Prince of Fatness
I'll start this by saying that the eight ball is probably the thing that I care the least about in these weekly threads. Each week there seems to be many outstanding performances by the Swampers. The weekly thread displays these performances quite nicely. That's why I took this thing over, 'cause it's inspiring to see what everyone in this place is achieving. I really don't like the idea of singling anyone out, especially considering that it may be a 5K PR vs. a kick ass ultra for example. My objective for taking this on was to ensure that the weekly racing threads continue.
To me, this is the spirit of the weekly thread. Run a race, post a goal, get support from your fellow Swamp mates win or lose. That's what I'm, focused on.
This is not to say what guys like A1 are doing is not big. A1 is in a magical place with his running right now. Everyone here knows it. Everyone here has commented on it. Everyone here respects the work that goes into it.
So, while I am running the weekly threads you must post a goal to get the eight ball.
I can't believe I just wasted precious moments of my life to post this.
MTA: Just to be clear because there seems to be a little confusion leftover, you can report races after the fact, they just are not eight ball eligible.
MTA2: And this stupid f'in eight ball thingy will be decided on Tuesdays (this assumes that I have time for it), so report your times early and often. No mercy for the lax.
MTA3: If you want to change your goal, do it by creating a new post. I do not reread the whole thread every time I update the list. I simply pick up where I left off. So, if you Nads™ your post, there is an excellent chance that I will miss it. 'Prec.

Yeah, and what a week for him to take it over. I think he just looked at the list and went, "What do I do with that."
Heh. Finn is tweaking. With great power comes great responsibility. Dont. Fuck. It. Up. Dude.
Just remember your own advice in the coming months, grasshopper.

Runners run.
Heh. Finn is tweaking.
Nah, I'm in the acceptance stage right now. The DNF was the kick in the ass that I needed. I'm thinking of pulling a Jeff and getting out the door 45 - 60 minutes a day until I get through this. I just want to maintain some fitness. I've got a good thing going and the sooner I get back to some serious training the better.
And I had already considered Scout's suggestion, but some people actually like the eight ball so I'll keep it going. It just won't be my primary focus.
my opinion on this matter shouldn't count one bit, as I don't have any skin the game.
Hometown AG win.
I had suggested to Dakota at the post Boston Swamp Meet Up the idea of a scratch of the week, for the biggest blow up or fail. Half kiddingly.
He was too nice a guy to do that.
Just tossing it out there.
Idiot
+3 for Mikey. Is this considered a hat trick?
The new mikeymike. Slimmer, sleeker, agreeable.
Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.
