The quote has nothing to do with running, I just thought it was funny!

 

Erika - 32.1 miles run, 1.6 miles walked, 40 min. pool running, some ab/core stuff and token swimming. (Only 32.1 miles.  Is someone becoming a slacker? )

 

Eliza - ran 2.5 and walked 2.0 and learned an enormous lesson - not doing NOTHING the rest of the day or the day after my next long race. (Tuff week, Eliza.  Hope you are feeling better!)

 

Evryday - 3 miles and back in the black hole. (Ev - Come out of the black hole!  Come out of the black hole!)

 

Nono - 37 mi running, 4.5 mi bike riding, 10 min stength/stretch. (With some kind of weird moaning . . . )

 

Carol - 6 miles running, 4 miles walking, 2400 yards swimming, 29 miles biking (I can't even comment in normal text!)

 

pfriese - 50.9.  (Our quiet, consistent runner.)

 

dg - 44.6 miles running, 25 minutes ellipticalling, 1 hr. 45 minutes strength training. (Um - And who ran their longest run yet?? 20 miles?!?  Way to go!)

This doesn't mean I have to run in a thong does it?  I might have to opt out.

T- rest

W- 8 mi run

T- 10 min slideboard

F- 4 mi run

 ITB and sinuses are taking me down!!!!! 

 

 

*Welcome to tourist town America...our long time waitress is going to nursing school, so we all complied.  Even after a Manhattan and 1/2 botte of red, I'm still 110/70.  I laid a bet I was that before she did it.  And I nailed it.  Oh, when will I learn to bet on my half marathon times.???? Crap, I don't even have a :30 deviation over the last year.......<sigh>

Leslie, thanks for keeping us straight!  I'll skip the fancy fonts this week since they don't seem to be helping my speed.

 

Monday - 12.3 miles biking, 3.1 miles running, 1 mile walking

Tuesday - 2.5 miles running, 1 mile walking

Wednesday - rest day, icing the footie

Thursday - 15 miles biking

Friday - 6 miles biking, 1000ish yards swimming

Saturday - 21 miles biking

Sunday - rest + house cleaning

 

Totals:  54 miles biking, 5.6 miles running, 2 miles walking, 1,000 yards swimming

 

Was hoping to ramp up the running a little this week, but my right arch is telling me it needs some TLC, so it will be a heavier biking and swimming week.

 

Eliz, ((((hugs)))), hope you can get some rest and feel better.  Flu stuff is nasty this year!

 

Woohoo!!! Paul has a new 1/2 marathon PR.  Those consistent miles are paying off for you!  Congrats!

Um . . . thanks for the visual??

Monday - coherent enough, in spite of low-grade fever, to safely drive home from NJ; walked an untimed mile from the garage to home after dropping off my car for inspection

Tuesday - lost my mind and didn't take a sick day; back to school night, too, so I was at work until 9:00 p.m.; wrote sub plans for tomorrow as XT

Wednesday - home sick; walked untimed mile to pick up the car; felt worse at the end of the day than in the a.m.; taking off the rest of the week; can't remember the last time I missed 3 days of school

Thursday - was finally able to get a doctor's appointment; diagnosis = bronchitis; fever down all day; drugs starting to kick in

Friday - home sick still, but managed to do laundry, go out for lunch, and go to the grocery store - oh, and also to do some schoolwork; could there be a WALK in my future tomorrow?  

Saturday - drove to the shore; random walking in Atlantic City - shopping and dinner

Sunday - survived church - sang surprisingly well for all of the gunk still in my chest; walked about 2 untimed miles

Summary - sick all week, hoping to get back out there tomorrow

Eliz

Nono... we're all easily entertained.

Thanks for doing this Leslie!

Carol I hope your arch is ok.

Eliz, get better!
