If you have innopportune stomach issues when you're out miles onto the trail: "leaves of 3 let them be."

I like the lion/gazelle quote a few pages back.

21st century PR's: 1 mile: 5:27 (11/02), 2 miles: 12:10 (9/10), 5K: 19:28 (9/10), 5 miles: 32:36 (10/10), 10 miles: 1:13:22 (3/10)
Goal? To try and make some of these into lifetime bests.

I think that should be followed under any circumstance, but esp. with stomach issues.

P.S. I have had those "issues" while running on a trail. 1km from finish, had to stop. I was sure to avoid areas where their were "leaves of three" I recommend if you cannot identify poison ivy/oak, you better learn if you want to run on trails. (I have a great eye for the stuff- can recognize it a mile away)

MTA: Kimmi311, if you decide to run on any of our lovely trails, avoid the edges at all costs. Their is TONS of poison ivy/sumac in our area. I cringe when I see people letting their dogs run along the edges, even if they do stay outta my way.

800m PR- 2:36

5k PR- 21:00 (road); 20:15 (trail)

10k PR- 49:00

10mi PR- 1:23:27

it's best if you treat it as a 10K race followed by a 20mi recovery jog.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

not really a running quote but my kids have always liked, "some people play with them and some people have them" as well as "yours may be of steel but mine are real"

THOMAS PAINE: "That which we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly."

I think he was talking about shoes.

2012 Goals:

1. 1500+ miles.

2. Streak starting in March or April if I'm healed.

3. 100 Push up challenge to get some upper body strength back.

4. Get weight under 180 by the end of the summer.

5. 1 or fewer alcoholic drinks 4+ nights per week every week.

6. Concentrate on 5K distance and September HM.

7. Have fun!

my away msg on AIM:

"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?' " - Peter Maher

"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."

Jesse Owens
