Taser Running II (Page 30)

G'afternoon team! Got another 4 iles in today bringing my total to 37.67. Only a little more than 7 miles to go for my finish.

Tell you what, it was freaken HOT out there today. Running out in the Texas heat just isn't any fun. I wish I could get myself up early enough to run before I go to work, but that just never seems to happen.  Hopefully I can get a bit of a boost for my races later by training at noon. I would hope that I would be faster when I do run in the morning instead.

toddg - 2009-06-24 3:24 PM So I've found getting all 10 of my toes into the Vibram shoes is as about as frustrating a trying to get winter gloves on our kids. Why do two toes always end up in one slot?

running4beer - 2009-06-24 3:17 PM I'm approaching the moment of truth here-- one doc says I need ankle surgery (for recurring peroneal subluxation), but I'm getting a second opinion in about an hour.  Funny thing is that as soon as I started to entertain surgery, my gimpy ankle didn't seem to bother me all that much!  Although I have been limiting my mileage, so that could be it, too...

Race is near the new house.  5 hour drive.  I took Friday off, so we are leaving tomorrow night as soon as I get out of work.  So, packing must be done tonight.  Except for my running shoes, cause I'll need them in the morning.  (Don't want to get tasered right before my race.  Or do I?)

ebshot - 2009-06-24 1:57 PM I am HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!  Big surprise, huh?  What's for dinner everyone?  I'm thinking taco salad with ground turkey.  But I really want some brick oven pizza.

Well, only 7 more days to taser people in this challenge.  I'm sure you'll find people to taser next month

Also just had my first pair of Vibram five finger shoes delivered today. Gonna be interesting to see how they work out. Read the other various threads here and decided I had to try them.

And also started reading 'Born to Run' last night. Great book, but not one you want to start when you're trying to get to bed at a decent time for an early morning.

You gotta at least pack once tonight so you can then unpack and ponder just how much extra stuff to bring along. Last trip I just gave up and took nearly all my crap along. Garage bike gear table and closet area was nearly empty.

Man oh man does this heat suck. but I ddin't know it was pushing 100?!?

toddg - 2009-06-24 1:22 PM

But I made it up at 5:35am today to get a morning ride in. 8 minute T1 and on the road by 5:43. 

toddg - 2009-06-23 5:33 PM 10 mile run in last night.  Less than 13 miles left to hit 100%. Looks like I set my goal almost perfectly for the month. Should be finished on Sunday with an extra day next week for any additional mileage.

disturbed275 - 2009-06-24 6:51 AM I'm actually hoping it rains a little to offset the heat

toddg - 2009-06-24 12:27 PM And I got my first stopped & clipped in tip-over completed on the bike. Almost made it a year (Jul 1st) before getting that done in this bike.

It was the first day I've taken our son onto a real public road (we just bike the gated neighborhood normally). Guys were fixing the road/sidewalk intersection so we had to swing wide around them. I was having him then get back toward the sidewalk as there is really no shoulder on this road. He got too close and ran into the curb and stopped. I stopped as well for him to get onto the sidewalk and for whatever stange reason unclipped the right foot (which I never do). Turned the bars right and over I went right into the middle of the road.  Oh well. That's accomplished now.
