Heather's Half Marathon ChallengeThis was Jeff's idea, and the tradition needs to be carried on here. On August 13th (this Sunday!  ), Heather will be running her first half-marathon! 
Jeff is going to be be doing a treadmill run. I'm doing a bike ride or another activity if weather doesn't permit outdoor exercise. Dean's walking.
Who else is in?

Alisa, thank you. Yes, the tradition must continue. I hope that with all the comotion lately that people have not forgotten about the challenge. Maybe Suzanne can use her "toy box" for as long as it takes Heather to run 13.1 miles!!! Suzanne, can you keep that toy box busy for.....oh, say 2 1/2 hours???

I'll force myself! Anything to help Heather! I might need some help though. Any volunteers? 
Damn. I need to pick up some batteries!

Yes, make sure you have plenty of betteries!!

Heather

I will have to do my actual race, no batteries allowed.

What time on Sunday? I'll put my treadmill to good use in solidarity with you, Heather! What a great idea this is - even Suzanne's toy box option sounds...entertaining...
|
Heather
|
It starts 8 AM. I am not sure what time I will be home to post results.
|
Susanne
|
8 am in what time zone??? I'm in Mountain...like right now, it's 10:27 pm here.
|
Heather
|
I'm in the same time zone as you, MST, that will make it simple.

I want to see Suzanne post her results.
|
Susanne

I'll be there, Heather, walking with you in spirit and in reality on my treadmill.
Jeff, you are just sick! But I like that in my friends!!!

How many batteries do you need?!
|
Susanne
|
Perhaps she has plug-in toys, with the extra-long cord...no need to change the batteries at any time. You can go until you drop from exhaustion or 'injury'.... 
|
Suzanne
|
Should I video tape it for you all to watch?

Well, if you insist, Suzanne.

I wasn't insisting at all!

Well I am!!! And I'm sure Dean wouldn't mind, either.

Too bad I don't own a video camera!

Then I'll expect a very vivid accounting of all the lusty details. All 2 1/2 hours worth.

Just don't use them in the tub!!!

Since the weather will be decent, I will be going for a very, very long hike (2-3 hours).

To TRY to bring this thread back to it's original track!!!
 GO HEATHER, GO!!!!!!
I am going to try to get out and walk "with" you... I know you'll be running... but, I don't think I should get too carried away here.
Now... if I could get over to Suzanne's place, I wouldn't mind getting a little carried away...
Hey, I tried to get this thread back on track.... but, Suzanne is in here! That is very HARD to do under those circumstances!
Whatever... it's all Bobi's fault, anyway!

Nope, thankfully.... i'm just your friendly public service announcer (I blame it on my engineering experience)

Just under one hour till race time....I hope everybody is getting ready. I had a breakfast of 2 raw egg yolks with 1Tbs of coconut oil, 3 oz raw beef, and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Coffee too, of course.

Susanne

Starting at 8 am MST/MDT, I did 60 minutes on my treadmill - longest continuous time I've done yet!!!
 
How's everyone else doing???

Hey, that's awesome Susanne. I just finished a while ago. I started at the same time, which would have been 9 am here. Not exactly what I'd call fun, but I finished all 13.1 miles. Glycogen??? Ha! Who needs it. Give me fat!!!!
|
Jessica
|
Just did a little over a 2 hour hike/walk in a nearby park. All sweaty, taking a shower!!! That was great!!!
You all are doing great!!!!

Great job, Jessica. Thanks for joining us. Still waiting to hear the details of Suzannes's......umm, exercise. Maybe she's not "done" yet?

Ok, I'm getting a little worried about Suzanne....I saw her go into the White Rabbit's hole late last night.....haven't seen her since. I keep hearing this faint "buzzing" sound in the background, though.........

Suzanne

I'm here, I'm here. I'm exhausted, but I'm here. Whew! The things I do for y'all!

Suzanne, glad you made it back "above ground". Any "injuries" to report?
|
Suzanne
|
I think I might have pulled a muscle!

Considering the amount of time you spent down in the hole, you are fortunate.

Yah... you were pulling more than that!

Heather

I just got here.... What a trip!
|
Alisa
|
Glad to see you back! We want details!
|
Dean
|
Heather!
So good to see you back!
We wanna hear all about it! 
BTW... you have the most stunning avatar I've ever seen.
