MARCHing Warriors!!!

[JimB.]

Happy Saturday Warriors............ !!!

It's been a few days, and I have been in a bit of a slump..

I hurt myself in Marine Rescue training at work week before last and it is very painful to walk/run/breathe/eat/sleep/exist............

So mentally I have just not been there. I did get 5 slow miles in today,and will try a bridge run on monday (work tomorrow) and see how that goes.

You
Guys
All
Rock!!

Sarah: I am still hoping that things are going well for the puppy!! I also hope AFM!! I will post it here first to my WARRIOR team. I PR'd the 5K racewalk this morning!! I did 3.10 miles in 38min 19.2sec. for a avg pace of 12:12. It was weird though as they had the racewalkers start with the runners. So I could possible shave off 3 seconds or so from that. It was a very WINDY day over on Pompano Beach and I actually had to lean into the wind at times and hold on to my visor. Oh and BTW, I placed first. Probably should've been second as the other lady racewalker in the area was injured and couldn't participate.
I just got back from a masage and will probably take a nap now.
Thanks for all the well wishes.

Tracy, Congratulations! You were first! Don't discount that. I fixed your statement in the quote. Yes, there is probably someone faster than everyone out there. If they are not in the event, then you win! That's it baby!

Jim, I'm sorry to hear you are hurt. It sounds pretty serious. I hope you mend quickly.

Sarah, I am happy to hear puppy is better. I'm sure Jack will be fine in no time. Glad to hear you are taking a break, and that you know when it is time to do that.

I had a day out in it today. It was beautiful here. I did 5 miles for me then Kirby Dog and I went for 2. Heavenly today.

Princess #2 asked to have pancakes for breakfast. This is what I like to do.

Hey Warriors...

Just tryint to keep tabs with everyone, esp those that don't post very often.

Please get with us and let us know how your doing!! That's what we are hear for!!

I spoke with Carrie during the Princess Half about Barb (1/2 MarathonPixie) and Katie (PrincessShea) as we haven't heard from them, I haven't gotten any updates as to miles all of February and nothing for March. Carrie said she would try to contact Barb, but still haven't heard anything.
I know there are still people coming into the WISH racing team and want to be placed on the smaller teams. I feel that if people have LTO to let us know and then we can decide what to do. However, if we don't hear from you and we try to contact you through PM and email, then I guess it time for a teary goodbye and then we can add someone to our team.
I don't want this to sound mean/harsh or anything - and if anybody has any ideas to let me know. I just think it would be nice to hear from all of you guys from time to time and not just the last day of the month. But whatever works for you all is best for the team.

OK Warriors keep at it only a few more days left in the month and then I will start an APRIL thread.

Went for my second to last long run before boston- so update for you tracy!
I was due to do 19miles, went with a very sneaky friend who i'm doing the marathon with and we did 20.5miles 3 hours 20mins. Oh my goodness, it's just not enjoyable towards the end! Haven't ever run with her, but we chatted until mile 17 so it went quite quickly really. Just another 6 miles to add! Next week upto 21 or 22 then down to 8 before Boston time!

Sarah i know i haven't been on for a few days, but i have been thinking about you and jack. Really pleased he's home- random squishy fluid sounds very weird tho! Oh and we didn't snow in the end, just hail. Scotland did tho!

Lily how's your hip doing. Fingers crossed the shot will make it easier for you to get your teeth into that distance work

Racey Tracy you did brilliantly!!!! That is such a great average and massive credit to you for coming first- i don't care how- you're number one! whooooo.

Jim I hope you're ok, sorry you got hurt. That much pain does not sound good. i can't believe you ran 5 miles..... oh no actually it's jim of course i can. You be careful!

Jeff those pancakes look awesome, i agree you seem like a briliant dad.

Big shout out to everyone else out there

Hi Warriors!

It has been ages since I posted. So sorry! I have been keeping up with my miles, so I will update the spreadsheet soon, too!

I have been in P.A.I.N. and I just can't figure out why. For example, I go out for a regular ol' 4 miler. Nothing taxing or unusual. And then I HURT as though I have never done one ounce of exercise in my entire life. What is that about??? And it has been going on like this for 3 weeks. I can't figure it out.

Today it is pouring rain and I slogged through 6 miles. It wasn't pretty, but it's in the books.

Jim--healing vibes to you!

Kat--WOO HOO on the big 20-miler!

Great job everyone!

 

[dsnyfan21]

Erika: Glad to hear from you but SORRY about the pain thing. Yeah, what is up with that?? Have you changed anything, like shoes or something? I would say if it keeps up you might need to go see a doc. If it doesn't feel right to you and you can't figure out why it has come up then time to go see someone about it. Just don't think you wanna chance it for too long.

Way to go WISHers on your mileage and reps. Kate, way to go on your mileage. Continue to train smart before your race next month.

