BUZZ's Brigade - TEAM CHALLENGE - POST MILES/HOURS HERE

[WDWFAN9]

Hello Buzzies!

I got in a couple of miles on the TM this morning. Usually Sundays are a rest day for me, but I am in training for my own version of a Goofy. I'm doing the Festival 500 half in Indy on May 3rd and the Minnie 15K the next day....so I am taking the MfM schedule, adding a mile to the Sat LSW distance, and then doing half of that at a little bit faster pace on Sun. So far so good!

I hope everyone is well, and for those of us with frigid weather - stay warm.

Hello everyone, We are being hit with lovely lake effect snow. It is quite windy also so the visibility is questionable.

Erin and I went to the gym after sending Lynne on her way back to Maine. I got 67 min in yesterday and 35 min today. Tomorrow I have swimming so that will be another 30 min. Erin is the instigator on going to the gym every day. She will keep me going.

Hope everyone has a productive exercise week. We need to keep recording those minutes and miles.


To infinity and beyond.

Ok Team, I ran my two mile race today. I finished in 23:25! I am very pleased with this time. I was hoping to finish in 30 minutes. When the guy told me 11:40 at mile 1, I started thinking I will finish faster! Then I thought, how great would it be to finish in under 25 minutes. When I rounded the corner towards the finish line and saw 22 minutes on the clock, I was thrilled. I ran with everything I had to the finish line.

Didn't I read somewhere, that I get to count that as double since it was a race? Please correct me if that is wrong.

Kathy V - Annie was wonderful Fri. night and we got a free upgrade! They didn't sell that many tickets for that night and they said that we could sit on the bottom level in the back three rows! We got better seats, and spent less money!

[Maherae]

YES!!! You get to count it as double..for the miles!!! YAY, Sandi/Allie!!!

 

[getnthinr]

Great job, team!

Pat -- Wow, back to back races with a flight thrown into the mix. That's going to be a story to tell! Can't wait for the report!

Anne -- Thanks for cheering us on this weekend -- and always. Thanks for spreading the word about the double miles. That's good news for me -- and bad news for my husband, who would love for me to take a hiatus from all these races (because I never seem to pick the $10 ones ).

Jackie and CynthiaCindy -- Don't fret. I know my mileage tends to flutuate a lot during the year. I do a lot of races, but sometimes the races I do are the only miles I get in that week because of work, kids, church -- LIFE!!!

Sandi AKA Allie -- Great pace and good for you for getting those double miles!!

Chris -- Thanks for all the spreadsheet work.

Space Ranger -- 33 miles! You're quiet but you get the miles in, buddy!

Duane -- 10 miles in one day is a lot for me for non-Goofy training. Good going! I have a stationary bike (a spinner) that I bought used (gotta love Craigslist ) last Nov to help with my tri training (though I won't be doing any tris this year). I gotta drag it out and start logging some miles on it to boost my total.

Karen E -- Thanks for the spreadsheet location!

Kathy V -- Did we do good? We're not on the 2nd page!!!!

Kathy NY-- Swimming! Bless you! That is a chore for me (which is why I'll never be the tri star Lynne is!)

Cam -- Feel better soon!

Jill -- Did you ever find any races near you? I'm glad you posted your question -- I learned some new places to look for races.

Eva -- I didn't even notice the .88, which is why I shouldn't be keeping up with numbers.

I hope I didn't miss anybody! (I'm not too good at this forum stuff -- but I love you anyway! )

 

[CynthiaCindy]

Sandi/Allie - Congrats on beating your projected time by so much!

 

[bjkj]

Great job, team!

Jill -- Did you ever find any races near you? I'm glad you posted your question -- I learned some new places to look for races.

Nope, I haven't had a chance to look. I'll hit that today!

I am glad to see that races count as double. I've never done anything but 1/2 and full marathons. This will inspire me to do some shorter, local races. Yea!

If anyone is interested, Disney is having their semi annual pin sale today! I got 2 Buzz pins and a Goofy pin!

Have a great week everyone!

Good morning fellow team members.

My workout for today is swim lessons tonight. Since I already know how to swim and am just trying to build up endurance, the instructor lets me swim laps. It will be 40 min but I only record 30. That give me time to rest between laps.

Hope everyone has a good day and accomplishes everything they set out to do.

 

[aldisneygrl]

So I want to get this straight so that it is right in my nice spreadsheet. I can count my race as 4 miles in 23:25, right? Just want to keep things clear.

Also, what about seconds? Do we round up to the closest minute or do you want that detailed of info Chris? Just want to make sure I am accurately reporting.

Let's keep moving to Infinity and Beyond!!!!

 

[Maherae]

Yes, Sandi/Allie!! You FLEW!!!

Should have a much better week. DH is gone until Friday, the sun is shining..

To infinity and BEYOND!!

 

[keenercam]

Anne -- your post had me I hope you are feeling better!

Allie -- congratulations on that awesome time!!!

I know we aren't reporting interim minutes & miles here, but I wanted to thank you all for inspiring me to work out last night when I was really burned out and just wanted to retire to bed with a book (or a sandwich! ) Instead, I did 2 Leslie Sansone workouts, keeping me on my feet and active for 70 minutes instead of on my butt in front of the computer or the tv.

Keep up all the great work, everyone!

