I didn't even know this person was still logging:

The most painful 30:00 per mile pace in history. Full kit + IBA, Allen out in a swarm of fireants, 30 seconds of OPFOR contact, blisters on both feet and massive blisters on neck, rain and mud ... back at FOB at 0500. Jesus. Hell yes its a run.

Heres one for yall.

 

FUDDDDGE. Left my watch at home, which is a good thing, since I can't run more than two blocks without stopping for a coughing fit. I threw up a little in my mouth. I lost all my cough drops through the little hole I discovered in the pocket of my running shorts. This is retarded, and I am demoralized.

Lol. that would be brat. only she uses fudge as a swear word...

Love it.

Shitty run. Literally.

 

Too much beer and wine the night before (Old Crow Medicine Show at the Ryman!) combined with the low grade stomach funk I've had hit me about 20 minutes before the start. Had to drop a load behind some building. 10 minute warm-up, no underwear, 22 degrees, overdressed, and not in the mindset to race. Some punk kid got the jump on me at the gun. We (the top three) followed the stupid cop the wrong way just before 2 miles into the race, which added a good 45 seconds onto the time. The legs never felt good. Wow, results up and my official time was 17:55--17:10 or so if you take the 45 seconds off. What a shit of a race.

 

Yep. You have definitely started 2010 off right. Be prepared for huge PR's from here on out.

 

All the cool fast kids are doing it.

Excellent. I'm psyched.

 

 

I bet  the resolutionaries haven't even thought of that one. "In 2010, my goal is to do more beshitting, which will lead to faster races. "

 It's called candicing.

And you call yourself a member of the swamp...
