My 5k PR was 20 minutes something in high school, but I always quit training in the winter because running in ice and snow sucks, and treadmills also suck. Also I'm kind of lazy. I'd be proud of myself if I could hop off the couch right now and do sub 30.

I always envied those people who could not run all year and just do 22min off the couch.

If I missed a week I dropped like 4 min on my time. Also every step was facking painful. Running never became easy, my times just got better.
um...it's 180m shorter than 5k

I got a email from Guardia the other day, they are hiring like crazy right now if you feel the need to go to iraq
Congrats to you sister. So she's in the big suck right now in Quantico?

I wonder what's going on in Iraq. Would definitely not want to be anywhere in the middle east again ever.

lol your MOS isn't secret especially if no one knows who you are and particularly if you haven't even obtained one yet.

Grunt, Comm, Log, Suppo, air, Int. Going by odds alone she will be one of the first 3.

Not to get into any of the classified details, but I was the intel analyst who told a 3-star general that ISIS probably couldn't hold Mosul without losing Fallujah. I kept my credibility because I'd said "probably" and because I told her I was wrong before anyone else did and explained why.
The documentaries said the Luftwaffe told Hitler they could supply the trapped army in Stalingrad via the air. I wonder who had to deliver the explanation.

U R all amazing people. Even though I'm nearly as lean as FW, I think I could get 23&change min 5k years ago.

also interested to see Texas, which is on the verge of turning purple. if Texas ever turns blue for a period of time, Republicans might actually agree on removing the Electoral College. Dems would start most elections in the mid 200s, probably 2:1 starting positions in favor of Dems. their path to the presidency would be almost impossible to lose every cycle.

Since PA is doing a mail in ballots for the first time and they aren't counting them until polls close, early PA results will probably favor Trump whereas it may take a few days to get a proper tally and a more complete picture. Add in legal challenges aiming to prevent counting mail ballots favoring Biden and this means that if the election really boils down to PA, it might be a shitshow.

FL by contrast counts absentee ballots in advance so it's likely that by 9-10 pm we will have a full picture for the state. This means that regardless of who wins, we will have an idea of who's overperforming and underperforming their polls - although the diverse latino population of the state might behave differently than the blue collar whites in the crucial midwestern states.

I think GA and NC will also be out of the gate with results relatively early in the night.

Overall, we ve reached a point in which it's either an easy Biden win or a close one with a possible legal cluster**** in play. In one likely scenario, the winner is determined by 10 pm Tuesday, but in another likely scenario, the winner isn't determined for weeks.

What years were your here / where did you hang? It’s been a long time since I went out, but used to be young enough to stay awake past 10pm, I kick it at Front Page / Buffalo Billiards / Big Hunt in DuPont or Dans Cafe / Grand Central and whatever bar was at the end before Dans with karaoke downstairs.

5k - I am trying to motivate myself to go sub 18 but it’s very limited. No clue what I can do today but guessing it’s above 20 min.

Peak was just north of 15 min 13 years ago. Weight at the time was around 125-130. Current weight is 161. I drink, smoke and occasionally exercise. I ran 1x in the last 2.5 weeks. Have a bad back (herniated disc) and partially torn meniscus.

Only way I think I take it seriously is with something on the line. Maybe some skin in the game...

Interested to hear lines if anyone is looking to wager. Based on where I am today from a fitness and health perspective, I’d ask for 6 months of training to get there.

From my own experience trying to get props for motivation on a physical challenge, it’s almost impossible to get fair odds from people

I have no clue what a fair line would even be.

I also don’t want a lot of action. Just enough where I want to take on the challenge of getting in better shape using a number that I understand in 18 min 5k.
