I thought there was a large group thing happening over with the Rangers?

 

You are absolutely correct. The Scouts, Rangers, Warriors, Assassins, Adventurers, Druids, and Monks all do their own minis themed around that particular type of fitness.

Yeah, I don't think we've had one since I started doing challenges with the Scouts. I'd love to have a mini! Any ideas?

 

I'm Potterheading pretty hard right now. I just found out about the Hogwarts Running Club, so I'm all for a House Challenge. Every km traveled by feet is 2 points, every mile by bike is one? Or, we pick a distance that we try to travel as a group and theme it with Star Trek: Voyager.

They have Warriors, a few Assassins, and a couple Rebels as well.

 

Just popped over there. It looks like people are joining it because the other guilds haven't posted a mini. I can come up with something for next challenge if you want to do the one with the Rangers this time around. It looks like things are getting intense over there. O.O

The hiccup we've had with minis is that they tend to feel the same thing over and over or we don't get anyone on board for them

 

BUT seems like we've got some desire for a minI around here so let's see what I can whip up.

Crack that whip

 

personal w00t, just completed the Arsenal City 5k for the 21st time; only ?? to go....... even though I moved I still go back and run the race to keep my streak alive, I hope to be one of those old geezers that have a 50+ year streak going; at 50 years I will I only be 65, so I'm hoping to have at least another 20 on top of that, not matter how slow I get

 

Time to get my goals in order; completely winging a Half Marathon on the 9th and there is another half on New Years day, so I have a feeling this is going to play into that

That is AMAZING. One of my neighbors has two grandkids who haven't missed the two of the Jacksonville Races since they were little, and I'd never thought of how many races they will have done by the time they leave home, let alone when they'll hit 50. That's a mindbender! O.O

hi scouts! although I'm in the assassins guild because I do all the thingsss, one of the things I'm doing a lot more of this challenge is running (trying to figure out how to go from a 3x a week runner to a 5x a week runner while still doing bodyweight exercises, tae kwon do, and having a stupid busy lifestyle), so I am planning to totally lurk and hang out in y'alls challenges. just wanted to introduce myself, so you aren't concerned I'm here for some kind of nefarious assassiny kind of thing. :)

Hey Scouts! Been a while. I'm trying to get myself back into the swing of things as far as my fitness goes, and being around here more is going to be a big part of that I suspect. So expect to see me poking around more in the coming weeks. :)

My only suggestion Karina is getting up early in the morning and getting it out of the way 1st thing; that way it's done and gives you a sense of accomplishment first thing in the morning.

 

So I have a pretty strong stomach but there is something about the smell of road kill that gets me every time; one of the joys of running/cycling that no one talks about lol

Any further thoughts on this one? I'm still down for a mini if y'all are.

We could always have an on going Scout Mini for distance each challenge.

 

Perhaps like what the leaderboard should be, lol.

 

 

 

IT'S AN AWESOME MINI! GO DO THE THING!

So completed that Half in 1:56 which is 4 minutes better than I thought I was going to do; so I'm going to let my legs heal up in the next few days and start "training" for the Hang Over half and find a Spring half marathon to really set my sites on

 

Going to attempt to do one the mini's this week; didn't want to do anything crazy last week

Math is fun, especially when you can break it down to help you train for an upcoming race, I'm toying with a 13.5 mile race next June called the Mt Greylock "half" the first 3 miles of it is from base to summit at 3,489 feet which breaks down to a 22% incline, I'm willing to bet that the following 10k will be faster than the first 5k lol
