this isn't even the BIG carb load but
or is it just regular training
whitticus: our local club's 10-miler race is tomorrow so I'm doing a 4 miles warmup, racing 10 miles, then doing a 4 mile cooldown (after enjoying the free ice cream and beer that makes this our best race)
so kinda both regular training and event
next weekend I'm running 20-22 so I will be choking down EVEN MORE carbs
are you doing the marathon this year?
Not NYC, but I am running Wineglass Marathon up in Corning
and then a trio of Didney races on NYC weekend actually
yeah ryan's not running NYC this year either, he's doing marine corps + philly
Yeah I made the mistake of looking at how many days were left on my training app and puffed up nervously like an angry cat
I've done Philly! I hope he gets good weather, it's so hard to predict with a race that late in the year
philly will be fun bc i will just get to hang out at my sisters' houses and drink beer while he does the hard work
im also going down to DC and doing a bunch of other stuff while he does the hard work
you really get the best part of marathons
look i just want him to keep running marathons in exotic locales so i can follow him there
begging him to do some euro ones next
if he doesn't, you can follow me to cool locations and pretend we're related
I wanna do Berlin and London to make progress on my six stars
Boston and Tokyo last b/c I will probs have to pay out the nose for Boston and Tokyo has weird rules
my mom did boston a few times. im surprised ryan hasnt gone for it yet
he could probably time qualify from what you've said
his best is barely sub-4h and he's 40
40-44 for the mens is still like...3h10m!!
My friend Leslie once invited me to run a race by her because she said she heard I was trying to BQ and I asked who told her that filthy lie
Yeah it's nuts. I'd have to cut off like an hour 15 from my best time
LMAO so I was on the phone with fam and my parents have the kids tonight. They asked how far I was running tomorrow and I said 18 miles.
In the background, Charlotte absolutely SHRIEKED "FOR PRACTICE?!"
Six minute PR today, one year after a five minute PR. Not bad not bad 🥳
ran 18 miles yesterday, shocked that I'm sore today
actually it's less the total mileage and more that I hauled ass during the race yesterday that's got the lactic acid really going
