Poison Apples Team Thread (Page 7)

So I just walked another 2.1 this evening with my husband & daughter.  It's my "walk or cross-train" day according to my 10K plan.  Do you think that still counts toward our totals?  I said I was doing run/walk time when I signed up.

lyssa-gator - 2007-10-04 11:06 AM  as far as biking, i havent touched my bike since the race (labor day) i detest it. i want a new bike, i'd like to take my bike and run over it 17 times with a garbage truck. i DO need to get on it though, a new bike isnt in the budget until spring-boo hoo, poor me of the three-running is my strong point, but i would like to improve. i'd love to be able to RUN a half mary next year, and i think i'd like to try an oly next year too.

Well, my bike is an old stationary one.  With the big fly wheel up front.  Since I want to do my first Sprint next Spring, I'll have to get a "real one" before that.

Running is my weakest point.  I... can.... not.... run.  Hence, the tiny goal for the month.  I'm doing mostly walking now, and adding in some jogging.  By the end of the month, hopefully, I'll be doing more jogging and less walking.

I'd like to do my first Sprint Tri next Spring.  (The only thing I'm not worried about is the swim!)

You can totally do your first tri on whatever bike you own... Ive seen everything out there, hybrids, mountain bikes and yes Kmart bikes so just ride what you have access to by all means!

And remember while a flash bike is nice (I lust after them) most of what makes you go well is the YOU as you are the engine!

Cat said as long as you declare it when you sign up, it's ok.   (I'm paraphrasing.  I don't remember her exact words.  Her post is earlier in this forum though.)

So if you said it, then yes, I think it counts. 

Personally, I'm doing walk/run.  I'm recording the mileage for both.  If I happen to meet my goal earlier, I'll ask if I can set a new (higher) goal.

Of course it counts Some participants are walk only... as long as you are consistent with what you include its all good!

lyssa-gator - 2007-10-04 11:16 AM WOW AWESOME!!! clearly we totally rock. AND we're going to totally clean up on this competition!! where's husker-tri?? has she posted again since the very beginning?? hope she's all right. we should all bop over to her logs and "inspire" her if you know what i mean >

Hm, she set us all up as "Friends."  So she WAS online long enough to do that.

And it says that she DID log on today.  (Last logon2007-10-04 5:11 PM.)  So she's been around, at least.  

I left an inspire for her, too. 

Hopefully, she's been out running all day, and was too busy to update her log.  Or maybe she'll stop by here to check in and say hello to us.

She didn't set me up as a friend - I stopped and inspired everyone the other day. Hmm... Hopefully we will hear soon. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I just did a 2.5 mile run taking me up to 6.5 for the week - to meet the goal I need 10 a week. I think I am going to be good. Worked out with hubby who is just getting started running again and with weight loss.

Good job everyone. We are doing the dang thing

Hi Team,

Lets give the no shows until the report in on Monday... if at that time anyone has not shown up then we will remove them from the challenge... with over 130 people taking part Id expect a couple of drop outs.... wont be penalising a team for no shows!

Hello Everyone - Happy Friday.

I have attached the spreadsheet - it appears most of us are on our way. The majority of us are over 10% which is good for the goal. I am hoping to get in another 4 miles this week to be up over the 25% goal since I figure then if I have problems later in the month (umm Vegas Trip middle of Oct and slack) then I have a little wiggle room

It is supposed to be nice here in OKC today but rainy and crappy this weekend so I better get the mileage in today. This weekend is going to be a lazy weekend for me since I start another 2 classes of grad school on Monday.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Stacie
