Yeah, well done Skoots. We will have to rain check the drunken Godfather Blu-ray fest.

All in all, though, I was somewhat reminded of this.

“I used to be a runner. Uh-huh. Not a marathoner. A runner. Marathons are bullshit. They’re all hype. Some official picks a random day, and rain or cold, you’re out there pounding the pavement alongside 50,000 other dumbfucks. No. There’s some things it’s better to do all by yourself.” Augustus Hill, Oz

I mean obviously it's not "Child's Play" for you to run 50 miles a week. Cause you hardly ever do it.

Heh.

There is a long dark road ahead of me.

Honestly it was the plan since January but I hit a couple of bumps in the road during February. That said a little extra motivation never hurts.

Seems like you'd be awfully backed up by then.

hum. i am dieting. Because I want to lose weight.

Any luck?

If we don’t try we’ll never know. At least I can find out how good I can be. I can have an answer at the end of the days, and have a hell of a good time with the process. -Desi Davila

I sort of thought this was a joke, turns out not.

I am down a bit of weight, I ran 15 weeks in a row with none under 100 with the last 8 @ 120+ and the last 2 24hours+ so it was hard not to lose some fat.

I started my taper at about 156 (i dont know if the scales are correct). i ofically entered the race at 160 and finished at 159.7& that is thanks to WrigleyGirl making me drink water and not walk off a cliff.

I am now about 165ish, this time last year I was closer to 172.

Thanks. Looks like any weight loss was not really diet-related, but more due to training volume. I want to drop like 10-15 over time.

I did change my diet a bit, i would go a few days with really small dinners and make sure I went to sleep hungry. sounds easy, but when you know you have to run 3 hours the next day it sort of blows.

I may try that, but with lunch as the light meal. Thank you.
