bad camera angle and not the right light. her legs are still pretty muscular. her goal after the marathon is going to be short distance speed events, which means heavier squatting and more power cleaning, so they will probably get even more muscular.

Not sure how you missed the event either - it's one of the biggest road racing events in Tempe. I worked with the organizers the whole week leading up to it, doing packet pickups and late registrations and supervising the volunteers over at Runner's Den. It was a blast.

There are a ton of other racing events coming up - go check out www.getsetaz.com

I was looking at the LTF Reindeer run again this year...

I could wear a santa suit...
Maybe Pfunk can be a reindeer

I like how Bud Light was there sponsoring the event, nothing like running a marathon and then getting hammered....

Can you autograph a paper for me LOL

Even when i was a fatty, and did my one healthy deed of the year by running (at a snail's pace) the miami corporate run every year... i always thought the whole beer thing at such an event was/is RIDICULOUS.

First of all - it' s 5K, second of all, it's not even quality carbs. Nothing like negating a nice healthy thing like running, with something so ANTI-healthy like beer!

What is LTF Reindeer Run? Where is that? Does it have another name?

The next two events I'm doing are the ARR thanksgiving 8K at the peoria sports complex and the ryka iron girl 10-miler.

There are a few others I was thinking about, like the candelaria run in cave creek and the resolution run (i think it's on new year's eve or new year's day).

Did you ever run in the NYC marathon? I forgets.

no. i wasn't into running until this spring, and definitely not into marathon-length running until jodi put the idea in my head. now i'm hooked. Maybe next year!

I'm doing the arizona Rock N Roll marathon in january - that's my 26.2 debut.

To be honest, after all this distance training, I've come to realize that while it's pretty cool to run all those extra long distances, and it's definitely pretty cool to be able to eat twice what i was eating before, i don't like running for 3-4 hours. I like the short fast distances, so after this marathon is over, i will be training for mid-distance races. Heck i might even do some track and field stuff. there is an "Open" class/category and my running coaches have encouraged me to give it a try - 1-mile, 800 meters, etc. short and fast.

could be fun.

but first, the marathon!

Good stuff GG, and good luck on the marathon.

What was your time in the 5K?

Thanks CP... my time was dismal on the 5K, even though it was my PR! hahahaa: 25:20.

To my credit, i wasn't really RACING racing... it was supposed to be a training run, and half way through i was like, "ah, fuck it... " and then started racing. hahaha!

OH.. LTF -- Life time fitness...

Thing is that one lands on a long-run weekend for me. the other two i have scheduled are on my cutback weeks, so I choose to run races rather than my shorter distances those weekends... but if it's a long run, i have to do that instead.

Can't wait - all this running is killing my squatting strength. I feel like a wimp. A shell of what I once was in the squat rack. Hahahaha!

not really. you are still maintaining your strength. You are just tired when you go to squat. But, doing 135 for 10 today, even though it was hard, is still a normal weight for you.
