Hey Warriors!

Life is a bit crazy right now; I never realized how much was involved with getting married on the opposite side of the continent! And road tripping there... with a dog. And running a half marathon right before I leave.

Did the 10 mile "long run" of the Joints in Motion's training program with the group on Saturday morning in about 2 hours. I say "long" in quotations because I did my long run of 14 miles a couple weeks ago, but oh well, the longest run I did before the Disney Half was 9 miles because of horrible weather, and I survived.

4 miles in the almost dusk heat, today, with Jack in tow.

I'm trying to convince James that we should do the Disneyland Half Marathon in September; it's not going well, even though I've worked it out so that we could go Friday evening-Monday so he wouldn't have to take time off work, and for less than $800 out of pocket (using our Disney Visa rewards for park passes.... I know, we'd use them for our Marathon Weekend trip in January anyway, but shhhhh.... don't tell him!). He's not being convinced. Even though my birthday is a few days later and I think it would make a great birthday present. I'd just go without him but..... I'm already planning on doing that for most of the January trip, so.... no dice.

And speaking of money, I'm only $78 away from my fundraising goal for the Rock n Roll Seattle Half Marathon with the Joints in Motion Training Team..... so if anyone happens to find any spare change hiding in their sofas.... the link is in my sig.

Thanks for all the birthday WISHes everyone.

I cranked out my typical 8.25 miles in the heat of the afternoon. Showered at the beachpark, and met up with my family for a great dinner at Aloha Tower Marketplace.


Bonus, we got to tour the Columbia Tall ship in port, called the Gloria. Very cool to meet sailors from Columbia, and show us their ship at sunset.

I know I sent mine on FB........

But.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF!!!!!!!

Hope you had a great day!!

Good morning Warriors

Happy Birthday Jeff!!! Sorry this comes late. Hope you had a wonderful birthday.

I've had a hectic couple of days sorry! My boyfriend's had interviews for a new teaching job, we'll know on thurs; I've been accepted onto a Sports and Exercise Psychology Masters and also had my gym instructor training regime in the post. Lily it's basically the entry level qualification that would allow me to support people getting into exercise at a gym. So cardio instruction, resistance and weight work. It's about 6 weeks of home study then a weekend practical and assessment. Ooooh! very exciting and different.

Oh and i have flown back from Florida alone- did it last time as my parents stayed out for a week longer when I did the half. She's just very protective and doesn't want me to be lonely i think. I'm sure she wants the trip too, especially with me spending more time with my boyfriend. Whatever makes her happy

Jeff sounds like you had a brilliant day. How awesome seeing sailors from columbia.

Sarah lots of luck for convincing James, you can always make a good reason for a disney trip and especially as it's your birthday! We could start a warrior petition!

Kat well done for doing a fab audition, even tho no space for you quite yet. So how does that work? Do you have to re-audition or will they hold you on file?

Tracy thanks again for all your hard work and motivating words!

Stacey It'll be so lovely to see you too! Keep hitting the classes- i've only just realised how motivating they are

Michelle now that's what i call smashing a PB 22 mins!!!! Hope you're very proud of yourself. All that hard work is definitely paying off

 

[dsnyfan21]

Sarah: I'll go along with any petition to get you to a park, any!! really!! I am all for it at any time!!

Kate: Your new direction with you masters sounds very interesting and I can't wait to hear all about it as it progresses.

Michelle: Way to go on that Tri!! You rocked it and the progress is showing!!

I borrowed these photos off of the Honolulu Advertiser website. I'll post my personal photos later.

This was really neat to go aboard. ARC Gloria, a Naval training ship from Columbia.

 

[mkymsehi]

Happy King Kamehameha Day everyone. Enjoy your Thursday day off like me. What? You don't get the day off?

 

[Mooshu]

Helloooo Warriors ~

Michelle - nice PR!!! 22 minutes, you rocked it! All that speed work on the track has paid off!

Kate - you'll soon be a certified PT and we'll be able to ask you all of our training questions. Sounds like a great program

Tracy - How's your ankle feeling and how is the push up's going? I have to get back on track with those now that I'm home.

Lily - Good luck with the training for Seattle, I wish I was able to join you guys.

Kat - There will always be another audtions, I'm sure there's a spot for you somewhere.

Jim B. - You would have appreciated the FAST riders last week, I asked the first few that arrived into camp daily and they averaged 18 - 21 mph. They finished both 100 mile days in 5 - 5.5 hours. CRAZY FAST!

AFM - my life in a nut shell last week....Got up 4:30am, waited in line for the Porta potty, waited in line for breakfast, packed up tent and gear, got to bike parking by 5:45am, passed out water, route sheets.

Packed up the bike parking area (we parked 2200 bikes daily) into 2 trucks, took a bus to the next location, unloaded the trucks, set up bike parking and secured it with snow fencing. By this time riders were already arriving, so we greeted riders in and made sure there was enough water, powerade and space on each rack to fit all the bikes. Done by 7:30pm Whew. I'll post pictures when I get them organized, but the bars to hang the bikes weighed about 15 pounds each...what a workout! and we lifted them twice daily.

