Don't FALL, now Hakuna Matata Team!!!

[Steffwalks]

Wow we are quickly approaching FAll, around these parts it's been feeling like fall for a couple weeks, anyway.

As of the last reporting period we have:

8,852.77 miles and 2,435.48 hours!!! Isn't that a fun little statistic??

Reporting dates are:

Sunday, September 7
Sunday, September 14
Sunday, September 21
Wednesday, Septermber 30

We are in second place overall in hours and fourth place in miles. The other teams have over 10,000 miles! But we got the hours we are only behind by 53!

 

[bunnyfoo]

Wow! I still can't believe it's September. Where does the time go?

I still owe you my stats for last week Connie. I doubt it will move us into first but I'm going to try and increase my time and hours for September! I haven't checked out the team pages in forever so I didn't realize how well we were doing. Go Team Hakuna Matata

Hope everyone is doing well and had a great weekend!

Sue - Training is going ok but I think I've been too focused on improving my pace instead of increasing my miles. I haven't been putting my heart into training either - I've only been going for 3 days/week and short runs too. The Scotiabank will be my first half so I guess any time I get will be a PR.

Denise - I picked up a salsa on the weekend made with "ugly" tomatoes! I didn't realize that's what they were at first because the sign said heirloom tomatotes.

Dave - Congrats on a great pace!! And I am very jealous of that DL medal too!

Erica - WTG! 7 inches is fantastic

Good Morning team!!

Wow what a lot of miles and hours and now we’re here in the Fall, my favorite time of year. We have many things coming up for the Lareau household in the next few months. Shower for the DD, Wedding for the DD, a trip to Houston and then off to WDW in Nov for some romantic time for 2. In between all that we will continue to log our miles..

Yes Erica – if I didn’t love red meat or any meat so much I’m sure my skirt would fit – 7 inches is amazing.

Well I am at work so I’ll sign off but in the mean time GO TEAM!

Hi Captain, thanks for getting us started on September.

Fall will mean the end of the heat for a while. We had fall weather this summer and not that it's going on fall we are getting summer heat?? I bet our northern friends are having cooler mornings already.

Scott and Lynn did you get home safe????? Or are you off on another cruise.

Denise the quilt is very nice, it shows that you love doing that stuff.

Have a super evening y'all.

Happy Panda

Is it fall already?!

No run for me today. First day of classes and convocation march in (does that count? lol)

I did however figure out how my training schedule is going to change.
It looks like: Monday run, Tuesday off, Wednesday run, Thursday cross train, Friday run, Saturday off, Sunday long run (starting at 5 miles and increasing .5 to 1 mile a week)
Does this sound like a good schedule to you guys?

WP, training schedule looks good to me! Welcome back to New England and the cooler temps. Although it's suppose to be near 90 on Thursday.

Yes Dave we went out at 4:52 this morning with fog and cool temps but I do love that lower degree - it's perfect for me. We had done our walks over the weekend a bit later and I paid for it all day with a headache - it was too darn hot for me. Mark's knee is bothering him so we took a little longer on the walk so he didn't have more trouble with it and I don't lose my walking partner.

Already Weds, Yeah! Have a great day,it's a beauty here.

Good morning Team!

Things are moving in slow motion at the speed of light, today. Yea, that's a great big oxymoron, but it's so true.

I got a call yesterday afternoon late. I will have a post-op appointment on friday and Surgery on Tuesday, the 9th. So, of course, I am second guessing myself about all of this. I can be such a doofus, sometimes.

I will be needing your help. I won't be able to exercise for at least 10 days, so if you wouldn't mind, could you share a little time and a mile with me?

Don't worry about the duties of the captain, I will be able to perform those without missing a beat! I should be able to type the very next day, since it is arthroscopic surgery and just 3 little tiny incisions.

Thanks!

hug: CONNIE

Can you tell we care about our captain?

[wellesleyprincess]

Hugs Connie! I'm sure everything will be fine.

I went for a 4.25 miler in 35 minutes (8:15 mpm pace). It was a good way to start the morning and it was nice not to have to get up at 6am to beat the heat.

