[laxdef69]

Cecelia: Thank you for the encouragement...heat/humidity do work me over badly...I lost 4 lbs on a 7 mile run, and thats after taking in 20 oz of Cytomax during the run!

Lisa: have a wonderful weekend/race, and we'll see you Monday!

Goofs rule...all others drool!

Mike: I slow down in the heat/humidity too. I pushed myself yesterday as it was "only" 3 miles and I still lost 1.5 pounds.

Cecilia: I will be happy if I can run like you and/or Mike!!

Thanks for the happy thoughts everyone. I am headed off for the weekend. Keep sending the fleet feet thoughts.

Hello Super Goofs!!!!

I figured since it is the last day of the month, I need to come on here and give my monthly total for July....and I did notice that we are close to moving up a position so hopefully my miles/times will help!!!! I apologize for not getting on here to post much, I have been really busy!! But I continue to get my workouts in, and I am very excited that a new 24-hour Fitness is opening right down the street from my house, and I JOINED today!!! It opens tomorrow, and I am so excited...it has all the fitness equipment but I am most excited about the POOL!! I am going to start swimming, so that will be extra miles for me!!!

Here is what I have tallied up for the whole month of July (Lisa-this includes what I already posted for the month..so this will be the totals!)

Running Miles: 80 miles/14 hours 22 min ( I think I did that correctly!)

Hockey Games: 8 Games at 1.5 hours apiece=720 minutes of hockey


That is about it!! Hopefully in August I will keep up with my posting!!!

Keep up the good work everyone!!

Only about 10 mins on the treadmill as its almost 2:30am. Walked and jogged for 1/2 mile. Better than nothing I guess.

Happy Friday everyone!

Happy Friday everyone!

Suzanne Anyone who gets on a treadmill at 2:30 in the morning deserves bonus credit!!

I've been crazed at work and tired for the last two days, but hope to duck out early today and go for a swim at the gym. DH is back home after a 2 week business trip to Europe and then in 1 week I'm off to Disney with my DD and sister and family.

Hey Goofs!

I've been a little lazy this week with a slight back problem. My mileage and hours are very little considering I have a half marathon next weekend to prepare for.

Lisa, I'm out of the loop with what all is going on but add me in to the list of your admirers. Your spirit and enthusiasm and support are greatly appreciated. Sorry this is late: GOOD LUCK ON YOUR RACE THIS WEEKEND!!! Maybe this will reach you in spirit.

Cecilia, welcome back! I'm glad your daughter continues to improve.

Beth, I'll admit - I'm not a good communicator at times. I try to add humor in situations to lighten the mood only for it to come back and bite me sometimes. Or, I'll say snarky things but not meaning to be mean but it is taken the wrong way. Sometimes, I'm just better off not saying anything. Lord knows, I've done my share of miscommunicating on the WISH board.

Here's our hours for the week. We have an 8-miler scheduled for tomorrow. The heat index is supposed to reach 115 degrees. I'll either do my miles on the treadmill or early, early morning.

Mike, are you going to do the CDC?

Wednesday, July 30:

Susie: 3 miles, 1 hour

Steve: 3 miles, 1 hour

Thursday, July 31:

Steve: 1 hour

 

[laxdef69]

4 miles, 35:01.

Very fast for me!

9:06
8:22
8:06
9:23

for an 8:45 average

I didn't realize that the CDC was next weekend, I have the Naperville Triathlon to do...

Maybe I can meet up with you folks on Friday night if you are in town!

PM me!

I haven't had a chance to check and see if I'm still part of the team, as I'm coming back off of a long hiatus, but I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things in Aug., so I hope I can still call myself a Super Goof.

The move is over...I officially arrived in Oklahoma last week and still have a house full of boxes, but OKC (Edmond) seems to be a nice place and everyone here seems to be very friendly, so although we didn't know what to expect in coming here, we are pleasantly surprised.

Lisa: I don't fully understand what's going on w/ you and your MIA status, because I haven't been following the posts, but I hope you are not leaving us. For what it's worth...you are an inspiration to all of us, and I personally appreciate your energy and motivation...I don't know how you do it.

Mike - unfortunately, we don't arrive in Chicago until Sat. around noon. I think we're all going to get together to go eat lunch about that time. We'd love to have you meet with us if you are available. Another TRI? WOW!!!! I think I might try to do a sprint next Spring. I don't think I could handle a half-Iron Man.

Shannon - welcome back! And welcome to the heat and humidity of the South. Hope to see you at the OKC Memorial Weekend festivities next April!

Steve: 11 miles, 40 minutes (Bike)

Saturday, Aug. 2:

Susie: 12 miles, 2 hours (8 miles W/R, 4 miles bike)

Hi Goofs!

I am trying to get back into training mode. The heat is killer though!

6.2 miles today in 59:55

Mike - you are amazing! I just wish they would come up with better names for the half ironman and half marathon distances. The half is so completely inappropriate.

Guess what they are building about a quater mile from my house? A new Running Trail!! Eventually it will hook up with the trail I currently do most of my runs on and will be a continous 20 mile trail!!! I cheered the construction guys when I saw them clearing the trail yesterday, they probably think I am insane.

Hi Guys- sorry I was MIA but I was at the Cape for two weeks! I had a blast and I did get some running in. The times and exact dates are lost in the wind but the distances are 3-5-3-7 miles week one the 3-6-3-10 for week two.
Back to training at home
Missed you guys!

Cecilia Good news on your trail. That should be something to look forward to. Hope it's done soon.

I made up for not working out Friday or Thursday by riding today with my DH. Did 26.2 miles in 1:45. Top speed (downhill only) of 35+ mph. Hard to imagine the guys of the TDF maintaing that pace throughout a whole stage.
