http://www.idkfa.com/v3 idkfa: syndicated http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3704 Second-to-last Tuesday night run, a fun little 7k jog through the woods. All I can say is my poor trail shoes. Less than 10 runs with them and they have already been completely swampified twice. I just hope they don't start smelling... Did about 7 minute miles, which isn't too bad considering I ate and drank heavily for a week. But my nemesis still destroyed me by 25 seconds a mile. Time to start drinking spinach shakes for breakfast.

But I hit a milestone. I beat Travis, even if only by a small amount. He was very gracious and complimented me for it, such a nice guy. We'll see if I can keep in shape enough to keep it consistent. Overall, ran 7:25 minute miles, which I feel is very good, given the course (and the fact that for practically half of it, my shoes were completely soaked). Unfortunately, my true nemesis, Erik Mundahl (never met him, this is based solely on the fact that we have similar names and he is also an environmental engineer based on google stalking), beat me by about three and a half minutes. I have work to do.

Finishing with the munchkins was a pain. I think I may have literally hurdled a child or two that I didn't see around a curve. Oh well, still fun, and my best finish yet! akarmybrat@idkfa.com (akarmybrat) The Sporting Life Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:19:06 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3603 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3594 Alright, I was a little disappointed with week 3. Less than 5 miles, completely on groomed trails, and they somehow designed the course so that all three leagues essentially finished at the same time. I've never wanted to conduct mass murder of children so bad. However, even though I literally walked up to Heather near the starting line, then said, "Hello" before immediately starting to run (no warming up, no stretching), I still managed damn near 7 minute miles, even on the hills. So I win. I was just ready to run for another 20 minutes ;) Scrotor@idkfa.com (Scrotor) The Sporting Life Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:43:19 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3594 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3576 Aw, thanks! I was also coming off of a 4 day bender. So that probably didn't help my cause ;) Scrotor@idkfa.com (Scrotor) The Sporting Life Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:09:43 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3576 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3574 o_0 kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) The Sporting Life Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:29:56 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3574 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3568 But come on... That is just an unfair comparison. The Beckett's were engineered to run. It's like they are a family of criminals born to run from something. I remember "running" with Ryan and other friends in high school, and by "run" I actually mean he was out for a jog and I was trying to hide the fact that I was dying. You're cooler than they are anyway. :) CapitolZebra@idkfa.com (CapitolZebra) The Sporting Life Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:23:41 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3568 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3567 Damn, still got smoked by Thomas and Ryan Beckett!!! 8:19 miles...

Next time I need to take my iphone, so I can map where we went. It was so labyrinthine! But fun!

You can register day of the race. Likely I will not get 7 of 8, though I'm thinking about having my roommate register and pay for the races I miss... I can make 5 with my slope schedule, so I'll just have to cheat for 2. akarmybrat@idkfa.com (akarmybrat) The Sporting Life Thu, 08 Sep 2011 16:32:23 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3538 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3537 Dammit, I wish I would have known about this! Improv practice just moved and freed up my Tuesday nights, and I've been running. A lot. And I run faster for anything competitive. Can I still do this? And how are you going to get 7 of 8 with your slope schedule?

On a happier note, it should make the run next week at Russian Jack seem easy and very very flat... akarmybrat@idkfa.com (akarmybrat) The Sporting Life Wed, 07 Sep 2011 02:27:28 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=3511&msg_id=3511
