Chapter Two!!!!!!!!!

May 3

12.5, 1:17:53(workout): 2mi WU, 3x1600m @ T, 90s R (5:29, 5:26, 5:23), 6.5mi @ 6:00 pace, 1+ CD. Solid workout, especially considering windy conditions. Had planned another couple tempo miles and two more threshold miles but hamstring seized a bit down on river road. Too bad, because I was on ab-so-lute cruise control. Feeling stronger of late, which is a nice change from weak and stupid. CAQ: "I don't offer happiness?!? I offer happiness! James Caan doesn't offer happiness!"

Churchie,

Thanks again for the stats. You are good at tabulating stats. You look back at your training log and know the thing by heart more than anyone I know.

You should consider reporting your stats a little differently. As I was running yesterday morning it occurred to me that although you fell short of the 30 hour mark you ran quite a number of those miles fast!. If you would use the Badger miles theory (7 minutes equals a mile) you would report the same time running, but significantly fewer miles. Though you lust for Madison (and a former Badger named Katie?), you might be described as an un-badger or a inverse-badger given your affilation with a far less ferocious rodent mascot. Thereby, it would be in your nature to try to pump your stats by reporting your hours run in reverse badger miles. This formula would take the actual miles run and multiply by 7 minutes so as to come up with a new run time equivalent. My guess is that you easily ran 31.5 hours in April using this reporting scheme. Congratulations on a month well run. Sounds like you'll be killer in a month.

Numbers don't lie, but they can bend the truth.
