    Well, I was shooting for more like a 3:30, but we could atleast meet there and start together.
  4. But you have a great natural padding system!

    You absolutely wouldn't believe the women who flock to this stuff! It's such a joke! Every other woman I pass is carrying a "designer" handbag.

    Oh well then, I guess it is all worth it.

    Not Timex, sorry. Well of course it is knock off stuff, but it really is nice. Especially the purses. Besides, no one believes you are carrying a real Coach or Louie anyway, so you might as well save a ton of cash!

    I can get you Coach, Prada, Louie, Kate Spade, etc, for 20-40 bucks. Wallets, sunglasses, "7" jeans...

    I am playing with the idea of running my first marathon this fall. Wanna train and run the Philadelphia Marathon with me?

    A 40 minute 10k is great! My best is 39:20.

    I have to agree, the Gel Cumulus is probably the most comfortable shoe I have run in. Amazing cushioning for how light it is!

    I haven't tried the 2100s, but I see they are getting great reviews and Runners World just rated them the top shoe of 2005. I have a slight underpronation though and usually like a lightweight stability shoe leaning towards neutral cushioned. I see you are wearing the Garmin Forerunner too. I have one and absolutely LOVE it!
  14. Dude, you seriously picked the wrong thread for your soapbox, but I agree that we all have things we do that we could change. However, this is a thread about how disgusting it is to throw your butts on the ground and make them someone elses problem simply because you are too lazy to throw them out. Your comparison to rubberbands is ridiculous, and no matter how many things you point out that are even remotely similar, I will never say, "Ya know what? You are right. There is nothing wrong with people throwing their butts on the ground cuz ther are alot of things we all do that are wrong."

    I go through times where I do lose motivation, and that's when I take a step back. I think the key is to keep it fun. Don't start running with too many goals or preset distances or times. Just go for a "jog" and go at whatever pace you feel comfortable at. Look at it more as a chance to get out and enjoy the outdoors instead of just exercise or a way to lose weight or get in shape. I also find that reading Runner's World magazine helps. They have alot of good articles for motivation, training ad Q&A. Take it slow and enjoy your time running. I think it is when people view it as "Ah crap! I have to go exercise!" is when they have issues.

    I LOVE to run! One of my favorite things to do, but it can be hard work and probably don't look as if I am "enjoying" myself when I am running. But hard work is rewarding and can be enjoyable wheter it looks like it or not, especially how you feel after doing it and the benefits you get from it.

    Just curious who here are runners and a little about you if you are. Copy and paste the questions for your answers. How long have you been running? Over 12 years, with the degree of seriousness changing from time to time. Do you run competitively or just for health? 3 to 5 races a year. Most 10k. I usually run to train, but I love the way it makes me feel and the health benefits from it. What is your favorite distance? I like the 10k distance as a race and middle of the road for training. How many miles a week do you average? 15-20 right now, but much higher when training. What shoes do you run in? Asics Gel Cumulus. Love 'em! I like the DS Trainers too.
  19. Oh yeah, throwing broken bands on the floor of the dz packing area is totally the same thing.
  20. I was sitting at a traffic light the other day and was absolutely disgusted at the number of butts on the ground. I mean, we are talking thousands and thousands. Then I started paying attention to the butts all over the place and realized that the entire world is covered in them. It is absolutely disgusting and there is no excuse for it. I am so tired of the "Screw you, it's my right to smoke" attitude with most smokers. Yes, it is your right to smoke, but it is NOT your right to make others smell it, inhale it and deal with it, or to throw your nasty butts wherever you please.
  21. It's not worth that much work to me.
