      April 16 - Asbury Park Half Marathon 

       

      Goal: TBD 

      "If you have the fire, run..." -John Climacus

        Boston, then many beers and a good long nap. Then more beers.

         

        MTA: Crap, this is a goal thread. For now I'll say 3:10.

          10 Miles

          Kutztown Fools' Run

          Kutztown, PA

           

          Goal:  This will be a fitness check.  I will come up with an actual time later.

          Not at it at all. 


          Hawt and sexy

            Gansett Marathon April 16, I hope to be in PR shape by then.

             

            MTA- If things work out, I can watch Boston and meet the shit-faced peeps.

            I'm touching your pants.

                Dude, WTF?  It's fucking February.  I will put a time goal on this thing.

                 

                I ran a PR in this race last year.  It was the first race that I went watchless, and I'll do it again.  I will race this fucker because I want a benchmark compared to last year.  Then I will know.

                 

                So fuck off with the cop out shit.

                 

                Oh yeah, and this ......  Wink

                Not at it at all.

                  Hey, I have to run a fucking 5K in the morning with no speedwork under my belt.  Somebody has to pay for my grumpiness.  

                   

                  I only dish it to those who can take it.  (With a couple exceptions).  

                   

                  I'm just learning what a task stepping up for this was for you last year in that other forum.  First day and already changes and all.  That's why I'm going by the month.

                    Yeah, I can take it.  I dish it out so I must.

                     

                    But this race is important to me.  It really will be the first indicator of what I have lost, since I was running well last year when I ran it.  The bottom dropped out about three weeks after the race last year.  I will race it.

                     

                    As far as running the thread went, it wasn't that hard.  I had a system.  What made it hard was that I wasn't running or racing.  I really felt like going away for a while but I had that thread hanging over my head.  Talk about grumpy.

                    Not at it at all. 

                      4/30 - Rotorua Marathon (NZ Marathon Championships).  Goal: to win a national medal.  Any colour is fine with me.  Yes there'll eventually be a time goal too.  Probably around 3.10.  We'll see.

                            You think you can recover from that 5K in time to run the 100K?

                              That's a nice rounded number?

                               

                              Good luck!

                                There's an obscure and infantile reason for it, but it's probably hard to find.
