[equinox marathon 43]

Hi 30s.<br><br>
Not much happening today. I was planning on a 20 mile run today, but my legs just didn't have 20 in them. I had to settle for 13.4. And they weren't very good. Oh well, I won't dwell on it.<br><br>
I had a nice conversation at lunch today with the gorgeous co-worker. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Not much else going on.<br><br>
Have a great night everyone.

The Phillies lost. That stunk.<br><br>
In other stuff, I took a try at doing a pull with just my right arm, starting with my right arm slightly bent at the elbow. I came within inches of pulling my chin up over the bar, so I'm getting even closer to the one arm chin up than I thought I was. Will still need to get to where I can start the pull from a dead hang and get the last bit of distance at the top, but I was really surprised at how close I am.

<b>Katholeenie</b> rocks! I inherited a rather large head and am finally glad to have a great hat to fit on it! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Did <b>5</b> miles @ 10:34 pace (!!) - attempted a bit of tempo during my run, for .9 and .6 miles. I'm assuming it's supposed to hurt so good...<br><br>
Um, relationships suck. Just wanted to mention that.<br><br>
Having a rather unpleasant week for a variety of reasons - but have been following the threads with interest, especially what people have put out about the QO-two-days-ago? I'm going to be contrary to my real-world persona and keep my mouth shut, cause it's just not a good week to wax philosophic on such things.<br><br>
So there. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
I am, however, going to have to figure out where I'm staying in Philly....<br><br>
Anyhow, have a good evening...

Do you have another marathon coming up? I don't know that I can imagine doing a 20 miler that soon after a marathon <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"> Good job on getting 13.4 in.

 

[mykemp1971]

No doubt with the <b>Brooks Hansen</b> project and all... also Alan Webb went to U of Mich for a year or two.

Well I went to the park and got in 2.25 miles of walking/running. I tried to work on my pacing by using the track at the park. I need a lot more practice. I would have stayed longer but it started to rain and I had my garmin as well as some other stuff with me that I did not want to get wet.

Hmm... maybe I'll sneak up to see the olympic trials, too...<br><br>
Hi <b>Kini</b>!<br><b>EQ</b>- you're running a marathon on the 14th, yes? <i>Never mind, I just saw your sig...</i><br><br>
Cross-training day for me. I did an hour bike ride tonight. Felt good. I'm hoping the weather cools off for the races this weekend, though!

Hi <b>Solar</b>

For those wondering if I have lost my mind trying to do a 20 today...no, I lost my mind long ago! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"><br><br>
Seriously, I am doing a marathon on the 14th of October in Lowell, MA. There was a method to the madness today. Really, there was.<br><br>
See, I am following the Pfitz/Douglas program for 2 marathons 4 weeks apart. Today was the longest run in that program, a planned 15 miles. The idea with the 4 weeks between marathons programs is to use the first marathon as the last long run before the 2nd marathon.<br><br>
Remember what happened in my first marathon? I only got 12.7 miles in. That's going to mean I haven't gone 20+ for 7-8 weeks when I go into the Bay State. I suspect, that might cause me to fade down the stretch.<br><br>
That's why I wanted to do a 20 tonight. Body wouldn't cooperate. I can't complain though, I've been pushing the body pretty hard this week what with the 1/2 marathon race on Sunday, and a VO2max workout Tuesday night.

<br><b>{{{Heather}}}</b> I know funks. I'm sorry you are in one, hope it lifts soon.

 

[bard73]

<br>
Yep! And I'm enjoying listening to the game tonight. I have it on the tv in the other room, but I'd rather hear the game called by pro-Indians guys, so I'm listening to it on the radio instead.<br><br>
Guess I should feel sorry for Coach T.<br><br>
Nah.<br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

Woohoo, nice win for the Indians! I'll be happy with a Sox-Tribe ALCS. But maybe it's still a little early to think about that. G'night guys...

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. I turned 30 on September 22, I've just been working a lot and not around the net with a lot of free time in the last couple of weeks. We're pretty busy at work so they've been calling us in a lot. I ended up sleeping 20 hours straight on my birthday. All I wanted to do was watch the LSU game and by the time I sat down to watch it, I saw the kickoff and then it was all over.<br><br>
And I made an error earlier... CBS is coming tomorrow and ESPN game day is coming on Sat. of course... yeah, I was just trying to make the game happen sooner and wishing today was Friday!<br><br>
Ok, must go to sleep now because I've agreed to wake up at an ungodly hour- 0330 so I can meet my aunt and go to the CBS thing starting at 0530, then off to NRP class for work. Hope everyone has a great Friday and good luck to those in races this weekend!

Hey all, (probably good morning...)<br><br>
I had a similar running experience to <b>EQ</b> today. I was trying to make up for a couple of missed runs, so I was going to try and go kinda long this afternoon. I petered out at 13 miles, toughed out one more then started walking home. It started pouring down rain right about the time I died out there, so I got soaked and cold on my walk home. Aaaaanyways, "insert <b>Cus</b> quote here". 14 miles in 2 hours.

<b>QOD</b>: Garmin 201. Got it the day I started running seriously.<br><br><b>Refueling</b>: A few years back a bunch of friends and I went over to play Bandon Dunes (golf nuts know about that course) and we were finishing up our 35th hole, right along the Pacific Ocean as the sunset. I looked up to admire the view and there, maybe a mile up, was a re-fueling mission. One of the coolest, most serene moments of my life.
