Hoping to get a good jump on some fall races. Running solo in this one. My dogs would be an absolute disaster here. Will enjoy spending time with other dogs before and after the race though.
I looked at that workout last night. Impressive even though you may not seem to think so. I think I struggle with hills more than others because of my size (6'2, 200) so, if that's the case, since you're in the same boat, it makes it that much more impressive to me.
Thanks man. Didn't realize that you and I are basically the same size (6'4"/200 for me). Definitely requires more energy for us to get up hills....it's physics!
Yep. Which is also why I think I love downhills so much more. I showed my wife a route with a nice downhill and at the end she wasn't that impressed and said it didn't help her at all. I'm like "what? It was glorious and effortless". When I'm trudging up the hill and I start to think of @Juxtatarot and his 134 lb frame when wet, the anger starts to build inside, which at least helps me get up a bit faster, so.....
Here you go
Thanks.
You're a sexy beast and all but I'd look sickly at 138. I'm only 40 lbs more but yikes
That’s the hardest part of the workout, IMO. It’s so hard to settle back into the easier pace.
That's what he told me to do for this specific workout, but it's different for every one. Looking ahead to my 20-miler on 9/8, I do miles 1-5 at 8+, miles 6-10 in the 7:40s, miles 11-15 in the 7:20s, and miles 16-20 in the low 7:00s.
My grandson has a habit of pointing with his middle finger when using his right hand. We were having dinner with the family a couple months ago, and he innocently put his hand down in his lap and pulled it back up - middle finger pointing - as he looked directly at grandma. Classic.
Watch out for the gators!
@Juxtatarot ...let's do this with Brony. The 9/15 race near my house has just 200 runners. Top times were 18:41 (female) and 19:21 (male). The CARA race on 9/8 will both of us some good competition. It'll also give us a chance to see if the rest of the Bronys are as ruggedly handsome as our guy.Brony said:
Somewhere during the early part of your ride did you say, "hey, that mushroom over there in the forest looks good enough to eat"?
That beats my run today. Only interesting thing I saw was a guy on one of these.
Completely forgot. On my loop around the park, I ran by a woman that was running and juggling 3 balls as she ran. And she was running at a decent clip (easily 9 min pace, if I had to guess). At the end of my loop around the park I passed her again. So she was running at least 5-6 miles while juggling and she looked completely fresh while doing so.
There's gotta be a joke in there somewhere.
- I realize this is anthills for some of you). That being said loved being around the dogs (although going around some into some thickets was not fun - going to get some new socks - not worth trying to get the stickers out of the current ones). All in all a blast though. I'll probably do a road race in late September which is more my style. Sorry you missed 3rd in your age group by so little Oz. Great accomplishment though.
I can’t imagine how many times I’d fall trail running with dogs around.Well I have to admit the race today was a mixed bag. I ran a whole lot slower than I planned. However, I had a great time and I'll do it again next year. This was my first time doing a trail run and running thru loose sand and dirt is a whole lot harder than running on pavement. It was also a lot hillier than I have ever run before (for me

un: in the books. I may set a record here. Something tells me I’m just getting started.
