Maybe it's just in comparison to the old guy next to him?
Haha.

Yep. My connecting flight was canceled and so I was stuck in Romulus. Not exactly a tourist destination, it didn't seem.
Nope, people go there to fly or work at the airport, that's it. lol
No it is not. Nor a destination for locals, for that matter.

Does this Oski actually exist? I need proof. Reminds me of the wizard of oz.
I'm really just a 19 year old pimply-faced kid who lives in his parent's basement. Sorry.
Why would people even fly there?
Because they have an airport.
What I really want to know is if you showed up for dinner in your mascot costume
How else was Dave going to recognize me??

That sounds about right for your level of skill. 24 weeks right?
Yessir.
Counting back clips the first 3 weeks off, no whoop - low and easy stuff. The next few weeks are just building mileage. I get into some meat at week 7, (5 x (4 min @ 5k pace +3 min easy)) around 8 miles.
That is how running by HR feels at the beginning. It will get better (and faster) soon.
It is a trip to slow down when my HR touches 150... pffft I'm barely doing anything at that HR.
I did the Daniels 24 week 5k plan, it's really not that bad because you will be racing from time to time. The days become weeks, become months and before you know it; it's all a distant memory.
Welcome aboard, Eric! You have the speed to BQ (sub-3:25 is I think what you will need?) in your first marathon, all you need now is to maintain that speed while you work at endurance. You have enough time for that between now and 2015. You'll do great, I'm sure.
If I ever win an award in running and I'm asked to give a speech, happylily will have to be in it. It could start like this:
"First of all I'd like to thank happylily for being my promoter and mentor on the RA B&B user group..."

LOL... And if you ever get sponsors, I expect a cut.
