He also kept the dumdum on the same side of his mouth. After a few minutes, that side of my mouth would go numb.Nothing had prepared me for this week or so of learning you run holding a phone.
Then you double down with wires and triple down with an effing dumdum. And still look like you can’t wait to destroy those kids at the start line.
I am in awe sir.
WITHOUT A GLOVE!
Did you take off the glove from the other hand and just transfer it over? I wouldn't be surprised if you did.
Now you'll really flip. I ran with the glove for about 16 minutes, it's just off to start-and-stop the run. And yes it's real awkward (and difficult) trying to put the glove on and take it off with the same hand.
In fairness, his race was over in just a few minutes.He also kept the dumdum on the same side of his mouth. After a few minutes, that side of my mouth would go numb.
I still can't get over racing with a ####### lollipop. If I was at a race and saw that, I'd hand you the medal and just go home.
Which of these people beat our hero?Staring down that woman waiting for her to say '30 seconds'
Yep, the only idiot here that is in a tank top
Holt #### my legs are red
Yes, I really am that Dumas that runs carrying his phone
But I'm just happy for once I don't look like dead man walking in race photos.
The dum dum is classic, not sure I've ever seen that, kudos

<Steel Curtain> "Do they come in a banana flavor?" </Steel Curtain>I'd be breathing so hard at 5K pace, it'd be guaranteed I'd inhale that dumdum at some point.
Get these gloves (one of my favorite purchases ever....love these)

I ran one gloved for most of my marathon I didn't do...Also, I love the single glove look, Michael Jackson.
And I prefer these for my head.I'm not a headband person but clearly some of you here are. Just saw this on Amazon and figured I'd share the link given the reviews and the price. 4 of these for $12
So wish you hadn't of posted these and had shown up at 5k race with Juxt.Staring down that woman waiting for her to say '30 seconds'

I've only worn them three times, but I'm in love. Firm grip while also somehow not even realizing they're there. I'm not sure if my technique can withstand anything lighter and I will try at some point, but if it doesn't work then these can become the staple.@MAC_32 what do you think of the On shoes? I have a pair of Cloudflyers and mostly liked them. Annoying that they would pick up gravel, but otherwise they felt quite light.
Third question - what's that now from 6:24-6:37?Uh...hey @MAC_32 ...great read and race (damn you are fast!)...but two super important questions:
- Flavor of the dum dum?
- Did you ever get your hoodie back?
I know I haven't been around here much lately, but now in addition to beet juice and an early morning run, we're supposed to "release some pressure" pre-race? Is that like Ted before going out on his date with Mary?MAC_32 said:Hot Cider Hustle 5K
6:23 hit keurig button, so coffee is cooled enough when I am done with...
6:24 eroticism
6:37 grab coffee, banana, and hard boiled egg then sit on the couch
So that covers why I didn't do #### from mid-June through mid-September. Noice!Yep, general rule - one day of recovery for every mile raced. I've seen enough evidence to believe the post marathon fitness boost is real, but it'd be in the form of a Thanksgiving or first week of December sort of race.
Green hat and red hat up front whooped me. Red bandana in the back to the right is who out kicked me.Which of these people beat our hero?

Found it. Here you go:I have all but given up hope on successfully recovering my run from the watch. Dejectedly just created a manual entry to add the miles to my total for the year. Still waiting to hear back from a friend hoping for a miracle but I think the data is gone.
I dropped my phone in the toilet this morning...so, pretty much the same thing.I have all but given up hope on successfully recovering my run from the watch.

Nailed it - get to work on all of that once recovered in a couple weeks and you'll be that much stronger once you re-enter your next actual training cycle, leading to the faster training and expedited recovery. You will want to reach through whatever device you're reading this from and smack me for saying this, but I think you have quite a bit better than 3:09 and are going to amend your goals midstream. You just did a 3:12 amidst a rocky training cycle when you weren't 100%. Get 100% and ride a smoother training cycle and watch the times just melt away...I'm still basking in the glow of my race and enjoying my recovery. Thought about running this morning but it was snowing so I just stayed in bed.
As I start to think about next steps, I'll be running a turkey trot in Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving. Whether I race it or just fun run it is TBD.
I've been asked to pace the Miami Marathon again in February, so I'll do that.
Boston is going to be a fun run. I have also been asked to pace someone there, but I'm not sure I want that responsibility, so that's TBD.
I'll likely pace Pocono Marathon in May as well.
Next fall will likely consist of trying to race Chicago with possibly Indy as my backup if the weather isn't cooperative in Chi-town.
My next marathon, I'll likely try to go for 3:09x. In order to do that, I need to be more consistent with my lifting, need to do more core work (planks, etc.), and run faster during training.
It was cool having all the support of you guys over the weekend and fun to see @gruecd again and meet @The Iguana. Thanks again to all of you.
Got the training calendar loaded for the spring half yesterday. Hoping to spend the next two weeks getting this core muscle figured out - then 4 weeks of base building before Hanson kicks me in the sack for 14 weeks.I need to fill mine in.
Currently 21 degrees here with 21 mph winds from the north. And snow. My mini-boner is now tucked in for winter.
That'd be more of a:I dropped my phone in the toilet this morning...so, pretty much the same thing.
That's pretty much how it went. I hesitated for half a second thinking if I actually wanted to stick my hand in to get it...but ultimately I did (forever unclean).That'd be more of a:
BM ....F$(*$(@!!!
For the record, I'd happily have my phone be buried in a mountain of #### and then dig it out by my bare hands if it meant I could recover my marathon info off my watch and upload it to strava.That's pretty much how it went.

From this experience, I am even more confused as how MAC can run races with a phone in his hand, I can't even unzip my pants without dropping the damn thing in the bowl
Just read about Sti Chimnoys annual 3,100m race (must finish in 52 days... 59.6m/day) in Queens, nyc. And it's run on an open 1/2 m block course, that they alternate the direction of every day. Can't believe I'd never heard of this.
Slackers.
There's a discussion on this some pages back with links to the event...Aka Sri Chimnoy self-transcendence 3100 mile race
bump. starts here.Which one of you BMF is gonna do this.... cuz I'm ain't it.

3100 miles in 52 days. ~60 miles/day to finish.
It was a few years ago when I started to run with heart rate in mind. I had recorded data all spring on Map My Run. This was back before I had my running watch. So I was using the chest strap in conjunction with Map My Run.For the record, I'd happily have my phone be buried in a mountain of #### and then dig it out by my bare hands if it meant I could recover my marathon info off my watch and upload it to strava.
7F here today. Sweet nostalgia to hear the ice crunch under your footsteps. As well documented, I have a small repertoire of loops I do. The list gets even smaller when sidewalks are icy or snowed over.Stupid cold front/storm came into town yesterday. Down to 10 degrees this morning (-5 wind chill) and it's early November. So dumb. But, when it started snowing yesterday and was still in the upper 20's, I looked outside and said "yep, good time to go run". So there's that. I got a massive 3 miles in, but at least I got out there.
Going to Tampa for the weekend to visit family and will try and get out a couple times. Weather looks to be good in the low 70's down to 50's.

@SFBayDuck - no answers until the race report is posted!@SFBayDuck if a hypothetical runner wanted a cold-weather 100K with a not-ridiculous amount of vert that would qualify him for the WS100 lottery, does such a thing even exist? Asking for a friend.
