Taser Running (Page 17)

Hi everyone!

  I see that I am already many pages behind, but I fully expected that once I saw some of the names on the challenge.  For anybody that does not know me, my name is Travis.  I am currently a Sergeant in the U.S. Marines stationed at Buckley AFB in Aurora CO.  That is about 15 minutes east of Downtown Denver.  I am hoping to complete 60 miles of running during the month of June, which would normally be very low milage, but have been fighting some issues that just wont go away.  Namely inflamed lungs.  I look forward to competing and completing this challenge with you guys since it has been many months since I have been able to grasp the goals I have set forth.

Inflamed lungs sounds like it scores real high on the suck-o-meter... 

Welcome Travis!

Have fun, HAWTie.  BTW - see you at Triple H!  I'm in!

disturbed275 - 2009-06-01 12:22 PM They still don't have splits posted online from my race yesterday.  I'm starting to get very very annoyed.

They never did post the results from my 5K last month.... (It was the first time it was being run, but they DID have a company handling the timing....) The chip numbers didn't match the names. So the results were all messed up. (And yes, there were $$$ prizes.) They had me down as a guy. And my name - well, it showed a fantastic time that I *wish* had been mine. Since they never posted the results, I'm assuming they weren't able to correct the problem. (Also, they took photos, and those never appeared either....)

Ok, now that's frustrating.  You didn't happen to accidentally pick up any cash with your fantastic time, did you?

Nah. It wasn't a winning time, but it was wayyyy better than my actual time was. Also, I'd have needed to change my name to "Andy."

If it was a fantastic time then that was sooooo not me...  They would have to get out the calendar...

It does.  What should normally be a simple activity takes a lot more effort to accomplish, and even more effort to recover.  For example, a three mile run that I can normally run in well under 21 minutes and usually under 20 minutes even here in the mile high altitude is taking more like 30 minutes and I my lungs feel like they would at the faster time.  Not to mention the deep dull pain in my chest.

losta - 2009-06-01 7:01 PM I didn't really think about it. But since they were short I'll count it as one.

losta - 2009-06-01 4:44 PMAhoy Everybody! I got my first run in. 15 minutes of Aqua jogging after a morning swim. I'm heading out to do a little more on dry land shortly. Is that one or two sessions?

You can count it however you want. When you figured out your goal, did you plan on this being one session, or two? The choice is yours.

If you're happy, I'm happy. LOL (And if I'm not happy, I'll just taser someone. Then I'll be happy again.)

I think we can find someone to put on stand by for tasering...

tlnewman30 - 2009-06-01 6:39 PM Come now Dee, you of all people knew that I couldn't stay away from the challenges forever.

Oh, I knew you'd be back. I just didn't know when. I was hoping it was sooner, rather than later -- because I knew you were having health issues. We've had a few people show up this month, who I haven't seen in awhile.

Its you Dee! People want to come abd play with you...

This doesn't mean I can't run harder and fast, just that it takes more effort than it did three months ago.
