    Should I be biking in place of my easy runs?

    You suck. You should just quit. Jackass. Welcome back.

        If so, will investing in green energy ever make sense or is it just shoving money down a black hole?

          Will the Raiders make the playoffs?  Will McFadden stay healthy?  Will Randy Moss catch more or less than 8 TDs this year?

            Is it really better to burn out than to fade away?

              Does everyone that runs Monkey really send Trent beer?  Because that's a lot of beer.  Where does he keep it all?

                    Walt is real.  

                      Raiders aren't making the playoffs. 

                       

                        Speaking of setting the bar. It's only August but if I were to throw out some over/unders without research, looking at PRs or McMillan, here's what I'd come up with:

                         

                        1. Nader     3:10
                        2. L Train    3:13
                        3. EGH3      3:19
                        4. WaltRB    no fucking idea

                        Anyways, so we are all hoping to BQ, eh?

                         

                        L Train, is anyone from your crew of 12 (?) an RA member?  

                         

                        Walty, where you at dawg?

                          beaulieume, sailorrunner, egad.  Maybe Dave T. but he's injured.

                           

                          Most of us locals are on RA, but many aren't doing Philly for whatever reason. 

                           

                          Unfortunately (actually fortunately for me because he's in much better shape than me) Greg C will be laying it on the line at Baystate instead. 

                           

                          FWIW, Mrs. Train and I (and three kids!) are booked at Embassy Suites Sat-Weds.  There had better not be any puking until Sunday afternoon.

                            And yes, reality for me is BQ for 2014 with a 3:20 or so.  Maybe if training goes better than I expect I will adjust.

                              This is the first time that I'm paying any heed to Boston registration protocol, so indulge me:

                               

                              Is Boston 2013 going to be all full come 11/18?

                               

                              MTA: Gonna be fun with the family, post race.  I woulda invited Soph, but as it turns out, she is a pain in the ass. 


                              Not in Chicago

                                Unless something changes from the last two years, yes - it will be full by the end of September.  I don't know what they are doing with the 200-5000 deferments so I would imagine even with tighter q standards it will still fill immediately. 

                                 

                                My Q time changes from 3:15 to 3:25 between 20-13 and 2014 anyway.  Even if it were open after Philly, 3:15 might be too aggressive for me.  Plus, the selling point on this is that I could take 18 months between marathons.  I'm making the case that Monkey 2013 does not count as a marathon because mikey said so.
