Just talked about this one with the wife after just looking it up. She said for her to do a marathon it needs to be cold (~40) and flat. This one fits the bill. I can't imagine weather being a factor for this. @MAC_32

We won't do it this year, but it's definitely in play for next year.

I haven't the slightest clue what year, but it's firmly on my radar. I wish there were another full within a few hours of me sometime in November. C'est la vie 

 
I did a 7 day stage race couple years back and Normatec loaned me their compress squeezy leg bags, couldn’t swing the purchase at the time. I’m thinking about picking up sone knock offs. 

Anyone using them?

It’s been awhile, but I’ve used a knock off pair a few times. My PT tried to get me to buy a set as he was trying to put together a group purchase from the manufacturer, but they were still something like $700-$800. 

One of the top finishers at the Tahoe 200 last year used them several times during the race - he’d eat, crawl into his rooftop tent, and put them on while he slept for a bit.

They're all for you.  It was always you......

I'm experiencing some serious FOMO not being up at Canyons 100K today after three straight years, but they're dealing with a warm one for sure as it'll be pushing 80 as they descend Cal Street this afternoon.

ETA:  Meanwhile they’re running a modified course this year since there are parts of the normal course where they couldn’t get to the aid stations as some roads in the area are still covered in feet of snow. Life in the Spring in the Sierra Foothills.

Track. Other is sometime this summer in between baseball games. Then cross country starts at the end of July.

I've heard other track parents complain about how bad it is to watch (I sat there for 3 hours for 40 seconds of participation!).  Is it bad for you? I would have thought you can look at the schedule and reasonably guess when your kid is participating. 

 
Do I Sand the hell out of the mile and a half and just hold on for dear life or go out at something like 7:00 pace for the mile and then push harder for the last half mile?

I asst coach, so the time flies and I dont have the responsibilities of the head coach. I couldnt imagine sitting in the bleachers the whole time like some do. But it is a time commitment and an energy zapper. SoS and long runs on track weekends are difficult to come by.

Sand the first one. You dont know your top end limits, so push them and find out. And dont even look at your watch. Just pick your next target and hunt it down until the final target (finish line) appears. Then channel your inner pbm, but waiting until being done to yack.

I like to yack on the targets as I pass them. Really breaks their spirit. 

 
OK guys!  I'm now six months out from the Marine Corp Marathon.  I'll be running on behalf of the Elk Institute, which provides support services - at no cost - for veterans dealing with psychological trauma such as PTSD.  This is the first fundraiser I've done, and I'm honored to support such a worthy cause.  If you'd like to help out, here's the link: https://runsignup.com/rwalstra .  Feel free to share with others as well.  TIA!  I'm really looking forward to the race weekend and what I'm sure will be a moving experience.

 
Just watched Kipchogee win the London marathon.  The guy is an absolute machine.  Best marathoner ever.

He was won every marathon he has run except for one.....including winning his last 10 marathons.  😳.  Does he not have a bad race day?

 
Poor sleep: check

Bathroom business x3: check

Neurostim: check

Beet juice x2: check

Perfect weather: check

BMF performance: TBD.....

You’re going to love this race experience. I am going to see if I can make the MCM 10k work in with my fall race plans or otherwise I’ll be a spectator this year. 

 
for future reference, please post all times in eastern time. I was wondering why it wasn't showing up earlier, then I remembered you were on "slow time" as my grandparents used to call it!
