[quote]Finally made it out to Black Creek this weekend. I hate out and back courses, but this was nice. Missed the early AM rain only to get the later AM rain. The gravel track certainly makes the Xero huaraches easier to run in. I like trying to run in them once a month or so. Did my favorite w...
[quote]who downvotes this?[/quote] of all places, we have a serial downvoter in this thread, it's weird :lol: Thinking about doing my first run in awhile, hopefully things have progressed in my healing. Not running is driving me nuts, but I do like the extra time I have had....
[quote]Just got word that Hoover expects it to stay here a minimum of 5 years. They’re pouring 30 million into the Met[/quote] I mean, I would assume they will hold off on spending $30 million until the ink is dry on the new contract. Imagine spending $30 million and the reason you did it pull...

So a quick update: On top of the mental stuff I knew something might have been keeping me down and I couldn't figure out what, my inner-upper thigh was hurting since before the marathon and just below my waist would hurt a good bit in the first mile ever since the race. Fast forward to Thurs...

[quote]I signed up because it was cheap.[/quote] Famous last words:lol: The last marathon I signed up for because it was cheap ended up with me vomiting and seeing a dude die... Good times, good times...
[quote]Anybody here have any thoughts on the Marine Corps Marathon? Did you like it? Considering doing it, just trying to justify paying over $200 for a marathon.[/quote] I have heard it's one of the best, great support, great course, and the best way to see DC...
I think I'm finally coming out of my funk! I don't think about the dude getting chest compressions every 1-2 hours!! I'm glad everything is temporary......

[quote]I was told I would be about 6-12 months for recovery[/quote] [quote]therapy went great and I was fully released about 3 weeks ago[/quote] Released =/= recovered You will probably not be back to your old self until at least 12 months. A torn tricep is an awful injury. Keep at it thoug...
I have not run in 10 days... I actually brought my running clothes to work today and when the time came for me that I would need to leave... I got lunch and sat at my desk. Physically I'm probably 99%, mentally at best I'm 60%. Seeing a dude die in front of you is a massive mental experience. Ho...
[quote]Aubie Spr96[/quote] Been in your neck of the woods 2 days in a row. MBHS Girl's Soccer game last night and Troup's Pizza and REI tonight :cheers:...
[quote]why target on keeping heart rate under 140 for entire race?[/quote] I've just heard a lot from friends that have done 100 milers to keep your HR as far away from your Lactic Threshold as you can (140 would be a true zone 2 in that regards) [quote]Tunnel Hill is notoriously fast course b...
[quote]Pedro[/quote] I'm running Grandmas next year :cheers: Watching their course flyover was SOOO amazing, that looks like one of the most ideal Marathons EVER, I'm going to keep my eyes pealed after June for when registration opens up, cause that is 100% the Marathon I want to run next yea...
[quote]This reinforces my 'no marathon' stance. I feel like anything over a half marathon is diminishing returns.[/quote] I get this, my strongest distance so far has been the 5k and the half marathon. The Marathon is just kinda it's own beast, by training for a Marathon my Half Marathon actually...
[quote]Once you've thought about it can you maybe share some ideas on where your training may have been off or what race mishaps may have happened to that lead to a time slower than your goal / time you thought you were prepared for.[/quote] I'm not Pedro and I fell apart way worst than him and d...
[link=(https://www.newschannel5.com/news/rock-n-roll-marathon-runner-dies-after-receiving-urgent-medical-care)]We don't know the name of the racer yet, but we know it was a 25-year-old man. Officials say the runner was 3:49 into the race when it happened in the Shelby Park portion of the race.[/link...
[quote]I’m pissed. I trained way too fricking hard to run that horribly Mil 16 on was straight hell. At mile 23 one of the aid stations said they could physically see my calves locking up[/quote] Dude, so like wtf is up with that hill at mile 20/21?!?! It literally looks like the race took yo...
[quote]What heck. That’s insane. I don’t mind some degree of difficulty to a marathon but it has to make sense. That seems like making it hellish just because[/quote] This race is all about the Half, yes it's hilly but the downhills are great confidence boosters as well. Unfortunately they don't ...
[quote]Good stuff nurse! And good stuff ba! Hope yall are enjoying a well earned celebratory meal/drink.[/quote] I threw up at mile 11 and it completely shot my plan... We were at 750ft elevation gain by mile 10 and it was 75 degrees, it was dumb but I finished. 4:13 and I had a group of 3...
