Triple D's Flying for FREEDOM in July

[bubba73]

Welcome Team to the New thread for the month of July! I love this month! I have a movie quote for everyone. (That is something that we haven't done in a while.)

I will be singing a song of freedom, for all men who want to be free. Free to sail the seven seas. Free to worship as we please. Free to be who we want to be.

Any ideas? Let me know if you think you have the answer.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program. We have started off the year literally with a BANG! Everyone has been doing a fantastic job all year long. Just remember that it isn't always the quantity of how many miles that you do. It's more important about the quality. Just keep moving! That is more than most.

So let's get out there and have a GREAT month! Let's celebrate our Nation's birthday, our freedoms, our time with family and friends but let us also celebrate our personal accomplishments too. Everyone of you are AWESOME!!!! Keep it up and have a terrific month!

Hi Triple Ds, how y'all doing?

This is a good time to remember that our real strength comes from within. There is more to each and every one of us than we can possibly imagine.

Inner Strength. Inner Peace. Inner Beauty. We all have trademarks that a lot of the world doesn't see or don't want to recognize. Most people are "surface" people. They look only at the outside of a person. We know that there are a lot more attributes to people than just the way they look on the outside. Get to know someone. Understand a little about what they think and feel before passing judgment. You can find life-long friends before or without ever seeing them in person. So far, I have done that a lot right here on WISH!!

Thanks Panda!

happy 4th of july everyone!!!!!!!!

 

[Hey Mickey]

Hi, ducks! Happy july --hope everyone had a good 4th! I just got back from my spontaneous post-school road trip with my sons -- took in D.C., St. Augustine, Charleston, even stopped at South of the Border! And of course, capped off with several days at WDW! Thanks for the thumbs up on POFQ -- we really liked it and am now considering staying there in January if its available. Anyhow, lots of fun but not a lot of training. But the weather here is absolutely glorious (nice change from the nonstop rain we had in June), and with only 6 months till the Goofy, I am planning on getting some serious miles in.

Hope everfyone else is doing better then me. And a special for Bryan -- hope everythign works out as smoothly as possible. It is never an easy decision or process.

A fabulour Fourth with family near Branson, MO, but I didn't fit in any workouts so I'm a little low this week.

Gorgeous day here!!!!

Hello 3D's! I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday weekend. I am glad the weather finally cooperated here. Though today I got caught in the rain going home.

My mileage for the past week was just biking, and was 220 miles and the time was 14 hours.

Erica, did you know that Railroad Earth will be coming to NYC in October to play at the Nokia? I hope to see you there

Have a great week, everyone!

Hi, gang...

I know...same song, another verse...my travel schedule is wearing on me!
Then I had a friend come into town, so didn't do any workouts while entertaining her. ugh.

so, I hiked a couple of hours after work one day, and ran one workout earlier this week.
Total 7.8 miles/3.1 hours

Needing some motivation..and for the weather to break a little here in TX. It is so darn hot! Even the outdoor pool last night prob had a water temp in the upper 80s. ugh. At least next week I'll be back in the Pac NW for a bike trip!

(so I will update the spreadsheet late next week---later than usual, that is!)

thanks for your patience with me!

We have covered over 12000 miles!! That rocks!!


and..if anyone knows where some of our missing people are....pm me or something. hopefully they'll start posting again when it gets closer to marathon training?

Ryley...will definitely take you up on that drink.

Hello there Triple D's!!! Looks like we have some missing Ducks! Quack! Quack! (Doing my duck call to get them back! haha) Wait a minute! I have been one of those lost ducks!! I am talking about myself! (Ooopps! Shouldn't have admitted that!)

This week was a bit better for me in the miles department. Yay! I broke 3 digits again!!! I'm sooo happy. Just wish I could get back to where I was last year but that's ok. I am pretty satisfied with the results that I am getting right now so I will keep it up. So here are my totals.

Miles - 110
Hours - 13.75

I have a couple of 5ks coming up and then I am trying to figure out what race will be next. I am VERY eager to make sure that I am at Disney in January but with the situation here at home, it is still up in the air whether or not I will be able to. That makes me sick thinking that I may not be able to make it. I am still trying but I just don't know yet. Hopefully, if I am supposed to be there, it will happen. If not, I will cheer on all of my teammates and friends from a distance and will be there the following year but I am not giving up total hope yet.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I know I will as I am on VACATION!!! YAY! First time I have had more than 2 days off in a row since I was at WDW in January to run. I need this.

hey everyone! I have to catch up and post my last week june times too.... hope you all had a great 4th!

 

[Running Mouse]

I"m back Too Izonz...We don't need AC up here on Cape Cod . I love this summer !! Cool and rainy, perfect for the overheating runner so come on up.
I have not reported since June 28th. I am starting to kick up my long runs for the fall. I am thinking about running the Marshall University Marathon on Nov 1 in WV, has any one done this one ?? love to get some info on it. I have been looking for a flat fast course and marathon guide states this one as a "friendly time". Here is my info.
Running: 43 miles 6.5 hours
Ice Hockey: 3 hours

By the way..I'll be happy to buy my round at WDW !! & Bryan, if I was in your place I would HAVE to run Disney to take my mind of things. Good Luck

PS: How do you access the spreadsheet ?? Tells me I don't have permission.
