A2K Running Club

Just read the sub-50 statement.
Scratch the Garmin.

november 7th happens to be the day we fall back, clock-wise.
the race is scheduled to start at 10:00am standard time.

i 'spect there will be mucho confusion getting everybody to the starting line on time...

I just finished the New York Road Runners 5 (-miler). Because it was my dress rehearsal for The Big One, my time didn't need to be spectacular, and it wasn't (54:15). And, I'm almost qualified for the 2011 Marathon already. One more race once I've finished the 2010 one.

Go, go 'our boys' - very proud of you.

It's not the only race today. RP and I are doing a 5K today, too.

ahh, I was looking for news of that...

GO JES.... GO RP...

y'all are amazing... ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy running, a2kers..

Thanks! We had a lovely time of it. Relaxing with Tylenol and A2K.

26:13.
hot shower = goooooooood...

Interesting New Yorker article on the advisability, or not, of trying to change one's stride - Alberto Salazar as coach.

Here's the video -

Anyone watching the NYC marathon? I'm wondering how many of the elites heel strike or not..

26:13? That sounds personal-record-ish, doesn't it? As I remember it, you're usually in the 28s, no? Anyway, well done!

thanx... but i feel mighty discussing that after what you accomplished yesterday!

how do you feel this morning?

R (3 seconds off PB) P

RP - you did brilliant - I can hardly imagine walking a K leave alone running 5...

y'all have inspired us so much - seriously - you've no idea how inspiring you are...

next year Charlie and I are going to climb Mount Snowdon!!!!

gonna have to do a lot of training and mind, I haven't "walked" in years... and tho we won't be 'running' - we will be here on this thread!

wooooo hoooo - y'all are amazing. WELL DONE and keep going - you keep us going. Be very proud of your achievements.


Thomas - how's yer legs and feet today?

thanx, Iz.
wow, Snowdon is a 2k round trip... nothing to sneeze at!

Snowdon!

And running, for me, is defined as slightly faster than walking.

It's all good, love.

Thanks for asking. I'm in Ibuprofen-Nirvana; I feel great!

how about today?
i've noticed that soreness often takes 48 hours to materialize...

Today I'm feeling much better. The hamstrings and the quadricepses still burn a bit, but they no longer need any Ibuprofen. Everything else is fully recovered: I don't feel any exhaustion or burnout cardiovascular-wise. (Never did, not even at the finish line.) I'm not feeling the slightest sting in any joints, which surprises me a little. My feet haven't even sprouted the tiniest blister. Nothing! Perhaps that cockamamie tale is right after all: Preparation does help when you're running a Marathon.

I'll go to the gym for some light ellipticalling later today.

nice...

Completely pain-free today. I'm back to my normal exercise regimen.
