Tell me how you've HTFU'd lately (Read 2844 times)

WTG! I've HTFU by not breaking out a credit card to buy a new treadmill. Instead - I'm enjoying the great outdoors and will continue to do so all winter long.

You can do it! I managed over 1300 miles in '07 with not a single step on a dreadmill...it's definitely doable! k

That's easy for you to say, you run outside all the time!!!!

I resisted the temptation to by a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie by whispering "HTFU" repeatedly.

Ohhh, those are good. Now I want one.

What if my name is Stephan? hahaha

Nice! That's my middle name, so I guess I need to HTFU.

Well, besides the unfortunate circumstances surrounding my long run yesterday, I didn't head straight home today in spite of a very creepy guy in the park I was running in. The skies look like they are going to open up with rain and lighting any second, and the wind is pretty stiff, so I didn't want to get too far from my car. So I ran to the park that is close to my office and was just going to run around it. About a mile in, I came up to the end of a path and noticed a car had pulled up behind a dumpster and a pile of mulch, almost hiding, and was just sitting there. This is the most relatively remote section of the park, and in the almost two years I've been in this office I have never seen a car parked right there. I grabbed my cell phone and started dialing, and the instant I did the car took off. Even creepy lurking guys in parks won't stop me this week. Of course, I was a bit creeped out and immediately headed for the busy, carbon monoxide filled city street instead of the nice, quiet, peacful but creepy park.

Running-wise, not so much. But when I was stopped at a gas station the other day, I resisted the temptation to by a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie by whispering "HTFU" repeatedly.

Good work, Jeff. Though those are nasty. If you're gonna HTFU, make it over something really good...like a whole Boston creme pie, or sumfin'. k

Seriously, though... this week I've had 5 runs in a row lasting more than 1 hour non-stop, and in the 7 days of this month so far, I've run 42.1 miles (and that's with only 6 days of running - I took a rest day on the 4th). Now I just need to wait for my body to HTFU from the effects of the overtraining by taking a couple easy run days so I don't get an overuse injury... I can feel one looming on the not so distant horizon (it'll prob happen if I go for another 1 hour run tomorrow).