Best,
Jennifer

Just popping in to say hello to everyone! Nothing of import to report today ... the weather has been hot the past few days but it looks like things will be cooling down next week. Ever since I started running, I've turned into someone who loved hot weather into someone who prefers the cool weather. Funny!

Connie - That was fast! I'm surprised that you've got your surgery booked already! Keep us posted!

Scott/Lynn - How was DL? Are you back or still on vacation?

Jen - Your schedule looks good to me but I'm not an expert. I always like to try alternate my running days so that I have an off day or a training day in between. The only exception is the weekend

Denise - I'm glad it's Wednesday too! I'm already looking forward to the weekend!

Take care everyone!!

 

[Goofyin08forErica]

Hi everybody!

Will be walking later on. Just got back from taking my lab to the vet. She has always been a big girl for a lab, and still is at a very muscular 90 lbs

Connie: Not a problem sharing miles with my Captain!! I totally understand
the second guessing over the surgery!

Erica

 

[Goofyin08forErica]

OK....Where is everybody?

I did a hot weepy 10 miler in 1 hr and 28 min!

I hope everybody is doing good!

Erica

 

[Steffwalks]

Erica! OMG! Congratulations. You are a speedy thing on your new feets!

 

[funwalker]

Captain Connie, No Problem sharing my miles! Do you have someone staying with you while your DH is a way on his hunting trip?

Erica - Oh My Gosh!!!! What on Earth did you do -that is WAY FAST Girl!

Supposed to be cooler the rest of this week

 

[windwalker]

Erica is starting to inherit my senile streak. She did her 10 miles in 1 hour and 58 min, not 28 min, which was still pretty darn speedy.

I only had a 4 miler and a little pool running. Oh well at least she isn't laying on her back, in the shade, of an overpass. What is one to do with a princess?

[Goofyin08forErica]

Sorry everybody...

The correct time for my 10 miler is 2 hrs and 28 min! Stilll good for me!

Good cool Rocky Mountain morning! While you all are baking, we've been cooling off rapidly. Temp this morning is 51. One day this week we had a low of 48 and a high of 70! It's supposed to be a little warmer today, but a high tomorrow of the low 60's! I am just hoping that with the cooler weather they will turn off the chiller in my office. I have frozen all summer, even wearing a heavy sweatshirt over my work clothes! It can be hard to type when your fingers are about to freeze right off! We're in a very old building and it's being used differently than what it was originally designed for, so "they say" they can't regulate the temperature. I don't know about "can't", but certainly they don't! Four offices down the hall have been hot, hot all summer.....I'm trying to figure out a way to trade offices by next spring!

Erica, you nearly made me faint, thinking you had done 10 miles in under an hour and a half! I was wondering how in the heck you had managed that! I must say I'm relieved to know it took you a little longer than that, although that's certainly a good speed, too! You're doing so great!

Jen, glad you're getting settled! You've gotten the first step done - The Plan. Always good to have a plan!

Hi, Vicky! Hang in there!

Dave - This dust's for you! You'll do great today!

Denise, fall is my favorite time of year, too! I think......until it's time for winter, then THAT'S my favorite time of year.....until it's time for spring and then....well, you get the idea!

Connie - OF COURSE I'll be glad to share some - or all! - of my workout time with you! I know this will work out great for you! Has to be better than the pain you've endured for all these months!

I am off to water aerobics this morning! Make a great day, everyone!

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning, Team!

Erica!! Excitement is exciting, no matter what!! You still did great!!

Thanks everyone for being so sweet to me. I appreciate it, so much. Once upon a time, I would never have mentioned this surgery much less asked for your help. Thanks!

 

[wdw4us]

OK....Where is everybody?

I did a hot weepy 10 miler in 1 hr and 28 min!

I hope everybody is doing good!

Erica

Holy Crap! I'd like to do 8 miles in that time never mind 10. Way to go!

Edit:


The correct time for my 10 miler is 2 hrs and 28 min! Stilll good for me!

OK, I feel a little better about that corrected time - still 10 miles is 10 miles and a really fast time!
