BunnyB - 2008-02-01 4:24 PM Name (if you'd rather us call you something than your signin): Melissa, but calling me Bunny is fine, too. What's your goal? 35 miles Are you training for any specific race yet? I have a 5k coming up on Sunday. I'm signed up for another on April 6th. I'd been considering one on Feb. 16, but that looks like it won't happen now since I'll likely be in Tennessee that weekend instead of Detroit. And, most importantly, are you more inspired by lovey messages or would a good kick in the pants suit you better? (We can do either, or both, at your request!) Both, as needed depending on how things on my training log are looking. On a side note, I'll likely be pretty quiet the next couple of days. My brother-in-law was killed in a car accident yesterday and I'm just not feeling very social.

I am so sorry to hear about your BIL, my prayers are with you. And you have every right to be quiet for awhile.

Calling all teammates...we have 3-4 votes in favor of Gingerbread and none opposed...

If'n you don't say something soon, we're going to go with Gingerbread...

Any preferences for the ending -

Men/Women?

(wo)Men?

I'm pretty ambivalent, but will go with whoever squeaks the loudest!

I HEART swimming and I HEART biking. I need to learn to HEAT running. ( I wish I could make my HEART red like you did but I don't know how sorry)



There's an easier way if you have your text editor set right, but I'm an HTML monkey, so I just code it in...

Here's the scoop...

Before the text you want to color, type less-than-symbol, then the word font and then the word color, then the equal-symbol, then the color (e.g., red), then the more-than-symbol....then your text.

After you finish the text you want colored, type the less-than-symbol, then the / symbol, and then the word font and then the more-than-symbol.


It seems more complicated than it is - once you do it once, you'll be a pro.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it.

I like Gingerbread Joggers. At the pace I walk/run, it's definitely more of a jog. LOL

You're welcome, Kristen. I thought the hearts were cute for Valentine's Day. I did the non-glittery version in case Dan didn't want glittery hearts in his log.

Ok, I'm logging out for the day. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'll try and check back in on Sunday afternoon after my 5k.

Hey guys...glad to meet everyone and sorry I haven't really had a chance to read the messages so far (I'm rushing as I have to be at the firehouse for the night in 45 minutes and I haven't started packing up at all!)...here's the scoop on me...

Name (if you'd rather us call you something than your signin): Please call me Kelley...AmbulanceDriver is just entirely too long to type

What's your goal? To not keel over when I try to run? Oh you mean mileage wise...27 miles. I'm doing a run-walk so really I'm gong to actually run a little over half of that (this week I'm up to running half of my 30-minute runs in a pathetic 1 min run/1 min walk interval...but it's the only way I've come to actually kinda sorta maybe like to run).

Are you training for any specific race yet? Nothing too pressing...I'm signed up for two 5Ks simply for the experience. I'm probably doing the NJ state triathlon (since the new triathlete program I just signed up with my club has that as a target race) and then my A race is the Irongirl Columbia race in August...first 5K is in May.

And, most importantly, are you more inspired by lovey messages or would a good kick in the pants suit you better? (We can do either, or both, at your request!) I definitely need both treatments...I'll let you know what you need.

I'm psyched about another challenge. I've been doing these since October I think and every month I've met my goal (barely!). They really help keep me going.

Now, granted, I dropped a very heavy mirror on my big toe today, so I'm going to be coming from behind since I'm going to put off tomorrow's run and see if my toe feels better by Sunday (or is at least not so swollen and red).

I am also ambivolent about these type of things but I will second the motion for Gingerbread Joggers. I just wanted to SOUND really official and everything.

Ambulancedriver...you and me the walk/run combo!!! It is still in the category of running!!! I am finally up to 4 minutes run and 1 walk. Of course it would probably be better if my runs weren't at 10 min mile pace I am a little impatient...if I'm running I want to be RUNNING!!!!

Good morning, team! If your name is on the list above, you are part of team 3. WELCOME! (If your name isn't on the above list, what are you doing lurking in our thread anyhow?)


I lurk everywhere. It's my nature. I try to hijack team threads whenever possible, as well.


My name is Kristen and I am a challenge junky. I HEART challenges and I HEART the folks that run them.

Anyway, enough love - I am your fearless team captain, which thanks to Dee's hard work, requires very little effort on my part. Please enter your miles/time on the spreadsheet when it is provided, but if you have problems, let me know & I'll help out.


And I love people who love me! LOL

I'm going to try to get the team spreadsheets set up this weekend. They'll look like the Jan Challenge ones.

Dee

Done! He's one of you now!

(And no, TinkerBeth couldn't update it. I kept it private. Because, um, I've already seen what people do to their team spreadsheets. And it wasn't always pretty. LOL)

My name is Kathy.

I plan on running 8 hours for this challenge.

Training for Minnie 15K at WDW in May

I am a walker who is trying to put more run segment into my training. Completed the WDW marathon on Jan 13 in 7 hrs 7 min. Would very much like to become faster.

Need all the encouragement I can get to get to the gym and put in the time. Tomorrow start mandatory Saturday work. They continue until April 15. Need to build up slowly as developed shin splints while training for the marathon. Of course I only did the long stuff on weekends.

Yeah, I wanted to mix it up some. So I tried to keep a few people from previous teams together, but I also wanted to mix in new people.

Put it this way - this was one of the teams that I nicknamed "team chatty." LOL (I'll give you a guess which other team(s) had that nickname. If you're not sure, well just look at the current team post counts!)

Who? Me? Am I evil?

Hello everyone, fresh addition to the team here...

My name is Nathalie.

My training goal has been set for 8 hours.

My short term race goal is the Mississauga half-mary on May 11, the longer one is the Muskoka 70.3 Ironman in September, and a few other races in between.

A cross of lovey and butt kicking messages is fine with me.

I wish everyone all the best in reaching their goal this month!
