Russian champion tries Crocs, commits to racing a marathon in them
Nikolay Chavkin in the video below did 3x1000,
first two in Adidas carbon-fiber models, the last one in Crocs. Surprised by the result (2:52, 2:52, 2:50) with
the fastest interval done in Crocs, he committed to racing a marathon in Crocs if the video gets 42K likes and
195 comments (for 42 km 195 m, the marathon distance). Nikolay's current marathon PR is 2:14:00. The video
was created by a Russian sporting goods store chain. Their moto is
"more sports - brighter life", which we think is wonderful, and also deserves a Like. If you want to see a fast marathon in Crocs, go to the video and click the Like button. And make sure to share it with your friends.

Took several days off last week to get over an illness. HR responding a bit better today. Still feel tired around the 30 minute mark, but can trudge through it now.

Took a longer lunch for this run. Felt solid first 45 minutes and then HR dropped quickly after running a long downhill. Didn't bounce back after that so had to shuffle the rest.
Strength training after work.

| 7.2 miles during lunch. Still having HR and fatigue issues around the 40-45 minute point forcing me to slowdown and walk sometimes. Sucks. Might cut back all runs to 40 minutes until I go back to see the specialist.
