  1. Yahoo!! So excited we are in the lead now!! Hmmm last weekend I ran 11 miles in 1:34 and I’d like to do that same distance in 1:30 by the end of the month!! I know it’s only 4 minutes but if I hot that goal I think I could half marathon PR! By best 13.1 miles was in 1:44 so I’d live to beat that in next month’s race!

  2. Aw – thanks for the shout out! I just like to a on a winning team ;-).

    I am extra pumped because for the last week I think I’ll have about 28 miles for you!

    Go Team Cait!

  3. Yay!! This is so exciting!!
    I want to just keep improving overall……I ran my second only 10k this morning! I felt amazing when I started and felt the same when I was finished. I don’t think I would have pushed myself all that hard if I was accountable to you guys. 🙂

    • i was SOOO overjoyed when i saw ur FB update that u ran that 10k! girl, u have been doing AMAZING and there is soooo much more brandi awesomeness to come!! can’t wait!

  4. My goal is to have my first 100+ mile month in September and I am definitely on my way… really I just want to improve as a runner all around and I think I’m doing that lately, with my running club i am in here, it’s really helping! I read Kate’s post and saw the shirt too! And we have some peeps logging some serious miles here too :).

    Other fun stuff I did this weekend… watched football and went out for pizza with some friends!

  5. I usually have to navigate the miles and work around my aching legs, but this last week, I’ve been working around a huge sinus infection that sidelined me for 5 days straight, and here I stand with 20 training days left before I taper for New York City Marathon. Antibiotics are my illegal doping agent.

    I learned that when I don’t run, I want to go Jack Nicholson in The Shining all over my family, so thank god I have running to go to.

    All Rest And No Run Makes Mark A Dull Boy (if you seen this movie, you get the reference)

    • 1) of COURSE i’ve seen the Shining, i’m a huge stephen king fan
      2) i also go Jack-Jack when i can’t run
      3) all hail doping agents in the form of antibiotics 😉

  6. WOW! This is awesome!! Go team!!!

    I had an AMAZING weekend! I ran my 4th Half on Saturday and got a new PR of 1:34:52 (I still can’t believe it!!). I spent the rest of the weekend shoveling my face with diner food, resting, yoga-ing, and playing video games.

    My goal is to kick butt in my first marathon! It’s in November and I can’t wait!!!!!

  7. I increased my long runs, as I felt I wasn’t running enough for our team 😉

    I’ve even added in a few “junk mile” runs for this week so we can ensure the WIN! FTW!!!!

    I really want to be able to get a PDR this weekend!!!! I am super excited about it, as I’ve never run further than 11 miles. This Sunday I’m aiming for 12!

    • u are way too cute, and we will greedily snatch up those miles from u! u’re awesome! 🙂 and GO TACKLE that 12 mile distance, i’ll be sending some major positive running vibes ur way come Sunday. but u kno u don’t need my vibes, cuz u’re gonna do great…but i still wanna send them anyways. 😉
