I saw that pic on rickeys site. Wish we could see the bib # so we could crack the case! I hadn't even thought of that! Man, with a bib number we could get more hilarious race photos too. I showed that to picture to my gf and she said "man, it's like a fat Tony Krupicka" #nailedit
what the internet backtrace do doe.

I can't even touch the mileage in here, but I'm pleased to say that I can crank out a couple of 5k's a week without much drama (knock on wood). 5 min walk warmup and 5 min walk cooldown plus post-run stretch and foam roll.
So much easier to do in the cold than cycling. I can sweat balls in mid-30 degree weather where I'd be miserable on the bike. Hoping I can keep it up.
Might add swimming to the mix, too. Town indoor pool is $75 for a 3-month membership.

In this case, slow and steady might actually win the race
I'm doing 10.5-11min/miles (that's with little walking breaks every few minutes tho). If I get to a point where I'm doing low-10/high 9 min/miles, I'll be pretty happy.
Looks like Thanksgiving is going to be sunny (plenty of time for that to change). I ran last Thanksgiving morning and it was awesome smelling the turkeys, fireplaces and leaves. I want to experience that again this year.

I've heard of Zach Miller, guys a beast (obviously)! I'll write up a more detailed report now but cliff's notes: - So much oxygen at 500'! I wasn't breathing heavily the whole day. - This off and on lung pain came back at on Friday morning so at the start of the race deep breaths really hurt, by the end of the day even shallow breathing hurt. My mom suspects walking pneumonia (it's been 3.5 weeks now) and I'll probably be going to the doctor when I get back to Colorado next week. - No issues with the cyst, hydration or nutrition - great news! - Met some great people, including a man finishing his 15th JFK out there. - Normal soreness this morning but overall feel great - about to get brunch and put down 2,000 calories! Final result: 9:40:47 and 318th out of 838(?) Funny bit: I got to the race start just as the gun went off so I was at the very back of the pack and it took 48 seconds to get to the starting line. So start to finish running time was 9:39:59 haha And I had fantastic crew and support all day - seriously, they were awesome. And my girlfriend paced 35 miles and now appreciates how different that is from running a marathon
Good job man! I heard it was pretty windy and cold out there. Way to hang in despite the issues, hope you get it figured out.

Congrats guys on finishing - and great times too!
Managed to crank out an 18 miler last Friday. My longest to date. All on a treadmill. Some guy passed by a couple hours later gawking, "you're still here??"

You're running 13-14 hours a week? Damn. What were you running before? I hope you took your time ramping up to that.
No not just running, its a combination of running,biking, swimming and a little strength training.

Geez - that's an unbelievable group run! Take pictures like a nerd and report back!
My buddy Jeff, from Leadville/Ironman fame, lives in San Francisco now and I'd tell him about this but I know he wouldn't give two shits. We're quite opposite in that respect. He knows nothing about the elite runners in the sport or what races are when. He just enjoys running most days and when he gets an itch he'll find a calendar and register for a race 6 months out, train for it, and do it. Doesn't read iRunFar, doesn't follow any sort of news, etc.
And amps, we were both off on the Western States lottery ticket count!
http://www.wser.org/lottery2014.html
2,715 entrants with 4,316 tickets. 1,700+ people with 1 ticket and only 561 with 2 tickets (I was surprised by this).
6.4% odds with one ticket, roughly 12.5% with two. Eek.
