Get Out and Move Turkeys!! Super Goofs November Challenge thread

[hockeygirl]

Just wanted to drop in and say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!

I was going to go to the park and run my 8 miler outside, but I didn't get home until almost 3 and since it gets dark before 5 I knew I wouldn't finish before dark. So, I headed to the gym for 8 miles on the TM...it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be! I ended up doing intervals of running at 10mpm pace for .25 miles, then walking at 13mpm pace for .25 miles...for an average pace of 11:30..which is not bad for me! Anyhow here are the numbers:

8 miles/1 hour, 32 min. plus 10 min stretching.


I feel great afterwards, and funny thing is, I don't really feel that tired..guess that means I am doing well!!!

Suzzanne--love the frame and the medals! I need to get a rod like that to my medals on...great idea!

ksoehrlein--Great job on your sub-10 min mile!! That's awesome!

Mike--Good Luck in the 5k tomorrow!

Maura-Have fun in Pittsburgh!

To everyone else...How's the training going????

Happy Turkey day!!!

Where o where has our fearless leader gone? It's been quite quiet around here without her daily morning inspirations.

I still cannot run. My knee is really taking it's time to heal. I am done with the PT. Insurance only covered so much so Tuesday was the last day. Unfortunately it has been flairing up again- not sure why but i did have some intense riding lessons in the past few days. Almost got dumped over a jump but managed to save myself. I probably twisted it somehow doing that.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday- rode for 2 hours

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are off to the in-laws and my family for dessert. Lucky they live close by to one another.

1.7 miles up to the race

5k (3.1)

1.7 miles back home

Race went fine, except for the walkers who line up at the 7 mpm pace line.

I don't run at 7 mpm, but figured I'd be ahead of a lot of the walkers....not so.

I finished around 27 minutes and change...not anywhere near a PR, but at least I got out there.

icing, stretching, and homemade stuffing on tap for Mikey...Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for all you Goofs and your support as we all work toward healthy lifestyles. Mike, I'm sorry you had to deal with walkers who thought they could keep a 7 mpm pace. Joanne, healing pixie dust for your knee. Did your PT give you home exercises to do?

I did about 3 miles in about 37 minutes. (tech failure, so I'm not exactly sure)

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Maura, another loss for the Lions. Maybe I can get some cheap stuff at the Lions store.

I was hoping for a 5K in December to get me ready for the 1/2 but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I need to get my butt in gear in the next week or so as the numbers on the countdown clock are quickly getting smaller. I'm nervous.

Anyone planning on being at the Wish meet at POP on Friday?

Good morning Goofs! Sorry I left you for a few days. Things got ahead of me here and I had to take some time and get them back in order. Now unfortunately, I am really, really behind on the spreadsheet. I did open it but it was taking sooooo long to load that I had to leave again. DH is gone to a memorial service in CT tomorrow and I think that may be the day I can spend time on the computer. Fingers crossed.

Mike, hang in buddy, things will get better soon.

Joanne, take care of that knee!!

Suzanne, love the frame from RFTT and the curtain rod too!!

Everyone else, great job and keep up the good work. This is last chance workout day for this week. We have only one short month to finish this up strong. Keep working hard toward your fitness goals everyone!!

Suzanne I'll be at the Pop meet--hope to see you there!

Maura

Yeah!! We are staying at POP Friday night but I am waiting until we get closer to decide if I am going to p/u DD at noon from school or have her go the full day. We only live 20 mins away but if she stays the whole day, the bus drops off at 4:40pm, maybe too late for the meet.

Friday update...30 mins bike/5.94 miles


Happy Saturday everyone!!!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We did here, it was a hectic day, but fun. My dad is here from Indianapolis for a couple of days so my fiance and I are hanging out at my sister's house with my dad and stepmom for a couple of days. We will be heading home tonight so I can do my 16 mile LR tomorrow.

I did go out this morning for a 3.5 mile run this morning just to get my legs moving since I haven't run in a few days.

3.5 miles/43 min.

I was doing a r2/w3 interval since I have my LR tomorrow, I wanted to take it easy.

Suzanne--We are staying at POP for hte marathon, and I am planning on coming to the POP meet for a little bit, before we head to our dinner reservations.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
