blimey Jeff!!!! that's dedication if i ever saw it.

Nope, if you ask certain team members around these parts, they'll just tell you "I'm CRAZY!".

Hellooooo Warriors ~

I'm glad to hear everyone is getting some miles in. I finally updated my miles on the spreadsheet, but I didn't post my 5 hour days when I volunteered for the bike ride.

I hurt my shoulder throwing a whiffle ball in the office yesterday, old rotator cuff injury...so I'm laying off the push up challenge for a week or so. Someone threw it to me from down the hall, so I had to throw it back.

Our Summer in the San Francisco Bay area, CA....overcast and cold in the morning. So it's nice running weather, not hot in this part of the U.S.

Have a good day!

File work comp!

Hey Warriors!

Quickly stopping by to mention that my Goofy upgrade application was sent off today - not saying anything official until it's been processed and confirmed, but it looks like I'm doing the Goofy in 2010!

I'll start panicking tomorrow.

 

[mkymsehi]

Happy Aloha Friday Warriors. It's time to pau hana, and suck 'em up!

Thursday's training involved 8 1/4 miles by feet, 1:10. 14 miles by bike, 1:20.

Starving when I was done, priceless. LOL.

 

[mkymsehi]

Aloha Friday, where is everyone?

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Hey Jeff, did you break this thing? Seems like everyone IS quiet. Must be out there working at it I'd be guessing.

Good job on those push ups. I never could manage those things. Maybe I should play.


Sarah, congratulations on going Goofy!

Marcia, sorry about your shoulder. That is really something, All that schlepping you did with those bikes and such and you get it by a wiffle ball. Ugh.

Jeff, you are amazing to be getting in all you do in that heat. It is Crazy, or rather, I guess I should say You are Crazy! I heard you say that!

I got out today between rain moments and put in some more steps. It was quite humid. I took out Kirby for a bit and he gave out on this one too. Jus laid there for a bit and finished up the last bit. He was doing so much better than the last time. I thought this was a good day, then it heated up and it was all over.

Hey Warriors!!

Kate: Yes, all the parks in this area have Lightening alarms. When activity is within a certain distance a long alarm is sounded and you are suppose to seek shelter. When no activity has occured after 20min the it sounds 3 tones and you can go back out. Comes in handy.

Marcia: how is you shoulder??

Sarah: hope the tapering is coming along nicely. don't go too mad and don't go doing taper shopping!! haha

Things are going well with me. SIgned up for a local 5K on July 4th so living up to my name!! haha

Take care warriors!

Hello everyone!! Sorry I haven't been checking in that much... I've kind of been avoiding the Dis. No particular reason I just haven't felt like having so much Disney stare me in the face ( I know... what's wrong with me? ) Glad to see how well everyone's doing! Keep it up!

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?

- I will have to audition again in 6 months. I would go sooner- but Disney's rule is that you can't audition again until 6 months have passed. (oh well- another excuse to go to Disney in Dec. or Jan!)

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

Thank you!

 

[Sarah_Rose]

Hurray, Saturday, Warriors!

Kate: I taught middle school in Suffolk County, which is pretty much the only place where you can teach middle school. And actually, the school I taught at is being closed after next year in an effort to make Suffolk conform with the rest of the country, which is unfortunate. Anyway, congrats to your boyfriend for making it so far in the interview process! I'm sure he'll find a great position for next year!

Jeff: Again, we you for your crazy dedication in hot weather. I've become such a Seattlite.... 75 now feels like a crazy heatwave to me!

Tracy: I am sad to say that shopping of all sorts has lost all of its appeal to me right now. I am currently getting at least one package a day of stuff that's been ordered online for the wedding. Ugh. I didn't realize how many little odds and ends are involved in wedding planning!

Lily: Looking forward to meeting you here in Seattle next week! Looks like it's supposed to rain.

As for me, I did 7.1 miles and 1:22 today as our last Saturday long run with the Joints in Motion peeps. Despite the nice cool weather (high of 65 today), I was feeling kind of "blah" throughout my run, but I got it done, so that's all that can be hoped for. We also had an unexpected guest at our run for the first mile or so.... a doe frolicked in the brush on the side of the trail for almost an entire mile, just ahead of our group as we ran, before a pack of cyclists scared her off into the woods. It was pretty neat - I've never seen a deer so fearless! I took a 3 hour nap this afternoon after a fabulous celebratory brunch at my favorite Seattle cafe. Turns out gyro meat, feta cheese, artichokes, olives, tomatoes and zucchini are delicious in an omlette!

