NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Newport Beach, CA. In the area for work and had to stop by my old stomping grounds. Nothing like sand between the toes and some good ole vitamin d absorption. Damn I miss it here.

 

Back in area after a 3 year hiatus!!!! anyone going on any runs sometime soon?? my tacoma needs to make new friends.

 

Welcome back!

 

I moved up here from Aliso Viejo. Newport and Laguna was where I spent most weekends. I also miss it, jealous.

 

Streets of Seattle and the sounder train are a ghost town. If the commute was like this all the time I wouldn’t complain

 

Crazy.

Saw the truck this am man as you pulled into parking lot i was finishing my 5 mile run. You are a couple blocks from me.

 

Need 37’s

 

Was that during pt hours? Was it at mcveigh gym or by the motor pools? If motor pool that’s where we have Monday morning battalion formation. I actually work on the other side of the airfield off stryker

 

Sure it wasn't an EIB 4 mile run?

 

Yeah motor pool and i figured monday mopo formation was why. We had ours as well. Otherwise i would had stopped and said hi.

 

Not for me haha. 5 - 1/4 actually, just trying to build my mileage back up after my knee injury. Adding a mile every week until i get back to 10 and then work on speed to drop my times.

 

Welcome back! There is a monthly meet page that will usually have a post if there's a trail run going. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/march-2020-seattle-area-meet.651848/

 

My house needs a roof. But next year, next year man. You running 4.88's or what?

 

5.29’s waiting to be installed

 

ah righteous. I still see people debating about 4.88 or 4.56 for 35's and it's like the 10th thread I've seen on it. I thought TW had come to a final consensus on it by now.

 

Ugh damn roofs, mine is currently tar paper over plywood. Hopefully the weather holds and it will be finished today with a new solar tube in the living room.

Once I recover from the minor remodel I'm in the middle of I am hoping to get the truck back in shape and re-gear with 4.56s. I had debated back and forth but I think for me being a manual and the lower gears already being a bit lower combined with the amount of highway driving most of us around here have to do to get anywhere worth using 4x4, it makes more sense to go the slightly less aggressive route. I think the choice for anyone is going to depend on personal factors like that, or you could just do like @Usethe2nd and go full bananas with 5.29s

 

Whuddya doing to drop your time? I've been running 10-12 in prep for a half, but I'm stuck around 10:20-10:30 pace. I do a faster 9:30 pace for my 5-6m mile runs. That being said i'm 36 now, not the young paratrooper I was back at Ft. Lewis....you dirty nasty legs lol.

 

I haven't seen anyone recommend 4.56 for 35s. Most people (with weight) are going 5.29s for 35s.
