A spectacular day for the gang! I just did the local Turkey Trot (8 miler) and ran it 2 minutes (exactly) better than last year, so I'm pretty happy. A PR for myself too at the distance (57'46") or 7:13/mile, but the course is actually too long by 0.15 so the Garmin registered and average 7:06/mi.

Also, I want to tell you all that I feel thankful for you being a part of the group in this Thanksgiving day. Everyone of you has made me proud!

Congratulations to all of you, it feels great to be in a group of successful, dedicated folks.

X2, big congratulations on a very good day for you guys!  

Also, totally agree with you Ernesto about the Nov. challenge, its turning out to be a fun, productive experience!  We are

learning more about ourselves and we can see the benefits from frequency of the workouts!  We should extend the challenge until at least May 19th, that way I can count with the support from the group for my IM Texas training )

You have huge improvement potential, especially on the bike and swim. Like I've always said, you will be an amazing triathlete if you start putting long rides to expand your base for that sport, also joining a swim team. But I know that this will take time, which is what we have because this is a lifetime sport.

Congrats on your PR, that's actually faster than my best 10K.

I'll go cheer my rear off in May though, but you'll be doing all the work in the heat!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all, competitive freaks ()!

Among many things, I am grateful for this group and my ability to do all those SBR things in this ripe old age. Ernesto, you are at the helm here and steering in good direction. Please keep the course and don't abandon the ship!

And now off to the car mechanic to pick up my car after the regular service. It is 27C (not bad) and I'm running again today...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and congratulations on the PRs.  I too PR'ed today because it was 5 miles.  But if it were a 10K and I kept the same pace, it would have definitely been a PR there too.  Race report is up.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I am proud and humbled to be a part of such dedicated triers.

Mitch, I would vote for you for most improved.  I have definitely noticed a big change in you since you first joined this forum.  Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on yet another PR Jackie!

Day 25, 7 miles ran in 1:24:04. It's great to be on vacation and able to get some longer trainings in without the worry of having to get to work! One more day before the 15 hour trip back. I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

Today I rode with three other peeps 40 miles in 2:23'12", trying to stay away from the shopping frenzy (what the hell is wrong with people?) and I kept it pleasant, by-passed the hills because I'm a bit sore from yesterday.

Jackie, congrats also on your PR!  Seems like almost everyone got a PR in the last couple of days so the challenge must be having a positive impact on everyone's fitness levels!

Also Barry, I think so far you win the prize for the most outrageous workout due to this challenge by waking up at 3:30am to get your run in!

Today I was not able to get myself up to run in the morning, but was able to get a run in at lunch time: 6.47 Mi, 58:47
