If it wasn't fun, I'd be doing something else. MTA: Winning helps...

ok but I think it's fun and I still look more like Jamie. you just have this look about you... it's like what I imagine Quenton Cassidy and Bruce Denton feel like... or at least it's the feeling I get from reading that book... it's this feeling like when you are running your world is truely at peace... i don't know how to describe it...

Jeff also wasn't "Racing" at quite the same effort level of Jamie and many of the others. I think JD was throwing it all out there, while Jeff was using a 'surgical' attack to achieve his victory.

This is true: my race wasn't an all out effort. Jamie PR'ed by like 2 minutes. He ran a really awesome race. Here's me just before the line when I ran my marathon PR in 07:

It's not all shits and giggles.

How are you reading OAR and only running 10 miles a week? Holy shit, if I picked up that book and re-read it again now...i'd be in big trouble. I'd be doing 80 MPW and getting ready to talk about my next stress fracture. Note to self...resist the urge to pick up that book and read it for the 15th time.

There's a famous running quote that I don't know who said, but it was running through my mind the whole race: "Train hard, win easy." I think that's what I was thinking at the time.

This is probably my worst 'pain face' from 08. Still no where nearly as pained as Jeff's in his marathon.

I like the nip. Glasses hide pain pretty well. I think I can see those eyes under there going kinda crazed.

Yeah, the nip was busting loose. That's just how I roll. The glasses are meant to help mask the pain. It was a dreary day though, and I couldn't wear the dark lenses. So a little of the pain comes through. Still, yours looks like death!

oh i know that must be what's going on because you are far from a baby. So I figured you must literally not be able to run! I was just trying to make you feel better by saying you are tough and not stupid.

I didn't mean that how it sounded. Sorry about that haha. I'm just in a pissy mood. Day three and all. I knew what you meant.

Marathon training rules. You'll have to update that mileage in an hour or so...

And 30 minutes less than it took me to run a mere 66. And unless I was gonna run 5 minute miles for 6 miles more "weiner" that makes me weinier than you. MTA: on the other hand I am not running monkey . MTA2: Cry

MTA3: Fuck I am slow.
