I might have to borrow that with a twist. Let's see, I ran 423.86 miles last year...I need to pick out a city about that distance from me and see if I can not only get there but one another 425 miles beyond this year...Time to hit the maps and see where I want to go on a virtual run tour... Dexter and Mike--did you guys survive Freezaroo 2? I saw the pic on Mike's page but that was before the run (the caption was cute though) We survived! The picture was taken after the race! Here are some more pictures from race day. It was warm though, a degree or two above freezing. My run tomorrow morning is going to be around 10º F, but that's how we're going to WIN!
Wow that was awsome . Saw a bit of your western NY weather when i watched the Outdoor game from Buffalo on New Years Day.

sounds like pretty sound advice to me - it's the getting out of bed (early in the morning) that seems to be the hold up for me Happy running! |

nice to see you're still among us Sal! How's Chicago? (hmmm, you worked until 9 pm - I can probably guess) |

Pro 4541 A farming town in MN | Subject: RE: Who's Your Marmadaddy milaminute - 2008-01-01 5:16 PM OK, so I guess I didn't do my official introduction... Oh my...I guess I really AM team captain. Alrighty then...I suppose I should do an 'official' introduction. Hmm...let's see. I've been on a business trip for the last 3 days. Usually I can get in something close to the definition of a workout, but alas, not this week. Alright...here goes. Have a seat. I've had BT withdrawals, so I might be rambling tonight. I ran track in high school. 800, mile and 2 mile. Never was that fast. Never broke a 5:30 mile. The closest I've gotten to my high school mile time is a 6:20. It's been hard for me to accept this getting older thing. I'll be 44 this summer. I've been a biker every since I was a senior in high school. I was biking before it was cool to bike. Remember the movies 'Breaking Away,' 'American Flyer' and 'Quick Silver?' Those were my motivational movies. But I don't bike near enough. I've gotten lucky a few times and have been able to pull off a 20 mph race ride without much training. That has got to stop. Saw a few Ironman World Championships (Kona) when I was in high school (the Dave Scott, Scott Tinley and Mark Allen days), and since then have wanted to do a triathlon. I was a couch potato all the way until my sophomore year of college, then took a beginner swimming class and started my quest to do a triathlon. I started dating my wife and put the triathlon plans on hold when we got engaged, married and eventually had our 1st child. So, it was couch potato life with the addition of child 2 and 3. My extent of exercise was one week every year before Corporate Cup. I would do the mile run, 5K and occasionally when they couldn't find anyone else, the 50 yd swim. So...this is where Brett (UTTriman) comes in. About 4 years ago he pestered, yes PESTERED me every week to come join his running group. They would do 5 miles twice a week on the weekdays. I joined them and about died. After a few more times, it got easier. He then invited me to join them for their long runs. A few of them were training for a marathon. I thought they were nuts. I said I'd do it, but would NEVER run a marathon. Ramped up too quickly, and got ITB. Took 2 weeks off, started training again, and they finally convinced me to run Grandma's marathon. The following year, they decided to try triathlons. The Lifetime Fitness tri was my first. I had serious open water issues, and ended up talking to the lifeguard, resting on a float at the halfway point of the swim (my average time per 100 yds was about 4 min...hee). So, here we are. Training for another marathon this spring (Fargo) and my first half Ironman (Liberty) a few weeks after the marathon (yeah, I know it's nuts)... Challenges are great. I'll try to be a good captain, but please forgive me if I go through a few days of drought. Family activities, work and work travel sometimes distract me I'll work on getting a team list with links together so we can keep the list in the 'Goals' section of our blogs. Good luck this month everyone. My plan is to break back into running tomorrow with 3 miles. Later. |

Cindy and I did a 5K on New Years Eve. 18 degress. I ran it sick. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I've got a half marathon coming up at the end of the month...the Securian Frozen 5K and half marathon event. Ask Mila what she thinks about it. Come on up everyone |

Member 22 Hamden, CT | Subject: RE: Who's Your Marmadaddy It’s supposed to warm up this weekend and I can’t wait. I hate running on the treadmill and look for every opportunity to be outside. Oh, I should mention that I’m a wuss who won’t run outside unless it’s above freezing. I will never understand the people bundled up in a muffler, gloves, hat, sweatshirt, jacket, and SHORTS to go out running when it’s 7 degrees. Those are days I force myself to watch SportsCenter while running in the 70 degree warmth of my local gym. |
