Nope. PR is 25:37 on 11/4/12. My log on here doesn't go back that far.
Well then it's a log PR, yay!
Baboon finished his 26.2 mile easy jog in 3:23:09. Which is still 30 sec faster than my PR. But a lot slower than Kipchoge.
That's a bit impressive actually...for what it was anyway.
I ran 6.
It was 43 and windy so I broke out the light tights and long sleeves. I wouldn't have worn either of them for anything long, but was dressed just right for today's duration.
I’ll usually just get a drip coffee, but sometimes an Americano, and sometimes just espresso.
Espresso = win. All the time. and in Seattle you really can't go wrong with drip coffee.
I'll agree with LRB about it being a log PR! Woot!
Awesome job, Baboon!!!! Looking forward to reading his RR. Was this marathon kind of like a time trial for Space Coast to see what kind of shape he's in? I don't remember reading about this as a goal marathon (I'm pretty sure it's not), or if his coach had him doing this as part of a (long-assed) workout?
I was laughing to myself about Kipchoge's time...it was half the time of my most recent marathon. And I'm really not shaming myself (and I don't feel badly about myself), just more in awe over what the human body is capable of doing. So, so awesome.
I was in Tahoe. I had already made my mind up that I was going to hate because I've never liked it. The selection was a premium choice, and as I got to the bottom of the glass, it had kind of had grown on me.
LOL, this is almost always the case with me with new alcohols! I had a Manhattan last weekend that I was initially unsure of, but I was jonesin for another one by the end of the 1st (I somehow had the mental capacity to not order one--I think one more of them would push me over the edge!).

What about gloves? (Aren't your hands almost always cold?)
Nope. Log PR is 26;10
Oof, that's rough. You've put your cards on the table and will most likely be viewed as an obstructionist (in her mind) from here on out. Is an apology out of the question?
I will apologize for my behavior at least to everyone who was in the meeting other than her. To her, I still don't know. I might. Might not, either. I do not willingly do things unless I'm sincere.
Good job!
3rd place log PR then? LOL.
ETA: if it is actually a 3rd place PR (if I'm reading it accurately, which is subject to scrutinization, ha!) then you podium'd on your log!
He was just using this as a LR. Even a bit slow for him.

Ah, thanks!
I can dig it. As a professional though, decorum dictates that you should. You can be sincere without altering your stance on the issue(s) or your personal feelings about her. I am not trying to say that you were wrong or trying to needle you or anything, we're just kickin' it.
When the temps drop below 45 ish, that's a given. They were the thin one dollar knit ones.

True, and I trained right through this, and will be back at it tomorrow. I ran this by effort, and I certainly got slower as the race progressed, but the difference here is that I didn't care too much and didn't fight to hold my pace. This was actually the best I have felt in a marathon thanks to the effort, and at no point did I get that "Holy shit this race just needs to end" feeling. I mean I got tired, but I did't get marathon tired. Right now I feel like I do after any other LR. I was shooting for a 3:25, so this was perfect. I don't know about my placement...I ought to go look at that.
<3
Coffee...gross. Sure you can dump a bunch of sweet stuff in there but then what's the point?
It took me 2 years and many tries just to break 2 in the HM. Wow, just wow.
I had an amazing LR today. 18.5 miles with 8 mi progression (MP to HMP). Temp was cold for here at 57ish when I started at 5:45am. But was up to 70s when I finished. Average for the entire run was just a little slower than MP. But the most important part was that I felt strong the entire time! Those runs are rare. DS is getting over sickness and now DH sounds like death so I'll be quarantining myself for the foreseeable future.
