5.4 miles in 45:30 tonight. Best time.

I've been working on a prototype for a running diaper for a few years now.

Maybe you'd like to be a wear-tester?

Hope you are joking.

[Dev]

Got the shits around mile 6 tonight

You are a mess.

You are a mess.

I was. Quite literally.

Going up north again this weekend. Didn't see a single living creature last time I ran up there, but I'm still anxious about bears.

Where are you talking about?

Did some swimming today to help deal with the shin splints. Felt good, but I haven't done non-recreational swimming in long time.

Fuck me, it's like starting the couch to 5k all over again. I found muscles that I think I haven't used in years.

It's amazing how quickly swimming transforms your body.

I've always had the upper-body strength of a 12-year-old girl and the wimpy "runner's chest" to match. Then I started Ironman training and quickly got pecs, triceps and lats. From the waist up I was a different person in just a month with 3 swims a week.

Unfortunately, I hated every second of it.

I'm happy to never do a tri again and retain my junior high chest and arms.

Hayward, WI area.

10 miles in 74 minutes.

Rough run. Probably my slowest 10-miler in about a year and a half. Got hammered last night and ate about 40 chicken wings.

Swimming is pure pain. I'm a certified lifeguard and I hate it.

Half marathon route in 1:36.

Got out late (already 95 degrees) and felt like total dog shit the whole way.

[verb_to_trust]

Third straight week I bested my half time. Down a Powerade too fast after the run and almost puked. 26 miles still seems unrealistic. Vacation starts tomorrow hopefully I get the miles in.

[Dev]

gonna go running in the heat before a night shift. pretty depressed about it.

[run2death]

10 on the treadmill today.

Gym was empty, so I farted a lot.

[Dev]

5.4 miles in 45:50. I puked a little today. It was too hot. Can't let it slow you down though.

[run2death]

Lots of shit and puke on the last couple of pages.

This running stuff is making us healthy, right?

[Dev]

I think so.

[Dev]

I just always eat too much so I sometimes get some indigestion. It's no biggie.

[run2death]

10 in 74 minutes. Got out late again (95 degrees) and suffered.

Still, ran all four days of my July 4th vacation.

Think I'm settled on doing the 12-hour race instead of the half mary now.
