E.V.I.L. Running Reapers - Halloween Run Challenge (Page 2)

Hey all...my name's Walt. Did my first Ironman this year, then thought I took enough time off before starting training for NYC Marathon, but the legs just never really cooperated, plus my motivation has been nil. Finally I determined I need some rest, so after a couple weeks off, I'm getting back with the running. NYC is still a remote possibility...very remote. I've done it a few times before, so it wouldn't be any special deal. If the legs don't hold up, I've decided I'll use the time to do other stuff - swim/eliptical/bike/etc. - so my goal will be in minutes. I know, I know, it's a "running" challenge but I need the motivation to do SOMETHING!

I also expect to post-pad when I can...

Good morning team 

I finally went to the LRS and grabbed a brand new 310XT

I am heading out soon to test it out with a 20 miler run

Review will come later

Off for what I hope will be a double digit run in the rain. Depending how this goes will determine whether I run the Half Marathon in Central Park next week.

Back from my 20 miler

Ouch I was in pain by the end

I guess better have that pain now than during my marathon ...

Now that I won't have pain during the mary though

The 310 is awesome BTW

I especially love the fact that you can put it on vibrate instead of beeping

Nice for those days where you run with others

Or when there's a ton of noise and you miss a beep

But the run was not any easier though, even with the new watch

So you like the 310?? I am thinking of getting it, have never had a Garmin, and  worry that it is too big to fit on my wrist!

My post count has also suffered dramatically since going challengeless for the past several months.

I am Kathy and joined BT just over a year ago.  My first challenge was in October-Go Monsters!

While drinking Cosmos and posting on the December 08 Vixen thread I committed to running my first half marathon- it was definitely the vodka talking but I did it any way.  I am planning to run that half again in late February and want to train well.  I hope to lower my time and avoid the ITB issue that cropped up last year at the 10 mile mark.

I also did my first tri in 5 years this summer.  The cranberry oly in Lakeville MA.   I am thinking of going for a HIM in 2010.  That will depend on how my running goes.

I think we need a team name that has the initials E.V.I.L.
