      my goal for this entire week was to muster the courage to register for the damn thing and the further courage necessary to admit to you hooligans that i am actually planning to literally run an actual race. 

       

      so, i don't know, sub 24:30 maybe. whatever. who cares. not me, that's who. 

      JINGLE IT LIKE A BELL!

       

        12/1 -- 5k, Jolly Jaunt 5k -- sub 18 maybe

         

        12/2 -- 9.5 mi, Mill Cities Relay leg 4 -- sub 59 minutes

         

        Saturday needs to be a sub-maximal effort both in terms of running and post-race drink up in order to leave something in the tank for Sunday, so 18 may be a stretch, we'll see.

        Runners run.

          SANDBAGGER!

           

          I predict 23:23.

            I see you got sucked into the long leg at MCR also

             

            9.5 Mill Cities Relay leg 4 - sub 60 minutes

              Nice, so Scully changed it up. You couldn;t convince Lindsey to run the long one Wink

               

              I'm in for the 2.5 mile on a swollen ankle...should be fun times..guess I need to make sure to pregame since it worked so well for me at Monkey

               

               

              MTA: guess I need a goal time now since somebody put me on the race list Joking

               

              Goal: contribute to the co-ed masters team winning a brick..no clue on time but I guess 15-15:30 and hopefully not cause any additional damage to the ankle


              Fast is better than long

                I'm up in the air on this one.  PaulyG, any words of wisdom?

                 

                If you enjoy traditional cross country vs. road racing, this is a very fun race.

                It starts across a freshly plowed field (watch for ankle rolls)

                You then meander around a horse "eventing" course

                There are some very steep hills and they are single track.

                There will be a stream crossing and it looks like no ice, but it's boggy and you can easily lose a shoe.

                 

                Tip: Get out fast if you want to post a time, otherwise you'll suffer typical single track bottlenecks.

                2013 Goals: 2500 miles / 2:45 marathon? / sub 2 800m / 4:30 mile / sub 16 5K / sub hour 10 miles


                Give a man a fire and he'll be warm the rest of the night;
                Set a man afire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.

                     I hate you guys. I still may show up at the Claddagh. I had to bail. My heel spoke. And it said, "Get the fuck off of me!"

                      For my (and others'?) edification: 

                       

                      Are you racing the 5k as part of the "race my way back to fitness" thing? In this connection, I am kind of impressed/surprised that you jumped right back into semi-normal running soon after the race.

                        I'll speak for mikey because we've talked about this. Recovery from Monkey is easier than most marathons, as you are constantly mixing things up with the hills. Plus mikey didn't really race -- wasn't fit enough to hurt himself too bad.

                          What Jeff said. I didn't really race Monkey--after a couple of easy days I was basically back to normal.

                           

                          Also, I'm racing the 5k because a friend, who is on the BOD of the Special Olympics of Massachusetts, asked me to and said he'd buy the beer afterward. I am easily bought that way. BTW if anyone is in the spirit and wants to make a tax deductible donation FEEL FREE.
