MARCHing Warriors!!!

[dsnyfan21]

Thanks Kate for the wishes...

AFM; Today I did 4 miles in 55min. So looking good for my racewalking coming up 5K. Had negative splits so that was good also. I had to wait til about 11 before I could get outside as it was raining. We really needed some rain so I am not complaining about it, just had to wait around and keep an eye on the satellite for a break in the clouds.
Added in some core work and then some stretching!

Have a great Thursday everyone. (and Jeff, yes I am off from work today.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY

 

[dsnyfan21]

Hey my fellow Warriors! (did I teel you all lately that you are wonderful?, well you ARE!)

Last drop in before I head out to WDW tomorrow to get my gift card for my birthday!! I FINALLY got to go to my favorite place to walk, Mount Trashmore. (called Vista View Park) For those that are familiar it is the one place in my area that actually has a few hills! It is a retired trash hill. When the time changed back the park is now open until 7:30 so I can now make it there after work!!! YEAH!! I love this place because of the trail and the up and down the hill!! A bit of a challenge!!

So, first day back at MT and I did 3.50 miles in 48min 32sec that = 13:53 pace which is my fastest at this park!! I did a few more things while there to add some time!

Have a grea weekend my teammates!!

Racey Tracy, MTG!

Hey everyone- sorry I've been MIA. I really haven't got much done lately. I'm super busy and to go along with that I've been sick the past couple days... blah... I am keeping track of what I have been doing, though.

Just wanted to check in! Hope all is well!

Oh! And Happy Birthday Tracy!

Hi Warriors:

I've been put down with a cold this week, but was feeling better so I got my long run in today. 8.78 miles in 1:55. I also had my first ever case of running road rash; Jack (the German Shepherd) had stopped paying attention somewhere around mile 7 and ran straight into an orange traffic cone! He bounced off, straight into my path, and I tripped over him and landed hard on the sidewalk. Luckily, nothing more than some scraped knees and gravel-filled palms! Jack, of course, is indestructible and was just standing there over me, with a "why are you on the ground?" expression on his face!

I also broke down and ordered the Garmin 305 GPS watch from Amazon yesterday. The nice thing about living in Seattle is that as I was submitting my order to Amazon, the system asked me if I wanted the grocery delivery truck to deliver it today (Sunday) - yes, and also some stir-fry veggies and a gallon of milk, please! lol. Only in Seattle. Of course, because I only ordered it at about 11:00 last night, the earliest available delivery time was 6-7 this evening - so too late for my long run today.... but at least I'll be able to play with it tonight!

'Ohana Monday Mixer

Please join us on the 'Ohana team thread for the Monday Mixer. The Mixer starts here.

There are many reasons why we race. Sometimes it's a way to challenge ourselves. Sometimes it's a strategy to keep ourselves motivated. Sometimes it's a reason to reunite with old friends and meet new ones. And sometimes, just sometimes, it's about the goodies.

This week's question is about those goodies:

What is your favorite medal/t-shirt/race-bag goody, and WHY?

So come on over to 'Ohana. Share with us your favorite pictures and stories. Brag about the bling. If you haven't done a medal-awarding event, tell us about a shirt. If you love a particular expo, we want to know why. And if you're new to races, visit anyway. You can get some ideas for future races and "ooh" and "ahhh" over the pretty, shiny things.

On a more serious note: Two of our 'Ohana cousins, Maria and Richard, could use some extra hugs, well wishes, and PD this week. If you've got the time, please let them know you're thinking of them.

Sarah - Are you doing ok after your spill?? Sorry to hear that you got some road rash. My dog would've looked at me the same way!

My Warrios I am back from WDW and thankful to my peep for the birthday wishes!! THANKS!! You guys are great!me miles on Sunday morning around all of the All Star resorts. Started at Movies as that was where the room was and did a big loop up and around sports and music and back to movies! 4.35 miles!

I have a 4 miler for tomorrow for some speed drills again!!

Have a good Monday evening everyone!

Hi Warriors, I've been kept hostage by the Real Life demons. I'm getting in some basic stuff, not as much as I need. Keep at it everyone. I've at least read and see we are managing to plug away.

 

[Sarah_Rose]

Hi Warriors!

Tracy: Thanks for asking about my dog-related road rash! I'm a little raw today (particularly on my palms, after picking the gravel out) but not so worse for wear. It really could have been much worse - I fell more on my side than my arms or knees, which was a good thing.

I also had my first Bikram (hot) yoga class tonight and.... oh dear god. I feel much more worn out that I ever have from running - the class is 90 minutes in a room over 105 degrees F, and you're pretty much constantly in a posture. I didn't realize that it was possible for a human body to sweat that much! I was just wearing running shorts and a sports bra and I was SOAKED within 10 minutes. And there were a few times when my heart was beating harder than it ever has from running! So I'm definitely logging those 90 minutes, and I think I'll give the class another try this week. I don't really want to go back, but I feel like it's worth another shot now that I know what to expect.

 

[smileyk8]

Sarah really pleased you're not too sore and managed to fall on your side- still sounds pretty hurty tho! Man, hot yoga sounds evil! Good grief you should be able to log double minutes for that

Just a short 2 mile run, stretch and 25mins (0.47miles) swim- totalled 50 mins today. Felt more energetic afterwards than ever.

Keep it up warriors

Man, hot yoga sounds evil! Good grief you should be able to log double minutes for that

It was certainly the least fun work-out that I've had in the recent past. Anything where you spent a good third of the class hoping that you're not going to pass out or vomit (or pass out while vomiting) is not my idea of a good time. I chatted with the girl who was next to me during the class in the changing room and she said that your first time is always miserable, but it gets better once your body learns to deal with the heat. I'm willing to give it one more try, because there are definitely benefits to it: you're able to stretch more completely without straining, because of the heat, and you get in a good full-body cardio and strength workout, without any impact on the joints. I just wish it was less miserable.

Happy Tuesday, Warriors! I'm excited to do my first run with my new Garmin Forerunner, as soon as I get out of this office!

 

[dsnyfan21]

Sarah, Let us know how you like your run with you new Garmi!! I love my garmi and keep her close by!!

I went out for a speed workout of 4miles.
I was ablt to warm up the first miles and did negative spilts!! I felt it was a good walk workout and am now just going to relax a bit until my racewalk on Saturday where I hope to PR my last 5K in which my time was 39min 53 sec.

CARRIE: I stiil have not heard anything from Barb or Princess Shea. I did PM them and got no response. Not sure if we should ask for two new members or not??

Happy Tuesday Warriors!

Hi Warriors!
Sarah, glad you didn't seriously injur yourself. That yoga class sounds intriguing, and insane at the same time. I don't know. I'd like to hear if you go back. It just seems exercising in that kind of heat would not be good for my system.

Tracy, seems like you've got a great routine going.
