    I had a 16 mile workout run that I totally destroyed 

     

    URP ran with me and we killed that bitch. I am feeling good about Houston.

    That, you did!

      That, you did! 

       

      Thank you for the summation in the Stotan thread. It seemed as if every other post was a dissertation. Had me wondering if the topic was running, or neurosurgery.

        also, I ate a Maurten gel (caff 100) during this run and my thoughts... it is like a mildly sweet but flavorless jello. it seems to be more volume than a gu and takes longer to eat.  I didn't gag or have a problem with it though.  it was fine.  not tasty or like a treat but it didn't bother me to eat it. It definitely lacks that SUPER SWEET ick factor of gu that bothers me later in a race - it's way toned down in sweetness.

            Nice job, onemile! The lack of sweetness would bother me but maybe eating it late in the race and keeping the sugary ones during the early miles might work for me. Although the caffeine alone might give me a heart attack, lol.

              I veto this! It is ok for January but after? just no.

               

              Guess you better get up early and start one!

                Lol

                So if I post at 430am before my run, is that early enough??

                  Maybe, depending on how lazy people are on that day. I’ve started them, even after my run, so there’s a chance.

                    This was never an issue back when weezer, photogtom, gustav and moth audio were in the mix. Shit, I never even started them myself because it was a wrap most days before 6:30 am. Nowadays, and it's been the case for years now, 9:00 seems to be the wtf time...although on some days, it can get up to 10:00 am.

                      Most of those guys are before my time. But I remember flarunner - was that here? She would post at 6AM ET...after finishing a 20-miler.

                        She started pretty much every L&O daily for a while.  She even ran a winter contest one year.  I wonder what happened to her.  And I miss Moth.

                          Woah. I've finished 8 miles by 6am and thought that was impressive/crazy

                            Just spent 60 min to add Mona workout to my watch 

                             

                            Watch wasn't recognized by computer, garmin express needed update, wtf is my Garmin connect pw, how do I get the repeats right...but finally success!

                              6 miles and strength training. Tried to wait for the rain to end, but no luck. At least it was a warm rain. Now I need to rest up to drive up to PA tomorrow to move MIL.

                               

                              Unless I am doing a race, no way am I the first one posting. In 2017, my mileage game team had a lot of early risers. I usually check FB when I drink my coffee in the morning and there would be multiple posts from multiple people who had already run. It was 6:30.

                                IDK but it would probably be tough to find out, because she seemed to be one of those who was completely anonymous on the forums - never knew her real name or saw a picture. It was a while before I even knew she was a she.