BTW, did we ever fully complete the roster/introductions for this team? Any chance of editing the first post of this thread to put our team roster listing the screen name/IRL name?

 

[Maherae]

Good grief, Cam!! When I read in one of your posts earlier that you did TWO LS tapes, my mouth dropped!! Fine example you set there!! Now, I'll have to do two in a row. I could see doing one in the morning and one in the evening..but in a row?? I will tell you that the Kick one is one of my favorites. I worried, like Kristi mentioned, that they were not really cross training because of the walking. So, if they included more upper body stuff, I thought that was better. It's like the elliptical..I have a hard time thinking that's cross training..but JB says it is. I'm also following your example to do more core work this year. See what a GREAT influence you are??

OK, team..we, I mean, ya'll did an AWESOME job last week!! Keep up the GREAT work!!

 

[keenercam]

Anne -- You are such a darling! Shhhhh . . . don't tell anyone I pay you to say such sweet things about me. I swear, I couldn't pay for more positivity and encouragement than you give me.

 

[NYcpa]

I made it to my swim class tonight. Seriously thought about not going because of the cold. Hair froze walking from the gym to the car.

Have a great training week.

 

[keenercam]

Good job, Kathy! Here's a huge congratulatory for not only going to the gym in the cold, but having to LEAVE the gym with wet hair! Glad you are making up for my laxness. I didn't get out of work until 7:40 pm, so I dropped some books at the library and came home and ate. and ate. oh, and I just had some fat free chips and pretzels. UGH!!!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Sandi AKA Allie -- Great pace and good for you for getting those double miles!!

Thanks Wendy!

Sandi/Allie - Congrats on beating your projected time by so much!

Thanks Cindy! I was amazed too! I'm feeling it today though. My hips are hurtin' a little. Decided not to run today. Thought rest might be better, plus I've been busy with RL stuff with the kids. High School orientation tomorrow. I can't have a kid that old.

Yes, Sandi/Allie!! You FLEW!!!

Thanks Anne! Yep, just like Buzz....to Infinity and Beyond! or at least to the finish line.

Allie -- congratulations on that awesome time!!!

I know we aren't reporting interim minutes & miles here, but I wanted to thank you all for inspiring me to work out last night when I was really burned out and just wanted to retire to bed with a book (or a sandwich! ) Instead, I did 2 Leslie Sansone workouts, keeping me on my feet and active for 70 minutes instead of on my butt in front of the computer or the tv.

Thanks Cam! I am still amazed that I did it that fast. Great job on the LS workouts. I can't imagine doing two back to back like that. I'd be falling over, or tying myself up in that stretchie band.


Oh, I have to share my excitement! I just got my Memory Triple print from ASI today! It has the pics of me and dd holding hands walking through Dinoland, us running to the finish, and us with our medals. I can't wait to frame it!

Hi everyone!! I am back AND TIRED!! OY!!! Well.. Man oh Man did we do some serious walking!! I am feeling quite Patriotic... I was in Philadephia... FYI! SO.. I wore my pedometer.. soooooo I will be logging those walking miles in!! And tonight was Hard Knock Life Choreography rehearsal.. Man...That choreo is some serious upper body workout.. Maybe I'll teach it to the whole team and we can perform it at the POP meet!!! It will be our form of Cardio!!

Anyway.. I am sooo impressed with everyone's activity level!!! Way to go!!! I am also very happy to see that the health level has gone up also!! YIPPPPEEEE!!

Well.. I am off to do something... I dont' even know where to begin.. I am sooo out of practice with this crazy rehearsal schedule!! My body is in shock!!

Have a great night everyone!

Kathy

 

[aldisneygrl]

Kathy - I've been singing that song all weekend long! The show was phenomenal! The set was amazing! The girl who played Annie was outstanding. I think they had six orphans, didn't you say you have 15? Can't imagine choreographing that many.

 

[MouseDogMom]

I am such a bad team member! I never have time to post, but I am reading and trying to keep up with everyone, I promise. I've worked 9 shifts at one of two concession stands since we got back from WDW (each shift is 4-6 hours and usually follows a full workday), so time for me has been limited. All this to earn money so DD can go on the band trip to NYC in April. What's wrong with this picture?

I've committed to doing a half at the beach on March 8th, so I have to get serious about training. I did 12 miles on Saturday (10 with my group, then an additional 2.5 with the dog when I got home), 1 on Sunday with the dog, then 4 this morning on the TM. I really want to do weights tomorrow morning before work, but since it's 11:30 now and I just home from working concessions for the circus, I have a feeling I'll turn the alarm off and roll back over. No amount of loyalty to the team may be able to overcome this one!

Sandi/Allie - Great job on your race!

Kathy - Great job on the swim. I don't think I'd have been able to get out of the car.

Cam - You had every right to come home and do nothing. Two tapes at one time means you were ahead of the game!

Must go to bed now if I have ANY chance of doing anything productive tomorrow.

Jackie

Good morning team mates. Still cold and snowy here, but it's CNY winter. We were lucky and didn't get the 3 ft of snow people to the north of us got. That would have caused some serious cross training.

Because of the swimming, I did not get in my 45 min on the TM. Will have to do that tonight. I might also have time to finish the binding on my quilting project.

Have a good exercise day and keep moving.

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND.
