look up jefferson squat.

 

they remind me of gooch toweldrying

 

lol! I can't do those with a straight face

 

Meh. Im married so not really

ran a mile for time yesterday at a local track, 6:36... same as last week. I was expecting to be slower but it was exactly the same. I really want to get to 6 even.

 

Lowest I've ever gotten to was 6:43 and I was sick. I really hate running even though I play two really running intensive sports.

 

I use to hate it untill I discovered trail running. I cant afford a trail rig so I either mtn bike or just run...haha

 

I've ran just at a 6min mile before, and two miles in 12:30ish range. Too long for my taste. I like to keep my sprints in the 400m and under range. Doing those mile sprints makes me want to die. Not a, "That was a good workout" die, but more of a, "My whole body hurts, and death seems like an easy escape." die.

 

i haven't ran in years, i don't think my body knows how to run anymore. i skip sometimes when im drunk.

 

I do not like running at all. I get this same feeling. Lungs burn like hell.

 

nice!

my last timed two mile was 12:12....when I was cardio focused. hoping to get it back down to that before the races

im not sure where I'm at right now.....

 

Yea, I felt like puking last night. and my left calf is really damn sore today.

Ive always heard "to run faster, you need to run faster". So in order to lower my 5k and 10k times Im trying to get my mile time down and hoping it will carry over.

 

x2
hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping


haha

 

When are your spartans?

 

mid august, so I have some time to get some miles in

so stoked, but so scared at the same time. lol

 

I bet. Thats a lot of miles in two days!

That's the truth. I used to run with a guy, and those were his exact words. To run faster you need to run fast. When I started running I was dying to pull off a ten minute mile. I worked out but all I did was the typical body build thing. I needed to get my PT score to a 300 though for a course, so I started running with him. We did 400 and 800m repeats mostly. After about six to eight months I got down to my sub seven minute pace. The guy knew his running. He goes by Lion Caldwell, Google him, world record holder in the ultra marathons back in his day. Those ultra guys are a different breed.
