Of Mice and Marathons

That had to be an awesome race to wash. I like to watch guys events, but there's just something about watching a female field crush any dream of a race time I ever had.

Looks like you're getting rid of a lot of calories. It's amazing how easy it is to consume them with any beer/wine, etc.. I'm working on getting lighter, too. Finally started posting my weight again yesterday. This is the part they don't tell you about when you start running.

I'll likely spend my life chasing that kind of time and never get there. She just dominated.

Yes. My lesson of the day: cutting out calories doesn't necessarily lead to weight loss (and since December I have been counting and cutting). But I feel better, so at least there's that. I am hoping it is muscle loss because I haven't but need to get back to core work and strength stuff.

I have peaked at Matt Fitzgerald's stuff a little bit and I think he has some good advice.

That's a dominating performance from Erin Finn. She broke the Big 10 record by almost 30 seconds. In the Big 12 Champs last night, the guy who won the 10K lapped the field after only NINE laps!

It was awesome to see even if it was in the mid-40s with rain. She kept giving her coach the thumbs up to signal that she was fine. I kept looking for sign of "oh, crap!" but she was upright at the end.

You could see the pace in her legs. Much better hip extension, high knees, etc. There were a few shufflers in there!

Just checked on the Big 12. Nobody under 30 except for the winner under 29. I like running because there's no mercy rule. It's gentlemenly but nothing says you can't give someone a good trouncing. I am rarely on the giving end of it, but I've done it :-)
