TEAM 5: HERC'S HEROES - October Miles and Hours Post Here!

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Hey team! Sorry I've been MIA lately, but I'm swamped at work. I haven't had a chance to update the last few totals for September, but in case you haven't posted yours yet, please let me know.

Keep up the good work guys!

[MomofCKJ]

September stuff:

Mon 9/22- Sun 9/28 Totals
58 minutes, 3.1 miles

Sept 29
3.1 miles 40 minutes

On to October!

Today I ran 3 miles with my neighbor, 40 minutes. The best part was instead of my usual 3R/2W at first we just ran and I thought for sure by 5 minutes or so I'd konk out but I didn't! We ran .9 mile without having to stop and I was so excited! The route today we did had lots of hills and I think I did pretty good. All in all I felt really good when I was finished today!

[GirTheGecko]

I walked two miles and shoveled for 90 minutes. I had a really rotten day at work so I walked home so I could be alone for awhile. Wound up with a blister since my shoes weren't the best.

[Millenium Mickey]

End of September hours:

9/22-9/30: 415 minutes; 26.7 miles

I met my goal of 1800 workout minutes for September. :yay:

10 days to go..........:eek:

[lenshanem]

Hey Leana!

Usually I post my totals by the week, but since we switched over to October mid week I'll just post my totals out separately.

9/30 -
5.00 / 1:01:01 + warmups & cooldowns .50 / 10:00 = 5.50 / 1:11:01

10/1 -
3.62 / 44:00 + warmups & cooldowns .50 / 10:00 = 4.12 / 54:00

10/3 -
4.03 / 48:00 + warmups & cooldowns .50 / 10:00 = 4.53 / 58:00

Thanks!

[thndrmatt]

:woohoo: September totals!

310 Miles

28:33:39 Hours

I dip in mileage and hours for me this month as I was tapering for various races and running them as well. I deploy near the end of this month again so I'm expecting to do a bunch more races prior to that, and then for my Nov and Dec mileage to get heavy again as I get deep into marathon training.

Additionally of that mileage I had races of total distance 31.7 and 31.7 the past two weekends.

Keep up the good work, and yay for cooler temperatures! :woohoo:

[GirTheGecko]

I did another 90 minutes of shoveling, but since my ears are all screwy and a bee stung me on my leg, I'll be taking the night off. Who the heck gets stung in October?! Though, if you need some amusement, imagine me hiking up my pant leg while frantically beating on it meanwhile the dbf is asking weither or not he needs to pull over is. Yes, he pulled over and dealt with said bee and poor gf. I never realized how much bee sting swelled or how painful they were.

My dbf, after I calmed down, said the bee was probably searching for some place warm. Which is incredibly funny since I hardly show up in the thermal camera shot at Test Track.

[wdw4us]

Oh NO Hope... How awful. Same thing happened to me a few years ago while sitting on the deck -by the pool - I had a t-shirt on and shorts, nothing underneath and a bee flew up my sleeve. What do I do??? :confused3 take of the shirt and show the "girls" or freak out. I freaked out, got stung but my girls had remained hidden. :rolleyes1

Yes they do tend to find shelter in warm places. When Mark and I were first married, we had a clothes line to hang laundry. I had hung the sheets out for that nice fresh smell. It was about this time of year and when we brought the sheets in, the bees had attached themselves to the sheets. It was pretty chilly so they were somewhat dormant. Well the warm apartment made them wake up.... Mark is allergic to bees and we had a lot of killing to do that night. That was petty much the last time I hung out laundry in the fall.:laundy:

[GirTheGecko]

My ears are ok, but my head not so much. I was lucky enough to get in this morning to see a doctor. I'm glad everything is all good with my ears. My leg is still very tender to the touch, but the swelling has gone done. I kept a very close eye on it last night during my flannel therapy session with 'Dr. Houdini-man'. After seeing the amount of swelling, I thought I was in for a trip to the ER. There were more frantic moments of "Is that normal?!?" with 'Dr. Nick.'

