Hey Warriors!

I had a great time at the Princess although I didn't get to see my Warriors. After totally oversleeping (my phone's alarm was on vibrate!), I picked up Becky (Lexxiefern) at her hotel and we drove over. By the time we'd parked, people were already heading towards the corrals so we never even made it into the main area. Plus, I was highly distracted by my tiara (which ended up staying on my head just fine). We were trying to break Becky's PR of 2:23. (I didn't tell her my longest run in months was 6 miles ). Even with a bathroom break and some picture breaks, we finished in 2:21!

And as a very last minute addition, I'll be doing the Jacksonville 15k this weekend. We are going to have dinner with one of Ted's friends and his wife and baby. Then the guys are watching the kids the next day while the wives are running. Since the guys actually came up with this plan, I don't know if Melissa expects me to run with her. I'm guessing that since she's literally an Ironman, I'm not going to be keeping up with her unless she takes this one slow... Maybe I'll spot Jim at the start!

So my plan is working- I'm slack about overall miles, but I'm racking up the double point races for the Warriors!

Morning Warriors!

Didn't get here to post yesterday, but I did 3 on Wed and 3 last night. Ran with the running group last night. We started and ended at the yogurt shop and then hung out and ate yogurt afterwards! It was so much fun! We are all hitting Buca tomorrow night to carbo load for the 1/2 on Sunday! Yay! More double miles for the Warriors!

Jen - Congrats on the awesome time! Sorry we missed you that morning - next one.

Michele - way to go getting in the miles - good luck for you 1/2.

I got out before, figured I would see how I felt - well I was COLD!! It was 20 degrees, and the WIND was awful. So, walking felt good - but only did a little over a mile, and then came inside and did 30 minutes of pilates instead. I want the warm weather of FL!!!! Where is Spring?

Hi Warriors!

Between a very hectic trip east over the weekend, and then coming down with a cold early in the week, I haven't been getting nearly in nearly the mileage that I would want. I called in sick for work yesterday and then, after sleeping most of the morning, decided to do 3.3 miles on the treadmill. Backwards, I know. But today, though I felt better than when I woke up yesterday, I went to work and now can't even muster up the energy to go for a short run. Oh well, hopefully with another day of rest I'll be ok for my weekend runs. Just no one tell my boss about me running on my sick day!

Hey everyone-

my life has officially been taken over by this musical. But i'm managing to still get in some jogging and walking. Wednesday I got in a half hour walk- tried to jog but it was cold and my body wasn't having it. Today I had 2 straight hours of dancing for rehearsal. I'm dead now... Hopefully will get a run or something in tomorrow or sat.

 

[Mooshu]

Ran 4 miles with the Nike running group tonight! LOL...Sorry I haven't been putting in the miles the last couple of months, but I haven't been motivated to get out on the road. Hopefully it will kick in soon, because I just signed up for another half marathon, on May 30th.

 

[mkymsehi]

8 1/4 miles as usual.

Have a great Aloha Friday! See you at the water stops.

 

[wtpclc]

Hey all! Miss you! SOrry about beign mIA so much, work is crazy. Just catching up frp a bit while my main program is crashed. Ugh.


Looks like it's done throwing it's fit, so I gotta' go. Miss you all!

 

[tink06]

Hi all.

I did 45 minutes of pilates today - still not liking the cold out there.

Have a great day!

 

[ImMarcik]

I had to take a rest day yesterday. I was exhausted. Today is my normal rest day, so I think I will take that too and should be good as new tomorrow.

Hey Warriors how is everyone. Congrats to all who did the princess marathon. Jeff love the pictures of the race that looks like fun. I love those kind of races. I can't wait til Muddy Buddy. The weather here has been cold and nasty last four days. Oh, well I have been on rest since injured my foot . Finally signed back up at the gym. SHould be able to get in some time at least. Hey Carrie how are ya? Well everyone take care. It is springbreak here. Now only if it will start to feel like spring again. Have a safe weekend and week everyone!!!

