malestudent15 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I was eyeing the Avengers half marathon since my kid loves super heroes but I don't know if I can justify it. Maybe if NYC doesn't work out I'll go for it. I plan on doing that one in 2015 if they have it again, so I can complete the disney coast to coast challenge.

RowBearToe Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 I just signed up for this. Who wouldn't want all-you-can-eat bacon and a bloody mary after finishing a 5k? http://baconchase.com/ That's awesome! haha they're planning one in DC, might have to try it out. Also, I love that they have a 0.05k haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowBearToe Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Alright ladies and gentlemen, it is officially spring, and super nice out today! Those of you who have been waiting out the winter to run, it's time to hit the road (I'm looking at you ReffersonPowell...haha) But in all seriousness, since it is spring and starting to warm up, I figured I'd remind those of you who are planning to start running again soon (or today...) to join the endomondo challenge here: http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/14197428 It is a yearly competition for most miles, but we have people everywhere from 10 miles to 200 miles, so don't feel intimidated that other people have been running for longer. Also, if we get more people involved and there's interest, I can set up a monthly challenge each month as well, so Josh isn't always in first haha So get out there, start running and rack up those miles! *smacks ass as you run by* WHOOO! #peptalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 For anyone looking for a good deal on a 2nd set of sneakers. Asics put out the gel 33-3. I'm seeing the gel 33-2 out there at half off. Great set of sneakers. I'm getting another pair on the cheap and tossing them in the closet. RowBearToe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well, apparently I'm not a very good motivational speaker... I'll just stick to my day job then haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'll join the group in the future but boy will I lose any cumulative mile competition. It is also still in the low 30s and high 20s here and everything is covered in ice. My spring starts sometime in May! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malestudent15 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Ha Ha. I thought that motivational speech was very inspiring. I have two runs to upload from my watch, but I am pretty lazy. Yesterday's run data is messed up cause it said I ran a mile a little over 5 minutes and I know I can't do that. Was going to do the track in the evening, but my friend didn't get back to me so I just rested since my heel was kind of achy. I'd be down for monthly challenges (add the stipulation can't win back to back challenges) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 The site isn't really multisport friendly. I'd join but I don't need a third site to be loading workouts. I got a slight pull in my left calf Tuesday. Took off Wednesday. Ran a nice 4.25 mi last night. Probably pushing a bit but with my volume I deal with this 3-4 times a year. Little nicks are going to happen. Swam this morning to stretch it all out though and feeling good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 This weather blows. Shorts and t-shirt yesterday. Tights, shorts and a hoodie today. Crazy. I hit a great 4 miles yesterday and planned to go 10 today but cut it off at 5. This calf tweak is tightening so I'm icing right now with plans to ice on and off all day and assess it again tomorrow. My hopes of an April half marathon are fading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 My fastest 5km time was 25:07, my 5km run yesterday came in at 23:52. I wasn't even trying to break 25 minutes and somehow broke 24 haha I was pleasantly surprised for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacredheart Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I cant wait to start running again, but I am still waiting for ice to go away so I dont die running. The snow/ice storms once a week arent really helping me out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 HOLY SHIT! I got selected for the NYC Marathon! I'm so freaking pumped. No question I'll be ready and finish. None. Can't even tell you how happy I am. My August - November: Aug 3: NYC Triathlon (Olympic Distance) Aug 31: Six Flags Great Adventure Tri (Competing in Sprint) Sept 19: Princeton 70.3 Half Ironman Nov 3: NYC Marathon RowBearToe, sacredheart and BuzzersonKillwell 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malestudent15 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Congrats!. Starting to fill out my race schedule. All I know that is set in stone is 5k tomorrow, Rumspringa 13.1 April 6th, Disney Marathon 2015. Will probably end up doing 20-30 races this season.

jerseydave77 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Not thrilled to have the 70.3 and Marathon so close together but I'll make it work. I was planning to shift my focus to more swimming/cycling but it looks like I need to up the run volume and scale back the swimming some. I have a lot of work to do.

David The Gnome Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Congrats, Dave! Unrelated: I'm fairly sure that I may have cracked or at least bruised a rib recently. Breathing has been a pain in the ass in general today. Not pleased with how much of a setback this could become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just horsing around with my girlfriend and felt this insane shift in my ribcage that took the wind out of me for a minute or so. After that it felt totally fine up until this morning. We'll see how the best few days go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
