race obsessed
Still absorbing your report as I (hopefully) will be in it next year.
The angst is already building...
Damn fine race Jay.
Hello Jay,
I finished two places behind you at the Turkey Trot a couple years ago: http://www.buffalorunners.com/results/2013/tt13.htm. I've been noticing how your times keep getting faster and faster since then.
Just curious about the two 5ks on Saturday. Don't you feel like that harmed your performance on Monday. Or was it that you were not concerned about a PR effort at Boston so the 5ks were just for fun?

Jay is pretty much otherworldly around these parts. He once ran 40 miles as a shakeout run the morning of a marathon...or something like that.
I hear Jay once raced a racehorse and beat it. He actually had to slow down so's not to embarrass the horse.
We should have a "Jay716 Facts" thread.
Jay doesn't qualify for Boston, Boston qualifies for Jay.
PRs:
5k - 20:51 - 9/5/15
10k - 47:00 - 5/25/15
15k - 1:10:19 - 11/21/15
13.1 - 1:42:25- 4/25/15
26.2 - TBD (someday)
The Large Hadron Collider was first developed to see if scientists could accelerate particles to the speed of Jay.
NOT Chuck Norris, guys... lol.
Millar, Hi. I recognize you from buffalorunners.com. The two 5Ks were just for fun, and not PR attempts, so I figured "why not?" Still within the realm of taper mileage, maybe they took something away from Boston, but maybe not. If I get to where I want to be for next year, I'll be more disinclined to pull a similar stunt.
Hip Redux
They've stopped measuring aircraft speed in Machs and now measure them in Jays.
Chuck Norris & Bill Brasky are both in awe of Jay's exploits.
Found one of Jay's race pics.