Just wanted to say....

Happy Father's Day to all the WARRIOR Dad's out there!!! Have a great day!!

Have a great Sunday everyone. I had a melty 6 miles this morning, but I am also down more in weight today. I think I might just have gotten over a plateau that I had been hanging out on.

Racey Tracy

Happy Father's Day to all our Warrior Dads!!

 

[smileyk8]

Happy Daddy Day everyone!

Sarah wow middle school's are very rare over here- i only know of one and that was in Derbyshire so a fair way away. What a shame it's closing though. Well done on your last long run and also being joined by such a fearless deer- that's amazing. Now to mention the big one- whoop for GOOFY! Ah so exciting.

Tracy massive congrats on getting over weight plateau and for another sweltering run!

Lily great work getting out there between rain. It's so easy to write off a day before it's up so well done.

Ran 10km today as a practice, it felt ridicously hard and painful..... turned out to be a PB! 51:58. That could be why it felt hard

Also.... booked my flights for Jan! I'm coming so is mum , dad grumpily said he didn't want to come too so he's staying home alone I tell you they're like children. So next up registering for the full. Tempted to leave it a bit for exchange rate, but might be risky!

Keep at it warriors. Can't wait to see most of you next year

 

[mkymsehi]

14 miles in the sun, and some strong tradewinds. 2:04 with waterstops along the way. Good run!

Thanks for all the Father's Day WISHes everyone.

Watching the US Open with the girls and the kitty. Seafood dinner to celebrate this evening. Aloha all !

 

[dsnyfan21]

Just wanted to stop in and say...

Whoo Hoo Kate is going to be at the WDW Marathon weekend!! Yay!! Don't forget Kate the WISH meet is that Friday around 4:30 at the POP century food court and we are thinking about doing something alittle sooner for a Warrior meet.

Tracy

 

[MiaBanda]

Sarah - Yay...another Goofy warrior!

Kate - So glad you are coming in Jan! And yes, just like Tracy said, you HAVE to be at the Warrior meet on Friday!

Jeff - You amaze me running in that heat. I don't think I would be much of a runner if I lived in Hawaii.

Go, go, go Racey Tracy! How many races do you do in one month? I am still keeping my current streak alive...I have completed at least one race or tri every month since May 2008! Keep it up girl!

Ok, so week one of Goofy training is in the books with a 5 mile run this morning. Only 29 more weeks to go! I sure would like to know who talked me into this... Jeff?? Tracy??

The Mixer starts here on the 'Ohana thread....

'Ohana Monday Mixer

I asked a variation of this on team thread, but it makes for a good general prompt. Lots of us are finalizing our late summer/fall/early 2010 race schedules and/or in training for them. So let's talk events. Two questions:

1. What event have you committed to that you're most looking forward to, Disney marathon weekend excluded? And
2. What are you most looking forward to about Disney marathon weekend, if you are attending? (With sympathy to those who are not.)

 

[Sarah_Rose]

Hey Warriors!

Kate: Hooray!!!! That's so exciting that you'll be making it for marathon weekend!

Michelle: Do you have a link (or a link to the book or whatever) for the 30 week training plan you're using for the Goofy? I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to tackle this!

I traded in workout time for a different kind of workout; we rented a carpet cleaner from Home Depot today and spent the whole day moving furniture, vacuuming, and then running that big heavy machine over the carpet and sofa. It was a lot of work, but hopefully it'll help with the allergy problems my fiance and I have both been having. We also took the poor ignored pooch to his favorite dog park for some ball chasing time. He had a Bolt moment where another dog was patiently trying to play with him and Jack finally figured out that he was supposed to chase (and did for a minute) but was still confused as to why.

Happy Fathers day to all the Warrior fathers!!!

Sarah - WTG, nice to have another warrior out there on the road with us.

Michelle - nice running/tri streak! Keep it going!

Jeff - You CRAZY!

Tracy - the shoulder is doing better, it doesn't keep me up at night anymore. I'll probably see how the push ups feel this coming week and go from there.

Lily - way to dodge the drops and get out there. Remember to hydrate

I just noticed in the mirror, I got a funky tank top tan from today's run.