 

[dsnyfan21]

Alright all you Warriors!!!
After PR the course and my Half time in general I took some much needed time off from everything!!!
Tonight I started back with a good 35 min with the Wii Fit!! DId some balance work, aerobics, yoga and strength training.
Tommorow a 3-4 mile walk to get my legs and feet back into the "swing" of things!

Have a great weekend everyone...

BTW: MARCIA - girlfriend get your butt out there or you'll have to make me go find my wet noodle that I put in storage!! You have a race coming up right??

Freckles Tracy ( thanks Jeff! )

 

[dsnyfan21]

Yeah I can put some miles down for the team even if it's 3? Oh well, wanted to slowly move back into it! This spring/summer with be 5ks and some 10 ks and some charity walks.

I did a good 10 min of stretching afterwards.

Hope all the Warriors are doing well with there times and miles and everyone is feeling good! If not I will send some Pixie Dust your way!

How did the races go Jim, Erika and Michelle!!!

Yeah, double miles for you guys and the team!!

I was thinking about doing 5-6 miles today, but ended up with 6.20 miles!! Just for my fav team I decided to add the .20!!

Hope all is going well with everyone..

Looks that we have all the time and miles for February because I never heard from Barb (1/2marathonpixie) or PrincessShea. Not sure if they just disappeared or what - I tried to PM them but never heard anything.

SO, my teammates - keep up the good work and the races!! We are doing aweseomely!!!

Back from the race and it went well. This was a family affair, as I ran with my husband and my 8 year old daughter (her first ever!). I can't really say that I ran "with"my husband and he runs a sickening 7:30 pace. So I hung back with my daughter who did SO well. She finished with an 11:23 pace and is so proud. This race didn't have any bling, though, so I am going to give her one of my medals.

Thanks for the support, Warriors!

 

[dsnyfan21]

Yeah Erika!!! That must be a neat experience to run with you DD! And what a nice thing to give her one of your medals!!

Tell her congrats from all the Warriors!! We are proud of her and what a great pace!

Hey warriors!

Well i got home this morning after a weirdly tearful goodbye to my parents yesterday! They're back next week so i'm not quite sure what that was about, think i get on too well with my DMum if that's possible

Anyway, as jet lag's kicked in i thought i'd catch up with you guys.

Stacey very impressed by all of your posts!

Erika great work on your race and your daughter's amazing- i'm with Tracy, tell her a very well well done from your proud warriors.

Tracy leading by example hey? I should expect nothing less, you're a constant inspiration.

carrie it's was good to see you, sorry things are so hectic.

Jeff your 'usual' 8 1/4 miles is staggering!

Marcia i like the sound of rest days too. Hey sometimes a couple of extras are just what's needed.

Marcie for 4 miles, i'm certain you'll get back into it with a target set now.

Roxy what did you do to your foot? Hope it's not too bad!!!! Poorly warriors require all pixie dust!

 

[smileyk8]

Ok so now to me,

Princess 1/2 was amazing, well actually my whole holiday was fab but the race was great. What i truly am staggered by in Disney races is how enthusiastically people cheer- especially WISHers, but everyone. I've never run a race anywhere else where i've felt proud! Anyway, managed to hook up with a lady called Nancy who was also aiming for 2hour mark from mile 8 so we kept each other going til the end. In fairness i asked open ended questions and learned lots about her, whilst i concentrated on breathing! Finish time 1hour 56min 57 secs so was absolutely thrilled. I also have a burning desire to do the full!!!!

I got in 2.5miles on tues and 5.5 on friday whilst still in Disney- need to check up on times off ipod then i'll update spreadsheet. Meant to do a really long run tomorrow but we'll see how i feel after a sleep. Fingers crossed warriors!

How did the races go Jim, Erika and Michelle!!!

I woke up sick with a respiratory infection, so I was a no-show.

Bummer

Between that and the class I was held captive in last week, this has literally been the worst week of training/running I have had in a year.

Well, at least the space shuttle launched safely..............
