I got a week to do 60 pushups. I don't think I'll be able to do them all at once.

Do nine a day.

All 60 are due the first tailgate. I wanted to do 60 in a row nonstop. I'll probably have to settle for 30 before the game, and 30 after.

You should have said first regular season tailgate. Then you would have had an extra month to procrastinate.

"I'm training for so my son grows up in a healthy home. I never got guidance as a kid and my weight has been a roller coaster all my life. To me, soda was the only thing you drank with lunch and dinner and you ate until you were not hungry anymore. Nathan will not know what soda is until he is old enough to understand what it does to you.

If I thought I was going to lose, I might have done that....

Oh, and that reminds me. Do I have to payup at the first game, eventhough Donald won't be there?

Sure. I am sure there will be many honest people there to state (for a fee) that you completed your goal.

He owes them to abomb, not Donald...

I think he's trying to buy time since Donald won't be able to pay up. Can't say I blame him for trying!!

Well, I got the company email last week saying they are sponsoring a team for the PF Changs run again, so I'm in. I ran the 1/2 marathon last year with relative ease, so I'm leaning towards doing the full this year. I'll have to see how my training goes before I commit.

Ran an easy 3 miles on thursday and then another 4 on saturday and felt pretty good. Unless I've forgotten one, this was the first time actually jogging since the race in January. I've just been playing hoops once or twice a week.

I plan to run twice during the week (3 or 4 miles) and then do a long run on the weekend, gradually increasing my distance each time.

Jersey Girl · August 26th, 2008, 08:32 PM

Awesome, Bada!

I haven't been running since I started back at school (well, except for my students who occasionally bolt out the door). I think it's been almost a month. Ouch!

I need to start making this a priority again, especially if I want to do the 1/2 marathon again.

Bada0Bing · October 27th, 2008, 09:50 AM

Ran a nice easy 9 miles this weekend. I felt pretty good. My knees/shins are holding up surprisingly well, no pain yet whatsoever. I need to decide in 2 weeks whether to run the half or the full. I'll do a 10'r this weekend and then an 11'r next weekend and if all goes well I'll probably shoot for the full.

Jersey Girl · October 27th, 2008, 02:49 PM

Sweet!

Not to give you an out, but if you sign up for the full, you can decide to switch to the half that day if your training doesn't go as planned.

I'm not sure I'm gonna make it this year. Am WAY behind schedule. I need someone to kick me in the big ol ass.

Bada0Bing · November 15th, 2008, 07:27 AM

If it helps at all JG, it''s much easier to train once you've already been there. It took about 1/3 the time to get back in shape to where I was last year.

Well, I took the plunge and signed up for the full. I figured I'd better do it now because I'm not getting any younger. I've always wanted to give it a try.

Ran 10 miles 2 weeks ago. It totally wiped me out because I was pushing my daughter in her jogging stroller the entire way. I did 11 miles last weekend and felt pretty good. I've got a 13.5 mile course mapped out for today, mostly on the canal. It's going to be a beautiful day for a nice long run.
