I have updated the totals thru last month in my signature. As a team, we have put in 7344.07 miless in just under 1100 hours!!! That is a phenominal number for only 3 months into this. Everyone is realy putting in a lot of time and effort to set records over last year. I thank you all for all that you do and are doing. You motivate me!


Bryan

PS I will try, this weekend, to do a composite and post what everyone has done individually so far. Thanks again!

 

[MrsPotts]

Glad to see everyone is doing well. Bryan hang in there.

My totals for the week ended 5.7.09 are
10.12 miles
168 minutes

Finally starting to get back some mileage after straining a tendon back in February, did 6 miles today! Lots of stretching and ice afterwards, dang it sucks to get old!

To all the moms, have a great mother's day. To all the husbands, sons, daughters and significant others....DON'T FORGET TOMORROW IS MOTHER'S DAY!!!! Just helping you out a little that's all I'm saying!

Bryan My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi, Gang...

My week:
Race: 0.2 mile swim/11 mile bike/2 mile run = 13.2 miles, doubled is 26.4/1:07 hours

(can I triple them since I won my AG? haha! just kidding!)

Swim: 1.3 miles/1:00
Bike: 19.3 miles/1:20
Run: 6.5 miles/1:00
plus some warmup time before my race of about 18 min.

Totals: 51.3 miles/4:45

Have a good week, everyone...
Feel free to check on the spreadsheet and make sure nothing is too out of whack on there.

Keep moving and keep posting!!

Hello 3D's! And Happy Mother's Day to you Moms! Congratulations on winning your age group, Betsy! I did a duathlon today, and finished 35th out of 160, 2nd in my age group. Also had my best time at this event, 1:03:51. This is my third time doing it. It is a road bike race, though the run is mostly through the woods.

Have a great week, everyone! It will be especially good for me, three days and I am off to DW!

 

[deekaypee]

Bryan: to you. Big

Vic: No training? Are you okay?

Betsy: Thanks for being such a good ambassador for YOUR NEW TEAMMATE:

AUdisneyDad!

Please welcome him warmly and tell him good things about 'Ohana.
I'm sure he'll feel right at home here. You're a great team.

Everyone else: I miss posting here from time to time, but hope my summer schedule will lighten up just a bit so that I can touch base with you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Bryan. Thanks for sending your thoughts to me. I really appreciate it.

I am trying to stay strong but its tough. Tried to go back to work yesterday but could only manage 1/2 hour and I had to leave. Today I stuck it out for the whole day but tomorrow I am taking a half day so I can take my sister to the Dr.

As far as milage I got next to nothing done but did manage to get out for a walk/run with my neice and we did 2.8 miles in about 45 mins so that is all I can report for May 1-7 (I also got out with her on Saturday but that gets reported for the next time period) I can't believe my 12 year old neice fits into my old running shoes - which I am sure were a whole lot better for her to wear walking and running than Converse would have been.

Tricia...hugs to you...be kind to yourself, ok?

Augie...great job on your race! woohoo! Triple D's on the podium!

DKP--thanks...we would love a new person!

AUDisneydad...looking forward to hearing from you.

What we do here is have a smaller group to encourage and support each other in training, fitness, and as you can see, we offer support just as friends, too!
We track our active miles and minutes, and post them 4 times a month, aiming to post for the time periods of Days 1-7, 8-14, 15-21, and 22-end of month. There is a spreadsheet where the weekly, monthly, and year-to-date totals are. Bryan (Bubba73) includes the link at the start of each month's posts. So, count up your training/racing miles for the week, as well as the time spent. You can also count time doing heavy yard work if you wish. If you race, the miles count double, but not the time.

It's not really a contest, only a way to feel inspired and maybe a little accountable. I know for me and for Bryan, knowing that we are going to post it encourages us to get out and train even on the tough days. (hi, Bryan!)

Many of us have done various Disney races, and will be happy to answer any questions!

Cheers!

Hello everyone, I'm Tim "AUdisneyDad". I wanted to thank ironz for making me feel at home already. I will start logging my miles tomorrow.

Hello everyone, I'm Tim "AUdisneyDad". I wanted to thank ironz for making me feel at home already. I will start logging my miles tomorrow.

Tim, Welcome to Triple D's! Glad to have you aboard.

 

[ahoff]

Hello 3D's! I am off to DW tomorrow, so I am reporting my miles early. Total for the 8th to the 14th is 115 miles biking, and 8 miles running. The time is 7 hours and 3 minutes. The 8 running miles and 20 of the biking miles are the doubled race distance.

For the past two days I have been riding my new single speed bike. New to me, it is an old bike I rescued from a dumpster, stripped and rebuilt. It is kind of neat using just the one gear, and it is a little lighter to boot. Can't wait to take it into the city one day and ride around.

Welcome to AUdisney Dad!

Have a good week, everyone!

Bryan, I respect your desire for privacy but rest assured my friend that a good portion of us have had our share of swimming through crap. When we are having problems it can take a toll on our self esteem, we don't love you any less for having rough times.

If you need a caring ear I'm always available as I'm sure a lot of your team is.

Dave

Hello Triple D's and Our Newest Member Tim (Tim, are you a fellow Alabamian or does the AU mean something different? Just curious.) I know I speak for everyone on the team when I say that we are all looking forward to getting to know you better.

Betsy You have been a ROCK for me and the team during my "trials". I can't thank you enough for all of your support, leadership and help.

Tricia You have such a wonderful heart. I know the pain that you must be feeling from all that has happened and yet, you come to me with open arms. I can't thank you enough for that. Truly inspirational!!! (I do hope that you are feeling some better. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday!!)

Debra What can I say Debra? You know that I love you. You were one of the very first ones that took me in back in January. He showed me friendship when you didn't really know me. You supported me as I went by you during your water stop. You have been a truly great friend. I can't thank you enough for that but I will try. Thank you!!

Team I have felt each and every prayer that you have all offered up since my last post. You have all lifted me up during my "down time" and there is no way that I can thank you enough for that either. I think about each and every one of you every single day. I love you all and use you as a motivational tool throughout my life and my workouts. Thank you so much for showing me the love and care that you have.

Dave You have been a good leader, supporter and friend. Your encouraging words, ramble sessions and general friendship to everyone that you come in contact with have made me a stronger, more confident person. If I can emulate your leadership just partially, I would consider myself a HUGE success. Thank you for reaching out to me during my time of self-absorbed pity partyness. It really means a lot.

As for me Things personally are starting to settle and come to a close to a degree. I am expecting to be able to actually open up more pretty soon. Work has been insane! I feel everyday that I am lucky that I have a job and then unfortunate that I have my job because it seems so thankless at times. My customers love me but management always wants more. No matter what you do, they want more. I don't ask for much but give me some appreciation for doing a good job when I do and I will be happy. But yet, that is the state of the country and the economy and I am not going to "preach" on that one. I do, once again, want to thank all of you for everything. It is a wonderful feeling and has made me open my eyes more to a reality that I have not realized for a long time.

I hope all of you are having a wonderful night, day and week. I look forward to reading about all of your results soon!

Thanks everyone!
Bryan

Welcome Tim!!

Team... I'll have to sit down and figure out my numbers for may. I have honestly not been doing much at all (I sound like a broken record. I feel like i've said that a few times already). I haven't really run in a few weeks and workign out at the gym has been almonst non-existant. I think I'm coming out of my funk though so hopefully I'll increase my numbers soon!