[MomofCKJ]

Today did 3 miles, 38 minutes. I was supposed to run yesterday but my day just had no time to fit it in so I went today instead.

Allyson :)

[MomofCKJ]

Oct 1-5
6 miles, 78 minutes

Today, Oct 6
3 miles, 40 minutes

[GirTheGecko]

I did a treadmill workout today that was a program outside of my normal workout. I was doing laundry at the dbf's parents, and used their treadmill, opposed to the hamster powered one here. It actually was really hard to do. Between the speeds and incline changing, it got my heart rate up and made me sweat. Normally, I'm not thankful to hit my cool down after such a short distance.

Total: 2.5 miles 30 minutes
45 minutes of shoveling

[Davis'Mom]

HIya!
Well for the last few days Davis has been icky nose sick.
So, totals not that great:
5 miles 54 minutes
150 minutes x-train

Hope everyones training is going well, I must admit I am freaking about gettingin the LONG RUNS!!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!

[GirTheGecko]

Another day of opening, another day of shoveling...

45 more minutes.

[MomofCKJ]

3 miles
40 minutes


Allyson

[GirTheGecko]

Until I started doing this, I didn't realize how much shoveling I do. Cripes, no wonder my sciatic and I got into a fight. Least we're on speaking terms again

Another 45 minutes of shoveling. I should try to make it more of a challenge, but I don't want to hurt myself.

[lenshanem]

For this week -

13.13 miles / 2:34:00
+
warmups & cooldowns
1.50 miles / 30:00
=
14.63 miles / 3:04:00


Rock on Hercs! :rockband:

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Hey team! I finally got the spreadsheet updated for the end of September and beginning of October. I've been in a course the last two weeks and just didn't have time to get to it.

I've updated whoever has posted totals of their weeks for me, but if you've just posted day by day summaries, I'm sorry but I haven't had a chance to add them up. It would help me out immensely if you guys could post a summary total for me as it takes quite a bit of work to scroll through posts and try to add up every individual's stuff. Whatever day you want to post a summary on works for me. The spreadsheet runs for the following intervals if you want to keep up with it that way though:
Week 1 - Oct 1 - 7
Week 2 - Oct 8 - 14
Week 3 - Oct 15 - 21
Week 4 - Oct 22 - 31

Please take a look at the sheet and let me know what I might be missing for you. Thanks guys!!!!!!!!

[MomofCKJ]

Today was 3 miles/34 minutes


Allyson

[GirTheGecko]

I did another 30 minutes of shoveling (they were nice and gave me a mid shift).

I was ordered to get fitted and buy new shoes today. I just have this feeling that they're going to look at my stride and go "You're all screwed up, no wonder you have so many problems."

Trying to gear up for the 5k for the Fallen on Sunday and the wedding the following weekend. This 5k is one of my favorite races. Well run, good cause, and FABULOUS food at the end.

[GirTheGecko]

I did two miles today and 45 minutes worth of shoveling.

[WDWFLgal]

Sunday, I did the Race for the Taste with a co-worker (6.2 miles-86 minutes). It was great to share in his first race. :yay:

Cool! How was the race? I really want to do that race someday.

[MomofCKJ]

3.2 today/ 40 minutes


Allyson

[WDWFLgal]

I've done the RFTT a few times & it's still a lot of fun. I thought the post-race tastings were better than last year...especially the Strawberry Shortcake. YUM! The only thing I didn't enjoy was the high humidity! :scared: Talk about draining your energy.
All in all it's a pretty easy run that I'd recommend doing at least once. The race coupled with the Food & Wine Festival makes for a great weekend.

[disneyrunningnut]

I forgot to post my September totals. Sorry. I ran 279 miles in 40 hours and 34 minutes.

David

[GirTheGecko]

I did another 90 minutes of shoveling.

