@5BeautifulDays..... send this link to your friend... this guy is awesome... http://www.allentattoo.com/mastectomy/

Well... I DID think about that, but then my super-zen me perked up and said, "I bet there are some really cool bars with live music in Cleveland and that is way better than a rest stop". I really suck at not listening to super-zen me, so I think we are staying home and getting up early.

My next race is two hours from my house. Seems silly to drive two hours the night before and waste money on a hotel, so I will have to get up at 3:30 a.m. and be out the door by 4:00 to get my registration packet at 6:00 and then catch a little nap before the 7:00 start... or... any of you in the Cleveland area let me…

Wait... you are weighing your shoes? Finn... you are a MF-ing hoot... lol... Here's what I think... get up the morning of the race, throw on smelly unwashed running clothes, grab your oldest, dirtiest beat-up pair of running shoes with the most miles on them, no water bottles, no gels, no snacks, no coffee, nothing and…

@MNLittleFinn... you need to be faster on the edit button...lol

What kind of race is this? Potato sack?

Giving the knee another rest day. It's feeling good, but maybe not entirely 31 miles good quite yet. I have seven more days to get to 100 miles for the month (a hollow victory to be sure) and 15 days to the race. At this point I am aiming for a "grind-it-out-and-finish-healthy" sort of race and not a dark personal Bataan…

Thanks @Stoshew71... that makes sense. I may do a little more than that, but maybe not worry about forcing in any runs over 15... just feels weird going into a race with no long runs. I would feel a little better if I was running a trail I had been on before, but I really don't know much about it other than it has multiple…

First pain free run since my fall on June 3.... only 5 miles, but it's a start. Had to modify my monthly goal from 180 to 100, which still might be a stretch, but I just can't do a sub-100 mile month. @Stoshew71, @MobyCarp , @Ohhim... I have a 50k in a little under three weeks, but have run very few miles this month due to…

Can you feel me, bro?

My race is in 3 weeks and my knee has really dented my training mileage... not sure if I will even get a 100 miles this month... And my vacation is tough...I can drink a lot of alcohol, but I am even impressing myself this trip... not getting many miles, but I'm not thinking about my knee much...lol...

:) I embrace it...

I was just hoping he would take my advice and stick himself

I vote he pins it on with the accompanying safety pins... after he puts,the shirt on.

As a divorce lawyer, I am jaded and skeptical about relationships, but I am convinced that beaches and alcohol is a union that will make it happily ever after. Even my donkeyhole knee feels good about it.

@cljoe7... I have been doing some of your RICES, but I have been doing A LOT of @WhatMeRunning's RICES. And that was long before I hurt my knee.

Two days with no running... one more tomorrow... Maybe see how the knee feels on Wednesday. Will be at the beach all week so maybe I just skip the running all week and drink at the pool all day...

Trail races are notoriously bad... the last 50k I did was .6 miles longer. I did one that was nearly a mile longer and the RD was like "Yeah, we know.... but it's an ultra and whats another mile?" Lol...

Doing these little runs every other day is driving me crazy... ran a little over four miles on trails today with a knee brace... awkward and uncomfortable. I can't get myself to just bag the running for a week or two... I keep hoping that each time I go out it will be better. The only thing I felt like I learned today, is…

A pox upon thee... don't call yourself a Pittsburgher...lol... but seriously... you suck...

@Ohhim... you got tix for the Pens tonight? My normal connection for tickets went to jail last week and left me hanging...lol
