The ironing is delicious.

I weigh 156 dude. That's the only reason it did not happen. It would interfere with my running too much for me to gain 30lbs.

Understood. Lessons have been learnt. Presumably from this day forth you will return to only issuing "challenges" to other H&F'ers that conform to your current training modality.

Wow. So loco switched to running just to avoid the shame of publicly welching on a fair bet. True cowardice is hard to find.

Great gif : thumb:

That gif is awesome. Lol. It's not over though, he just rolling to escape. He will come back with a flying ear bite!

Are you saying you want to nibble on Snitch’s ear?

12/17 new shoes two mile jog to break in
12/18 half marathon race

That's my taper week. Super weaksauce but my work has been going horribly last week. Total dumpster grease fire, most I ever lost. Luckily, on a 4way so teammates taking part of the punishment.

I think most people would skip the half marathon. That work is more important. That I only ran 20-25 miles a week. That I prepared basically only one week for the half marathon.

Sure, sure, sure. But my sister is more important to me than this other crap. She wants to go carb loading Saturday night and we meeting up with old college friends. Fun times, teammates can suck it.

Saw babyLoca for Valentine's day. I was such a donk when we met. I was intimidated by her 30000 Instagram followers and was a beta needy donk. Coach CoreyWayne helped immensely but I realized this last week she just a baby. Never had a Valentine's day. Was bullied in high school over a tape and went into a cave and hasn't had a boyfriend in three years. Plus all these beaners intimidated by the social media presence.

I started fessing up my life and screw ups. I am like half way and so far she has taken it all in. It's a beta thing to do but I want her to make an informed decision since I am much older. We moving forward at blazing speed, but I got to make sure I finish reading CoachCoreyWayne so I don't dumpster grease fire and maybe I should not tell all.

We hit the gym yesterday. She crushed it, I felt like a donk putting her on the Smith machine. Perfect depth, perfect form. She is online buddies with Jenn Selter and that's her ideal body goal. She a natural. Tiny waist. Apple Ass. Big boobs. Very sexual. Too good for me but she doesn't know better, her ex a total loser. I am a superstar compared to that guy so I think it's okay.

2/18 half marathon
13.1 miles 1:35

Solid time. I can't feel below my knees. I can't imagine holding this for 13 more miles. But basically I held EV's 2 mile time pace for 13 miles!! Kid got left in the dust.

Maybe I will do trip report.

Nice pace. Any pics?

Congrats, I think?

congrats, nice time. How did it go?

did you run in the shoes that you broke in on saturday? if yes, that was a terrible idea.

Nice work Loco!

What a hero. Now only if he actually had real prop bets going.

I went for an easy run the day before with the new Altra escalantes. They felt fantastic but I could not pull trigger. I had remained injury free the last two months with the ZoomFly. So I just went with old faithful.

I went off with the leaders of the pack. Just messing around. I had my first setback before the race, one of my Bluetooth blew up so I was only using left ear. As I stormed off at 6:50 a mile pace I realized my phone wasn't going to fit in my shorts pocket (my iPhone does). So I had to run the 13 miles with phone in hand, nobody faster than me did this. Lol, noob.

I mostly hit close to 7min pace for the first 7 miles. The guy with the best physique stuck on me and we were joined shortly by a very fit woman. The three of us ran together for three miles and they let me lead into the headwind. I could hear them yapping away behind me. When we turned and the headwind reversed, they took off. Bastards. Here they are leaving me behind


Around mile 5 I got an endorphins rush and caught up to them. By mile 7 I really thought I could hit 1:30, which would be sickening for old man who averages 20-25 miles a week.

I started feeling a blister in mile 7. By mile nine I was still good but pace was now 7:15. They got ahead of me for good at mile 9, but next to them I could see young kid slowing down. So that was my target


By 10.5 miles my legs started getting real heavy. By 11.5 miles no matter how hard I tried, I was at 8 min pace. I don't know what hitting the wall is, but something was happening. My Bluetooth fell and splattered open at mile 12.5. I almost got a hamstring cramp picking it up. I slowed down a bit trying to unlock my phone and use speaker music. My right calf started cramping but there was only .5 miles left. I went for a last minute surge and finished 12/200. I was first in my age group and third overall masters. I ran a positive split but I planned it that way.

Also had heart rate malfunction and just went with all heart. If anything, I went too balls out. With heart rate data I have, it looks like I averaged 164. That's too high but overall I have zero regrets about my effort. Very happy with the time, if I can hold that same pace for a full marathon I basically qualify for Boston.

We will see what's next. I have lots of pictures but my sister is in all of them. Sucks to run with a phone, but short shorts were a success. Solid quads and shoulders oozing out of my outfit.

Truly terrifying

thanks for the race report and impressive time, especially with the low weekly mileage. 3min positive split isn't too bad...

if you really want to BQ, there's probably no alternative to increasing the mileage, but i think you know that.

Congrats loco!

These work great:

Running belt

Thanks guys.

That's what I meant regarding slamming my head against a wall squat comment. After two years of powerlifting, if I would have done a meet I would have placed last. But yesterday if I had run my meat and potatoes (5k or mile run), I would have come in first in the Masters. And out of the hundreds of people that ran yesterday, there is no one in any group that trained less and ran faster then me. Zero.

That sure makes it a lot more fun. Just sux that I will keep looking worse and worse the more I pursue it. I think my new girl will dump me at 149. Even my sister said her jacked Ex looked like shiet when he prepped for a marathon. Stringy.
