    Someday when I am a complete fatass with no hope I will pay to travel for this race.

     

    That's why I am doing this now. Big grin

    I want to do it because I want to do it.  -Amelia Earhart

     

      So, that Mid-Winter Classic 10 miler race that MilkTruck was gonna do... It's one of my favorite races, and this year it filled up super quick and I missed out. I was bummed. MT was nice enough, when he decided his hamstrings were a no-go, to transfer his (highly sought after) bib to me. So now I get to run, and this just confirms the fact that MT is indeed a very cool guy.

       

      It's a roly-poly hilly course, and last year I ran 1:10:17, probably in a bit better shape than I'm in now. I'll aim to beat that. (MTA: I'll aim for sub 1:10, actually.)

       

      And MT, next time we meet, beers on me!

      A list of my PRs in a misguided attempt to impress people that do not care.

        Nice. I really enjoyed running this one last year.

          Suck down all those donuts and you will be well on your way to fatass-dom.  Good luck!

            Gasparilla Half Marathon on 2/24. I want to run this one faster than I did last year.

              I like how well you phrased that.  "Beers on me" is potentially very different than "Beer's on me".

              Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

                2/17 - mstuartm - Taste 10K, Athens, GA - <41:00

                  2/23 -- CliveF -- Charlotte Ten-Miler (Charlotte NC) -- Goal = um, I dunno, sub-68?  (PR's 1:09:07 from MAR2012, FWIW.)

                    2/2 - Race to the Plate 5k - Cola SC  < 18:00

                    2/9 - Some 5k < 17:40

                     

                    Not sure which race I'm running on 2/9 but I figure 3 straight weeks of 5k's will get my act in gear.

                        Parklife - you still running this one?  I'm still 100% on but after yesterdays 5,000 at 18:18 it ain't looking good for my <37:47 goal.  I was secretly hoping to dip under 18 flat for yesterday's race.  I guess I'll still keep that goal but even <38 looks like a stretch.   Maybe we can meet up before the race ....

                          You got it right, thanks.

                           

                          This seems like as good a spot as any to volunteer to do a month's racing thread. Does anybody have dibs on April? If not, I'll do it.

                              I'm in for the Zionsville Groundhog 7-miler with the other locals.  Won last year in 39:02.  We'll go 38:40 for the goal this year -- I should be a little faster than last if I remember my flats this time.  Big grin
