Dub Duce Dub

Well, as Robert once wisely said, "There's nothing like a good woods to water." Great running and dub duce dubbing all around. From Rock Pine on to the Ice Arena the Slab City crew was solid. Half-ish our team was doing it for the first time- yet there were no rookie mistakes. Well except that our official beer drinker officially left all of her beer in Cable. Otherwise though it was just great. We didn't lose to that team in tights. We didn't break the van. We found a campsite. We ate lots of brats. We danced around. It rained but the weather was still nice. There was a completely unnecessary blind hand-off. Ahhh, what a great event.

I am adding five more colors/but

May 5-11

Six runs (M, T, W, R, Sa, Su), three at 60min, three at 30min. Kind of a momentous week around these parts. Hit the hour mark, painfully, for the first time in about nine months on Monday. On Saturday I managed to hit the hour avec HDLN with a perfectly timed arb romp. We saw the elusive Turkey, but it chased us from its trail. Also toed the line at the TC One Mile for my first race since City of Lakes, and I doubt I've ever been happier to run 5:28. Spent the first half-mile sitting on Jessica, terrified my stomach might explode, and waiting for the quarter-mile marker. Saw the 800m split, remembered the mile is short and that oftentimes heads explode before stomaches. Then I sped-up. In all non-psychological respects, the effort was pretty easy. Plus the race turned into a real solid outing for SCRC. Slabbaj Shout-Outs to the seven man squad!

looking at myself in the same dirty mirror


I just thought I'd add some multimedia to this nutrition discussion. Yes, that is andy d. 4th, I think, in the 5k.

Today: 43 minutes in the morning. brother of (flap)jack.
47 minutes in the night. father of jack(son).
total: who knows. 13 maybe?

This is noooooot a test

April 28 - May 4

Five runs (M, T, W, Sa, Su). Two were 50min, two were 30min, and one failed to satisfy my moral quota. Nevertheless, they were. And that is what I was aiming for. Monday's 50min was particularly buoyant, causing me to suspect that the fitness turkey might be caffeinated. Heather, will chasing turkeys - metaphorical and otherwise - be involved in the punishments you administer?
