I was shocked when somebody in my league dropped Irving a few weeks back. I gleefully picked him up and stashed him on IR thinking I had solved my RB depth issues. Now I'm half thinking he's just going to rot on my IR the rest of the season.

Yeah, I'm sympathetic to the idea that the slo-mo replays aren't always fair to the refs on the marginal ones. The left guard on that play was obvious in real time to me. Aikman mentioned it as well. Plays like that make me entertain the idea that we may be having reviewable pass interference...

What bizarre decision making at the end there, first by the Eagles to not pin GB deep with almost no time left, then poor McManus being trotted out there. What the Heck was the convo before that drive. “How far you got in that injured leg?” “Dunno coach, 50? Maybe 55?” “How about a career...

Pulisic came on for the last 20 in Milan’s draw with Parma. On one hand, he missed a big chance not long after he came on. On the other hand, the attack looked miles better with him than without. Could have had an assist, and got what looked like a Modric ball intended for him right in front...

So I showed up at this and it was a pretty cool experience. The wife also trailed along which was much appreciated. About 20 people showed up, most of whom looked intimidatingly fit. The wife commented how everyone's legs were more muscular than mine. I wanted to do at least 10 laps (16 miles)...

You know, the 2021 Half I ran with pbm I gunned for 1:32 and I blew up pretty good and was pretty pissed about it, but Paul afterwards gave me props for laying it out there on an ambitious goal. I always thought that was great perspective.

@xulf hangs on for 3:15:59! Great race! :towelwave:

Xulf crushed the first lap at 1:34:34. If timing mats can be trusted he’s given back a bit of time the last 2 or 3 miles. Less than 4 to go.

@xulf how are you feeling for your delayed marathon attempt? Looks likely you should have virtually zero wind in sharp contrast to your originally scheduled day.

Consider me a sort of last minute addition to the racers this weekend. Last night I signed up for a local “rundown” event this afternoon. There’s a 1.6 mile cyclocross course in a grass field. You have 20 minutes to run a lap. Then 19:40 to run the next lap, 19:20 after that, etc. until...

I have a paper copy of Les Miserables on my shelf somewhere. I think my daughter bought it for me because I liked the musical so much. I got a few dozen pages in but opted for something a little more approachable and then forgot about it. Maybe I need to pick it up again.

I was following along a bit because I had an old friend who was running it. He DNFed somewhere around the middle. He had done Boston a couple times already, so he maybe felt less compelled to continue than you, but it's certainly one of the most explainable DNFs one could have outside of an...

I feel like this implies an aggressively forward pelvic posture.

I walk outside over my lunch break and will sometimes have my hands in my pockets for a bit if it is chilly outside, but that's my only exception to the conventional arms swinging style. Agree with the fast walkers. I'd estimate >90% of the populace walks way too slow.
