Walt's Warriors (Team 7) Miles and Hours

[JimB.]

Jim - I was looking for you. Thought I might have seen you, but that person wasn't shhering for WISHers, so I assumed it wasn't you. You MUST introduce yourself one of these days!!!!

Oh come on............ I was the guy on the bicycle wearing the dark green t-shirt that said "Medical" across the back. How could you miss me ???!!!




Nothing for yesterday, unless fighting a fire counts as cross training............

 

[wtpclc]

Yeah, there was only one of those. I say fighting a fire should most definitely be XT if we can count yard work!

 

[JimB.]

6.35 miles today in 68 minutes, including a 1/2 mile walk in the middle.

It's getting HOT in Florida!!

Carrie:
Thanks for getting the names to the faces in the photo!! I updated it.

I saw JIM many times, but just going by me, not stopping. hehe

 

[JimB.]

Hey, what can I say? I'm a busy guy when on the bike.

I have this tendency to bike "loops". It enables me to keep my eyes on more people.

Sometimes I tend to "zero in" on a few people that look, well..... questionable (as to whether they should actually be there..........). But I also feel a responsibility to cover as much of the field as I can. Sometimes I'll stop for a few minutes, but I'm usually on the move for the most part.

Last weekend I had one runner call me over & ask me to keep my eyes on another runner (whom she did not know) who was looking kinda' pale. That's the kind of things that happen, people looking out for one another. I think it's kinda' cool.

You guys call out to me, I'll respond, but I am usually looking "big picture" rather than individuals. I do not mean to ignore or offend anyone, & hopefully I do not.

Hey Warriors! I'm getting back into things once more and looking forward to getting my act in gear now. Minnie was such fun and getting to meet so many more WISHers was the best!

Jim, I'm one of the group where our favorite Anne picked you out of the biker gang. I tried a photo and all I was able to get that first meet-up was you flying through. I'm going to post once I can get it linked to somewhere that will share that photo.

Kate, have fun at the beach. I love it in Ft. Lauderdale. When we went there we always made it a point to go to the manatee viewing place somewhere near Port St. Lucie. It is near some power plant that they like to hang out at since the water is warmer there at the spillway. I understand that this location is now on their tours. Ft. Lauderdale beach is quite nice.

I've got a busy evening tonight, so will have to see what exercising I can squeeze in, but will do something so I can add to our totals. I've also got to catch up with the mileage report too.

Hi team!!!

So I've been back and trying to catch up at work which has kept me from catching up on the boards.... so every time I get two minutes, I try and read a page here/page there!

I had soooooo much fun at the Minnie!!! Thank you all! Sorry I couldn't make meet, but did get to still meet a lot of WISHers. Carrie, ok, you only scared me a little .... here I was wondering around in my own little world taking in the flowers, and in the background I hear "WISH", first, I think oh - WISH, where??? then I was like "Wait, that's me!!" Yippeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was sooo excited!!!!!!!!!! Very happy I had my visor on! Then a little while later, I ran into Anne, again very cool!!!!!!!!

I do plan on doing a race report (first ever), will hope to get it up before Jan!

The difference on having WISH gear and being a part of this fabulous team (WISH/and warriors) from when I was there Marathon weekend was just so wonderful, I couldn't find the right words to describe it to Jeff, who was back home holding the fort down! BTW, even though he wasn't there, he didn't sleep the night before the 15k either b/c of pre-race jitters!

Ok, Jim - I stopped by a medic on a bike for some biofreeze at yachtclub, don't know if you were part of the duo, and I didn't ask b/c I was too afraid of falling behind pace - so if you were, sorry and HELLO! if you weren't, then never mind!

I'm taking it easy this week, b/c I have this big huge ugly blister on the side/bottom of my heel.... but will be getting back into a groove very soon!!!

Cheers to the Warriors!!!!!!!!!!

Back to work, will check back soon!

 

[wtpclc]

Jim - No ofense at all! You have an important job! I was just rationalizing why I didn't call out to al lbikers asking if they were you!

Barb - Yay for getting back on teh wagon so quickly!

Yay or all our Minnies and their double miles!

Dave - Yay for seeing you more often again!

