It got me to thinking about words or phrases that you don't wnat to hear if you running a marathon.
- Temps below normal
- Gusting up to......
- Cancel those outdoor plans
- If you're a duck...
- July like temps...
- Unusually cold..
Peace...........

1) Tigers - Those damn baseball games are really cutting into my sleep! How can a 4:00 PM game go until almost midnight????
2) The Freep - This is the Detroit Free Press Marathon weekend and people are getting psyched! People are coming from far away places like Cleveland and even Florida! Who would leave Florida to run 13.1 miles in the Motor City?
3) It's getting dark! It's dark in the morning and it dark when I get home from work! Is this happening across the entire country????

Am I a 'Couch potato' for watching Ironman Hawaii and the Chicago marathon this weekend?
Why don't the elite runners do a cool-down????
I'm debating if I should hand out BEvERages at Mile 24 of the Detroit marathon or support runners by running?
How many of you actually think about going faster in the middle or later portion of a race?
Do you have a local competitor that you always race against?
Have you ever been in a race and found yourself near runners you knew were faster than you and you said WTF????
Are you ready for some marathons?

Happy Friday Eve!
1) We had a great time at the track yesterday and no one died! Since most of the group are training for shorter races we ran 200s and they killed them. It's amazing how much pain can come from 200 meters.
2) Sandy is going to be in Chicago this weekend taking the TNT folks to their hopefully not hot event! If the weather Gods always choose Chicago to be warm, they should have a marathon every weekend.
3) I'll be spending the weekend getting out winter stuff and putting away summer stuff Time for the neon colors to shine!

From reading a lot of Blogs out there in the Blogesphere, there seems to be a lot of advancement in everyone running, biking,swimming careers. So the question that I pose today is 'when did you come to the realization that you were there?'
You had reached a point when it was fun and you knew this is what you wanted to do.
When did it hit you that you might just be good at this?
When did you feel like you were one of the community?
Just wondering.............
Peace

Oh that's right, I was suppose to be swimming.........
As you can see I can get distracted easily.......
Okay, the swimming thing isn't happening as I had hoped it would have. so I packed the bike shoes and shorts to get my spin on.
I haven't been consistent with the bike in quite some time, so I'm not sure what to expect. I just want to get my heart rate up for an hour......
I hate wind!
It messes up my hair!
It moves my neighbor's leaves into my yard!
It makes running into it no fun.
I thought about missing out on two hours of sleep and going to cheer at the Brooksie Way 1/2 marathon, but then I knew Monday morning was just around hte corner.
So after two cups of coffee, I jumped outside with gloves, long-sleeved and short-sleeved T-shirts on.
Why do we forget about running in wind and cold? Oh, that's right because it was over a year age!
Thank you Mr. Robert A. Bruce for having the idea of advancing the treadmill!
