OK -- for serious now.

Ran some strong 800m intervals (5x) in the middle of a 10-mile run during the middle of a 101 degree day. And it felt good and right.

Purdey pleased?

Aahhh - just got that - it probably only works really well if you speak with an American accent.

Well played though anyway.

What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.

Temps like that are exactly why I'm a pre dawn runner.

Great job and how much weight were you down when you got back...I'm sure you probably sweated out at least 5 lbs.

this is a great thread, should be weekly, maybe every Monday after weekend races/runs. what does everyone think??

Yep - good thread. Bares repeating or continuation (if not repeating, maybe a sticky).

Green Jewel 50K (Ohio) - March 3

Fools 50K Trail Run (Ohio) - April 1

North Coast 24 (Cleveland) - May 4/5

...we'll see how things go from there.

Right around there, yeah. I drank quite a bit at the 8-mile mark, so the weight loss didn't look too terribly drastic.

Those are some serious numbers you are posting. Good job.

Had the longest run (time wise) of my life today. Ran for 3 hours and 14 minutes, and covered 23.4 miles on a very hilly course. My 10 year old son rode his bike along side. I was surprised he wanted to ride for that long and for that distance given the run started at 5:00 am.

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!

Didn't run today but I went ROCK CLIMBING for the FIRST time in my entire 55 years! I was always too fat and in my mind, I just couldn't put myself through the embarrassment of hanging up there in all my 200+ pounds. Not so anymore. Scratch this one off the Bucket List!!

Upcoming Races

Disneyland Half
AF Halloween Fun Run
Disney World Half
Ogden Marathon (I think...)

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

This morning I fell 2.5k in to my run. Scraped hands, knees and side of my leg. But no serious injury so I got up and carried on and finished my 20k run Smile

I survived a long night at work with super stiff and twinging legs after my 2nd 20 miler yesterday.. and broke 20 days consecutive running, which is a big milestone for me because even in my hardcore high school XC days it was 5 1/2 days a week (1/2 is for the easy saturday jog-around), albeit 5 of those days had 2 workouts each.

No water stations though... LOL!
