Purple People Eaters Team Thread (Page 8)

I am posting my weeks total now for this week -

Total for week:13.34 (I believe that is an all time high weekly mileage)

For the month so far: 34.45

Goal: 45

So, my monthly total is 31 (out of 30) for record-keeping's sake.  If I run more (I will) does it count toward the team?  If so then I will do what I can, if not, I will keep on running anyway!  Tomorrow's a rest day, though.

Just checking in to say hello since I haven't inspired many of you in the last few days. Will post my weekly totals tomorrow just in case I go out on a short one tonight. Should be right on track for making my goal. Looks like I underestimated but thats better than not making the goal right?

Keep up the awesome work PPEs.

PS Did that sound motivated?

I'm at about 3.5 hours this week.  Seeing as that put me over my goal, I'm going to up it to 15 hours for this month. 

Great job everyone!

This is where I'm at.

4h 07m 26s  - 19.68 Mi

Just under 2 hours to go and I have another run this Sunday too   Plus 3 more this week. WOOT. I should be finished with some to spare in plenty of time.   

Good afternoon PPE's,

Just wanted to check in. I am at 87.85 miles of the 114 I have promised. I will get them done by the end of the challenge.

Had a great weekend and I hope you all did too. Well, gotta go eat some lunch and get back to work. Will run later today and do my Cross-fit workout.

Have a great day!

Chris

Can I make an increase then? Make my goal 48 miles vs. 45. (not a big deal for most but I'm already trying to figure out how and when I will push those extra couple miles). But I can do it right? I'm a purple people eater and we've got the wind at our back and secret roller blading shoes on our feet

Hi Everyone,

Here's where we're at for the end of week 3.  For those of you that haven't checked in on the thread, I took a peek at your logs.  (Sorry, I was a smidge anxious)

I'll wait until tonight for everyone to check in before sending the results to Cat. 

Hiya,

Week 3 update is POSTED http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=94472&posts=1#M1021711

Take Care

I'm still on the fence about my 1/2 marathon this Sunday.  I have a 1.5 hr run scheduled for today.  How I feel during today's run will probably determine if I do the race or not.  Either way, I'll hit 100%. 

Hi,

Im just writing a note here to get feedback regarding those people affected by the fires in California as Mother Nature is an unforeseen circumstance that we could not have planned for with this challenge.

They way I see it there are 3 groups:
- Those evacuated due to fire risk
- Those whose running is affected due to smoke in the air
- Those who are working as part of the fire fighting crew

I have some ideas on how we can address this but the key suggestions are:
- Let another team member or members pick up their mileage in the next 7 days (this only counts from miles run from today)
- Allow for goal reduction based on planned workouts for days affected due to fire fighting or evacuation (has to be a fair way to do this, if you committed 50 miles and have only run 10 miles to date dont try and tell me you were going to run 40mile in 7 days!!!)

Those affected by smoke can use the gym or elliptical or treadmill to meet their goal OR if you do not have access to these facilities the above will apply.

Please let me know via PM or in the team leaders thread anyone affected and what you want to do ASAP as the end of October is almost upon us.

Please stay safe
Cat

I'm racing too - half marathon relay in Houston. GO PURPLE, 1 more week!
