Ran a 10k - Official Thread (3 Viewers)

Thanks but I am still weak by most standards and don’t have nearly the muscle mass you have. I have to admit I am enjoying the new challenge of push-ups and pull-ups.

Most of it is in my head.

 
Friend of mine (not Dot) ran 2:36 today in Carmel to win the women’s race, setting a new PR and CR in the process.

It’s only like her 6th marathon, and she doesn’t even have a real “pro” coach. I think she can go sub-2:30...

I got up early, ate avocado toast with coffee then pooped while checking Facebook. 

Drove an hour, walked to the packet pickup, walked back to the car, walked to the portajohns, it was freezing, peed for about 5 minutes. Went to the starting line as the last socially distanced runner, 15 minutes before the elites started. 

Listened to Pandora, my thumbprint station. The music was pretty good. 

After crossing the finish line I fist bumped my neighbor whom I didn't know was running today. Got a coke, a hoe cake, and brunswick stew. Talked to a few people, then walked to my car. It was warmer now. 

Drove home, stopped at a gas station to get coffee and lottery tickets. I see tennessee doesn't do masks now. Got home, took a shower after eating leftover pizza.

Hoes gotta eat too? [/Hollywood Shuffle]

 
102.4km (63.6mi) this week.  New weekly high for me.  Had to get to the decimal point to make the claim, though.  :)

No elevation, so honestly I have probably had harder weeks than this before.  But it's a personal best for flat mileage.  Small victories in flat DFW.

I just saw on strava that a friend of mine ran it in 2:47 and thought that was smoking fast.

Well, a friend of mine did it in 2:29.

 
I hate race week.  Especially this race week.  I feel ridiculously unprepared and out of shape, which has me fearful of a colossal crash and burn.  Not the mindset you want leading up to an event.

You have a lot of experience pacing and running non-A race “fun” marathons. I’m sure if you run by feel you’ll manage just fine.

Yeah, but in my mind at least, this one is more important than your garden variety pacing gig.  I'd like to do something that tells me I'm at least in the ballpark of being able to run a PR race this fall.

You're not capable of a colossal crash and burn. Not the @gruecd we know. Take that #### to some other message board.

This.  Man, I was reading that thinking “ok, if this is how you feel imagine being APK for any race.”  I mean, if you watched The Last Dance, did MJ ever seem like he was worried about taking the final shot?  Meanwhile Bill Cartwright was like “oh hell yeah, send it down into the post!”  Anyway, I’m sleep deprived and rambling.  Look forward to reading a kick ### report from @gruecd

Yeah, that makes sense. I was also thinking of Carmel ‘19 when you dialed it back a little and ended up doing fine. If you crash and burn it would be because you ignored the early warning signs.

Yep. Pretty sure this animal set a 10K PR during the final 6.2 during that marathon.

Given your training you may not achieve this goal, but you also won't crash & burn. As long as your lab rat weather conditions are activated you have a unique ability to grind long distances despite it not being your day. Just need to be aware of and listen to the early warning signs, like juxt said.

Can't speak to the prep, you're usually on top of that more than almost anyone.

But you're definitely not out of shape.

 
And for the record, it was a little sticky on my run this evening but I do think it's a good thing running in a bit of ick. Pays off big time when it gets nice again. 

 
Ok. Money on the three guys in singlets, and dude in the the orange hat.

Arms crossed dgaf woman in the back a sneaky bet though.

 
Day 1: 95 Bare in the basin, gaelic storm

Day 2: 111 Safari song, Greta fleet

Day 3, 125 winners and losers, social distortion

Day 4: 111 Still counting, volbeat

Day 5: 100 Face down, red jumpsuit apparatus

Day 6: 102 Blinding lights, the weeknd

By looking at this photo only,  rank in order the top four runners. Let’s see if anyone gets it right.

I am guessing that there is a surprise since you're posting the photo, but based on how they are dressed the man in yellow is finishing last. Nebraska is a wild card, he likely traveled farthest for the race and is clearly a little crazy not wearing gloves (could be an elite athlete and win the race by a minute), but he doesn't have the typical runner's legs so I pick him to finish 3rd. You are the only one appropriately dressed for the race, I have you in 2nd. 5128 is my winner.

Very close.  Good job.
