

since Im late to this October Challenge party and dont remember reading a bio from you....is this your first challenge?



Hi Julie,  this is my second month of training and my second challenge.  I am still learning to jog but it is improving.  I have a 5k fun run on Thanksgiving and on New Year's.  I hope to jog most of the Turkey run and jog all of the New Year's run.  I had a time goal but my speed is pretty slow, so we shall see.

Now I know who the Dorothy is on your Log Page.  Very cool ....

ilucy2 - 2009-09-29 6:09 PM Wellllll the month has not officially started, but the team is just a chattin away...Neal. Did a little speed work this morning. Probably not a good combination. Did serious leg workout last night and my hams are killing me!....uggg. I need a hot tub! mmmmm I had a nice carb loaded lasanga. Yeah not sure what hit me but I found candy corn today.....HEY! DON"T JUDGE ME!

kendra.....hot tub sounds fabulous....and safe to say you can always have any and all candy corn I get when trick or treating. but I do love chocolate!!!!!!!!!!mmmmmmm

must have chocolate!




x2.  no candy corn but I will always take chocolate.  I think they should make "candy corn"  out of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate.  Is that enough stripes?  I am sure that I can come up with another chocolate!

Ahh,   I can relate.  My bike was my step-daughter's bike when she was in 5th Grade (12 years ago).  She was about as tall then as I am now.  It is a youth bike so it is a little short from seat to bars but I put on an adjustable stem that helps.  For now it has wider "off-road" tires because our roads are rough and will be winter wet.  Our hi temp has already dropped into the 50s this week.  BRRR

Hey everyone! I'm a late arrival to the team - just saw this challenge today.

It's been over a year since I've been in one, so I thought I'd give one a go again.

Just finished my 3rd year of doing tri's last week. I have a great time doing them, but I've never enjoyed running very much, and it's starting to really drag down my results as I get better swimming and biking.

Did a 1/2 marathon in May, and I'm doing the same one as Stacie in Pgh on 11/1 - Hi Stacie! Looking forward to this challenge to help make sure I get my miles in this month!

and my name is Bob, not Willie! Cool

I just switched to a new internet provider when I moved recently.  It seems they're down for no apparent reason at least once a week.  Nothing more irritating than the internet BT for awhile.
