7 miles this morning. feeling good out there. no watch, so it was refreshing just to run and not stress the times... i did see a dog almost get maced by a horse cop (the dog kept running around the...

Steve, cool video. Although a little anti-climatic at the end, I was waiting for the shot of you CROSSING THE FINISH LINE!!!

I'm getting back into it. Signed up for a trail half-marathon on...

depends on how long of a race, but anything iron or half distance, i add in some makeup remover face-wipe cloths. they come pre-moistened and are great to get the sweat and gunk off from the ride...

ooh you mean they're not going to sell for $3000 on ebay anymore?!

nice!!

now come on, don't be shy, post some pics of you wearing the VFFs. I venture you might be as lampooned as Roo in the manpris :P

huh. you actually carry the bag when you run? How do you carry it- parallel to the ground?

steve, good idea, i might try and improvise a man-made 75lb backpack today. also i think i just...

is there a specific training reason you need to do this?

I'm hoping to get one and start training this way soon, mainly because a few of the firefighter CPAT/physical tests I'm taking in the...

Damn, Steve! What a great video! I already went for my morning run, but watching this makes me want to get out there again :)

not running much, doing 12 hours of class (straight) a day these days and then studying at night. also eating lots of ... unhealthy cafeteria type garbage and sodas.

i can literally feel myself...

Hi Bean (i feel like we have this kinship through our usernames),

I was thinking about some ideas for you and here's what I came up with:
- run with a friend, race each other
- track workouts...

my 30k at pirates cove this weekend went really well, I was psyched at how strong I felt...although HOLY BALLS there was one hill/mountainside that I basically crawled up. It was just up and up and...

:the_finge ha!

please consider this an advanced pic request submission!

Valleygirl, thanks for bumping this thread! I was wondering how everyone's running was going.


Why is it your last year? Is this the last year period? Or did you do some lottery thing that...

YEAH, DUDE!

does leadville have cutoffs?

freaking awesome, Artie!!! Can't wait to hear more about ze race.

Also, Baron, that race seems really fun. I love the mud pits!

Viva/tuckerman/daywalker/steve/other ultra runners:

What does your nutrition generally look like for a mega-long run? How many cals/hour do you try and take?

Should I be doing the same...

good luck steve-o :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

gary a couple of those are really good! you should actually buy them! the one where you are waving is GREAT!

the duathlon is THIS weekend, the 11th. but I actually have my first swim meet on the 18th in Ossiningingiinging (wherever that is), so I can't do the half anyways.

u sure you don't want to send me to train over in the south bronx? maybe east manhattan? maybe down by the docks off brighton beach :D :FIREdevil

i am SO SICK of running in the park... due to...

earl and i are going to watch! where are you going to be? maybe we'll swing by to say hello

anyone done the catalina island marathon (viva, i know you have, kinda)... just signed up for that...

kicking around the idea of a last minute dualthlon in prospect park next weekend.. i've never done a duathlon before but assume it's not much different than a plain ole tri .

also have a 5k...

that looks cool. they need to make that about Ironman :)

KONA IS NEXT WEEKEND I CAN"T WAIT TO WATCH!!!!!!!

Watching the Ironman is like doing an Ironman, I sit in front of my computer...

YOU'RE GOIN DOWN, T-BOY!!!!!!!!

Got coach clearance for the VT50-miler Sept '08. So it's on!

Who's coming with me [/jerry maguire] Roadtrip, Steve, ValleyGirl, Mrryde, Tuckerman, et all?

also, one thing that could be cool is to pick a "maggot race" for '08 and we can all plan to run it together and meet up... and of course go drinking afterwards.... :D

there seem to be a lot of...

how did it go?



holy crap, 200 miles. :eek:

I leave for IMLOU on Thursday morning.

what's everyone's 2008 race schedules look like?
Mine is shaping up, so far it's looking to be:

Knowing that IMLP has more elevation loss than IMCdA, IMCanada, and IMWI combined, I fail to see the veracity of this list. Also, where is Ironman Lousiville?!??!

all you need now is someone to give you a high five!

Way to go Gary!!!!!!! Nice writeup as well!

Did really well at my sprint tri this weekend- 5th in my age group! Couldn't believe I was actually that close to the top. Totally confidence...

Oh, and I got my volunteer assignment for Lake Placid Ironman today!!! :) Yay!

I'm at a rest stop on the run, if any mags are competing? Let me know, I'll make ya a custom sign to cheer (am...

yo gar, aren't you lucky, I sat next to "one of the most renown podiatrists in europe" on my flight, and i asked him what to do for your case. i have his card too if you would like a consult with...

Steve, you officially have the ultra bug.

yay! :) Mrryde, what training program are you going to use? I've heard great things about this race :)

Roadtrip, how about picking up one of those rolly sticks things for your foot that they...

you know what... your long run days for NY marathon should correspond with some of my long run days for IMLOU, we should meet up in NJ and run trails i am so fucking sick of my ONE long run "loop" in...

I finally understand the non-monty python chomping rodent!!

Saturday!! :eek: Thanks for keeping tabs :)

Steve, your motionbased site is cool. I'm going to figure out how to set up and account and steal your quan, if you don't mind.

three killer...

I hear you.


Mine is $110/month, plus tri coach $175 month (and that was the "cheap" coach- the elite guy is $300/month!), plus tri club, $250/year


yeah, i'm interested to see how many...

nice, ron!

what's the average registration fee for a duathlon? are they as ridiculous as tris? other than louisville being $550 to register for, even the rink dink tris i am doing- harriman...

I predict:

I lead on the swim, you fly past me on the bike, and I catch you on the run. Then a battle of sheer will for the win. :)

YAY!!! Psyched for you!

When is the race?

I have my longest BRick yet tomorrow... am a liiiiitle apprehensive about it- 60 mile ride with a 4 mile run immediately after... hopefully goes...

SSD- try the west side highway path, so much better than laps of the park. also, brooklyn bridge.

east river path is pretty scuzzy anywhere except 80th-110th or below delancey.

Ugh, you love those?! That is some rank shit right there. I got a "margarita" shot block in my christmas stocking and... shudder.... DIS. GUST. ING.

I am partial to the fruity powergels-...

Flying to Nashville on Friday for the marathon! :)

Here's an article about an insane 8 year old marathoner in China:

wandering, would this be with TNT? Have you done a marathon before?

I've done two marathons with TNT, one as a mentor. The program has its flaws, although is a GREAT way to get started for...
