    I ran 14 miles with DBRP and 3 others but DB thinks going slower than an 8:30 pace is of no benefit to him (a 3:22 marathoner ) so we ended up running ahead of the others for most of it. Anyway 14 miles is my longest run in awhile so there's that. I might run with them again tomorrow

     

    Does DBRP have a jealous gf to worry about?

      I don't disagree with you, but I also understand him. I was not running slow either before. People were telling me I should, but I didn't. I did not see the point. I was doing all right

       

      I'm not suggesting anyone should intentionally run slow if they are feeling good. But aiming for an arbitrary acceptable pace cutoff? Dumb.

       

      Anyway, that's not why he's a douche  it has nothing to do with running at all

        nope, he is very single (complains that he can't get a lady )

          Is he cute? How old is he? Come on, you say he's a db, but no details on what makes him a db...

            he's a year older than me. he's not bad looking but here's an example.

             

            he was in a car accident a few weeks ago where another car sideswiped his car.  he got out and yelled and swore at the other driver. Called her an idiot and threatened to tell the police that she was texting while driving (which I think he had zero evidence of) and that she probably doesn't even have insurance etc etc, and he said while he was screaming at her he was laughing in his head and thought it was funny but he just wanted to make sure she took the incident seriously so he had to set the tone.

              Your judgment is correct. Gross.

                I hate it when people yell. When people don't yell back, they think they won the "argument". I don't yell back. If I do, it's because the wired have touched and I don't want that. So I usually let them yell and all the while I simply think he/she's an idiot. So much for "winning an argument".

                    Cyberic,  are you sure it's nutrition related? I find with heat and/or humidity,  I can run long OR hard.  I can't combine the two. Basically,  the workout portion is doable,  but I overheat, so the rest of the run is a run/walk/curse everything.

                     

                    Onemike, yep, he sounds like a double.

                      Not sure, but I have to practice nutritioning anyways for the marathon, so...

                          I am sad this race went virtual. Look at the size of the medal they sent me:

                              Makes me sad that the race said it might not come back in 2021 after 15 years...

                                But just got an email from my September HM and it's still a go! 

                                 

                                Limited to 750 for the HM. Since this is the same people that have done races already I wonder if the city will say OK so long as the gathering size of 250 be preserved (corrals, etc.) They released the guidelines and they look OK.
