Super B****

    Nice job getting out there HC, Blue, Cy.  LRB, did you run while OMFGing this morning?

     

    8 this morning.  It's not often the East River freezes, because of the briny water from the sea, but it was cold enough this morning. When it's freeze-yo-whiskas cold, numbers don't matter anymore...

     

     

     

     

    I knew there was a reason we chose to stay away from the water this morning!   (Actually, I think that had to do with the wind.  But anyway.  How did you get pictures?!  I tried but my phone froze.  Literally.)

      Sorry Docket.  Not all things come in line on race day.  Great job toughing it out to finish (been there)!

       

      Cy - Don't recognize the Empire State Building in the first photo? 

       

      Dave - That's a heavy duty looking metal.  I may have to get me one of those!

       

      Geography is not my strong point, as you can see. I asked because it looked like a big ass city. Now I know why.

        Damn. I know how much you love your mountain dew and krispy kreme pre-race meal, it must've pissed you off having to toss it up. Boo.

         

        I could barely eat them this morning. It must have been something I ate yesterday because I woke up with a premonition. I tried to eat anyway because I didn’t want to start on an empty stomach but it sure didn’t help!  And then I took a Nuun at a water station at Mile 10. That finished the stomach.

              Docket, congrats on marathoning!  AGAIN.

               

              The cold defeated me today.  It was 0 degrees when I started out, and I mentally broke less than a mile in.  My feet got numb, my hands hurt, my face (especially my nose) got way too cold, and breathing sucked.  I decided there is no reason to deal with this shit, so I quit at 1 mile, then went to the gym and did 7.7 warm miles on the treadmill.  I regret nothing.  Well, except that my iPod was dead so I ran sans music.  No music on the treadmill isn't so bad when you never listen to music on runs anyway.

                Nuun is disgusting under any circumstances, imho.

                Sorry about all that.

                  Docket, sorry it was a tough race.

                   

                  Onemile, I finally got my tights yesterday and wore them today. Pretty warm, I did have a pair of capris under them. I also probably should have taken the time to go to the Athleta store (about 15 minutes away) to try them on. They must run a bit big, the mediums are a little loose and long, but I'd rather have the extra length.

                    5.4 miles on the trails this morning. Super foggy and humid.

                      Have you contacted Garmin Support? KC Runs mentioned it yesterday but I didn't see it till this morning.

                        They definitely run big.  I got a small tall and then a small regular and the small regular fits smaller than the small tall fyi. The tall one is slightly big on me but the small reg fits pretty good.

                         

                        MTA - also they only sell regular length in the store, no talls. At least not in my area (we have 2 stores)

                            Sorry about all that.

                             

                            It was also the color of water so they tricked me. Fuckers. That was disgusting.

                              I probably could have gone with the regular length seeing how these bunch. It didn't seem like they sold the tall in my local store, it didn't show as in stock.

                                But they updated the website today because the Mk1's estimated availability is now 1-2 weeks and this morning it was 2-3 weeks
