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

[princessrunner]

Good morning Super Goofs and HAPPY ELECTION DAY. I hope that you all are going to get out there and cast your vote to be part of history!!!!!

As for me, I did my 3 miles yesterday at a 9:50 average pace. I also did weight training for a half hour including abs. Today is 4-5 miles. I am going to try running to our local polling place, voting and then running home. Hopefully I do not run out of time and have to leave to pick up DS7 and his cousin!! I have decided to ramp up my long runs in anticipation of possibly going to WDW in January. Still talking it over with DH but all I get is "you're crazy" which may be true.... He also told me I was crazy last January doing the half. I guess 3 more halves later, he realizes this is a permanent fixture in our home!!.

I am working on redoing my office. I am going bold and painting the walls a deep eggplant color (they are currently a very light green). I have yellow curtains, a white desk and chair and now I need to figure out the rest of the plan. It will, of course, include a curtain rod for my medals as I currently have them in a scrapbook and it is a little puffy with them in there!!! I am trying to reuse the many things that have been deposited in my basement from our friend and my mother so I will have to dig around tomorrow and see what treasures I can find.

Keep on moving and going strong Goofs. Anyone with injuries, heal quickly we miss you!! If we keep going in the direction that we have been, I foresee victory in our future!!!!!!!!! Spreadsheet update for October soon.....

Good morning Goofs.

Its been a crazy 24 hrs here...my FIL passed away early yesterday morning in Ohio. We are planning on traveling into the snow flurry state but are waiting on details. I need details! Anyways, no numbers for yesterday, no 5K this Sunday...but I'm moving forward. I'll post my numbers for today later but then will be MIA for a couple of days.

 

[princessrunner]

Suzanne, and my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Take care and take all the time you need.

Hello Super Goofs! I hope everyone had a nice Election day and didn't have to wait too long on those voting lines. I was lucky and only had to wait about 10 mins, which wasn't so bad, since I know people that had to wait 2 hours!!!!!!

Today, i had to go to a conference and do a presentation. It was a fun day and the presentation was great! Now, I have to prepare my next presentation which I will be doing in two weeks at our state physical education conference. I am excited for it, but I have to get moving on figuring out exactly what I am going to do!

As for my workout, I went to the gym despite being exhausted and got in a 3 miler on the treadmill. I wasn't able to run the whole way, I was just too tired, but I got the miles in so I am happy about that!

3 miles/36 min
15 min stretching

Suzanne--My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To everyone else....Keep up the good work!!!

Suzanne So sorry to hear about your FIL Take care of yourself and family and I hope your trip goes smoothly.

Mike I would be beyond annoyed if I was up that early and then couldn't get my workout in. I guess better safe than sorry, although it just occurred to me that my gym pool has no lifeguard when I swim (which has not been for a while).

I did 4 miles yesterday outdoors--a rare weekday outdoor run, but we had the day off. My knee is starting to bug me again, which is not a good thing.

Today I did an abbreviated XT session so that I could make it to work for a 7 am meeting which then got canceled about 10 minutes in when there wasn't a quorum of people there! So 40 minutes today and 6.5 bike miles.

Suzanne: I guess I responded on the wrong thread! (probably Lean Meaners) I am sorry to hear about your FIL. It's a bad time of year for such a loss. You and your family are in my prayers.

Tuesday totals:

Time: 60 min
Miles: 6.0

I'd have no problem swimming with no lifeguard...which is what I do when open water swimming for triathlons...but the stupid pool doors were locked!!!

Hope your knee feels better in general, and better than both of mine!

forgive me for interrupting your exciting thread, but how do you move a turkey?

 

[Pungodingy]

I believe "we" are the "turkeys" and we need to get out there and move....

 

[Steffwalks]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Thanks for sharing!! But I'm pretty sure there's not a turkey amongst you!

 

[Cruella de mom]

hi all!

6.0 in 58 minutes today. It was perfect running weather.

Suzanne - I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

Mike - DH changed gyms because they did that too him too many times. Our new gym has the pool open 24/7 which is nice for those 3 am workouts dh likes to do. JK

I will likely be doing some of those coming up...

REALLY thinking about a new gym...but this one is literally 200 yards from my house...

Unplanned rest day for me. I woke up with the same cold my coworkers have been sharing amongst themselves. And I missed Sunday's workout as well due to a family emergency that thankfully turned out to be nothing. I feel like a slug!

 

[lynnielou]

Hi Goofs,
2 miles today in 30 minutes

I'm not feeling too good myself. I spent a few days in Atlantic City (only $100 loss). We took a 1.5 hour walk, probably about 3.5 miles. I was training some new people at work and about half way through my throat starting killing me. I took some Zicam about an hour ago, and I live on vitamin C pills, so I hope that will help me.
