How do donuts for team 7 sound? I think you guys have earned it.

Oh yeah, and the organizer told me to tell you guys that Team 3 already won, so you can ease off on the challenge.

Got my workout in as planned...my typical route of 1.91 miles around the local lake (trivia here, did you know the state of Maryland has no naturally occurring lakes?  they are all man made). It was nice and just a hint chilly and overcast...absolutely perfect...how I love the Fall. Glad I chose to start working out now because it makes it so much easier to be out among the fall colors.

Managed to run the whole 2 minutes I was scheduled to run on my couch potato to 5k plan in one shot (last time I did it in 1 minute intervals)...granted I don't know if a pace of 13.33 min/mile really classifies as running, but it was faster than my fast walk...and I definitely have room to improve! But if I keep that pace, I'll be running over a half mile by the end of the month so that seems like progress if all goes as planned.

Hope everyone else had a good workout today if you were scheduled for one.

Got in a great 6km run this morning. 

New rule for me though:  I'm not to begin a run after 6:30am and I'm to be done by 7:30.  It was WAY too hot this morning.

i just ran, i have to log it still, but i did 6.3--i would have liked to do another mile--but lets face it, i was whooped, so i crawled home ok. off to log-land. my legs are tightning up too, so i need some water, and a shower too

ok, that averages out to just under 9 mms!! wow!

and i think i posted the names i liked the best, goalkickers, and kangaroos-or was it boxing kangaroos?

Hello Team Seven!

Attached is your team's spreadsheet.

Your Team Captain is kaqphin aka "Super Cat!"

Each week, your Team Captain will fill out the spreadsheet, marking your progress towards your GOALS.

The "week" will run Saturday to Sunday. (This will allow you to cram in all those weekend sessions!)

I will start a thread called "Nov Challenge Team Leaders Thread." Please post your team's results there by Monday evening each week. (Sunday is fine, if you have them ready. But I figured I'd give you the extra day, in case you need to nag encourage your team to post their results.

To attach a file to a post: While writing a post, look at the bottom of the box. You'll see options to include a signature and enable emoticons. Directly below that is "Attach a file after posting." Check that box. You will then be able to attach your spreadsheet to your post.

If you have questions, or need better instructions about this, feel free to ask. (Contact me via the original November Challenge thread, at the very top of the screen. I won't be checking your thread often, so if you ask me here, I may not see it.... Or, you can always PM me. That'll work, too.)

And most of all..... GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! I hope every one of us meets his/her goals!

Dee

Opening day: 12 mile bike, (40 min) 5k 30:30 8).

Felt great. Almost no lead to my legs on the run at all.
Mile 1 10:00
Mile 2 10:00
Mile 3 9:30 with kick at 8mph.

Ohmygosh a slight increase in endurance and thats 2:30 better than my brick from last week on the run portion. We see how I feel tomorrow.

Welcome to anyone I didn't see post yesterday.

How'd your run go today Alyssa?

Since the "penalty time" is over, it was time to lose the Twinkie. Someone on my team suggested this one as a joke.

So..... Here it is. LOL

Check out my post count now. It's all from setting up the challenge. I am SO sleep deprived. I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. LOL
