Misfits Spring Break

Misfits,

The week is yours. Being that it is spring break and many of us have kids running around, fitting in scheduled workouts can be difficult. Please enjoy the warm weather, take a nice stroll in the woods, a bike ride or long run!

However, if you just can't go an entire week without seeing Al and myself . . . join us Thursday, 4/1 for a 16-18 mile run. For those of you doing the Illinois Marathon May 1st downstate this will be a great opportunity to get one of your longer runs in.

Plan on meeting us at The Great Western Trail via US Route 47 at 8:30 a.m. We will run two out and backs in opposite directions to utilize our cars as aid stations. This is a heart rate training zone run so bring 'em if you have 'em.

Also bring whatever you need to get you through. Hydration is a must as it will be in the 60-70's and most of us aren't used to this warmer weather yet.

Take care, have an awesome week. Happy running!

Kristen and Al

BL #16

Hey Losers,

This is your SECOND TO LAST challenge counting the bonus ++ round. We’ve all needed a little encouragement from time to time. Consider this challenge your chance to pay it forward.

Challenge 16: Find a friend or family member, spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend what have you and be their weight loss coach. Encourage them to make smart decisions when it comes to food choices and be their workout buddy. I’m hoping this will carry you through the challenge and into a lifestyle of healthy eating and workout habits. There's always someone depending on you, be a good role model!

Good luck and don’t forget to weigh in on Monday morning. Final weigh in will be Gold shift March 29th/ Black shift early a.m. (0700-0800) March 30th. YOU MUST WEIGH IN INFRONT OF ME THESE DAYS!

BL #15

Hey Losers,


For some reason I have lost a week or so in the Biggest Loser weight loss Challenge. Therefore lady luck is on your side for there will be a bonus challenge + + at the end of the competition. But for now you have to only focus on . . .


Challenge #15: For one entire week try to adhere the suggested serving sizes on your food containers. If eating fruits and vegetable, visit the INTERNET for serving size suggestions. Use your logs to track your progress, thoughts, foods that fill you up etc . . .


Good Luck to all,


Kristen

P.S. DON'T FORGET TO WEIGH IN MONDAY MORNING!
P.S.S. If you ran the 1 mile challenge last week please inform me of your time by Monday, March 8th via phone, email, in person, smoke signals, text whatever.

Tampa marathon pics

Hey Misfits,

Race and post race pics from Tampa..... I love the expressions of pure hurt, well except for Miss Amy, she is always so composed. We love her and hate her for that.....;)

Tampa Marathon

Misfits,

Just want to congratulate, Amy, Ron, Timmy Hunck, Tim Hain and my husband on their great performances Sunday at the Final Voyage of the Tampa Gasparilla Marathon and half Marathon. There were some impressive times posted.

Ron's brother Tim Hain and our gracious host in Tampa ran his first 1/2 Marathon in 1:58:24, he's the newest member of the Misfits family. Amy Hain knocked more than 2 hours off of her first marathon with a 4:20:13 chip time, Ron Hain finished with a 4:08:34 chip time, Timmy Hunckler with a 3:57:18 chip time, Al Wade ran a blistering 3:13:19 (a Boston qualifying time) and myself with a 3:37:16 (also a Boston qualifying time).

The weather, although chilly for most Floridians, was perfect for a running and about 25 degrees warmer than Chicago.

Stay tuned for pictures, I know Amy had taken a few.

Happy running,

Kristen
