Week #5

Finally-Extended evening hours! I don't what part of the training program you all are following, but I think I am going do the run on Thursday evening at Conshy again. Does anyone have an objection to meeting at the Spring Mill Parking lot? If we run from there, we don't cross any roadways heading towards Philadelphia. I am going to send out an invite to my team today with a new map. As of now, Thursday is supposed to reach a high of 52, which is pretty similar to what happen this past buddy run. Sunset is supposed to be at 7:06 pm, so I will suggest a meeting time of 6 pm for a 40 minute run. Thoughts?

Hey Chuck - is it still Week #5??

I'll let my people know. If I don't go to the bridal event at Macy's then I might come over for the run - but it's going to be a slow one for me. I haven't been running in 3 weeks!

I believe this Saturday's practice is a bike ride at Oaks again. Depending on what time my football game is, I should be there. We'll see...

No, actually it is week 6. I was seeing how much people pay attention. I just looked at the scheduled to see we aren't scheduled for another team swim practice to mid-April.

Beth said...

That's not good! Team swims are usually the only time I get any swim practice in!

Who's going to the fundraising fair and Hero gathering tonight? Danelle and I are going.

I am going to be there tonight. As for swim practicing, I am kicking around the idea of swimming with the Philadelphia Tri club at Germantown Academy which is about 1/4 mile from my house. They swim on Mon-Wed-Fri evenings.

Beth said...

Interesting. A guy I used to work with asked me how the Philly Tri Club was. I don't really know anyone who is a part of that club. I've met more people who do T3 but I can't say that I really "know" them that well.

Beth said...

Do any of you know if there is going to be food tonight? I need to know whether or not to eat dinner first.

Is anybody coming out to run this evening? I have one guy potentially who is coming.

Tried to swim at the Ambler Y last night. There were 6 people in one lane and 5 in the other. Impossible to work on technique when people are swimming up your back.

sorry about the crappy swim chuck... if you ever are near Penn and want to swim... I can bring guests....hope you are had a good run tonight... I ran tonight in NC around the same time... so it was like running together... just a couple hundred miles apart! Sadly my run was VERY hilly... which I hope someday will pay off... =)

Chuck W. said...

One of my guys and Paul ran tonight. We did 4 miles (Paul ran 5)at around 40 minutes. That is a pretty good pace for me and the longest I have ran since last year. Maybe I can do the Broad Street in May...

Shannon said...

Sign up for Broad Street... you can run it! That's a great pace... and solid distance...

Hope everyone has a good workout today... I am going swimming and running right now before leaving NC... hopefully will get a bike ride in tomorrow or long run... if the weather in philly cooperates.

Stuck in the airport with horrible weather!! =( Trying to be productive... and plan my week...

buddy run Thursday?
looks like no team practice this weekend... I was thinking if that is the case... a bike/run on Saturday would be good

DaveM said...

Shannon - A bike / run on Saturday would be good for Bernadette and I.

Practice was good, swim and run. Starting at 8:00 "is early". I had to get up at 6:20 to eat then drive to St Joe's. But I then got home earlier to eat lunch and take my nap.

Hey, I just noticed that I got 9th place (~$900) in the online donation contest. WOW, the first place person had $3200. I get a runners world training log. My total donations is over $2000, but most is by check. The people at my work are very generous and support me well but they don't like the online credit card thing. I love them ALL. Look at my website.
