Super Goofs Team 4 Miles Challenge

[princessrunner]

Kristi: and that the car thing is over. What an ordeal!

Angie: You are a trooper. Don't count out your half yet. Please, please, please come do Great Bay with us. I will personally stay with you the WHOLE way. Your blisters will be healed by April for sure. I can't believe you started in that mess and there would need to be A LOT of beer at the end for me to have persevered through that!!

Sorry I went MIA. We are in the midst of a "wintery mix" that is turning out to be about 10 inches of snow packed down with lots of rain. Kids home from school. Fortunately, it is my day off and I had "help" cleaning the house. I am sure you all know what I mean!! I did hills last night 2 miles in 22:25 which for me is good. I tried really hard to push up the hills but I am still fighing this upper respiratory garbage. I did them all though and then upper body strength. Still can't believe Trent is gone. He was such an honest person!!

I am putting a shout out to KiMickey and lllovell as I have not heard from KiMickey since 2/1 and lllovell since 2/7. If you are or are not playing any longer please let me know as if you are not, I need to get some replacements for us. I hope that you are just on vacation or taking a break. I hate to lose anyone this early in the game.

Okay, deep breaths, positive thoughts, better week!!!!!!

You can put me down for 60 mins. XT - heading out the door now for yoga.

 

[hockeygirl]

Count me in for another 1.5 hours of XT last night....had another hockey game, at least we won this time!!

I was planning on running today, but the weather here is BAD....rain, rain, and more rain.....lots of flooding, and hard to get around so I will run tomorrow.

Keep up the good work!!

 

[groovygirls]

Angie- count me in for hoping you do Great bay with us. I would be honored to run with you and Princessrunner (wishing I thought of it before).

This week stinks- rose for 1.5 hours yesterday. Wintery mix of snow and ice today- no school for the wee ones and intermittent power outages. Why do I like NH- quick I need reminders. Running group was canceled for tonight too.

I'll make it up somehow!

Stay warm!
Joanne

Good morning team!!

I have everyone up to date to here. We are socked in with ice. Two hour delay for school this morning. Ice, ice and more ice. My driveway is a skating rink...with a hill.

I have a meeting this afternoon which cramps in on my gym time so I will probably end up doing yoga tonight. Not many miles this week but we will try and make up for it next week. I think we should just chalk this week up to bad karma and move on from here.

This is my quote for inspiration. I think it applies most to our Angie right now:

"Most people run a race to see who is the fastest. I run a race to see who has the most guts." -Steve Prefontaine

Angie, you certainly have the guts!!!!!

 

[windwalker]

I managed to squeeze out strength training while watching the Biggest Loser last night.

45 min. - situps, pushups, squats

This Chad typing, didn't realize Kristi was signed in

Ok Kristi you did good now reward yourself with some good high protien power food. I suggest chilli cheese fries with a big chocolate shake. At least order a Meat Lovers Stuffed Crust for a bed time snack.

Helpful Panda

 

[princessrunner]

Oh helpful panda.... When I finished my last bodybuilding competition oh so long ago, I wanted a big old pizza and a mug of beer. We stopped at Pizza Hut on the way home and I got just that. Not a mile later, my body did the "what the heck" thing and I got to retaste everything. Such a vivid image for me, I have not eaten pizza since.

Okay team, yay for me, I just got a reprieve to log off at 9:30 and work later tonight to make up time from taking in my son and the meeting so I get to go to the gym and run!!!!!!

 

[jmasgat]

Happy Valentine's Day all! I did 40 minutes of XT yesterday (not in the pool--I lost my goggles after just 2 uses, grrrr) and today I did 2 miles in 20 minutes, 35 minutes of strength training. Also, finally walked outdoors yesterday and today--it was nice to have a wee bit of sunshine. It always makes winter that much more bearable.

[Pungodingy]

Kristi, hope things have settled down for you, and that only good things are happening now...at least it's not snowing (right now!)

Lisa, are you all over your cold now? I hope you're feeling better! I will keep thinking about the Great Bay, but I wouldn't want to hold anyone back, THANKS so much for offering to stay with me though!!!!

Hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day!!!

2/12
2.47 miles/46 minutes

2/13
2 hours of shoveling heavy wet snow (both cars were stuck in the driveway too)

 

[lllovell]

Hello Fellow Goofs!

I am here and alive and still very much participating.

For me - the totals are not huge this week as work has basically gone from tollerably bad to me thinking of leaving soon. Sorry for being MIA, but I promise I will tell you if I am going to have to drop out so I can be replaced!

