X-country 5k cancelled.
Poop!
Does anyone know if people will show up anyway? I mean, if there's not major weather going on...
Good Bad & The Monkey
A couple years ago, huge storms moved in but the event was not cancelled ahead of time. I showed up and Nick, Peter and Diana were the only ones there.
So. No. Not likely.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Thanky kindly.
Ah well, another summer of no XC 5ks for me.
Why is it sideways?
What the hell?
Thanks for the heads up.
The Thunder
1 Hip and 2 Hamstring reconstructions later…
6ish around Vandy or Belmont at 4pm or so, anybody?
no can do. But I can do 4ish around there at 8 PM.
Fall Race Calendar
September 26th - Shelby Bottoms Boogie 15k
October 3rd - StumpJump 50k
October 17th - Indy Marathon
November 22nd - Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon
December 12th - Huntsville Marathon
Maybe some stuff inbetween that...but those are the goal races. I need to PR at 15k, the 50k will be an auto PR if I can finish the damn thing, then PR at Indy, not sure what I want at HHFMM, and then a PR at Huntsville.
Yeah baby, The Thunder can smell Marathon season and I'm hungry!

Looks like you and The Thunder are going mano a mano starting 10/4 for 3 long races in a row! Yeah baby!
I may slip in a beer mile in November for the hell of it and redemption.
Where's the November beer mile? You could probably have a post-Monkey beer mile on Nov. 22 in the afternoon. We'll have a keg of Yazoo Pale Ale (which is over 5% abv), the XC course, and a bunch of runners. Just map out a quarter mile loop and throw down. Of course, any monkey finishers would be at a little bit of a disadvantage. And you probably shouldn't let the monkey RD know so he wouldn't get in trouble with the park board, the beer board, etc.

See ya at the Classic Ramsay!
