September Ducks are Flying Towards Fall

[bubba73]

Here is a quick "flyby" as I wanted to get the new thread started before I head into work. I will plan on coming by this evening and editing this post.

Looking forward to a GREAT month!!!

Yay! We're flying! I like the title, Brian! And you better start posting more. I've been missing you.

 

[SamSam]

Wahoo, we're the Flying Ducks; I've always wanted to fly.
24 more days and I'll be having fun in the sun!

SamSam...you going to WDW? I need a Disney fix, but no time available until January, I'm afraid.

How's everyone's week going?
Anyone with fun plans for the Labor Day weekend?

I'll be travelling home from work, but hope to have a strong week of training ahead. Had a good run two nights ago. Trying to take it easy on my shoulder that I think I re-injured. Will bike and run tonight and run on Saturday.

Anyone heard from Kira, Liz, Cohoe, Blizzard? I am missing them!!
Or Brian for that matter...he used to post alot. Let's get our page active!

Happy Thursday, y'all!

Hopefully get to the beach! I also am entered in a duathlon on Sunday in Central Park.

What do you do that you seem to be always traveling? Where do you travel too? I used to travel quite a bit but have not in a good while. I sort of miss it, and I was lucky to bring my bike with me almost every trip.

Seems like it is more missing than just those four, or have we lost some people?

Happy Thursday, y'all!

And have a good weekend, everyone!

I'll be working the Cleveland Air show for my DD as a funraiser for the band. The nice thing is we get free tickets for Sunday or Monday. I can't wait to see so many of you at Marathon weekend. Rich

Hi everyone! I can't belive it's Sept already! YikeS!!!

SamSam...are you heading to Disney in 24 days? I am too!

Betsy Liz has taken a step back as far as posting due to a lot of stress right now with her job. She knows that she has one but has know idea what it will be consisting of as of yet. I have told her to send me her totals and I would get them to you. As soon as that happens, I will let you know. I also know Kira is over on Facebook a lot. I will see if I can get a hold of her over there and see if she is coming back. And me, I am here. I am not leaving. I need to leave as it is time for me to go to work. Don't need to be late. haha! But I will let you know what we need to do with those as soon as possible. Maybe the others we can send a PM to and see what's up.


Thanks for all of your efforts!
Bryan

Hello everyone! Just stopping in with a little announcement:

If anyone missed out on the WISH shirt order, why not get a hat or visor to show your WiSH racing team pride?!!! Please see the link in my siggy below. I need a min of 36 items and I have 17 so far.


Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.....

SamSam...you going to WDW? I need a Disney fix, but no time available until January, I'm afraid.

Are you going in January for Marathon Weekend? I'll be there then too!

I could use one too, but will be down next month for the ToT

Wish I could stay for TOT, but we leave on the 18th.

SamSam...are you heading to Disney in 24 days? I am too!

Are you doing any races? DH and I are doing Expedition Everest Challenge.

Sadly no I arrive on the 26th and I think the logistics of everything will make it completely impossible!

That's too bad. I'll be thinking of you while we (and the rest of our team) as DH and I make our way through the obstacle course.

 

[ahoff]

That race sounds like fun! I was thinking of doing that, but opted for the ToT. And good thing, this is the last time they will do it.

Have fun!

Hello Ducks, hope everyone had a good weekend! The long weekend is over, it's back to work tomorrow. Here are my miles for the week, Sept 1-7. I have 12 hours, and 197 miles. Some of the miles are from a race I did yesteday, it was a duathlon in Central Park, run 2 miles, bike two laps for 12, and run another 2. It was well organized, with 5 split times, and it showed that I did miserably in one of the transitions, I have to learn to tie my shoes! Or get bike shoes with velcro. This was the first time I used speedlaces on my running shoes, and they worked great, but the first transition took over a minute longer. The lost minute would not have placed me, I got fourth in my age group, and the third-placer had almost a two minute better time. I did finish 79th overall, but my biking time was 26th, so I am happy with that.

Have a good week, and keep running! January is not that far away.

Hey Triple D's! I still can't believe we're almost in Fall! Wow, where does the time go (showing my age here, time does move faster every year).

Not a great week for workouts as I had to be 'out of town' for a couple of days with no time for working out.
My totals for week ending 9-7-09:
295 minutes 16 miles

Ugh, I totally agree that time flies way too fast. I feel that we didn't even have a summer!

Hello Duckies - I am reporting in my miles for Sept 1-7 - 12 miles and 177 minutes.

This week starts my official Goofy training although I have been easing into back to back runs on the weekend. Just did my first back to back of decent miles. I was lazy on Saturday and didn't do my run but that only meant I had to do it Sunday and Monday. I was scheduled for 3.5 miles but ended up doing 4 miles and then the next day scheduled for 7 but only managed 6. I could really feel the legs yelling at me but I am hoping with training that will go away before January. I am also dealing with an arch problem - most likely PF so I am trying not to aggrevate that too much. Not sure why it is bothering me now and didn't bother me one bit last year. Oh well I got to get going to work. TTYL

 

[disneygirlinnj]

I finally a full week at the gym AND running!! Happy dance!

Sept 1-7th:
Miles: 31
Minutes: 497

I ran my first 10 miles yesterday and was very happy with it. My quads got REALLY tight the last mile or so. Felt pretty good afterwards but I'm thinking playing a Par 3 with my dad right after didn't really help. By the end of the night my knees and feet were pretty sore so I iced before I went to bed.
