That's a damn solid trail run...

@midwesterner85 You are way beyond me... lol... I can't get so specific cuz my brain would melt... I run 5 days a week, lift 3 and eat whatever strikes my fancy... I just kinda eyeball my intake (basically vegetarian /vegan so no meat rotting in my gut)

@marisap2010 I know, right?

Holy shlt @midwesterner85... You are going to do 100+ miles per WEEK? Ok... You are a separate crazy, like a @AlphaHowls crazy....

Looking back over several posts regarding socks and shoe rotation... I usually run sockless, but when I wear socks I go with Balega and during the winter I use merino wool hiking socks. I used to run sockless all winter, but that got a little extreme some times. I rotate shoes all the time and I am convinced it helps me…

@midwesterner85 This is the 50k training plan I am following... I do five runs a week, instead of four, which is why I see you doing more long runs than me. I am currently finishing up the week in column 10. Next week, however, I will be missing my weekend runs and the first three runs of the following week because I will…

July goal is 150 miles 7/1..... 5.00............ 5.00/145.00 7/2..... Rest............ 5.00/145.00 7/3..... 7.00............12.00/138.00 7/4..... 5.00............17.00/133.00 7/5..... 7.00............24.00/126.00 7/6..... 5.00............29.00/121.00 7/7..... Rest............29.00/121.00 7/8.....…

Excellent! Good luck! I was curious because our routines are so similar... I have 18 miles on the books for tomorrow and 5 on Sunday...

@midwesterner85 What's your long run this weekend?

I have met 5 people from here... All delightful... All exactly who they said they were...

This one has been around for a long time, but I could never figure how it would work. If you ask someone to scare you, wouldn't you be expecting it and not get scared?

I have heard bite on a lemon.... and also pull hard on your tongue. Never tried either. They sound fake.

Run like the wind...

That is always my short term goal... my long-term goal is, when it's my time to go, to vapor lock about 20 miles out on a single track trail and become a mossy mound to provide a place of respite for a weary runner...

Hey... don't lump all of us lawyers into that scrap heap....

I am not having any mobile issues....

It's 82F here right now, but it was a delicious 57F when I ran this morning.

The BMI charts tell me that I am obese and that I should lose 14 pounds. I am 5'7" and weigh 158 pounds and have a 31" waist. I tell the BMI charts to go eff themselves. But if I am a fatty, so be it, because if I lost 14 pounds to placate the BMIs, I would be such a skinny little bltch third grade girls could beat my…

@Marissaxzxzxz Those runs are so nice when they pop up... I wish I could get them more often, but it seems like the "slogs" are always waiting just outside the door for me.

Welcome @mahganmuskett

Yeah... I felt bad... But we were all blown away by the mileage...

I think we scared off that girl who stopped by to say she was going to run 160 miles in 11 days despite being a non-runner.

So Amy.... is that how you look, more or less?

Lol... I wish I could "plod along" like @AlphaHowls... What a nut....

This is why I do races... They give me something to focus on, they get me committed to a training program which keeps me consistent and let me justify buying new shoes if I do well and finish a long race.
