Barkley weekend is upon us.

No finishers. Only one started loop 4. 3 or 4 completed the 3 loop fun run. Sounds like the weather was brutal again.

After all that shit-talking earlier this week, Dev finished 7th.

What a loser.

You were the one who started shit by accusing me of faking my stats. You're the loser and you know that.

What a loser.

Sad you want to pile on, Joey.

Pile on?

Whatever, champ. I was just laughing at a joke.

Jamil got another fun run.

Decent run today. A bit colder than expected but still nice enough outside. I ran the first 3.4 miles with my wife, which is why my pace was slower than usual for the first 4 miles. But the second 4 felt great. Good pace (nice consistency), good breath, legs felt good. I know it's more flat and/or downhill on that last mile, but it always feels good to end strong and fast.

I think I'm just going to sign up for a 10k later in the summer. This one's not happening. Sorry guys.

I'm officially calling my $22 Teslas a "Best Buy."

I bought another pair and will probably buy several more.

Strava has been taking forever to upload my runs

[run2death]

Damn, verb. Tonight's run was killer.

Everybody's getting faster in this motherfucker.

[verb_to_trust]

I'm trying to mix in some pace runs now that the conditions are more optimal.

Did anyone every get that Patagonia shirt in the header?

[run2death]

No. Nobody made it to 365 days.

I made it to 118 days before getting Valley Fever.

And oasisfan35 made it to 135.

[run2death]

That reminds me, anyone want to start a streak?

We could just do 100 days or something. That would motivate me to get through another brutal AZ summer.

A streak challenge is what I need to get motivated, but I’m always hesitant to run two days in a row. How do you daily runners recover?

[run2death]

In general, the human body will adjust to the punishment you hand it and recover accordingly.

Also, I would cheat the system (but not in a Dev way) occasionally and run early in the morning one day, then really late the next.

You can actually get like a 40-hour break that way.

I don't recover. My hip bursitis has been bothering me for weeks and weeks now. I don't think I can do a streak. I need that off day I take. I already suspect going 6 days a week has been at least part of my problem.

I am due to start running again...