Saturday: 30 minutes Curves....2.5 miles walking - 40 minutes
MOnday: 30 minutes Curves
Tuesday: 5 miles - hour and 20....(lord I have to walk faster!)
Wed: nada
Thursday....well- might be a nada day as well.

Emotional things really drain me. I am not enough of an exerciser to feel like working out makes it better. Maybe one day I will get there!

Hope everyone has an excellent Valentine's Day. I saw some goodies my hubby and the kids made for me last night and I can't wait to get home and "open" my present from them. So much better than even a diamond ring!

 

[groovygirls]

Is anyone thinking about the Vermont City Marathon? (5/25/08)
I am thinking about is but am interested in feedback from others.

Oh by the way:

Happy Valentines Day!

 

[princessrunner]

Joanne: I thought about Vermont but opted for Great Bay instead. Kind of late for me to start a full training at this point. It is on my "to do" list though.

Angie: You would NEVER hold me back. I am not doing this race for a PR. I proved to myself I can run a half and I hit the goal I set for myself (under 2:45) so all is good in my world. I am doing this for the killer hills , the joy of moving and the company of friends . Please, please, please do it with us. I am signed up as a runner but I can catch up if need be. Gives me reason to run faster. Besides, by the time the "challenging" hill section hits, I will be ready to walk anyway. You made it 9 in January, 11 in February, you CAN do 13.1 in April. I know you can.

Kristi: Hope today was better. I was going to whine about having to travel 45 minutes to a meeting today one way but I made a quick stop at TJ Maxx and found some awesome Michael Kors jeans so no complaints here.

lllovell: Glad to see you are still with us. Keep moving and just check in once in awhile so your poor nervous captain does not have a breakdown!

I decided it was the elliptical today (mostly cuz the TMs were all taken) so I did 9.5 miles in 60 minutes (YAY ) and I almost made up all the miles I missed this week...almost... The ice is starting to melt and I am now trying to decide if I should shovel the front deck of wait until DH gets home and claim it just came off the roof???!!!

 

[Kristi1357]

Today was better! I overslept and decided to just be "sick."
Thank God today was the one day this week I had someone working with me!
I then slept another 8 hours - think I need it?

groovygirls - I am a half marathon girl. I hope you find someone to do VT with you though!

4 miles

 

[princessrunner]

How funny Kristi, I overslept today too!! Of course, my office is about 10 steps down the hallway and I took my shower while my work downloaded, so, lucky you!!! Me, I am STILL working and have 1 hour and 18 minutes to go, but whose counting????

 

[Kristi1357]

I did it again
I keep posting under Kristi's name
This is MickeyHead (Chad)
I'll try to remember next time.
Yesterday while Kristi was in her yoga class, I ran on the "boring" treadmill and spent some time on the rowing machine and stair stepper. It was nice to row again, I haven't done it since being on the rowing team in college.

3.2 miles 34:13 running
0.1 miles 2:25 rower
10:00 stair stepper
15:00 shoveling "water"
-----------------
3.3 miles 1:02:38 ºoº

 

[MickeyHead]

I'll try to remember to sign in on my name. That's twice now that I have posted under Kristi's name.

Good Morning Everyone -

Three weekends in a row with company is starting to wear my entire family down. Luckily, the meltdowns happened this morning so my house guests didn't have to see it.

I ran 8 miles yesterday. More hills. I realize I should probably not be complaining about hill training to people who live in NH, but I will anyway.

8 miles
1:22

Next week I go back to 4 days a week of training. Computer shopping is no longer going to interfere with my training as I have narrowed down my computer specs and battled out the costs with DH. So now its just a matter of waiting on my birthday to arrive. DH says if I get it before my birthday, I will insist on a "surprise" present for my birthday. - the down side to 20 years together - he knows my tricks.

Cecilia

 

[princessrunner]

Wow, Cecilia, our hubbies should never meet.....

 

[Creativebeth]

Good morning Goofy Group! It looks like everyone is doing well!

Thursday: Time: 2 hours (1 hour TM, 1 hour strength)
Miles: 5

Thanks!

Beth

 

[Pungodingy]

2/14
1 mile/18 minutes (at least it's something...)
30 minutes of shoveling, or trying to, it was a frozen mess!

Great news (well, for me...) 2 of my blisters "came off" last night (no more bubble/skin, just pretty pink new stuff)!

Hope everyone had loving Valentine's Days!

Kristi, you really need to sleep more regularly..have you looked into a school position yet?
