Will Crew for Beer
Ouch. That wouldn't be good for me. I ran the R&R Nawlins half two years ago and we stayed in the French Quarter. It was ugly. Every night we wrapped it up with begnets at Cafe Du Monde. 3AM we'd be over there eating those things drunk off our asses. Believe it or not I actually ran OK at the race.
I'm staying in the Quarter also. I won't be able to resist beignets and cafe au lait. And crawfish is in season! Yum. I haven't had any of the beers from NOLA Brewing yet, so of course I'll have to sample those.
My only hope will be to make sure I continue to run as much as possible so that I don't gain 15 pounds.

Wow! So apparently I need to triple my weekly mileage and stop taking days off to get ready to run a marathon? I got exhausted just reading his weekly training schedule. I'm going to go take another nap now...

Yes! Triple mileage, cut weight by a third. You (we) too can run a 2:35!
You just know once spaniel's psoas it better, there'll be a stunt based on this ...

Dude is insane. All I can assume is that the 3% decline enables that sort of silliness. I trained badass back in the day but at half his age, training to run ~12 minutes faster, I wasn't doing that much quality in a week and probably doing less total volume. But I had zero treadmill back then.

I get healed there will be hell to pay this fall. I am getting to the point that I can count my remaining training cycles left to hit PRs on one hand.
Looks like his current BMI is 20.6. Mine's 20.7, so probably if I skip lunch tomorrow, I'll be his equal in that regard...
W10: 147.7
Oh shit.
Oh and that dude is crazy for being 52. Crazy dedicated and fast that is. Reminds me to continue to lose my flab. Once accomplished I plan to write a book called "Moob be Gone"

W10: 168.4.
Looks like W9 wound up in the W10 column somehow.
120.6
I'm beginning to hate this challenge.
We went to an indoor "splash park" type place Sunday afternoon. It's loud, crowded, and the water's fairly cold ... so I went in with my son and a friend while my wife stayed on the sidelines in street clothes. It's the first time in a long while that she's seen me in swim stuff and around other people.
She has officially started giving me shit for being "too skinny". And that's how I know I'm finally getting into running shape.
(I weighed 202 shortly after moving to NC in 2005. Started running in fall 2009 at ~195. I'm 155-157 now.)
Congrats on that transformation. Stay motivated.

You may have posted your W9 weight after the week was up. Or I could have screwed up. Anyway I adjusted it for you.
Not at it at all.