I'm on vacation next week, dealing with the wedding fun and relaxing, so officially, I will not be shoveling a freaking thing. Can't wait! :cool1:

[lenshanem]

Reporting for this week -


13.25 miles / 2:33:52

warmups & cooldowns

Have a great weekend Hercs! :thumbsup2

[MomofCKJ]

Ran a local 5 mile race for Diabetes this morning, our longest one yet.

Finished in 59:24, I had hoped for an hour or so and am happy with it! DH only beat me by 12 seconds. I also won my age division (there was only one other woman in it!) and scored a blanket to go along with my T-shirt.

One a side note Dick Hoyt was there running it with his son. He is the man who pushes his son in the wheelchair each year in the Boston Marathon. What an inspiration he is and to see him in person was just really, really cool.

Allyson

[GirTheGecko]

I did the Manchester Footrace for the Fallen today, so I can claim 3.1 miles and 44 very cold, miserable minutes times two.

Today, when we left at 9:00ish it was 33 and breezy. Now it's 43 and breezy. I never felt warm, even though we tried to warm up and keep moving. My sciatic gave me some trouble. I was also dangerously close to finishing DL, but it's still better then not finishing at all.

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Congratulations on your races Allyson and Gecko!

[MomofCKJ]

Yesterday's run felt bad, everything hurt, I was cold. Just not good. I need to go get some warmer running gear, it has really turned cold here in the mornings.

Anyways, 2.8 miles/36 minutes

Going for a 5 miler with my neighbor tomorrow and hoping it is better.

Good week for me this week. I finally broke under 11:00 since my surgery and knee injury. Today I ran 4 miles with an average pace of 10:25 and for the week my average pace was 10:52. I'm very happy! :yay:

Have an awesome weekend Hercs! :goodvibes

[MomofCKJ]

Slow but we got the 5 miles in.

5 miles/67 minutes

So very cold out there! Brrrrr!

Allyson

[GirTheGecko]

The wedding has been a bit chaotic. But today we took an out of towner around Salem Mass. Had much fun, and logged some miles. Did about 4 miles on a fabulous fall day.

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Great job team! So far I've got:

Total Time: 26:22:50
Total Dist.: 135.3 Mi

for the month!

[thndrmatt]

For October thus far:
360 Miles
28:42:49

Of that I had local races of 70.3 miles, 13.5 miles, 6.2 miles, and 100 miles.

Probably won't be able to post my results for the rest of the month + Nov and Dec until after the new year but we'll see!

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Great job Matt! What 70.3 event did you do?

[WDWFLgal]

Hey team,

My report for the week of 10/19 - 10/26:

8.5 miles at 2:02:00
TOT race--8.1 miles at 1:47:49

I'm loving the cooler weather! I hope it's like this in January.

[MomofCKJ]

We got a treadmill this weekend. I used it for the first time yesterday. I kept messing up what I was setting it on and had to keep stopping and starting. I worked out for 40 minutes total and on mileage I'll guess at 3 miles. I think its about right.


Allyson

[windwalker]

Hi Heroes, I'm sending you a new team mate, please welcome JackTraveler. He is training for some up coming marathons.

Visiting Panda

[lenshanem]

Hey JackTraveler! :goodvibes

[JackTraveler]

I'm a she, but that's okay, easy mistake to make. :) I haven't run yet this week, but I'll post at the end of the week how I did. Everyone else looks great!

[Millenium Mickey]

October hours (thru 10/27):

59.9 miles - 86.1 including double miles for marathon
1387 minutes

I've been in a bit of a slump since the marathon - not so motivated to go running now that it's getting cold and dark earlier and the fact that I don't have anything to train for. Any similar experiences? I am starting to take spin classes again so I don't lose all of the benefits from training.

[GirTheGecko]

I did another 90 minutes of shoveling.

