I have a list, in case you're wanting to make any money off your misery.

I just typed out a mega-rant but deleted it all. I think I will spare you. 

My cousin is asking for my blessing on his terrible marathon plan. Siiighhhhh.

Asalzwed - 2012-10-19 3:23 AM

Surprised you haven't done it yourself. How have you been feeling by the way?

TriAya - 2012-10-18 2:25 PM

Your cousin (doesn't matter which one) is hot and awesome and I think it's great he's gonna do a mary.

That said, when people ask me stuff like this ... I generally say:

Eff off and die. Never mind ... looks like you're well on your way to doing that already!

Okay, I say it more nicely. But that's pretty much the sentiment. If I really really like them and they're even partway genuinely asking for advice (not just to cosign BS), I'd point out something like how incredible he is and some good parts of the plan (I mean, it has running in it, right? Right?) and then ask questions about the other parts. Pointed questions.

Honestly? Not great. But I did take today completely off for Mutti's Bday. Hey, I even skipped our 8am walk

However, I'm full speed ahead with IM training (sort of. Highly adjusted). If I'm to have any hope in December, I need to. If I blow out training--well, I'll probably have a really nice aquabike and vacay then.

Well he did his first mary when I did mine. Long story short he is attributing his poor performance to the fact that he didn't run a full 26.2 in training and completely ignoring the fact his training was terribly inconsistent in addition to missing a whole-lotta long runs. 

He's a very smart guy whom I respect the heck out of but c'mon!

Sigh. Brilliant people have their areas of incomprehensible short-sightedness. I wouldn't know anything about that, though.

You could send him "helpful" links to threads on BT ...

Asalzwed - 2012-10-19 3:32 AM

Do you have a strategy? I worry that you will try to do too much at once and make yourself sick(er) I wonder if just an approach of frequent short workouts would better suit you? I dunno ... thinking out loud.

Article

Interesting "article" lists the top 100 male athletes of all time.  Dave Scott is 85 and Crowie is 58.  Sadly they were both beat out by Brad Pitt (57)  and Richard Simmons (20) . LA was #8.  There were some other cyclists and runners in there.  Pix not hard to look at either

Okay, right now I'm going to try to do too much death napping ... I probably won't succeed, but I sure intend to enjoy the attempt.

Love to you all.

WELCOME BACK FROGGY!

Ooooooh! 

Very interesting "It's about what else you do with the body you build." I like that.

* and MOST aren't hard to look at. But some are

AND is Georg Hackenschmidt just totally naked for a reason?

rrrunner - 2012-10-18 3:01 PM

I wondered about that too, especially for that time period.

How was I supposed to know that the cake (for my mother's 79th birthday) pointed out to me by the boutique deli owner (in stringy cutoffs and flipflops) as "very popular" would be a NUCLEAR GAY SMURF EXPLOSION?!

The evening ended with my mom snorting blue frosting out her nose. I'd say it was a ripping success of a 79th birthday.

Oh, Lordy.

So, I mentioned in the previous thread that I got a cramp in my right calf at the end of my run last night. I stretched it. Soaked it in a hot bath. Slept on it. And it's still a little sore this morning. I've not had this happen before (that I can remember), so I don't know what else to do? I'm scheduled to run 3-4 tonight, so I'd like it to be in tip-top shape.

Advice?

Asalzwed - 2012-10-18 2:11 PM

That's not a rope

I just got my fitness results back from our coordinator for the test we had earlier this week.

My body comp (aka BMI) is in the 85th percentile

My run (1.5 mile) and push-ups are in the 95th percentile

My sit-ups are in the 90th percentile

And my flexibility is in the 80th percentile

These percentages are based on law-enforcement, not the general public, and they are based on gender and age. Interestingly my numbers are down from last year because I didn't specifically train for the fitness test this year. My run, however was faster in spite of stopping at one point during the test to fiddle with my music. Yay!

The frustrating part is that with those stats I am stil BOMOP in triathon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys an gals. Thanks for the enquiries, been on my hols then v. busy at work once back. Add to that the fact that i started smoking again whilst in Turkey and my mojo went a little bit too far south. Gave myself a big kick up the b*ckside and feel a lot better for it.

 Back on the non smoking meds so I should be back in the clean air society by the end of the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Just started back on the jogging and am planning a final event before the end of the the year. The 'Evil Sheriff' duathlon calls to me. Should be a lot of fun, running through Sherwood Forest, if the November weather holds out.

I seem to have missed a lot af chit chat and no doubt a few RR's. Well done to all of you who have completed races recently. I have been thinking about you Manatees despite not getting onto the site that often.

Unfortunately for you lot, I'm back.
