Ducks Giving Thanks in November

[ahoff]

Bryan, so sorry to hear of your recent losses. Not easy losing friends and family. My condolances to you.

As far reporting time and mileage, my times this week (15th - 21st) was 15 and 1/2 hours, and the mileage was 236. I ran twice this week during lunchtime, and yesterday I did a new type (for me) race. It was an endurance race, where you did as many laps of a 10 mile mountain bike course in 6 hours. I finished 5 laps just under the 6 hours, which allowed me the chance to continue for a 6th lap, but I stopped there. Very tough course, due to recent rain which made the course a bit muddy and the exposed roots were very slick. I was happy with the 50 miles I did. (X 2 for reporting purposes!). Though I was passed many times, my highlight was riding past three riders who had just passed me on the flat, but were walking up a hill. Though one did repass me a few miles later.

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving!

Bryan, I am so sorry for your losses. Life can be pretty tough sometimes.

I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving with family this week. I love that Thanksgiving is all about family and giving thanks, and has not been as commercialized as other holidays.

My totals for week ending 11/21:
390 minutes 23 miles

Bryan...sorry to hear of your losses. No fun, especially since you have had a trying year already.

Ronda...great RR! good for you for hanging in there. I am looking forward to meeting you in January...if you need a running buddy for the 1/2, we may be around the same pace. I take more frequent walk breaks, but we could probably work something out if you want someone to run with. Would like to do the 1/2 in about 2:30 (or thereabouts).

Guys...I sure appreciate the few of you that are hanging in there. Not really sure why people have dropped off, and I haven't really added much around here myself, so I guess I have no room to talk. Please keep posting...I'd like to see the interest ramp up a little before January. I have been on the road so much, it's hard for me to be consistent with keeping up on here. "Only" 3 more trips between now and Christmas, then off to WDW for marathon weekend!

Thanks to travel (got completely stuck last weekend due to weather), my LRs aren't quite where I would like them, but I'm hanging in there.

Week of Nov. 8-14:
16.6 miles running /3:30
core :30
Total 16.6/4:00

Week of Nov. 15-22:
12 miles running/2:45
18 miles bike/ 1:20
core :30

Total 30 miles/4:35

Got a decent LR in today, to start off this next week, which will encompass Nov. 22-30.

Anyone doing any Turkey Trots? We have a local 5 miler that is lots of fun.

Take care and keep those posts coming! I should be more up on it this week (well, except Wed/Thurs).

Betsy, 2:30 sounds perfect. I'm seeing a lot of folks around that pace, too. We're planning to go to the Pop meet. I hope we meet there. Other than looking for that WISH green, how do WISHers find one another at 5:00 a.m.?

For the week that was, Nov 15-22

310 minutes
16 miles

I was looking to see if there are any around here. But I did sign up for the WISH virtual, so I plan on going out and running one way or another.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello Duckies, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! Hard to believe only a bit more than 5 weeks until the big weekend.

Wrapping up November, I had 120 miles and 7 hours, 45 minutes. 12 of those miles are a doubling up of the 6 miles I ran for the WISH virtual TT. A bit of a warmup for the half, I hope.

Have a good week! Welcome to December!

Can't believe there is only 39 days till the half - I am starting to freak out since I STILL don't have a hotel room on site. UGH I am not looking forward to trying to get one and the price I will have to pay.

Lets have a GREAT December Duckies!!

Hey Team! I know I am still running late, like what has been the norm as of late. It is really hard for me to get on as much as I would like too since I don't have my computer anymore and have to rely on friends computers to be able to get on. I did find out that my hard drive was fried so I lost everything that I had on it, including all of my pictures. That is VERY upsetting but it is what happens when we depend on electronics as much as we do.

Miles: 50
Hours: 7

Liz is still doing the same amount as far as I am aware. That would equal to 12 miles per week and 4 hours of training.

I am going to start our December thread right now so we will have a place to post. I do hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Last month of the year is here. Let's make it GREAT!!!

Bryan
