well that sucks. Maybe you can find a new doctor? :D HAPPY THURSDAY!! it is Thursday, right? All week I thought it was Thursday so now it's here and I'm not sure. Anyway, run done, haircut after work then pedal. What's on tap for today? GIT back to work

I'm getting my hair cut during lunch today.  Never thought I'd type that on this forum.  My shoulder is yellow, but I'm told that's a good thing.  I had a spirited trainer ride this morning, so my outlook is improving.

Good to hear.  Shaggy and yellow are not a good combination.   Sounds like you and the bike are getting along well.  I was telling DH about your accident last night and he asked (with a grin), "How's the bike?"  I can't remember if anybody asked....

The bike amazingly got away with only a hint of a scrape my left shifter.  My body broke my bike's fall.

Anyone else on Athlinks? Maybe we can add that to the list of Manatee things that we do.  This is the place of truth for the races I've done and my finishing times. I do keep the links to race results, but sometimes those break.

Hit me up. http://www.athlinks.com/athletes/178070150

Shaggy and Scooby, on the other hand...

And I think he said bike had minimal damage, like mostly scratches. Certainly not enough to turn it yellow

First thought:  You didn't do this before your wedding?!

Second thought:  You didn't do this before your race?!

Hahaha!  I got sucked into the Mike Rossi thread.  Be careful of your Athlinks!

Short version: The guy who wrote an open letter to his kids' principal because the school distract called pulling your children out of school to watch their dad run the Boston Marathon an "unexcused abscence" may have cheated to get his BQ.  Evidence, used includes his race history on Athlinks

Story is no on Runner's World.

Ha!  Had that same thought.  I'm thinking it was probably good that you didn't get it cut before your race.  It gave your head a little extra padding.

It reads to me like all "evidence" is circumstantial.  While improbable he made the fitness gains necessary it is still possible.  Unfortunately, he has already been tried and convicted via social media.   Pretty tough to prove either way.  I'm sure that there are probably more BQ shenanigans that occur given the desire to run the race.  Even with interim timing mats it would be pretty easy to cheat if you really wanted to. 

I just found out that my friend has oral cancer and is having surgery tomorrow.  She said it doesn't seem to have spread to her lymph nodes but they won't know the extent of it until after tomorrow's surgery.  She has a 6 year-old son and her husband had surgery to repair a broken tibia two weeks ago so she's already coping with a lot.  I know you don't know her, but please keep her in your thoughts.  Thanks.

Scary.  I wonder what that girl's average pace was while being chased.  Bet she PR'd for two miles.

Last year I was doing a trail tri (after work series so they're short) and it's at a membership only recreation area. They have bears there and they know it and the bears leave the people alone etc so it's fine. I saw him on one of my runs once. Yeah you can see my pace SPIKE on my garmin data That guy was no further than 5 feet from me just walking in the opposite direction on the side of the trail.

Wow, that's a heck of a way to get your HR up!!  Glad the runners were both unharmed.

No timing mats other than start and finish.  Also, simultaneous marathon relay. 

FWIW, the first time I ran Myrtle Beach, my chip didn't work.  It was on the bib and I think something about my race belt was blocking it (it had a little pouch which I wasn't using anyway).  They had video at each timing mat and I was on that.  I had a GPS track to show them.  I was in a zillion photos from the course photographer.  They investigated and gave me a time.

In the 5k I ran a few weeks ago, my chip did not work so I was not given a result AND the professional photographers missed me finishing.  Good thing it wasn't a BQ attempt or I'd have gone crazy.

Eeeek.

I've run across feral hogs probably four or five times while running from work since moving (an unexpected "training benefit" of moving to TX).  Had me thinking about taking my bear gun with me on runs!  Probably more than I'd want (or need) for a run or a small hog, though...  Those things can be nasty if you surprise them, but they don't bother me much on a run.

Bears, however, are one of the few animals that really wig me out when I'm in close proximity to them.  Having seen a grizzzzzz run across a meadow a bit less than a mile away up in Montana - and do so WAY faster than I could sprint... even on a bike - leaves an impression!

Can't imagine a "running of the bears" would have become as popular as the bull version of that event.
