Is that a euphamism? #KellenWinslowI'll run to the Boston Market down the street. Does that qualify me?So who's all running Boston this year? Besides me, I mean.
We should definitely try to get together at some point over the weekend!

. It made me think of running etiquette and I have a few questions. I always run against traffic and some of my routes have lots of side streets or parking lots that cars pull out of. Drivers don't always look right when turning right and I fully expect to do a hood/windshield roll at some point. If I make eye contact with driver I will run in front of them, if I can't make eye contact I loop behind their car. What is the proper thing to do in this situation?
I am doing my best to piss off Scoresman. He's one of the general ##### around here, so fully deserving.The bicycle guy thread is pretty funny, you cyclists sure piss off a lot of people
Also, I disregard most crosswalk signs if the coast is clear at intersections with traffic lights, unless of course johnny law is around. Is this kosher?
I really hope to po po let safe jay walking slide, I have done it a few times in front of them and have had that moment of doubt in my mind, but I really hope they have better things to do.I don't handle drivers appropriately, so I doubt I am the best source. There is usually yelling, swearing, staring, and the occasional window punch. I mean if it is a case of the driver paying attention but we both kinda sneak up on each other, ok, but if you're doing a rolling stop trying to beat oncoming traffic not looking the other way while on your phone I will try my hardest to put a scare into you.The bicycle guy thread is pretty funny, you cyclists sure piss off a lot of people

I have noticed I have gotten a lot more chill since I started running more miles. Long, slow run,see a car doing something that doesn't work for me, slow down, wait my turn, then proceed. Angry MAC still returns on the shorter runs though.
Dude, you can run a 5K in almost 18 flat. If you pace yourself correctly, 32:30 should feel like sandbagging.
Nothing wrong with mashing if that's what comfortable and gives you the best watt to hr output w/o blowing up your legs. I've been around and around with my coach about this. Totally blew off the cadence thing during tempo to lactate class this year and had my best results ever.
I'll train for it this month and make a decision at the end of month. Probably will find the hardest 20 miles of trail I can find at the end of the month and see if I can hold a 15 min pace.Did you decide whether you're going to toe the line at MMT100 next month?I didn't qualify.So who's all running Boston this year?

in theory, executing has been a struggle but I can point my finger at winter weather for that right now. At the five mile race last month I started off too fast then developed stomach issues during the race. Double whammy.RRunning smarter and making sure the pipes are clear this time.
You're only trying to run a 6:30 pace, so the main thing you need to concentrate on is not running a 5:XX to start the race. Hell, you could probably run a 7:00 to start and with your speed you'd have plenty time to negative split and reach your goal.
Personally I think your goal is a bit conservative for you but if that's your goal there's noway you should start that fast again. BUT at the least, you should shoot for even splits and start at your goal pace and just play the last couple miles by ear. Speed it if you got more in the tank.
Never done a window punch but I've slapped probably 100 cars over the years. I'm trying to stop that though. It's like road rage -- there is never really an upside.
that's my gameplan, start 6:30 maintain then push it if I still feel good after the turnaround. Out and back course.
all of this, despite knowing about the no upside decisions you mentioned. I can tell myself one thing, but once I'm a couple miles in I transform into something else.
Maybe... just reading too much about how bad lower cadences can be for your legs over long distances. 80-90 seems most comfortable, but don't want to wear out too much before the run in a half or full.
I don't know where I fit on that scale, but for most of my runs I carry a key in my hand in the event some ahole drivers stop 1-2 ft in front of the stop sign instead of right behind the line like they are supposed to and cut me off in the process. Most of the time I just hit settle for pounding on the side of their car like Juxt but one of these days when I am in a really bad mood someone is going to get keyed.
Running by a large shopping center at 6:00 p.m. is probably asking for trouble.
I live in a burb with a lot of busy roads.
Mrs MAC has a half too. They have beer at the post race party, so I asked her to take her time.
If a car pulled out in front of me during most of my runs, they'd hit a tree. or five.
Your avatar freaks me out.
Good luck!
I almost ran into a turkey crossing the trail today. He failed to cross the trail in a marked crosswalk, so he almost became lunch. Luckily for him like everything else I come across he was much faster than me.
Good luck all!
Kick it back! Anybody with a fruity name like Gran Fondo deserves a good ### whoopin'
