Carlberg Design Run

Has anyone else signed up for the 2 mile run? I just registered. Someone mentioned tonight how cool the shirts are. They are guaranteed for the first 400 registrants. See you all Saturday.

Tuesday Night

Did you girls and guy run the course? Or did it get rained out?

We made the front page of the Abes Army Blog!!!

Girls and guy, go to the Abes Army Blog by clicking the link to the right. Our picture, after the womens distance festival, made the front page. How awesome is that!!!

Tonight we proved that we ARE Team M:P !

Hard work is paying off....and I mean BIG TIME! You gals and guy totally ROCK! This is a great time to reflect upon the early days and how far you have come! Pat yourselves on the back because it was YOUR dedication and inner-strength that brought you this far. I'm honored to be a part of such a great group!

Thanks to Mary for joining us this evening...Great wealth of knowledge!

Keep up your training. A group meets Thursdays & Saturdays so watch the blog (lower right side) for specifics!

Only 3 more weeks until the big day!

Team M:P Rocks!

Congrats to everyone who participated in the Women's Distance Festival. I believe we had the most participants from any one Abe's Army Team! Definitely the most 1st time racers! Now that's dedication!

Great job tonight at Lincoln Park. You're just 1 mile away from completing a 10k. Wow! Don't feel frustrated if you didn't have your best night tonight. We all have bad runs, and the heat can make it so much worse. If history is any indication, it's only going to get warmer. Let's discuss shorter workouts on Tuesdays in lieu of distance to avoid the hot temps. Totally up to the group to decide as you would need to be getting your miles in other days of the week (hopefully in the cooler morning temps). We would stick to "wunning" (who came up with that term...I love it!) 2, never more than 3 miles on Tuesdays and make it hill work, tempo runs, speed drills etc. Please comment with your thoughts so we can prepare for next Tuesday.

Go Team M:P!

Times are posted.

Click on the Abes Army Blog and you will see that they have posted the times along with some photos. (my photo is awful.)

WOW!

Wow! Who can believe we even ran that race?! Abe's Amble seems longer than ever now :o), but really last month I wouldn't have thought that I could run most of 2miles. (Of course, I wouldn't have without Chris and Sarah. Thanks, Girls!). Really though running that race was awesome! Don't you think?

Women's Distance Festival

Good luck to each and everyone of you tomorrow. We can do it.
Mulch!!!

women's distance run

Hello. I was wondering if we had a meeting point set up for this run? Since we missed Tuesday I feel like I'm out of the loop...

Fitness is Killing Me

Good grief !!! I could have sworn I was running last night, but apparently I was hit by a bus instead. I AM POOPED !!!! I barely made it out of bed this morning.

I am so impressed with everyone in the group. You go, girls !!! That 1/1 pace is too much for me; thank heavens for my buddy, Nora, who is willing to hang back with me. We'll catch up with the rest of you before you know it !!

Tuesday Night Trials

I want you all to know that I have been thinking of you tonight. I am hoping that everyone was able to realize the fruits of your labor at the Fairgrounds. I am confident that everyone ran/walked great times as we have all shown great improvement over the last several weeks. That being said, I took tonight off as I have continued to have unrelenting head and neck pain for almost two weeks now. I did walk 2.5 miles tonight in 50 minutes. Not the greatest of times but keeping me active. Hopefully after tomorrow I will be able to resume my training. Look forward to seeing the group this Saturday!!!

Chris
