Runners in Space! Check-in Three

[calico_jane]

Greetings all,

I hope everyone had a good weekend/long Easter break (delete as applicable). On to this weeks check-in...

calico_jane - 11/20 = 55%
thalia - 18/80 = 23%
blnchflr - 11.4/20.5 = 56%
silveraspen - 0/20 = 0%
ridicully - 38/150k = 25%

Total: 412.4 - 42% of target

Which means that we've taken a break in New Orleans (and got a lift a little down the road...). Currently we're in Marianna, Florida which has the somewhat optimistic nickname of 'the City of Southern Charm' and is close to the Florida Caverns State Park. We won't be visiting, as the caverns are currently flooded.

This week's bonus soundtrack, take your pick of Marianna, by Johnny Mathis or So Long Marianne, by Leonard Cohen. Please, someone let me know a more cheerful song!

Also, welcome to liv, who joins us as a supernumerary this month - target 25 miles, currently at 10 miles - 42%

wringing out a washcloth on the ISS.
important safety procedure, no, really.

Comments

[semielliptical]

Running: 21 more miles, for 52 miles total

Other active hours: 3 more, for 6.25 total

Loved the safety procedure video!!

[meri_oddities]

As of today, 100 miles total. 4.5 hours of non-running activity.

[franzi1981]

Person who's still on the DL until early May checking in with some walking over Easter: ~17km

[temve]

Running: 83 miles... which may well be my total for the month as I am sidelined with shin splints bad enough to make me see a doctor *sigh* Looks like I'll be the cheering section at next month's marathon!

Other activity, partially as a result of not being able to run: 21.25 hours, now with commuter bike riding, road bike riding, and swimming.

[linaelyn]

I continue to undershoot my running mileage this month, but I did have a nasty, coughing, sneezing, I-can't-breathe head cold, so I'm kinda ok with that.

12 more miles running, for a total of 40 this month.

4 additional hours of other workout (biking around for all my grocery & banking errands-- a separate goal for Earth Day!) for a total of 14 hours this month.

[linaelyn]

Oh, I'm so sorry your injury is going to keep you sidelined for that marathon! I know you were really looking forward to it. I hope you heal well & quickly. And GO YOU on the other activities!

[linaelyn]

Awesome! Thanks for picking up those extra miles!

[blnchflr]

Welcome, liv!

Mileage: 16.7/20.5 = 81%

Active hours: 4.8/3.5 = 137%

[ell]

Ahahaha, I read this as biking around for all your baking errands! Then I was envious that you had actual baking errands, whatever that might entail.

(In other news, I've beed experimenting a lot with strawberry rhubarb pies lately. And how to decoratively design the top crust. I have hit upon the best idea for the next one. I shall be making the Pie of Sauron!) I thought you might appreciate that! Also, next month, we should totally run through middle earth!

[linaelyn]

I think the biking to Farmer's Market to get croissants and pain au chocolat ought to count as a baking errand, don't you?

You and I need to stop sharing a brain (or you need to stop snagging the NSA's data on me, one of the two!). I have been seekritly researching how we could make a run from The Shire to Mordor on Google Maps... but it was SUPPOSED to be a surprise! Also, as I read this comment, I am NOMMING the rhubarb cobbler I made last night, because I have been experimenting with all the rhubarb recipes lately.

[ell]

I've only been doing rhubarb-strawberry, but I can totally branch out now that I have the ability to create my own pie crusts! Omnomnom!

(I am sorry for inadvertently spoiling the surprise, but I am UNREASONABLY EXCITED about running in Middle Earth, so much so that I am considering weapons and costumes that I could actually run with. And resurrecting my lembas recipe and playing around with it some more...hmmm...rhubarb lembas?)

[ell]

Total of 143 miles for the month so far and 10 hours of activity including my first ride on the road bike in 6 months!

[linaelyn]

You are a complete nut job and I love you.

[linaelyn]

Also, one does not simply walk into Mordor. ONE RUNS THERE.

[ell]

YOU WIN THE INTERNET!
:-D

[ridicully]

Having a really faily month so far, only 22km more for a total of 60km this month.
Plus 3.5h of hiking in the 'other activity' column.

There's still a week to go, But I somehow doubt it'll make this a salvageable month.

Oh well, I'll do better next month...

[ilanarama]

The fire mask video made me laugh!

As of yesterday (haven't run yet today) I am up to 111 miles and 2 hours of core work. Also, I ran a 10-mile race on Saturday, and here is my race report.

[ilanarama]

Oh, boo on shin splints.

[ilanarama]

Heal up soon!

[cadenzamuse]

Sorry, I have been...everywhere, this month, but not here.

However, I did log 6.75 active hours this month! With some of those being 4 mi of walking (which is as close to running as I've come whilst recovering from kidney stone stuff).

[liv]

Thanks for the welcome, and for hosting this really evocative running route!

As of today I've done 18/25 miles so just over 70% of my April target. I hope I can actually complete this month; I'm going to have to be pretty disciplined.

Will start counting active hours properly as of next month, I hope.
