Rumor has it that the guys family saw the entire collapse and death! She was 34 and he was 35!?!? WTF??? Wow. That is truly sad. Thoughts and prayers are with their families. yes...I saw the girl and I guess Fielding from BT saw the guy right at the finishing shoot! |
as did another fellow that made it to just 50 yards from the finishing shoot and he also collapsed and died. | 2009-10-07 9:12 AM in reply to: #2447066 |

In fact the parking they had all the athletes/runners park in for the hm was up a set of 20 or more stairs....if you did not walk up them..you had to go around a block to this ramp....there were only a few brave runners who climbed the stairs..most walked the block (and I did too!) no stairs for me! and now the question of the day!?? how many stairs? and how long did it take you? oh and were you going up...or down those stairs? 3 flights of stairs and I had to go up and down them at least 10 times today. Down was far worse than up. I'm shuddering still thinking about it Darn our split level facility!I feel your pain! hope your legs are all stretched out and ready for those climbs and descents today! Definite improvement today! |

Still feel like I am breathing mud. Today is weight lifting. I may do a mile run to warm up the leg muscles first though. Tonight is Fettucini with grilled chicken and a spring salad! yummers! mmmmmmmmmm sounds good! |

Elite 3447 West Allis, WI | Subject: RE: Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge kromanowski - 2009-10-06 9:34 AM Question of the Day: Does anyone else have a mental block when it comes to going beyond a certain distance? And if you did and have pushed past it how did you do it? Mine is the 6 mile mark...I am fine running 5 miles, 6 miles I have done once or twice and am reasonably ok but I (mentally) freak out when I think about doing anything more...I have never gone further than six. katie one of the things I was told is to go with time and not distance that way you pass 6 miles and didn't even know you did it! (until you log your miles) So I would just run for x min and before you know it you passed your distance. |

The human body can survive on surprisingly little sleep. yes, soooooooooo true when you are young...but at my age...I need all the sleep I can get...I consider it my beauty sleep! if I dont get a good 8-9 hours of sleep...Im worthless the next day...well, more so then usual! LOL I can survive for about a week on 3 a night, but then I have to get at least 8-10 one weekend night...5 will get me by fairly regularly 3 a night? Wow! Sounds like me in college. No way I could do that now. was that book related no sleep or alcohol consumption related no sleep??? |

Master 1726 Sacramento, California | Subject: RE: Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge Morning team...I am trying to move my runs around this week so I can be a supportive wife and still get all my miles in. What I think I am going to do is...Move today's work out to Friday (the DH wants to go to dinner with friends tonight, but if we don't go then I will do the run tonight), do tomorrows planned 4 miles as planned, and then do the six miler on Saturday afternoon after going to the farmers market and visiting the marathons expo for the DH, but before going out for pasta. Sound good? |

Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge So Saturday night we had our big fall party down at my In-Law's. They are against any kind of drinking at all. It's all evil, blah blah whatever. Do you notice I don't share the same opinion? Friends of mine were coming and they knew about the In-Laws not being fans of alcohol. Both of them come walking across the yard carrying blue cups, instead of the clear plastic ones everyone was using. My friend asked me if I like Tonic or Fresca. I enjoyed the evening drinking 2 rather large blue cups full of vodka and Fresca. I had a very nice buzz on and as far as I know no one knows what we were doing. It felt like I was 16 again trying to hide it from my parents instead of 36 and well beyond legal. It was a nice night for a bonfire and to be outside. |
