[Ned]

I played in a gol tournament last Friday with a buch of guys from college, the dad of our buddy at BC who died in 9/11 has 20 of us down to his club in Westhapton every year to get together with his brothers and some of his friends from home. My favorite day of the year, but missed it last year so had not seen most of them since my "transformation". Well, I was the daylong butt of many AIDS jokes and "I can't believe I used to be afraid of you" quips. Good times.

I ran 7 very easy miles this morning, 8:54 average and I know my HR was in the 120s but the damn TomTom had me at 176 for the run, 196 for mile 3! So frustrating. Good news is I felt like I could have run that pace all day.

@ AIDS jokes.

Steal any cookie trays?

[AAABatteries]

Ran 5 miles a couple of days ago but that's all the running I've done in the last week. Swam a couple times and been lifting and doing the elliptical at the gym. Got a couple of nagging "injuries":

- Back is still hurting when I run. The impact of the run aggravates the back so I've tried to limit running. It's better but it doesn't seem to be going away - doc prescribed muscle relaxer for when it's bad and an anti-inflammatory to help get it back to normal

- Started lifting again after a few years of not doing anything with weights - I seem to have aggravated the xiphoid process (wtf is that?) from lifting. It's not bad at all but annoying and the fix is to stop lifting heavy objects (LOOK AT ME!). I'm self-diagnosing on this one but it seems to describe my symptoms exactly. Not sure is swimming will aggravate this also or not.

These are just nagging things right now - the good news is I'm down to 198.6 from 240 and still making progress. I knew I wouldn't be able to do any serious training until I lost more weight so it's not really a setback in my mind. I'm mostly concerned with continuing to lose and staying healthy. Going to swim later today and hoping to do a leg workout tonight.

I'm pretty AIDSy myself, 6' 1" 170 but was 165 for the marathon. I don't have any muscle so my body fat % is much higher than 5.5%. My grandmother is very concerned that I don’t eat enough.

I don't know my body fat %, but I'm sure it's higher than 5.5%. Yes, I probably could race well dropping a few more pounds....not that I feel a need to.

[spreagle]

6-1 195 and I was measured at 14.5% last month at the gym with some sort of electronic device that you grip and hold. They told me that was pretty good for a 48 year old and I couldn't get much below 12%. My boy had tried it earlier and registered an error ... no fat.

I didn't really have one in mind but I was thinking it was roughly halfway in between where Ned and Gruecd lived. I was able to find this one. I am definitely interested running a half with everyone.

I'd be down to race with everyone. I might still be licking my wounds on 10/18, but I'll give'r hell. It's a shame - we just missed out on Pittsburgh last month.

Speaking of which - you gonna do Philly in Nov? comfortably numb and I will be there for the half.

Not exactly sure what I am doing, but I am leaning towards signing up for the Philly Full. I am going to decide by the end of the month before the price goes up. Let me know if you are going to do any tuneup races before your Full in Sept.

God I love that race! I'm looking forward to that half more than Via full.

I'm big time on the fence about a tune-up half this go around since it'd most likely have to be in the August heat.

however, one of my favorite athletic events ever was in Columbus. Played water polo in college, one of our first tournaments was there. Great times, good games but better post-event "activities"

I'm a gps swinger, too. Use Garmin for reporting and Strava for the social aspect. Someone just told me I was on Team Garmin.

Maybe I'll just split the difference and commit to 75.

On these rides you can just decide how you're feeling when the turnoff for the 75 hits. If it's 70 and cloudy your decision may be very different than if its 95 without a cloud in the sky. That said seeing the odometer roll over to triple digits is epic and awesome. If you're feeling good go for it.

----

On my end I'm just trying to rack up the miles here for my July excursion. Yesterday did my normal Tuesday ride and felt like puking half way through - riding balls out after being sick three days ain't a great idea. Who knew?

So I went out today to do a nice tempo ride with a fast group. Turned out they wanted a climbing day. Oof. Wasn't expecting that. On top of things the suck index was at about 150 - pretty much swimming. Planned on just hanging in. Just goes to show that some days are good and come out of nowhere. So on this ride I managed to climb the biggest climb in Birmingham at a significant PR. The full climb, which I've only done a dozen times or so, was a 25 second PR. Also somehow set a PR by 10 seconds on the shortened version of the climb which I've done 40 times or so - doing that after doing the initial part of the climb was something I sure didn't expect.

Oh, and set new power PRs from 5 through 10 minutes. 5 minutes now at 342w and 10 minutes at 317w. With these numbers if I actually lost 20lbs I could crack the top 10 on the long one. Too damn fat.

An unexpected good day - I'll take it!

BSG goal?

Make it up Snake with rubber side down. Same as last year.

Seems like you power is up this year. How's your endurance relative to last year? Sub 6 in the equation?

I'd need 25 minutes somewhere. I'd regard that as pretty unlikely, even with a good day. I'd have to nail George's Gap and take a good bit more out of Snake. And barely stop. So unlikely - I'd have to be really on and need perfect weather.

We'll see how you feel the night before. If the weather looks promising I would be glad to SAG and hand off bottles. It's that or ride 100 miles 30 pounds overweight on 0 training miles.

In the mean time, don't drink and ride.

So I run with a Garmin and then record my workouts in a logbook. Dare I ask what team I belong to?
