My bad. Howdy, how ya doin boys? Hope you're all doin well.I just KNOW you have a better greeting than THAT in you? Come on Hang10.

Will you ride in a bike race wearing a bow tie?My bad. Howdy, how ya doin boys? Hope you're all doin well.
But for real...
I guess I might as well give you guys and update while I'm here. My foot is still not great but after about 2 1/2 years I've found a PT that seems like he's got me on the right track. I'm hopeful that I can actually make a full recovery but it's going to take some time...which is alright because the time is gonna pass either way so might as well get better at the same time.
On the fitness front, all the cycling races have been canceled this year so lately I've just focused on junk miles, KOMs and occasionally trying to smash my homies during group rides. Praying that there will be a season next year because I'm definitely much more comfortable on the bike and think I have good chance of being successful in the local racing scene.
Yes but I'll have to wear it backwards so it doesn't effect my aerodynamics.Will you ride in a bike race wearing a bow tie?
Glad you checked in and it's crazy to hear that you aren't at 100% given your output on the bike. You are a constant source of inspiration (and personal disappointment ) when I check my Strava feed. After a long weekend ride, I look at my feed and see that you usually had double the miles and probably double the speed. Then I remember that you also smoked me in running too, so I humbly go back to looking at my personal progress and all is good.My bad. Howdy, how ya doin boys? Hope you're all doin well.

Great advises.Hang 10 said:Appreciate it.
Don't sell yourself short. You're a tremendous slouch.
But in all seriousness a lot of my rides are with other cyclists. Drafting and such and that makes for easier faster miles.
When you're feeling up to it id suggest checking out the local bike shop ride. Its kinda intimidating at first but once you get the feel for riding in a pace line you'll wonder why you waited so long to do it.
Plus its just more fun to ride with some good dudes and dudettes.
He’s back!!!!Hang 10 said:Bummer that you're giving up the running shoes but cycling is awesome. I'm sure the more you go "full cyclist" the more you'll enjoy it. Get some lycra and get after it!
Don't sleep on Robert "Bobby" Tonyan at TE. 5 catches last week on 5 targets for 50 yards and a TD. Rodgers seems to really love the guy.
Well la-di-da grue is mr hot sheeeeit because he mentioned an obscure tight end playing for the packers which is pretty funny if you think about a tight end and packers and, well....you know.....anyway....he scores two touchdowns on monday night and now grue thinks he is the grue-rue for fantasy football in a thread about running with a bunch of guys who really don’t care about fantasy football anymore....And again...

I rostered him (based on your advice), but didn't start him (over Hurst).And again...
The real question is if he does anything when any o the first team MASH unit WRs come back.I rostered him (based on your advice), but didn't start him (over Hurst).
He'll be staying on my roster!
He’ll definitely lose targets when Davante comes back in week 6, but he’s still a solid TE1. Rodgers loves him, and to be honest, I’ve got a bit of a @ChiefD/Mahomes-esque man crush myself.The real question is if he does anything when any o the first team MASH unit WRs come back.
Look at me, I have Adams on my team.
Same for me! Ate too much yesterday, including a pint of Halo Top, and this morning's run was the best 21km I've done in a long time.Ate like absolute crap yesterday and didn't do any exercise besides an easy 20-minute recovery ride on the Peloton. Woke up this morning feeling fat and sluggish and was THIS close to skipping my morning run and going back to bed. Looked at my weather app and saw that it's supposed to be quite a bit warmer this afternoon, so I sucked it up and headed out the door. First couple of miles were kinda zombie-like, but then everything just came together. The end result was a hilly 10-mile progression run with almost 500 feet of elevation gain. First mile 8:26, last mile 6:39. The further I went, the stronger I felt.
Had a similar run last week a couple of hours after eating an entire package of cookies. Kinda makes me wonder....do I not eat enough normally? Am I underfueled? Hmmm....
Back when @Hang 10 was running all the time (and quite fast I might add), he ran a race and he ended up wearing a bow tie, with shorts and singlet. I don't recall why but it was in his Strava feed or his profile pic for a while.Juxtatarot said:Bow tie?
I ate like crap yesterday and didn't plan to run this morning.Yeah. I ate like crap yesterday and didn't wake up to run as planned this morning. Yay me.
It was a Halloween 10K and I was going with a minimalist costume. The costume also had cuffs btw.Back when @Hang 10 was running all the time (and quite fast I might add), he ran a race and he ended up wearing a bow tie, with shorts and singlet.

