Vixens Revisited - Du-December Challenge (Page 9)

ebshot - 2009-12-06 2:59 PM Hey there Vixens!  First time I have checked in today.  Shocking.  I ran a lovely (yet cold) 5k this morning.  Pretty happy with how I did.  I finished in 27:56.  I would have been about 20 seconds faster but I had to stop to tie my shoe.  Are you kidding me????  I wasn't happy.  But, I finished 3rd in my division!!  Pretty happy about that.  I got a fabulously warm fleece blanket.  Sweet!  Hope everyone else had a great Sunday.

Oh man, I wish it was a Snuggie!  I secretly want one.  I guess it isn't a secret anymore is it?

crimefighter2 - 2009-12-05 7:05 PM got my 5K in this morning - it was cold - but well worth it!  I had a very good time.  Coldes race I  have ever done - which really isn't saying much.  (I have only gotten back into running)  Any ways - have a great weekend everyone - and go team!





oh yeah - and something else in my signature about losing the November challenge...need to update that....

Good evening team, nice to see everyone working hard on their goals, keep up the good work!  I just finished off a 40k ride on the drainer, followed by a 5k on the dreadmill and oddly enough still have energy left.  I think I just earned some serious sofa time now. 

KOM - 2009-12-06 2:30 PM Well it was sunny at least I can say that, otherwise it was an irritating run.  30 degrees with a sharp wind that kept hitting me in the face every time I turned a corner and lots of clothing issues.  I am bagging tonight's swim in favor of some family time and tree decorating.  I will try to swim 3 x next week to make it up. My Y is replacing the floors in the room I teach spin in so class has been canceled from the 9th through the 22nd.  Bummer since it throws off my cycling schedule but it also frees up some nights to swim, and since swim is a challenge goal I will focus there.

what up, KATHY is it Y improvement month.  the fitness center at my Y is gonna be closed from the 14-18th to install new equipment, its gonna be a good thing when its all done, but in the meantime it does rearrange the schedule just a tad!

way to go seeing it as an opportunity to shift your focus for a time.

as for your run.  BAH!  dont you just love those sorts of runs?

enjoy your family time and decorating.

skrtrnr - 2009-12-07 12:38 PM AFTER NOON VIXENS!

first off, WAY TO GO TEAM ON OUR FIRST PLACE this the first week of the challenge.

wooo hoooo!

and WAY to GO ERICA on you FABULOSO 5K....anychance you could come to PGH this Saturday and pace my azz to a 3rd place finish? 


i went out to run early, 25 degree 4 miler.  HTFU points for me. 

my reward:  a tanning session.  1st one until i get some color on these uber white shoulders of my mine so that i dont end up being the talk of the company christmas party for all the WRONG reasons.  LOL. 

got my two almost strapless dresses to choose from, both of which will look so much better if i have nice light tan.

i need to post the pics of me in my dresses so you can vote which one i should wear to the party.  im having a hard time deciding.

AGAIN, VIXENS, CONGRATS on our FIRST PLACE FINISH!

keep on keepin on.
