Guess I'm going to go with the goal of sub 42 or better since I have only ran a 10K once and that was like 4 or 5 years ago when I was not a runner, so I will again be airing on the exceptionally conservative side.

If that 18:50 was legit then I should smash this easily.

Secondary goal is to start a better kick a good deal sooner than the last 50m of the race.

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."

6 hr run

Gee, I don't know. 36 would thrill me, I think. 50K would be enough for me.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Nice, especially since the forecast at the moment calls for Yankee Homecoming conditions. I'm going for 17:59 myself, see you there.

Look, the takeaway is to run bitchier. For you, that means race by feel.

My takeaway from this is that I mostly feel bitchy?

OK. I can buy that - I just didn't understand the higher math because using my fingers and toes I got 4.8 in that equation and wasn't sure what that was all about.
