Got in 10+ yesterday early, another 10+ this morning.  I am stealing borrowing Gator's "10" plan.

QOTD: Did you hear about the US swimmers that were robbed, held by gunpoint over the weekend in Brazil...so the question is have you ever been the victim of a crime?

I was mugged at age 16 (I think it was also on my actual 16th birthday) by a gang in Quebec Canada.  We were on a French class field trip and walking the old part of the city.  It was a surreal experience.  They stole my jacket.  Apparently it matched their jackets and they wanted it!

Have a great day!

I'm taking it easy today.  I over did it in the heat yesterday, with a 2 hour run and then some yard work. Had a bad headache last evening, which is rare, for me.

5-6 days of hot humid weather and then looks like a break.  My plan is "Treadmill 800's" tomorrow in the air conditioning.

QOTD:  Car broken into years ago and they also stole my roof top bike rack. Insurance covered it and I got a better rack since what I had was out of stock. Nothing much taken from the car, but hassle getting window replaced.

Spending some time today getting ready for our trip to Michigan. I'll probably get in a 6-7 mile run later this afternoon.

Eastern States update:  It looks like 197 started and 66 finished for a drop rate of ~66% .  Devon Olson won in 20:30:36.39.  This was his 2nd or 3rd time running it and is a new course record which is kind of surprising considering the heat and humidity.

Call of the Wilds had 158 registered and 91 finished. No Idea how many actually started. One person was DQ'd. I've seen that several times recently and have been wondering what people do to get DQ'd.

DS ran a newer race, The Elk County Boulder Dash. It's also up in the northern part of the state but a little farther west than Eastern States and Hyner. A 20 mile event. They had around 160 signed up and only about 6-10 dropped out. They also DQ'd two people.  DS finished in 6:01.  Not real good for a 23 year old but the  little idiot uh, darling little boy, didn't train a bit for it. Probably was running less that 5 miles a week.   He said it's not anywhere near as technical as Hyner.

LB2 - Doesn't surprise me a bit, I knew all those crazy Cajuns originated in Quebec .

QOTD:  The biggest thing I can remember was down in San Antonio TX. We were down for DS's Air Force Basic graduation and the vehicle was broken into in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. Think we lost over $2500.00 of computers and such stuff. Getting the window fixed was the easiest part of that.  San Antonio police suck. They acted like it was our fault.

 

QOTD: Not really.  The worst I had happen was getting my bike stolen in college.  It was sitting in the back of our garage unlocked.  A hard lesson learned as a poor college kid who needed her bike for transportation.

Ohhh. I forgot. I had my bike stolen while I was in college. But it was recovered before he got very far. The guy was riding a bike and had mine rolling beside him. The campus officer thought that looked suspicious. He was right. So, I got it back not long after I realized it was missing.

Must be something like cutting the course , either by mistake or intentionally and not wanting to go back and correct their error.

At Ironmasters a few years back, some people missed a well marked turn  and only one woman went back to retrace her steps.  The others were given a DNF, but the timing guy (Ron from PCS) said he should have done it as DQ.

I was surrounded by a gang in Galveston. I swung my old Nikon into the leaders head. I knocked him out cold and ran. The rest of the gang froze watching him fall so I got away. I hit him so hard it broke the glass in lens.

I like your style .

At Elkhorn the first two runners across the finish in the 50K were DQed because they missed an out-and-back section that cut off 3+ miles. Both the website and the pre-race instructions the night before had emphasized being sure to run up to that aid station and being sure someone recorded your number.

I plan to do 5 after work today. for some reason I just felt like sleeping in this morning.

qotd: when my DW and I lived in Brooklyn our apartment was burgled while we were away at work.  We didn't know it for a few hours and then noticed a few things missing like some jewelry and a fist-full of subway tokens.  We were newly married and kind of scraping by so the person didn't get much.