Hi Warriors!

Marcia, wow that is some XT with all that schlepping.

Kate, that is quite an interesting Masters course. I'm intrigued. I hope you enjoy the course...it would make the whole thing much more palatable.

Sarah, oh that would be so fun that you could do DL. I do hope he caves and you get to play there. You are much closer than I to that event.
Congrats on your fundraising ability.

Mia, great report on the tri. You are amazing.

I got in a bit again today. It was a beautiful perfect day for me out there.

 

[dsnyfan21]

Ankle is doing fine, thanks for asking everyone!! you guys rock!

I am able to walk on it and do a bit of jogging, Today feels good, so I will let you know after I do my 4 miles after work.

Marcia: I am on Week 2 Day 2 tomorrow, doing pretty good!!

Tracy

Happy Thursday Warriors!

Glad to hear the ankle is on the mend Tracy!

We were back out at the lake for another 1/2 mile open swim. I was having a major problem with my left calf in the water. It kept cramping up on me. I stopped using my legs completely as I swam, but I felt like I had my rudder down or something because everytime it would cramp up I had to flex my foot. It was weird. Oh well. Should have gone out for a run after that, but I was done and really needed to get home to do laundry for the trip.

We will be headed to Boise tonight for DH's Ironman 70.3. I am hoping to still be able to check in, but just in case, have a great weekend everyone!

 

[hoosmi]

Hey kids-

Not much to report. Still hot, still running. Just realized I've run over 55 miles this month already- how crazy is that?!

I've had a few anxiety dreams lately- of the lost and wandering in circles variety (usually lost trying to find various park entrances at Disney )I finally clued in- I've been running with my Garmin, and trying to stay in the shade, so pretty much every run feels like I'm wandering in circles!

Glad to see everyone is doing well, and happy birthday to Jeff!

Happy Aloha Friday everyone.

10 miles, 1:32 for me. Up and over, and back on the road fronting Diamond Head Crater.

Will be biking on Friday after work. 24 miles on tap.

It has been a while since I have been on the computer. I have been busy with work and working around the house. I have also managed to hurt my ankle. Don't know how, but it only hurts when I run. I have given it a few days to get better so I guess I will call the Dr. on Monday. We had started week 3 of the c25k program and have not progressed this week. Maybe it will be better next week!

Check here for last year's photos.

My WISH video to give you a better idea of the weekend of fun.

http://video.yahoo.com/watch/4438251/11897425


POP Century Food Court, Friday night at 4:30 pm. Meet all your "imaginary friends" live, and in person.

Walt's Warriors will likely do a team photo at 4 pm, according to Racey Tracy.

Thanks - that looks like a lot of fun. Your video was really cool too!

So we had a great time at the tri for fun and like I said, are now getting ready for Boise next weekend. Hmmm...I'm really liking this tri thing. Maybe next year I can do the Ironman with the DH! (Did I really just say that???)

Congratulation!! Sounds like fun!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Jennifer

 

[mkymsehi]

I intended to ride 24 miles on Friday, before realizing I had errands to tend to, and a dinner with a visiting friend from out of town. Oh well.

Rode 12:77 this morning, with two segments of hill work.

Now we're off to the waterpark.

Have a great Saturday everyone.

 

[smileyk8]

hey warriors, quick fly by after going to a lovely wedding this weekend. Squeezed in 6.01 miles in 52 mins on friday and it felt ok! Popped an extra 10mins for stretching too. Not long til me and my boyfriend run our first 10k together!!!! yay.

Hope you're all doing ok. Will catch up properly next week

Hey warriors! I am seriously recommitting to posting here at least every few days. I swear! I ran a 5k friday night. Here is a little report and some pics.
I have been continually updating the spreadsheet with my miles and time. I am deciding on a couple more races for the summer, possibly a half at the end of August in NH. For now, put me down for the Dunedin 5k Midnight Run on July 3rd. Should be a good one, since it is at night and they have luminaries on the course.

Hey all,

Race went well considering the freaking temperature was 95 in the sun. Finished in 37 minutes, which is my worst time since last summer, but I can't be too mad about it. I am just used to seeing my time in the 33's for a 5k. I talked to some super nice ladies before the race, they wanted to know where I got my bondi band. I also talked to a few people who were running their first race. Got lots of comments on my WISH shirt. They had so much beer. All microbrews and all you could drink. It wasn't advertised as all you can drink so I was expecting the standard free drink ticket or 2 for a craptastic beer. I had several beers I had never tried before!
Here is a pic post race with my BEER! I was SO SO hot and sweaty and gross.

And one of me attempting a sprint to the finish.

Little D fell asleep shortly after watching me finish. It was the 2nd no nap day in a row.