I did my 12 miles today with the Honolulu Marathon Clinic. About 150 people are showing up consistently.

My first 4 miles were sluggish, the second 5 were good, and the last 3 were a struggle. Hot weather has returned, and so I wogged it back up and over Kahala Avenue and Diamond Head Road. 1:58 total. Not my best run, but I got it done.

Now off to change the oil in the truck, followed by our Girl Scout meeting. (He Deb & Tracy, we're making "Guri-Guri" Ice cream in a coffee can-photos to follow).

 

[jmasgat]

Just popping over to return a shout out to Tracy. My "grovery" shopping went well. I bought 10 acres of orange/grapefruit trees!--Just kidding. Just the usual stuff to keep us going for another week.

While I'm here.....Smileyk8 Will you wear your WISH shirt in Boston? If so, I may be able to find one person I know to cheer for you--DD lives right in Kenmore Square, so you'll be passing very close to her sorority.

Jeff Pancakes, ice cream.....I gotta go eat something.

Have a great week, Warriors!

I have started the new thread for April, but don't post there yet.
Just thought I would get it done as I had the time to do it.

'Ohana Monday Mixer

Wendy posted this on the Lean Meaner thread and her words resonated with me, so I thought I'd pass it along as it serves as the inspiration for this week's mixer.

It feels like Spring in my head-- a time for cleaning out the junk, renewing my resolve, and enjoying all that is beautiful around me. It's a renewed hope thing -- Do you feel that way, too?

So, WISHers, springtime is in the air as well as on the calendar. And even if your neighborhood isn't enjoying springlike weather quite yet, it's fun to plan for that day that's just around the corner. So this week's set of related prompts are...

What outdoor activity (or activities) do you most look forward to in the spring, and why? What is an annual spring tradition for you? How do you enjoy that first, perfect spring day?

Feel free to talk about prepping the bike for the season's first ride or the first run in shorts. But we're also interested in hearing about other activities: gardening, kite-flying, spring cleaning, picnics, roller blading, hiking, and so on.

So tell us your stories. The 'Ohana Monday Mixer starts here.

I just wanted to say hi. I've had to cut back because work is getting pretty grueling, I may not be around much until April 15th.

Hey all!

Just checking in. My life is insane at the moment so I haven't been able to update as much as I would like. I definitely have not been able to get in the mileage this month... With sickness, spring break, and this musical I have really been slacking... But good news is that I have lots of hours of exercise to add! Next month will probably be the same since we go into our long rehearsals and the show then- but after all this is over I am definitely back in WISH mode! Hope all is well!

Tracy- congrats!!!

Jeff- I'm so jealous! I want Mickey pancakes for breakfast!!! haha Actually I would love them right now!

Jim- feel better soon!!!

Kate- that's intense! Keep it up!!!

OH! I just realized I'm 3 posts from 800! Wow!

Kat

Since I am scheduled to have tomorrow off I thought I would post my March totals today:

Miles - 76
Time - 14 hours

 

[tink06]

Hi all!

Just a quick fly by to say hi, and that I'm still here!

to all!

 

[smileyk8]

Erika so sorry you're in pain! Hope you figure it out really soon

While I'm here.....Smileyk8 Will you wear your WISH shirt in Boston? If so, I may be able to find one person I know to cheer for you--DD lives right in Kenmore Square, so you'll be passing very close to her sorority.

Maura yeah i hope to wear my WISH shirt if it's warm enough. I have no idea what the weather's going to be like- any heads up would be very much appreciated.

Did gentle 2.5 miles today, it was almost enjoyable!!! Bit of a niggle towards the front of my foot on the top, but i figured it might be tight laces so will try to loosen for next one.

You're all amazing

 

[dsnyfan21]

Ken: Thanks for swinging by with your miles and times. Really appreciated. Hope that things are going well with you.

Hi Warriors!

I did my last minute 10k on Sunday morning. Finished with a 2 minute PR! Not much...but at least it was something! I think I would have done a lot better had it not been for the allergies kicking in. The trees in the park were all in bloom and we had horrible wind! At times, it looked like yellow rain! Ewwwwwww! I really had to slow down about mile 4.5. It all went down hill from there. So I'm am happy about the 2 minutes!

But the most exciting news is that I got my email yesterday! I got into the Nike's Womens 1/2 in San Francisco in October! I am so excited!!!

If DD's cold is not worse, I am headed to the track tonight for a speed workout with the running group. If anybody needs to work on speed...it sure is me!!!

 

[Roxy]

Michelle congrats on getting into the Nikes women half that is awesome. Just a quick stop by to post March miles and time 129.86 miles in the time of 21 hours and 24 minutes. I am doing the womens Zooma 1/2 marathon this weekend so it should be a blast. Hope everyone is well and keep marching on Warriors. Sorry gotta go busy day!!!
