        LOL. I was in a wedding many years ago, DH had a how to play poker book that he was reading. He set it inside the bible (Catholic church wedding).

          Bluerun, is there a wedding program? If so, set the book in it?

            Haha no, no program. Because these things are always the same so everyone knows what's happening.

             

            I don't know why everyone can't just elope. I'm happy they're happy, but FFS, leave me out of it

              the important part to my coach is to cover the range of paces, meaning starting medium and getting to like mile race pace for the 15 secs at the end. and the other important part is to not drop the pace too much on the recoveries - keep moving so it's not much of a recovery (moderate pace, faster than easy).  Hammering from the beginning and not being able to increase the pace toward the end is the wrong way to run it.  The pace chart needs to slant upward with the recoveries holding at a steady pace (or even faster recoveries for the shorter intervals so it's not so hard to get back to speed)

               

              I haven't done the workout enough times to be "good" at it.

              Today I did not go all out during the 15 seconds, as I sometimes do, and the slope is not very steep. I started the 90s at about 10K pace, floats at about MP, during the 30 secs I was probably at around 5K pace / MP, and the 15 seconds are too short for my watch to correctly keep track of the pace changes, but I know I didn't have the pedal to the metal. Close, though.

                  Neither have I. It's kinda tricky to get right and there are different variations and ways to run it so you don't necessarily have to do it the way that my coach wants me to do it (I was just explaining how he wants it run, which I didn't understand at first because it's more about touching a range of paces than about the average pace)

                    Only one way to find out for sure.

                      For sure! That's why I leave it in my watch. Today I didn't feel like pushing extra hard, because of my hip (turns out it's fine, but I didn't know that), but however you do it, it's still 20 minutes!

                        I assume asking isn't the way?


                        It would be great if I did it and was banned from all future events but I wouldn't be that lucky.

                            I can verify that this is not what happens to people who become drunken idiots at these things. (Nor do I plan to do that, because what a waste of liquid calories.)

                              Started watching It Chapter 2 last night, wifi got turned off just as Bill got to the carnival part. Been trying to watch the rest at my office, ugh the interruptions!!!! I got like 15-20 minutes left on it.

                                I'd probably skip the race if I hadn't convinced URP to sign up as well 

                                but the alternative is probably a 20 mile LR anyway so this will switch things up
