Hi Freckles!

[deekaypee]

'Ohana Monday Mixer

I know you're all ea-GEAR to share your knowledge about your favorite clothing, training aids and technical toys, so this week's prompt posted here on the 'Ohana thread is:

Beyond the basics, what's your favorite/most-useful/most loved gear?

Of course, feel free to talk about your favorite shoes, socks, tech shirts or sports bras or other necessities. But I think we'd all like to know about that special something(s) that you've added to your "must have" for training, racing days, or just plain pleasure. For some of you, maybe it's your Garmin. Other, a special brand of sunscreen or a specific brand of water belt? Still others, a strategy for taping your legs and feet or a a favorite tracking website?

Please share your special finds with the rest of us.

Hi Warriors!

Tracy - could you add me and Jeff to the full for January, and we will be there for the FE on Friday too! Thanx.

Went to pilates class this morning, and then attempted the tm, which wasn't pretty, did some arm work too.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hey! See my post below! I'm having trouble with 503 errors on DIS this week and got a double post while trying to reload. Also, the options say "edit/delete post" but I can't for the life of me figure out how to delete the post. But then again, it is bed time.

I'd do a little dance in this place but.... that would be weird.

[Sarah_Rose]

Hey Warriors!

Man, it's gotten HOT here! It's like we skipped right past spring and went straight from winter to summer! I did 2.5 slow and sweaty miles around 9:00 this evening; it was dusk, and it was still too hot to run in anything more than a running skirt and a sports bra!

We also ran a sweaty Great Kilted 5K in 30:04 (about 30 seconds slower than my 5K PR) on Sunday morning. It was toasty, but the beer was cold (yes, at 9:00 in the morning.... it was that kind of 5K) and I got to sweat up a rented kilt. Ugh. We also dressed Jack up in a tartan neck tie (we couldn't find a kilt) and he looked suave enough that we had the organizers fawning over him to take pictures. I'll be quite surprised if he (and possibly James and I) don't end up in the promotional materials for next year's run. Oh yes, we were that cute. Despite the sweat. Anyway, it was a totally fun race, and we ended up sticking around for a couple hours afterwards for the party. Oh, and Jack tried to eat someone's super-tiny chihuahua.... but we figure he can't be blamed for not knowing the difference between a tasty snack and an extremely small dog. Disclaimer: the chihuahua was fine.... Jack realized his mistake as soon as he got within 6 inches of the thing and immediately 3 people (both James and I, as well as the chihuahua's owner) screamed and lunged. I still don't think he really understood why we were so concerned about the noisy, fearless squirrel, though.

It's supposed to be HOT all week, so we'll see how much running I actually get done, and how much time I spend just laying around eating sugar-free popsicles.

8.25 in 1:17, 92 degrees at 5 pm. 300 meters swim followed.

Way to go team on your miles.

Morning Warriors!

Started off June with speed drills at the track. 3 miles later I felt pretty good, so I added on another .5 mile just for good measure!

I have an open water swim planned for after work. I am also supposed to get in a 4 mile run, but not sure about that after my swim. But since it's National Running Day, I will get out there foe at least some mileage!

HAPPY NATIONAL RUNNING DAY WARRIORS!

[Sarah_Rose]

Happy National Running Day, Warriors!

Seattle has a heat advisory today! And, looking at the national weather map, we're the only part of the country that actually has one right now! Which doesn't mean that it's hotter than anywhere else, right now, but it does mean that us pathetic little Northwesters can't take the heat and will all die like snowmen in spring. So, likely no running for me, today, unfortunately.

Anyway, that is my morning update. Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!

Hey everyone- quick drive by.

Jennifer- welcome!

Sarah Rose- nice 5k! Laughing at the image of your group all tartaned out! I thought of you the other day when I had FOUR chihuahuas chase me during one run. Two lived together and are always mean, but the others were random. I obviously need Jack.

As for me, call it 95 miles and 20 hours for May. If I had realized I was so close to 100, I would have tried to squeeze in some more miles! The last few runs I've done have all been in miserable heat. Nothing like running when the heat index is 100!! I think I'm starting to get used to it though- I bring tons of water and my phone, look for shade, and have slowed down a lot. I still don't want to face the treadmill instead.

I did 7 today, and that was even before I knew it was National Running Day.

Oh, and for the Marathon question, I'm not officially signed up yet. I'm leaning towards doing the Princess Half and a few other non-Disney races instead. I'm thinking we will probably do RFTT since it is during Emma's fall break and we can stay longer than our usual one crazy day at the parks schedule... I'm still watching the full percentages though...

Just finished week 2 day 2 of the couch to 5k. It is so hot outside, but I have to work for the next 7 nights except Friday night so no more night exercise for a while!!

Those are some awesome miles and times that everyone has for May

Jennifer

Hey any Warrior that runs/jogs or walks TODAY, please go to this thread and post them for National Run Day!!

How fantastic that you guys have national run day! That's very cool.

I'm carrying on with my aim to do my varied exercise, but I'm afraid that's hitting my miles. To be fair my legs aren't allowed to run too much anyway so maybe it's a good thing. 0.93mile swim on monday, 3.1mile run tues and 1hr spinning weds. Rest/shopping day today! It should be a study day but i've been a bit of geek and have finished that assignment already

Sarah what a brilliant 5km and i love that you all got really dressed up despite the weather! I'm not envious of your heat out there, but being so close to your PB is outstanding!

Jennifer whoop for week 2 day 2. You're doing great.

Michelle you are amazing at doing those speed drills and squeezing extra bit on the end is fab!

Jenfor being so close to 100 anyway! and for getting 7 miles in

Jeff blimey that's hot for 5pm. How do you keep going for 8 milers... oh i forgot i saw your sweaty photo

[smileyk8]

Can someone remind me to log 30 mins of wii ea active workout? I can finally lunge!!!!! It's not pretty but I can almost do it without massive grunts! Pete Sampras eat ur heart out

[Sarah_Rose]

Kate: Congrats on the lunges! I'm also considering this to be me fulfilling my own reminder service. All the rest of the warriors are on their own.

I have... nothing to report. At all. I've decided that I'm not running until the temperature goes below 90. Which is supposed to be... tomorrow. So I figure I should milk a good excuse for being lazy for as long as it lasts, since we don't get a lot of "snow days" here in Seattle.

Saturday is the 20 mile/10 mile (marathon/half marathon) group run for Joints in Motion for the Rock n Roll Seattle marathon. I'm excited; I figure I'll do 12 miles. And then I need to decide if I'm doing the Furry 5K for the Humane Society or the Girls on the Run 5K on Sunday, as they're both at the same time. I'm leaning towards the GotR 5K, because the Furry 5K is a sure thing crowd-drawer... and I spoke to some GotR volunteers at the 5K we did last weekend and we were actually *asked* to bring Jack if we came, because the girls would think he was hilarious.

Anyway, here are some pictures from the Great Kilted Run, as promised:


Look at how huge the kilt makes my hips look!
