2000 miles of Grand Union Canal baby

June 4 - June 10 racing thread (Read 962 times)

    PRs on solo, laughable goals and reasons all around - great efforts.

     

    And finishing a race without road rash is always a plus, I mean roads are hot this time of year and how who wants to eat tar Tight lips

     

    Another week of success is a definite Yes!  Now can we have pancakes Big grin

    or waffles

     

     

    This picture just made me crave waffles. Might just have to bust out out the ol' waffle iron tomorrow morning. Big grin

    They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that. "If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a Board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough" If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death. "Don't fear moving slowly forward...fear standing still."


    Idiot

      Agreed on both counts. But Drew, you're a 1:32/20 guy. I feel like you can run under 42 this year. Then again the 10k is like an enigma wrapped in mystery.

       

      You're not wrong, at all.  That said, if I'd done any training whatsoever in the last month, I could have gone under 42 easily today.  But I'm more than willing to live with the PR achieved on the recent training I've done. 

       

      And when I race a 10k again in Sept/Oct, I suspect my current PR will no longer be acceptable.

       

      Weather/woulda/coulda/shouldaneverstoppedtrainingforfourweeks are all lame excuses, but my legs tell me I'm a 1:29/19/40 guy.  I just haven't actually, y'know... done it, yet.

      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.

                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.

                  Not in Chicago

                    Congratulations Willie - no pressure but now go back to back.  

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

                      Congratulations Willie - no pressure but now go back to back.  

                       

                      Thanks all - and to think I suck at pool so its the only Eight ball I'll manage to hit.  Big grin

                       

                      Thanks L - if I smack into the wall heading into Canal Park, I'll think of this exact quote and may be cursing you.

                      Or thanking...either way if it works I'll take it.  

                       

                      update on bruised heels - right feels good, left still sore.  Try treadmill today, if bothersome hit the bike.  But feels better after track meet in comparison to past race recoveries.  Taking it as a good sign.  Too bad Grandma's course isn't made of Mondo...


                      Was it all a dream?

                        Congrats Willie!  Hope the heels cooperate on Saturday!

                        I'm in the business of misery...

                          Horrah, Willie!

                            Good job, Willie!
