| Beantown | Subject: RE: Tased and Confused (Team 1) - January Challenge I AM PI$$ED!!!!!!!I have a perfect hill for hill repeats; it's 1 mile away so I get a perfect 10 minute warm up then it's a 1-4% incline that takes me 2 minutes to climb - EXACTLY what the plan calls for. EXCEPT NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO SHOVEL/APPLY ICE MELT!!!!! The US luge team should come on buy and use it for training!!!! Did I mention I'm NOT HAPPY!?it's probably for the best - my a$$ is peculiarly sore from yesterday's drainer ride.... but still I'm mad, where's my cheese?! |

Mile 1 - 8:27 Mile 2 - 8:11 Mile 3 - 7:56 Half mile recovery - 5:05 qtr mile cool down - 3:17. Incline at 1.0 during run, 2.0 during recovery and cool down. I was hoping for a four mile run, but the machines shuts you off at 30. I was kinda tuckered/winded anyway. How am I going to do a half marathon in 16 weeks? Will update sheet later after I do PT and maybe Ab Ripper X. I slept too late this a.m. to get it done. It was also 2 degrees here and 16 below windchill I think. I'd rather have the snow. Oh - don't we need a captain(s) yet? Is that the kind of pace you're hoping to hold for the half mary? You probably need to back off on the pace until you get your endurance/distance up. In my dreams! Mainly, hoping to finish without walking. Secondary goal is a consistent 9 MM. I can only currently run on the mill during lunch, and am limited in time, so I am running this pace. The only training program I've ever tried/followed was Couch to 5K. (good program, btw) I've looked at the one by FIRST but it has abbr. on there I am not sure what they mean. and more running than I have time for right now. |

Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Tased and Confused (Team 1) - January Challenge Morning all! I have a session with my BBB group this morning. I think we are using the TRX system again. Those things can be crazy hard. After that I need to get in a run...gonna use my new fleece tights to stay warm. Then I pick up RICO!!! my new used car. My daughters have named him Rico Suave. Here is a link to the video in case you have forgotten how bad the 90s really were...Rico Suave. I'll post a pic later. Have a good day!!! |

Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Tased and Confused (Team 1) - January Challenge crimefighter2 - 2010-01-05 9:53 AM I used a 3 day a week plan last year for my first half mary. Two runs a week were only 4-5 miles with a long run on the weekend. I'll try to find the link. I know a lot of folks use plans from runners world. There is a make your own plan on there that lets you put in your # of days to run, # of weeks to train and a few other parameters and then creates a program. It seems pretty good.MDHillSlug - 2010-01-04 2:48 PM crimefighter2 - 2010-01-04 3:43 PM My lunch hour workout....

Champion 6107 Out running or enjoying a fine glass of red... | Subject: RE: Tased and Confused (Team 1) - January Challenge Do people really run out of gas anymore? I'm in a mood - I had a strength training session planned for yesterday afternoon during Elder Monkey's piano lesson at the Y. But her #@$@#%@ piano teacher ran out of gas on the way to the Y so her lesson got cancelled (along with my weights). GRRRRRR. Good thing I aimed low on that goal, huh?  |

Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Tased and Confused (Team 1) - January Challenge Today's Tased and Confused contest: What kind of car is Rico Suave? Urban dictionary definition is: Rico Suave is basically a man who is for all intended purposes the following: Good Looking, muscular, "macho"-being totally cool toward everyone and everything, very clean and neat in appearance, a man who is 100% man: almost every lady is attracted to him because of his great charismatic ability, and when need be, he can be a real bad guy to mess with" guesses? suggestions? |

Expert 1246 West Grove, PA | Subject: RE: Tased and Confused (Team 1) - January Challenge Congrats, Erica... hopefully the first in a string of good news!!!! Did a killer spin class at lunch. I think the instructor got up on the wrong side of the bed or broke some of his new years resolutions because he ran us ragged! Probably 40% of the ride was out of the saddle pumping as hard as I could... it was as if Dee was chasing me with a tazer. But a great workout to start off the year. No looking back now. For you peanut butter lovers... and cheese lovers... I stole one of my kid's string cheese sticks this morning and brought it to work for an afternoon snack. I AM NOW DIPPING THE STRING CHEESE IN THE PEANUT BUTTER!!! Does it get any better than this?!?!? |

I keep the little tubs of Jiff in my desk for days I don't have time to pack something (which is usually a pbj sandwich.) I have a serious peanut butter problem. Haven't tried with with string cheese...hmmm. |

Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: Tased and Confused (Team 1) - January Challenge Decided I'd run for 30 minutes over lunch - easy pace to see how far I'd get. Wanted to do 4 miles, didn't make it. Mile 1 - 9:04 Mile 2 - 8:56 Mile 3 - 8:48 .37 - 3:10 (machine times out) .45 - 5:01 (cool down) |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: Tased and Confused (Team 1) - January Challenge KOM - 2010-01-04 10:39 PM Oh my. I miss a day or so and I see we are now the Tased and Confused using Carole Ann to stay warm..... We weren't just using Carol Ann. We were burning her. Unfortunately, she melted into a blob, then bubbled and started smoking. Since she's Carol Ann though, I expect her to make a full recovery by next week. She said she might stop by again then. |
