Ran 6.25 miles this morning. First half was up the canyon with a stiff wind in my face. I should get extra credit for that.

I agree. Go ahead and round that up to 6.30 miles. You earned it!

Fine, as long as you deduct a comparable amount for the wind-aided downhill return. In contrast, I am vexed by winds that invariably shift so that I'm pedaling into a constant headwind; you don't hear me whining, much.

You mean I'm not the only one this happens to?

Whatever. He ran the other half downhill with the wind at his back. I thing he should have to round down to 6.

You shouldn't follow other runners so closely, Jeff.

I think I want in on this...

What do I do? Do I have to pick a team? Because I do more on a bike than my 1 mile of running three days a week will probably do.

And this will keep me on task, as I am typically motivated by commitments but not by much else.

It was uphill both ways. I swear.

Just pick a team, whatever activity you do counts toward your team.

I'm not trying to influence your decision, but please know that the runner's team is full of God-fearing family types who love freedom. The cyclers team is full of criminals and whores. I trust you to do the right thing.

The cyclists, meanwhile, are out racking up the miles that will contribute to their inevitable victory. Type away.

[The_Tick]

I am in. Put me with the Gods fearing runners.

I guess credit of a kind is due any time a man perseveres despite the presence of anything stiff in his face.

By the way, whoever I need to say this to: PLEASE SIGN ME UP WITH THE RUNNERS.

It was 110 degrees today, no way I'm running. I'm going to have to go way early in the morning to avoid heatstroke. I don't know how some of you (I'm talking to you Arch) desert dwellers can exercise in these temps. We only get them a couple of weeks at a time and then get back to just regular old hot weather.

July 17

Ran at Echo Park again. Went much earlier in the day. I way prefer running at night, at or well after sunset:



Faith: 5 miles (Garmin worn)
Robin: 3.6 miles (4 laps @ .9 miles/lap, Garmin confirmed)

My wife decided to bail out and me and go to a movie with her sisters, so I went running at 9:30 tonight. It was still pretty warm, but tolerable. I got a really good 4 miler in for my training program, then did a slow 1 mile cooldown. Total of 5.10 miles.

Who the heck is Bellavella and which runner is going to break this person's knee caps?

I know some people who know some people. Tomorrow will be a telling sign. Who exercises on the sabbath?