The wedding chaos has passed. The bride is married and off on her Disneymoon. My feet are still recovering from the evil heels. Note to self: if I ever get married, have the whole thing be 'shoes optional'

[JackTraveler]

1.6 mi today in 15:34 so a 9:38 pace, I usually run a sub 9. That's pretty slow for me, so I'm irritated with that. But the wind was almost to 30 mph. It was miserable out there! And cold. I hate the cold.
PRT tomorrow. :guilty: Wish me luck.

[MomofCKJ]

On the treadmill this afternoon. Still not sure how much I really like it but it is a lot warmer than being outside!
Anyway, I feel like I'm faster when I run outside, is this normal?

36 minutes/2.6 miles


Allyson

[JackTraveler]

Allyson - I run really slowly on treadmills, outdoors is much better for me. I think it's not very normal though. Haha

Here was today for me:
1.5 mi in 13:15, 48 pushups, and 88 situps.
3 mi in 34:27, here's how it looks together:
Today: 4.5/4.5 (49:42)
Weekly: 6.1/12
Tomorrow: 1.5 m Run

[Whistle Pig]

Am I still welcome here? :scared: I joined back in February/March with the best of intentions and quickly disappeared. :sad1: I'm so sorry. My job is crazy from March-November. Could I please come back? Please?

I'm training for the big half marathon in January and would love to be part of the group.

If not I completely understand and will have no ill will...I did this to myself.

Whistle Pig

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Of course you can come back Whistle Pig!

By the way, welcome JackTraveller!

[Whiste Pig]

Thanks for having me back!

10/29: 4 miles 90minutes
10/30: 3 miles 60 minutes

Just getting back into the swing of things.:woohoo:

[JackTraveler]

Thanks for the welcome, Leana!

Ugh ate too much candy tonight. :( And I ran too slow today.
Here's today:
STATS as of 30OCT2008:
Today: 1.6/1.5 (16:10)
Week: 7.7/12 (1:21:26)
Tomorrow: Rest!

Lola

[MomofCKJ]

Just did my furthest ever, 6 miles, with my neighbor. Cold out there, gosh I hate cold.

6 miles/1:22 minutes


I'll tally my week this afternoon for you and post it.

+
warmups & cooldowns
1.50 miles / 30:00
=
14.45 miles / 2:51:06

Just completed my 13 week "starting all over" program this morning and ran my first 10K since my surgery and knee injury!!! :woohoo:
Ran it in 1:07:44, average pace was 10:55. As long as I'm under 11:00 I'm happy! :yay: Hopefully I'll be able to beat my Gobble Jog 10K time from last year after all. (Fingers crossed...) Sunday starts my half marathon training. I'll jump into week 6 of 15.

I'm trying not to think about having to start all over AGAIN after my next surgery in late January, this has been a real mental challenge for me! :scared:

Hope everyone has a fun Halloween! :goodvibes

[cohoe]

I too have been very bad about posting my miles/times.:guilty: I have kept track though so here we go.

Week of 8/15-8/21: 27 miles, 11.5 hours

[windwalker]

Hello Heroes:flower3:

Your Captain needs a hand with keeping the scores posted would someone like to volunteer to be co-captain? The pay is excellent and it comes with a date with Brad Pitt and a vacation is CocoMo.:cloud9:

Ok so maybe I was a little confused about the fringe benefits but your captain does need a hand just let her or me know if you would like to help.

Visiting Panda:hippie:

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Hey team, I did some updating of the spreadsheet. I've been pretty swamped at work so unless you posted a month end or week end summary/total for me I didn't go through the posts to add numbers up for people.

If you see that I'm missing numbers for you could you please let me know what your totals are? Then I'll update the sheet. You can see the spreadsheet here:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=ppYit0DjqjVcAhKsgnZ6hOA&hl=en

Also, would anybody be willing to help out and become a co-captain? Work is just getting busier from here to the end of the year and I'm just not spending that much time on the boards right now. Sorry :( but any help would be appreciated!

[JackTraveler]

October 27-31 - 8.2 mi ( 79:49 min) also total Oct months.
Eeyore I sent you a PM. :)
