ntrprnr 0 #1 July 7, 2007 Today so far, has been a good day. :) Saturday, July 7, 2007. 6:30am The run: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1115569 The Playlist: http://www.shankman.com/run070707.htm Total Distance: 16.0647 miles. Average Heart Rate: 160ish Time: 2:24, 8:57ish pace. Number of times I cursed Brooklyn because I got lost: 3 (note double-backs on map) I'm now off to sit on a plane for six hours, where I'll probably get deep vein thrombosis, and a clot will break off from my leg, travel to my heart, and kill me. But I'll die having completed a GREAT run this morning. "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit, how much you can take, and keep moving forward.

Did a jogging book. Did a jogging video. Dropped out of a heart attack when? WHEN HE WAS FUCKING JOGGING, THAT'S WHEN! What do you wanna bet it was two smokers who found the body the next morning and went, "Hey! That's Jim Fix, isn't it?" "Wow, what a f'ing tragedy.

You are ignoring the fact Fixx spent the first 35 years of his life being an obese smoker. You can't expect a sudden change to a healthy lifestyle to completely undo that."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

ntrprnr 0 #9 July 7, 2007 QuoteQuote Average Heart Rate: 160ish Damn! What is your resting HR? Anywhere from 47 to 55, depending on my mood. Like right now, I'm at Newark Airport, where I just spent the past hour waiting to get off the AirTrain, which freaking DERAILED as I was on it. So I'd guess right now I'm on the higher end of that scale._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

ryoder 1,590 #10 July 7, 2007 You are at 202 and you're doing runs like that?How tall are you? So you're looking to PAY someone to kick you ass? Hmmm... So how much are you willing to pay? Actually, I might be interested in kicking your ass for free if you'll tell O'Reilly to his face that he is a pinhead next opportunity you get.

ntrprnr 0 #11 July 7, 2007 Just under six feet. I've considered entering races in the Clydesdale category, but NY Road Runners doesn't count that as a real category. Any fun 10k's anywhere in the world? Perhaps I'll enter. I've often thought about running races outside the city, just to see what it's like to a) run in a smaller crowd, and b) maybe, just maybe, have the potential to place. One day. Maybe._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,590 #14 July 7, 2007 Oh, the Badwater! I was just reading about that recently. I sent a link to the story to a buddy who is an ex-semi-pro cyclist, (who hates running), and he sent this back: QuoteI see the Badwater Ultramarathon. I see trouble on the way. I see shin splints and dehydration. I see bad times today. It's too late to do this year, but there is a BIG annual race here in Boulder you would probably like: http://www.bolderboulder.com/"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

ntrprnr 0 #15 July 7, 2007 That's a fun one - I'd totally do that one next year. I used to represent a client in Boulder and went running with the CEO who lives out there. He kicked my ASS because of the altitude._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,590 #16 July 7, 2007 How is your cycling? I haven't run for two years due to a problem with one foot. I had surgery on it two years ago, and it is no problem walking, but I'm screwed for distance running, so I do cycling. Here is a ride I did a few weeks ago: http://www.dim.com/~ryoder/century.gif The battery in the Garmin died 7 miles before the end of the ride. Distance was 101 miles. Note there were 6 laps around that loop in the middle. That is the Morgul-Bismark: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgul-Bismarck Oh, and I did it on a mountain bike. I started at 8am and finished at 6pm."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

ryoder 1,590 #18 July 7, 2007 QuoteThat's killer - Low avg heart rate - You're in shape! I had never done over 50 miles before, (and that was on flat terrain), so I was deliberately taking it easy to make sure I could finish it. When I'm doing my usual 30 mile rides around there I'm normally doing about 135bpm. That Northbound run can be dicey. There is NO berm, lots of traffic during rush hour, and it is steep enough that I'm often doing 45+ mph."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

ntrprnr 0 #19 July 7, 2007 I'd join you on one of those sometime. That'd be fun. I've GOT to start biking more. Biggest problem with the park is that they let cars in after 7am. Which means that if I want to bike the park, I've gotta get in around 5am. Which is... well, fucking early._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"
