I don't think public urination is considered giving back to the community! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/razz.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Razz"><br><br><b>Winter</b>, hardly able to get past those beautiful eyes to notice the cut!<br><br><b>Solar</b>, excellent run! Saw your post in the VRAA and was like, "Nice!"<br><br>
Well, if <b>Crane's</b> running mantra is true, then I had a good run today. Just finished 20 miles in 3:03:35 (9:11/mile). For the first time, I ran starting from my house. I mapped out a route to get to my favorite trail. Basically, I ran 4 miles to the trail and ran around on it, then 4 miles back.<br><br>
Mentally it was pretty rough. At the 12-mile mark, I was actually 2 miles from my house. So I could either run 2 miles up a big ass hill and cut the run short, or run another 8 miles and take the long way home and do the run I set out to do.<br><br>
I was definitely feeling it. The last 6 miles were a lot of uphill. And the last 3 were right into the sun right along the road.<br><br>
Also tried Hammer Gel for the first time since the running store was out of my favorite GU flavors. Didn't like it all that much. I mean, it's fine, but kind of floury tasting. I guess it's thing is it's made with all natural ingredients.<br><br>
Well, gotta get ready for my fantasy draft. The official start of the Iron City Dagoes season! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

Haven't been on in a little while and see the hacker's message - kinda took me by surprise.<br><br><b>Winter</b> Hubba hubba!<br><br>
I'll report more a little later but I wanted to drop in and toot my own horn - I ran a really good 10k this morning despite a tough 23 miler on Sat. I'm kinda wiped out from it but yay me!

Lower back tattoos are only skanky if they're like tribal, trendy or you look like a striper. its an option a lot of folks take...particularly if they're um...running out of room. *cof* but i don't know anything about that....<br>
No one has ever hated on mine. May be cuz the boy I live with would knock someone out if they referred to me in anyway like that... but also its because its not a stripper tattoo... Talk to your cousin...she'll tell you.

Hey hey hey... good afternoon all! Freshly showered and ready to relax following the 20K up in New Haven this morning and the ride back into the city w/my fellow runners <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"> I missed my goal by a minute or so but am still happy with the 1:41:10 I ran. Took the first mile or two easy, laid the hammer for miles 3-5, recovered a bit in 6-8, running low around 9-10 and back in the saddle by miles 11-12.4 Overall, a really nice run and a great day to be outside esp. with 30s like <b>boB</b>, <b>Brandy</b> & <b>Baggio</b>. Will be back to run that one again; nice race!<br><br><b>Winter</b> - you are gorgeous! Love the cut too. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"><br><br>
Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend!!

Pretty sure I don't look like a fish, so at least I've got that covered. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
Nothing tribal, nothing trendy. I just don't know how to make the elements I'm considering work as a cohesive piece. I could go with one or the other...I just don't know.<br><br>
Congrats on being shod, BTW. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
CONGRATS MARIA!!!<br><br>
On a sad note: did you guys hear about <a href="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10377&highlight=boston+fire" target="_blank">the fire in Boston that killed 2 firemen?</a> Not far from my house. I just drove by their firehouse...ugh. There were flowers and plants and balloons and stuffed animals covering the sidewalk and driveway of the station. Just tragic.

Hey, all--<br><br>
Got out for the first time since my race this morning (would have posted earlier, but I got to the hacked front page, and didn't realize that the forums were fine). Anyhow, I ran a very easy 2.33 miles in just over 30 minutes, including a sucktastic hill, so I felt good about the effort. I'm having my mole removed on Thursday, so I'm going to try to run again tomorrow and Thursday morning before the procedure, if I can. It felt strange to be on the road again, but I was really happy when I finished. I had some more gas in the tank, but it was more important to get the time in than push myself too hard, so I'm happy with the effort. I'm curious to see if I can stick with OHR w6, or if I end up scaling back to w5 because of the break. Thank God for the improvement in weather. Though I was sweaty and breathing moderately hard, it feels like the middle of winter (not <b>Winter</b> -- love the cut, BTW) compared to last Saturday.<br><br>
In other news, the conference in Chicago went well, including my three interviews (2 schools in GA and one in Colorado). I'll send applications to all three (plus about 50 others), but hopefully I made a good impression. Apparently, some people think I'm aggressive, so maybe what I thought was good was frightening to the interviewers. I didn't get that sense, but one never knows. I like to think it's assertive, but aggressive might be more accurate. <span style="font-size:xx-small;">Thanks, <b>Kini</b> for remembering my birthday on Saturday. It was very relaxed, though almost all of my friends stood me up for dinner. Oh, well. That's the problem with celebrating a birthday out of town.</span><br><br>
Yay! to all of the excellent running. Keep up the excellent work, folks!

G'mornin' folks. I haven't caught up at all on the weekend thread (asshat hackers!), but I'm in need of a nap before I do anything. Got back about an hour ago from breakfast after a tough 8 mile race. <b>CactusTri</b> made the trek down from the Valley. It was great to catch up with him and meet his family. The race went really well. I'll write a report after my nap.<br><br>
nar nar <b>Winter</b>!<br><br>
What's this about <b>Craney</b> and "hard is good?" Looks like I really need to go back and read the weekend thread!<br><br>
Nice LR's <b>Voo</b> and <b>Solar</b>!<br><br>
Good on you for volunteering, <b>Doc</b>.<br><br>
Must...sleep....now....<br><br>
ETA: So I was apparently more tired than I thought. I slept, got up, and realized that I'd hit "preview" instead of "submit" on this post.<br><br>
Nice races, <b>Maria</b> and <b>Pacer</b>!<br><br>
Welcome back, <b>Prae</b>, and happy belated birthday! My impression is that assertive/aggressive can be good in academic interviews, so I'm sure do you did great.

Holy smokes. I am back from my volunteering.<br><br>
I directed traffic, told a couple of doctors to cool their heels, drank post-race beer, took photos of all my friends (and some new ones) and helped close down the party.<br><br>
I think I am going to pass out for 20 minutes before continuing on with my excellent day!
