Black Magic Team Thread (Page 7)

Ah, I knew it was going to cool off in TX before I got back...I'm going to freeze...I'll be the one running in long sleeves and pants when it's 55 outside (when in the past that'd still be short weather...shorts as long as possible)...oh well, so long as I'm home, I don't care!

I may or may not run some tomorrow...if I do it really will be to keep my legs loose for Sunday.  I'm a little tired today. Kudos to everyone and their miles! Keep it up team and there is no way in heck we're losing this thing!

As for the Pats jersey--due to the crappy Dept. of Defense network I'm on here, there are lots of images that, for whatever reason, do not show up...so I can't see it.  BUT nonetheless... GO COWBOYS!  Our head boss man here is from Boston and never stops talking about the Patriots...he drives us nuts, his right hand-man is a Cowboys fan...needless to say, we will rub it in till we redeploy if (more like WHEN) the Cowboys take 'em down. Okay, no more intra-team smack talk..we gotta save that for the other teams! haha!

Happy Friday all...enjoy it, I am going to enjoy it because the MAIN BODY of our replacements get here today...I only have a little over a week of work left before they take over!

Dropping some PURPLE FARTS to ensure your running is a gas this weekend....

Hi guys!  While the losing teams were busy posting pictures of constipated fruit and the like, I was out running 5.4 miles.     New shoes too.  Yummmm.  Life feels good.  I'm over halfway to my goal for the month -- amazing to me, since I made sure to set my goal higher than my best month ever before!

Next week there will be a slight drop in mileage from me as I take it a little easier before my big 10K trail run next Saturday -- woo-hoo!

Enjoy your running folks.  That's all the magic we really need.   

KenD - 2007-10-12 6:57 PM You're doing great, CitySky. How do the new shoes feel? After I bought mine, my wife started questioning the wisdom of buying new shoes one week before a race. Almost 25 miles on the new shoes and no blisters.

They felt great, nice stability.  Still Brooks, same platform, but a lighter-weight model.  ONE muscle in my right foot felt like it might be working more; weird, huh?  Will alternate for the next week and make a game-day decision for the 10K next Saturday.

Yea, I need to do the rotate shoe thing and will do so when shopping is easier for me (so in 2 1/2 WEEKS! Yeehaw!)...I never had the need to before, but I do now.

 Anyhow, put me down for 4 miles for today! Plan for 2 miles on the APFT tomorrow. I am going to look at my mileage and planned runs from here and may need to up my pledge...will post further if necessary!

Happy Weekend all!

Ken - Good Luck Sunday. Go for it.

Good week everybody, well done. Black Magic are the BEST. 

Just noticed whilst doing my fantasy team that it's Pat's @ Cowboys this week. Thought it was next. Silly me. Haven't checked TV listings yet but it must be on live here. Tex & Ken. Think you should add another 10 to your targets if Cowboys lose. I'll do same if Giants trip up. (Yes, I have seen your extra 15 already). This month is supposed to be a challenge, right?

Happy Sunday Team! Here are some big shout outs to Jszat and KenD for the big races today! Have fun, be fast, but most of all HAVE FUN! No running for me today, but an 8.5 miler on tap for tomorrow.  Here is my "initial" plan for this next week...we'll see what happens, but I will get my 150 pledged...it may be difficult or it may be easy and I'll go over, but it all depends on how this transition with the new guys go...but I will get 150 (most I'll have ever run in one month in my life....I'm loving this whole thing and truly think about y'all and HAVING to do my runs for the team!) GO BLACK MAGIC!

M: 8.5 mi
T: bike/lift
W: 17 mi
TH: bike/lift
Fri: 10.5 mi
Sat: rest maybe
Sun: APFT (hopefully) 2 mi

Hope you all had a great weekend. After a short knee breaking run (this could be terminal & career ending), the computer calculates 37.64 miles so far this month. 62.7% by my calculations.

I had no problems with the knee on the ride but within a mile of the run I could feel that something was wrong. It started to sieze up as I was talking to a neighbour when I got back & has stayed that way all day.

Giants had better win tomorrow as I don't fancy doing an extra 10 miles - LOL.

Hey Lara - of course its fine! Im sure the team would LOVE to have you on as a cheerleader too!

Hope you feel better soon!

Hi, if she is still logging lets keep her in for now and re-evaluate next week when we know if she is gonna check in... sometimes life just keeps us busy!

There are several teams with AWOL members but Im acting on the benefit of the doubt right now if they have checked in to the team at least once... but Im not going to penalise teams if someone has to drop out so dont worry!
