Some of the events are run in February but the good stuff is done in July. This is the kind of stuff that I like. Google & youtube have alot of info on this.

I just got a e-mail that the "Furnace 5K" will be run as the "Liquidator 5K" with only a $20.00 entrance fee. This is good news. The race is on August 12th.

Didn't go to the gym today Friday is the last day of my free membership. To join it's $564.00 a year. Instead I did a hard run at the LaFortune Trail, I have a race coming up August 12th and need to work on my pace & speed. Old age can really get ya down for sure. I wonder what's preventing me from running at an 7.5 pace- I did it before same body, same legs, same heart & same lungs only difference is 40 years is added to the body.

Kraut I know you run year round. You should drink water if you're going to run in 100 degree heat. My mechanic friend saved his co workers azz today.

I didn't go to the gym today, too much traffic out that way, Tomorrow my gym membership expires anyhoo. I decided to do a run on the Riverside Trail instead, did pretty good increased my pace. Temp was near 38*C or about 100*F, trail was pretty busy, after the run I jumped into a splash pad they have there to cool down and rinse off the sweat.

Kraut I know you run year round. You should drink water if you're going to run in 100 degree heat. My mechanic friend saved his co workers azz today. I always drink alot of fluid before and after a run. Actually I don't run in winter or when it's cold, unless it's a warm day in winter then I sneak in a quick run. I can't handle cold weather my lungs don't work, my legs go stiff like boards & get red, I can't get loose, I don't like running in long pants and a jacket either. Some runners can handle the cold or like running in the cold-- when it's below freezing I see people running on the trails. I'm strictly hot weather only when it comes to running, I run shirtless in the heat so the sweat can just dump off. Running is a fun sport I encourage everyone to at least try it, and as a bonus it's healthy- not many runners get strokes or heart attacks. If running was no fun I would not be doing it trust me. That reminds me outside the gym they have a plaque honoring some guy who ran 25 marathons, he was a member of the gym anyhoo he died running the Mountain Marathon, I guess he just collapsed during the race. He died doing what he enjoyed doing. I don't like to see- or hear about things like that happening to runners, I like to think runners are immune from heart attacks, it is rare he may of had a un-diagnosed heart problem. Jim Fixx was a runner who had a bad family history of heart disease, but he out lived his dad by many years no doubt his running extended his life. |
