ntrprnr 0 #1 August 26, 2006 Come cheer me on as I run this. Chances are, it starts before most of you have gone to bed anyway, so come out and cheer, then go have breakfast, then go home to bed. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

kbordson 8 #2 August 26, 2006 Cool!! I would definately do that (either cheer you on or try to run too) if I were there! (It's been a goal of mine to someday run a marathon - or even a half marathon) Good Luck!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SBS 0 #6 August 26, 2006 Where and what time? It just so happens that I don't have anything to do in the morning, and need a reason to get out of bed. :-)_____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #7 August 26, 2006 What a coincidence, I'm not doing anything in NYC tomorrow morning. I'm not doing anything in NYC at all for the foreseeable future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACMESkydiver 0 #8 August 26, 2006 I'm definitely not doing anything in NYC tomorrow. Come to think of it, I'm not doing a whole bunch over here on the west coast where I'm at, either!

ntrprnr 0 #12 August 27, 2006 Wow. I guess training really does pay off... Who knew? 1:52:23. Over 2:30 better than any previous half. And it rained. Sore. Achy. But happy. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilcat 0 #13 August 27, 2006 Good for you!!! What are you doing this afternoon? A hot soak? Sleep? Play with your infamous Crackberry? Are you wired? The rain wasn't too bad. You had good weather-isn't it better to run in this than intense heat we've had the last few weeks? Congrats~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I've got to up my speed work - Got a bit over 2 months to marathon day. Got to increase my speed, and do a lot of hill training. I'm thinking twice a week of sprints at the 59th St. Bridge - 4 or 5 times per workout - should help. If I can do 1:52, I can do 1:48 at the Staten Island half in October. That would give me a really good cushion for a sub-4 marathon. Once that happens, I never have to run again. Not even for a f'ing bus. :D Funny thing is, I spent miles .25 to 4.0 cramping up something fierce, then spent the rest of the race with blisters. Why I do this shit is beyond me. It's worse that drugs._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
