Fuel Belts - What do you use? I just bought an Amphipod RunLite 4, I hope it comes before my planned 9 mile trail run on Wed
I just got back from three laps of a 2 mile loop at Red Rock. 87 degrees when I started and 95 when I finished. I may have to go earlier on Monday morning.
Nice. I'm doing them both. What're your goals? I'm hoping for 1:30 in the half (I did 1:33:34 last year) and 3:10 in the full for Boston.Quote:

I did my first marathon last year in San Fran - 3:50. Hoping to finish this one ~1:35 to see if I can run a Boston qualifier in the fall.Quote:

I ran 9 NYRR races last year. That automatically qualifies you for it.Quote:

The Complete Book of Running (By Runner's World) could be a good place to start. Actually, www.runnersworld.com might have some online stuff available as well.Quote:

Next on the race calender is the Wasatch SpeedGoat 50k on July 21st. Anyone else up for this race?
How'd everyone's Bolder Boulder turn out? Met my goal of sub-45:00 with a time of 43:30 +/- a few seconds. Next year, 40:00.

I started running my local ski area last fall it took me two months to make it the top, then it stared to snow. This season I have ran (jogged) it five times and was able to make for the first time this season on Monday (5/28/07). I'm pumped now if I could get rid of this ITB issue I could start to train for the Jay Challenge.
You guys make it tough not to be intimidated. But I'm managing. Mostly cuz I run alone and when I'm out there, only the trail keeps me company...
well except for today... couldn't help but notice some REALLY FRESH moose tracks... kinda started paying attention... saw it was dragging one hoof, a little... and then started getting nervous... it veered off to the right into a path into the woods and I HEARD IT CRASHING THRU STUFF!! Holy smokes... nothing like a little adrenalin shot.
I made good time today. :)
I still hate running...
I've officially quit running. I can't run more than 3 miles without my IT bands seizing up and hurting for days later, so it's just not worth it....oh well, always liked cycling better anyways, but I did like running when there wasn't enough light in the winter....:(
I'm sad for you... but if it hurts, you oughtn't to be doin' it...
I will run as long as my body holds out. And then prob'ly a few months after that. :) When you love it... you just love it.
Even when it's HARD... like tonight... the trail run was great but the third mile kicked my ass as I think I went out too hot on the first two. The last .7 was just keeping my head down and my feet moving. Came in a whole minute ahead of the last one which COMPLETELY VALIDATED MY EVENING!!! I am muddy, wet, smell bad, & feeling totally CORE about it, having had beers w/someone who actually flirted w/me in this disgusting state. No accounting for taste!!! (but good for a Cougar's ego)
SO GLAD I MADE MYSELF GO. (p.s. no wildlife to speak of...)
I'm with ya, homey...Quote:

oh yeah check this out if you haven't...

Very inspiring. It really makes you take a step back and think about hings, to be sure. Yeah, Dick Hoyt is quite the guy. I saw someone else do this at the 1987 Ironman as well - don't recall who it was though... It may have been him.
My back still hurts when I run though! :p
i used to feel exactly the same way, then my friend tought me how to really stretch, especially my hip flexors and then i went to an actual running store and got properly fitted. No I can run 6 or 7 miles pain free, if i stretch. If i don't stretch, i get painQuote:

Yay for you! I'm just hoping to find it in me to put in a few miles today, as it's hot and muggy. If it rains, I'm all over it! But my time will not be as fine as yours was today... Great job!
Other factor to consider -- I don't like to run! :DQuote:

Put in a respectable 4.2 miles... license to eat & drink for the remainder of the day. :)
Not good I have not been on a run over 8 miles in a month. But I did get a new pair of shoes.Quote:

on a related note, i find odd 90s era hip-hop / rap to be mildly inspiring when running.... Onyx SLAM popped onto my ipod at a tiring moment and it got me going. I think I'm going to look for some more old school (skool?) stuff like that as it has this weird ability to both get me moving faster and to give me a sh!t-eating grin as I'm running along.
speaking of running playlists, i used to have one before my ipod was stolen by some dicknosed TSA agent. but that aside, for runs of 45 minutes or less, mine was characterized by angry, loud songs kind of alternating between fast and moderate tempos..
BYOB/System of a Down
Ten Ton Hammer/Machine Head
Chop Suey/SoaD
Down With the Sickness/Disturbed
Killing in the Name/Rage
For whom the Bell Tolls/Metallica
Caught in a Mosh/Antrax
Mota/Offspring
M of Puppets/Metallica
what's on yours?
Add (along the same genre):
South Texas Deathride and Mr. Deadman - The Union Underground
Wait and Bleed - Slipknot
various songs by Trapt
Send the Pain Below - Chevelle
Mindtrip - Nonpoint
non-genre, I'll go with more chill music: Jack Johnson, Dispatch, OAR..
Not a good training week for the trail run tonight... :nonono2: I doubt I'll continue the trend of taking time OFF... all about doing it though.
Maybe I should consider the angry music thing... God knows the boy-o has some.
Angry sex is fun every once in a while.Quote:
