Yay For May Super Goofs Challenge Thread

[princessrunner]

Good late morning for me Super Goofs.

Suzanne: YES, you can do it. Your training is going so well, there is no way you can fail. I will be down for ToT and am sorry I will miss your RFTT race!!

All Super Goofs: You are all doing an awesome job this month. We are moving along nicely. Now that we have Cecilia back and Mike on board, the other teams better just watch out!!

Me, I had a craptastic run yesterday. It was full of creepy people slowing down and waiting for me to pass in order to make their creepiness further know with horn blowing and whistling. Also, there are these little black bugs out right now that got under my Bondiband, in my face, in my hair, etcetera. All in all, yes, craptastic. I ran 3 miles at a 10:50 pace which, for me, is thoroughly discouraging. Today is another day though and I will attempt it again, when I get a chance. DS6 is home sick from school today with a fever so I have to plan accordingly. Also, DD13 has pitching at 2 p.m. which means deep squats for me. DH has apparently given up walking for working so my extra miles have gone down the tubes in a big hurry. Such is life in the fast lane right??

Have a great day Goofs and here is hoping no one else has the slow disease that I seem to be harboring. Fleet feet today everyone. And, yes, I am telling myself that too. Darned slacker captains......

I got 8.11 on Monday and 5.6 yesterday.

 

[FLORIDA_GIRL]

3.6 miles/35 min today

Wish I could of met up with some of the fellow WISHers and Super Goofs during the Minnie weekend. I wasn't able to make it to the WISH meet, and the sea of lime green before the races was a little intimidating. I guess there's next time. It was encouraging, though, to have other WISHers cheering you on during the race. Looking at all the pics, I realize that I saw many of you and just didn't know who you were.

Welcome back Cecilia, and welcome Mike!

Good morning Super Goofs.

WOW...everyone has been right back at it after Minnie. Impressive.

As for me, well every craptastic run should be followed by, a mediocre run. DD13 had pitchers practice yesterday followed by batting practice so I decided to park at her school, run the 2.5 miles to the gym, lift, and then run back. My run to the gym was not bad, 10:07 mpm average. The run back, however, was a 10:39 mpm average so my overall was 10:23. Of course, I should expect that the run back would be harder having lifted and all but it was all downhill..... Oh, did I mention that the local mill and hospital let out and the traffic was beyond horrible. At one point, I had to cross the street dodging in and out of cars. That never happens around here!! Overall, I am happy with the run. I have not been 5 miles since Great Bay so it was one in the win column for me. I had my 3 miles down to 10:07 and I was able to maintain that for the first half of my run.

Get out there and get those workouts in Goofs. Tomorrow is the end of the week and I will be posting to the spreadsheet on Saturday morning. We have YMCA gymnastic regionals tomorrow evening and then field hockey practice on Saturday followed by travel 2.5 hours to a tournament on Sunday early a.m. (first game at 8:15). So much for sleeping in!!

HI

60 minutes tonight; 45 minutes on the TM for 3.3 miles, 15 minutes for abdominal work.

I really felt good running today, even though I am not improving my distance much for the same amount of time, I feel like my body is really beginning to adjust. I am able to increase my pace ever so slightly for longer period(s) of time.

Awesome! As long as you felt good, the rest WILL come. Speed is way over rated!

You guys are trying to make me feel guilty with spin classes and swim lessons. I am going to get there. I am.....

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....I love it when the "lets throw guilt through the interweb plan comes together....

 

[Raenstoirm]

6.69 yesterday!

 

[lynnielou]

HI

45.3 minutes on the TM for 3.3 miles.

Bottom line with other exercising

80 minutes total.

 

[laxdef69]

Today I'm running a 5k with my daughter...her first...she won't let me run it with her, so that will be around 27 minutes, and then I have a 10 miler on tap for another likely 100 minutes, so, if I am doing math right in my tired brain:

Sat : 130 minutes, give or take a few.

have a good day folks!!!!!

Good morning Goofs. Sorry for the MIA. I am making bread, cookies, potato salad and doing laundry this morning so forgive me for my brief post. I am going to update the spreadsheet sometime confused3 ) but it may not be until Monday. I just have too much on my plate right now.

I bought a new bike yesterday and promptly took a 5+ mile ride and this morning was 11.83 miles. It is a hybrid, not a cruiser and not a racer so it goes a little faster. It is much lighter though. I am hoping to get a couple rides a week in just for some XT along with my weights.

Last night was gymnastics. DD13 had an okay night. Best floor routine she has ever done but she fell off the beam 3 times (she would have had a 9.2 if she had stayed on) so she did not place in the all around but got 3 medals out of the night.

Today is field hockey practice, cookout for end of season, graduation party, early to bed and off for NH at 5 in the morning for an 8:15 start time in Epping. Needless to say, no mother's day for me (except my bike ). I know, most women want flowers and me, exercise equipment. I am sick aren't I....

Best of days Goofs. Your totals will be high because the last week of last month is on this one. Hoping that it straightens out with the weeks as we go.

 

[FLORIDA_GIRL]

5/9 -- 3.1 miles, 34 min.

 

[jmasgat]

Checking in with 45 minutes of weights/stretching on Thursday. Took Friday off (a little bit lazy) but today went to the gym to bike some more (better get serious if I decide to try a tri)-- 7.52 miles in 26 minutes. Also did 1 hr Pilates class which was really good. Never taken one with this instructor and I really felt like I got a great workout without totally abusing my abs/back.

25:12 in my 5k this morning, good enough for 41st overall out of 195 finishers...thats an 8:05/mile pace!



my daughter completed her first ever event in 38:50...I was VERY proud of her...she started training for this about 4 weeks ago, so I can't find an emoticon for proud pappa, there would be one right here ().

P.S. 30 minutes of swimming today, too....