Always made me laugh.
What had been your intended race strategy? Run aerobically throughout? Run comfortably, but walk/break at the aid stations? Run/walk combo?Fall 50 officially canceled today
Run the whole damn thing at something under 8:24 average paceWhat had been your intended race strategy? Run aerobically throughout? Run comfortably, but walk/break at the aid stations? Run/walk combo?
Try to stretch your hamstrings. Lay down and have someone help with your straight leg stretch.Injuried :sigh: really messed up my back last week doing my "Chance for Hope" 5k. So ridiculous as I felt great, not pushing it hard...at all. Finished up the run and did some strength training and stretching when my lower back started getting tighter & tighter. Fast forward to Thursday AM and I can hardly sit down to take my morning glory WTF?! Went to the Chiro on Friday along with a massage with no relief, in fact, it felt worse. Decided to go to Urgent Care on Monday AM as the weekend continued to suck. MD said muscle spasms and gave me a shot of Toradol and anti inflammatory & prescribed Beclofan. Still no relief today. Looking at going to the sports clinic if it doesn't get better by Friday. Reading this thread makes me really impressed with some of you BAMF'rs in here. Don't take your abilities for granted, we are blessed to be able to do the things we want to do. Be Well, Ya'll!
Except I see he set the watch an hour early just to mess with me. Screw that guy.in spite of what you ALL say about him, @gruecd is a truly fine and awesome dude. just got the garmin watch... ..... THANKS, Grue!
I"m scheduling a day in April or May when I might get around to reading how to use the thing.
No, I think that's just the time difference between his and your average runs.Except I see he set the watch an hour early just to mess with me. Screw that guy.
If only you had a watch....So you know how when you go on a pre dawn trail run and you have to avoid the roots and rocks or you end up tripping and falling... That happened to me this morning.
...on a wide, open, nicely paved pedestrian only promenade with no roots or rocks. But that metal picnic table came out of nowhere. Well, also because I had my face down fussing with strava in my phone because I had set battery saver to on and strava doesn't like that. Down went Frasier in a metallic gong explosion. Thigh tok the brunt, and tailbone when I got spun onto my ###. Freaked the hell out of a woman walking the other way. At least I didn't hit her
A flat, presumably fast ultra is certainly appealing, but unfortunately my options for actually getting there (non-direct flight or a 9-hour drive) are not. Plus I really want my pregnant wife to keep taking this COVID thing seriously, and she's already getting a little too gung-ho about hanging out with friends, even outdoors, IMO. Me going on a 3- or 4-day non-essential trip certainly wouldn't help that cause.ChiefD said:See you in a few weeks.
Anything has to be better than what my Garmin watch tells me. 2:53 marathon, my butt.
Just get to mile 46....its all down hill from there!Link to the FKT route. Only 685 feet of gain over 53+ miles. And that hill towards the end is MUCH more gradual than it looks on the elevation chart.
It actually is. I run that part of it a lot. That's actually where I ran my 5K for our race series.Just get to mile 46....its all down hill from there!
Cool, but I wish they gave you enough information to actually try it for yourself. I can get a pretty good estimate of my VO[SIZE=10.5px]2[/SIZE]Max and what they're calling E1, but then they put a formula in with a bunch of unexplained parameters - what the heck is gamma1?
We could just simplify it for us simpletons: Tempo Runs Increase Marathon Performance.I hadn't read about TRIMP before. I spent a few minutes looking for a TRIMP calculator but didn't find anything useful.
