Man, those shoes have seen some milage t2b. I only wish I could run without inserts, unfortunately plantar fasciitis means that I need to always have good support.

Great to hear your wife is thinking marathons. I'm sure she'll become addicted to them before too long.

Edit: just realised I'm a page behind.

Haven't been to the gym in over a week because I'm studying for exams, feelin laaaaaazy

I've been to the gym three of the last four days with a heavy day yesterday. Looking forward to a rest day today.

I run in shoes until they fall to pieces. They only have about 600 miles on them. They're not even broken in yet.

I put about 1,500 miles on these:

Was on pace to shatter my best treadmill 5k time and the thing powers down at 2.9 miles. Must have been some kind of old lady treadmill

I can wear shoes a long time without them starting to bother me, I usually buy new when they start looking shabby or the color fades/gets dirty though. Style is important, friend.

There's no room for style in ultrarunning. It's all just a mixture of spit, shit and blood after 50 miles.

Good point

10 miles in 69 minutes

Ended up taking a day off from running on Tuesday because I had far too much to drink the night before. But it was for good reason as today marks 10 weeks until my race and alcohol is now off the table. I needed to booze it up one final time.

I hit the canal this morning feeling a bit heavy and I never seemed to find my stride. Kinda felt awkward the entire time, but I have put in enough mileage over the past month or so that I can pretty much sleepwalk a 70-minute 10-miler. 35 out. 34 back with the world's worst finishing kick. Blah.

Time to kick it into gear. After a summer with lots of cardio and lots of drinking, time to get in real shape. Back to the gym three times a week and swimming four or five times a week on top of my daily biking. Two of those bike rides are now hour plus mtn bike rides at night. Hopefully by Christmas time I'll be looking good.

Mtn biking at night is sick. It takes so much concentration and the risk factor is off the charts. But the feeling when I get home is amazing. Soaked with sweat, a little mud, always a little blood and a smile from ear to ear.

Nothing gets me moving faster than the sight (and sometimes taste) of my own blood.