ROxy - HOly cow, it's like you never missed a step!

Erika - Yay fro your first race! OCngrats!

Susan? We miss you!

Michelle - WOw, you crank out the miles!!!

 

[wtpclc]

Minnie Racers - If oyu did not post your miles and time yet, don't forget to do that.

 

[MiaBanda]

Michelle - WOw, you crank out the miles!!!

Thanks, but you'll take that back after this week! "Life" has gotten in the way of every single one of my scheduled workouts this week. What's up with that??? And tonight has already been sabotaged as well! Here's hoping I don't have my long run pushed aside by something tomorrow!

I was one of the duo!! The guy that actually handed you the biofreeze was Chris B. (no relation), one of the Battalion Chiefs at the Department I work at.

Actually, my fire department usually provides a majority of the Volunteer Bike Medics for the Disney events. The guys in the Blue/Black uniforms are from Reedy Creek (the Disney fire dept), and the guys in the t-shirts are the volunteers.

HELLO back atcha'

Just alittle photo of some Walt's Warriors that were at the Wish meet at POR:

Yeah! Double points for us!!


Top Row (Left to Right), Heather, Rhonda, Tracy (Me)
Bottom Row (Left to Right) Stacey, Lily, Kate, Carrie!!!!!

Lily - that was you that I tried to do a bit of "racing" with during the Minnie 15K!!! Thanks for hanging with me for awhile.

I did 3.10 miles after work getting ready for Saturday. I don't think my shins have gotten there act together after the Minnie. I think I may do some pool work tomorrow and use my foam roller. Time for my walk was 43min0.14sec. Yahoo!!

Have a great evening warriors.

 

[1/2Marathonpixie]

Not much but after a long day I managed 2 miles, 31:33 minutes.

Nice picture ladies!!!!!

 

[wtpclc]

Michelle - I never take compliments back and I never hold it against anyone when life takes over (LTO)!

Tracy - WOw, you are back on teh saddle pretty darn quickly. Way to go!

I did 75 min of the more advanced yoga class last night. WIll do my darndest not to mis the beginner class again!

Yeah!!!!!!!!!! again sorry for not being social, Liz, Jenn and Noah were way ahead and I didn't want to fall too far behind! THANKS for being there!!!!!

 

[hoosmi]

OK kids, I said I was going to start slowing down and working on my walking technique after the Minnie... but you know, really that was an arbitrary decision on my part...

I actually felt great after the Minnie (as opposed to the Goofy- ouch!) So, I think I'll keep running and just slow down the pace as necessary. There's a 5k tomorrow. It's sponsored by a service organization that I dropped out of, so that's a little awkward! I told them I just didn't have enough time because of work and kids, but we all know it was because I couldn't fit their meetings in my running schedule! So maybe they glare at me a little? So what! I'll wear my WISH shirt and glow at them! Plus, double miles!

Looks like everyone's doing great!

Carrie fantastic job doing 75 mins of advanced yoga, i really don't know how you do it!

Barb never speak sadly of a 2 miler- especially after a long day.

Tracy- it's great to see you back at it annd very glad your shins aren't too sore now. Pool work always seems good. I'm now the proud owner of a mega pool noodle i've been using as a foam roller. It's a great look

Jim- 33.8 miles? Whooo!!!! You're a star.

Stacey- it's lovely to read you had a great time at minnie- i can totally see why having the wish gear would make a big difference. Just from the reaction of other runners even

Lily it's great how even though you're rushed off your feet you commit to doing some miles/time for warriers. That's dedication for you! Ft lauderdale is lovely thanks, we had a manatee just by the shoreline of the hotel which apparently is quite rare. Dad said it was probably a robot planted by the staff One more day here then back to the magic for a bit longer

Roxy- fantastic mileage and time- are you finding you're still getting niggles in your foot or is it virtually better now?

Ok for me- i did 3miles on the TM facing the ocean here on weds (35mins) after 30mins swim. So tues 3miles- 65mins total
Today i got up and did 4.2 miles TM in 40mins and then made some sand castles!!!! Oh i love the beach.

total for the week- 191 mins (3hr 11mins) and 25.8miles (wow i love double minne!).
