sorry about the disappointment. There are events all over the country. Just find one. I understand the M-dot thing but I say just do the distance, THEN care about the status of the event. The whole point is to challenge yourself past your own percieved limits and live on the edge. Do it for that reason alone.
CHEAP!!! OMG! HA! I am not cheap-- take that bak right now!!!
I AM FREE!
ahghahhhahha
maybe she's sick but she's stll sassy enough.
Sparrow-- wow,,, I needed to hear that. sheesh. It's even embarrassing a bit that you needed to say that to ME. tunnel vision.
Hey Flyin, keep trying the I'm! You'll get in! Great work recently.
Several of the guys and ladies that I ran with today have Nonember 18 circled on their calendars. I think we are gonna see some topflight cyclists there and it will be enlightening to see how we stack up individually!

man it's nice to run in the colder weather.
long stretch period, then off I went.
ran my one mile out, and back for warm up... good sweat going thru sweatshirt in back of truck,
and off we go 3.5 miles to the middle school
timed 2, 1 mile, pace setters on the track (BORING!!!), 1 mi at 9:12, and 1 mi @ 8:47. Can't quite seem to nail that 9 min mile.
3.5 miles back to park
3 loops on nature trail = 1 mile
11.5 miles 1:55:02 = nice run, no pain anywhere. Getting lighter and stronger.
nutrition--- need to remember to drink more even when it is cool, lost over 4 lbs in from weigh out to weigh in. Had one power gel, and 36 oz of gatoraide.

Absolutley incredible!!!! th athletes, the fans, the city, the way the environment reaches up inside of you and grips you by the spine! I would love to qualify for that race some day.

the course was lined with fans completely. I had to park over 10 miles away and rode my bike in. It was soooo cool. You should hear the huffin and puffin these athletes are doing. They sound more like horses than people.
the transition area

wow, I bet that 1500 was pretty boring. I hate long continuous swims in the pool like that.
took 1/2 day, feelin sick.
rode Mountain bike to gym
Swim: lots of sprints and I discovered something... I can swim myself into a very high heart rate, want to panic and stop, yet keep going at a slower pace and make it thru. I sucked in some water a couple of times, and yes it felt like I could of got in trouble in open water, but it was cool to push my limits back further into the extremem zone.
Stopped and set a new max on Dead lift of 315. here is the pic. not suree what i am supposed to do with the info, because the thread is locked, but i do have a light bulb.
Off to my 15 year olds Symphony Orchestra concert and then I will run tonight- maybe.
