HERC's Heroes: Beat the Holidays!

[JackTraveler]

Hey y'all,
I'm the new co-captain, Leana has a ton on her plate with work so I volunteered to help out ( and help keep myself accountable haha). Let's report in on Sundays with weekly totals (so for the 1st and 2nd just tell me on the 9th), those days are:
November 9, 16, 23, and 30!
Keep up the great work everyone. Only a couple of months left of 2008, let's stay strong and beat the laziness of the holidays!

Thanks so much for helping Jack Traveller! I most sincerely appreciate it. Keep up the good work team!!!!!

[lenshanem]

Here's my totals for the week (Sorry, I'm posting a couple days early...) -

11.99 miles / 2:11:10
+
warmups & cooldowns
2.00 miles / 40:00

This week:
15.01 miles in 4:47.

Have a great week!:cool1:

[JackTraveler]

9.38 mi for me and 2:23:31 ( that's with 35 min on the elliptical today)

Y'all have a great week!

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

I raced the Last Chance Half Marathon here in Calgary today and finished up with a huge PR! I finished somewhere around 2:07:46 (according to the Garmin), which would be 7:10 faster than my previous PR.

Hope everyone has a great week!

[lenshanem]

Congrats Leana! :woohoo:

[Millenium Mickey]

I'm a little behind in my hours:

Oct 28 - Oct 31: 180 minutes (spin/weights)
Nov 1 - Nov 2: 166 minutes (18.6 miles)
Nov 3 - Nov 9: 340 minutes (3.5 miles + spin/yoga/weights)

My last race of 2008 was Nov 2. It's nice to have a break from running and have time to spin again (which I missed while training for a marathon) and try yoga. My goal is to run a 10-miler once a week to maintain my distance. I really don't like running in cold weather so we'll see how that goes.

It's time to start thinking about 2009. I already paid for the Princess 1/2 so at least I have something to train for after the holidays.

[GirTheGecko]

I did 2.5 miles in a half hour

Also 60 minutes of shoveling

Now, I'm caught up, which is good since I feel like I'm coming down with something :sick:

[JackTraveler]

Hey y'all, sorry about not being around. I had some medical issues and then went to Disney for Thanksgiving but I'm back now!
My november totals ARE:
34.23 mi in 7:26:33

I should have done better but the headache really threw me off. And we ended up driving a lot more so I couldn't run as much last week and I wanted. Oh well!

[MomofCKJ]

Today I did 44 minutes/3.6 miles.

Long run coming up this weekend of 8, that will be the longest I've ever done!

[MomofCKJ]

Due to the ice storm, losing power for a few days and having my kids have 6 no school days in a row for the same reasons my running has slacked.

Today I did 3.1 miles/38.06 minutes.Tomorrow hoping for my 10 miler. I'll go back and post weekly totals for you as well.

Allyson

[MomofCKJ]

Still need to do that 10 miler. Today did 5.5/69.04. On the treadmill, it is far too cold out there for me and very snowy/icy. Our town is not known for good snow removal. With my luck I'd slip and break a bone!


Allyson

[lenshanem]

Definitely don't want to break a bone before the half Allyson!

[cohoe]

Hey Team, finally have the chance to post my totals for Nov.--not very impressive sorry:sad2:

Nov. totals--25 miles and 7 hours

Don't know if I will be able to do much more this year, was hoping to get 1000 miles this year, but on nikeplus it looks like I only have 755 since Nov. 07 looks like I need to step it up in 09:goodvibes .

[lenshanem]

Ran my last LR before the half yesterday with my DH. We ran 12 miles and it went OK, but my right calf is VERY TIGHT! :scared:
