Are we there, yet?
3 miles with 6 x 1:00 fartlek
Sue, I've always enjoyed the fixed time races because I see more runners and have more interaction with them. I'm not real big on running hours at a time without ever seeing another runner, even if the scenery is beautiful. They also simplify the logistics and aid stations are more frequent.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
LB - I did a true road run last week. Felt so hard, but probably because of the increased pace.
I think it had more to do with the heat for me, along with some overstriding. I always do that on the road. Everything hurt after that, but it all seems to have sort of shaken out after I ran this morning.
I just got back from a career day and the Marine recruiter made me do a bunch of ammo can military presses to get a tech shirt. I'll feel that in the morning, but I may start doing those. I have a bunch of ammo cans at home, but most have ammo in them. I may relocate the ammo and fill a can up with rocks. It could be a pretty good workout.

There's one in June I was thinking of doing. At least it's 6 mile loop in the woods.

I lost my rama
XT - Yikes, sorry to hear about the gout. Hope you get better soon!
LB2 - What the heck are "ammo can military presses"? I have one ammo can, and I can't think of what I could do with it for a lifting exercise without the handle being an annoyance.
warden - Sorry you and Mrs warden are still hit with the flu. Get well soon!
Sue - 6 mile loop? Sheeezzz..... it's gotta be like a mile or mile and a half loop to be fun. Especially with beer.
3/17 - NYC Half
4/28 - Big Sur Marathon DNS
6/29 - Forbidden Forest 30 Hour
8/29 - A Race for the Ages - will be given 47 hours
You have to hold it sideways with the handle facing away from you. It takes a lot of reps, and I have dumbbells, but it was a pretty good little change from the dumbbells.
You guys better watch out, you're a few tire flips and rope wavy things away from turning into CrossFit junkies.
tbd.
You could be right. Clearly, you went to the top of the mountain recently and came back with more wisdom and insight.

Congratulations Sandy on the Bear !
A little Fall color from yesterday , Molybdenite Canyon Eastern Sierra .
Congratulations, Sandy!
You all have impressive monthly totals. I just started using Strava so I can start keeping track.
Day off today...unless I feel better later. I am coming down with the latest version of the "Office Plague" and I have a nasty headache. I really should get out to run. None this weekend, but lots of paddle boarding.

Lol. Congrats again, Sandy!
LB, I done even know what an ammo can is. And I’m okay with that.
Re timed races, I like Bert-o’s approach. Otherwise not really my cup of tea.
Wardrn, moonlight — sorry the crud has struck. Hopefully you’re getting it out of the way early.
QOTD: 168 miles. I didn’t think this was a great month so I’m happy I got that many.

See you Sunday, Jess and I just signed up for Blues Cruise (who the hell signs up for a 50K with 5 days notice?). Now I'll have to find all of my swag from previous years. . Weather looks like 80° with high humidity. Great. Bert? you need a Fall race, this is a fun one with great AS's.

The Scranton forecast has gone up 20 degrees since I first started stalking the weather for this Sunday's Steamtown marathon. Still doesn't look too bad: upper 70s by mid day, 60s early morning. Didn't notice until yesterday that the race starts at 8, which seems kinda late for a marathon, but they have to bus the runners 45 min to the start.
Blues Cruise is on my list for some day.
QOTD: 157 with some tapering.
valerie - Beautiful pic (as always). They never seem real.
moonlight - Who do I search for if I want to stalk you on Strava? I'm pretty easy.... Bert Lineker.
Gatsby - Nicely done for the month!
GC - I suppose that's not great, but not terrible on Sunday's weather forecast. Things can still change... fingers crossed!
