Hey Ducks! Hope everyone had good a good weekend! Mine was very busy, but good, and ended up extending into today. We got a fair amount of ice here Friday and Saturday and with some of it still around in shady neighborhoods, schools were closed today (and are delayed tomorrow). I've got some sick kids, looks like just one of mine will be able to go to school tomorrow.
I did get one run in, on Saturday, on the DREADMILL. I've seen that term used by many, but that's the first time I've used it myself, I believe. I am officially part of that club! It's funny because I did the entire C25K on it last year and really relied on it, thought it was easier than outside, and gradually as the year went on I grew to feel the opposite. Running on the treadmill is harder than outside for me now! But anyway, I had to run on it due to the ice. So I did 3 miles...that's all I could motivate myself to do. No running since then, and probably won't be any until all my kiddos are well again.
CALIFLADY~ Welcome! I hope you're having a wonderful time in WDW!!
Rich~ IF (and that's a big IF) I were to go for the Goofy, it would probably be in 2013 at the earliest. I've got the half next year again, and if I feel motivated to do the full then I'll do that in 2012 at the earliest, and then I would go for Goofy a year or two after that.
But right now I don't have any motivation to do a full. I've only been running for a year and I feel like even when/if I want to do a full, I need to be a runner for a longer period first and get some more halfs under my belt. I think it's a psycological thing...
But you know what else? I kinda don't want to "do it all" within a few years and then it's over, you know? The WDW races, I mean. Once you do the Goofy, what is there to go for? I know you can go for better times, but still, that brand new experience is over. I want the journey leading up to that to last awhile. Know what I mean?
That's great you and your wife did this years trip alone. We also honeymooned in WDW and have not been back alone-yet. Will do it someday!!
Tricia~ Sounds like it was a neat fair, and you got lots of exercise at it! You are right, the weekends are always too fast. Honestly, ALL the time is too fast it seems to me!
Joe~ Way to go on reaching your goal! Enjoy the new shoes. You know I thought about that website and was going to post it for you, glad you found it.
Vic~ Ooo, sorry about the treadmill. If you read my post above we lost ours last fall and bought a cheapy (temporary) replacement. I wish I never needed to use the tm, but sometimes it's just the way it has to be. Good luck deciding what to do with yours.
Augie~ Hope the foot continues to heal. That's great you can do so much biking though! I would love to bike, maybe someday I will buy one and get into it. We used to go biking before we had kids.
Emily~ Way to go on the miles for January! That's great! I bet you will finish in under 30 no problem. I did my first 5K in 28 minutes, and I was not as fast as you! That first race gets the adrenaline a-flowin'!
I think you could totally do a 10K on March 27 too. You are already running 4.5 miles, you only have to add another 1.7! Here's an 8 week plan, and you are already running much more than this calls for:

Betsy & Bryan~ Welcome back!
SamSam~ Yikes, ouch! Wow, let us know what the doc says! Hope you feel better!!
As for the miles tracking thing, I'll do whatever the team decides. It isn't something I would choose to do though, honestly. I keep a running log on my own already. I'm into the social and supportive part of being on a team.
on getting new shoes - that is always a good feeling.
of course you are welcome back. I am not much of a captain but I figured I would step up and try and keep the Ducks together. As far as what we can do to make our team stronger not sure but hopefully you can add your input on what we should do about miles.
