Au revoir Tumblr
This will likely be my last post in tumblr -- at least for my running blog. It's become somewhat obvious I'm not part of their core target demographic and I'm finding increasingly difficult to not get annoyed by the majority of the re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-blogged motivational crap and food shots. To the few friends I usually interacted with: thanks for your words and hope you keep on running and kick some ass on races. So long and thanks for all the fish!
Then & Now
[original]
My alma matter, ftw!
Running seems like a great idea until you actually start running
And when you finish running it turns out to be the best idea you ever had
It was the opposite for me. I thought running was a perfect waste of energy (I had mostly done team sports till then). Then I started running and it kicked my ass after a mere 5K. Since that time it has become a big part of my life and I have discovered how amazing, challenging, inspiring and positive influence running can be. I would not describe running as 'fun' or 'enjoyable' at first, though. And it's a sport that requires a LOT of patience, perseverance and dedication. It's greatly rewarding at a personal level and greatly advantageous to your health, but like everything in life, it has "price" you have to be willing to pay.
This is what running in the 80's looked like. 'stashes and tucked-in shirts ftw. Jeff Galloway is in this group :)

ProTip
Here's a ProTip for all fitblrs, runblrs out there: instead of spending ungodly amounts of time retumbling crap about how to be healthy and salad photos how about you get away from tumblr, lace up and get it done? Post results.
The Department of Miniature Marvels is thrilled to discover that they can add gardening to their list of work-related hobbies. A recent trend in Japan has people raising itty-bitty bonsai plants less than 3cm in height. Called cho-mini bonsai, or ultra-small bonsai, they’re the perfect green hobby for people who don’t have much gardening space or simply love exquisitely teeny-tiny things. The completely kawaii pots, wee gardening supplies and mini display shelves that are made for cultivating cho-mini bonsai are almost as awesome as the tiny plants and trees themselves.

The Muhammad Ali Diet ...
Muhammad Ali said he didn't start counting reps until it starts hurting. I'm thinking applying the same logic to my junk food intake.

Can't stop. Won't stop.
No such thing
There's no such a thing as a bad run. There are rough runs, there are painful runs, there are disappointing runs, there are runs you rather not think about, but there is no such a thing as a bad run. The only bad run is the one you didn't lace up and made excuses for.
Autumn Run Schedule (so far)
So, so far it's shaping up like a nice and busy fall running season for yours truly.
* Chicago Marathon (mid October)
* WDW Wine & Dine 1/2 (early November)
* Tom Walker Memorial 1/2 (late November)
* Space Coast Marathon (Early December)
How is your fall running season looking like?
Chicago, you shall be run this fall. Best email ever: it made my day :)
24+ mile weekend, 36+ mile week. Felt pretty good....pretty pretty pretty good.
Personal project: Boston
I'm one of those people who thrive amidst challenges and goals. My running goals for this year were laid last year and I *should* be able to meet them (Goofy Challenge, of course, being the most demanding). However, that's only part of a journey to more challenging and demanding goals. To that end I have set my mind on time-qualifying for the Boston Marathon, which means finishing a full marathon in under 3:10 (26.2 miles @ ~7:00/mile). I have not set a date because being an "adult onset runner" (i.e. didn't start running till I was an ol' fart) it will take substantial effort and physical conditioning that only time, discipline and patience can build. My mind and heart are set; body will follow, in time.
Gate River Run -- Done
It was a fantastic experience. It's becoming obvious that I enjoy running in crowds. In spite of living relatively close to it, I had never toured Downtown Jacksonville and its vicinity, so that was a treat. Weather was excellent, road-side entertainment and aid was fantastic. It was fairly well organized although I got the sense the organizers were thin on volunteers, at least at the Expo.
As for the race, I ran well for the first 8 miles. Steady peace, no issues. However, shortly after mile marker 8, a crippling, super acute pain around the liver area side-lined me for couple minutes. It's not a negotiable pain I can run with. It's super intense. I struggle to the finish line and managed to save placing in the top 25% of my age group with a total time of 1:18:36.
That said I will not run any more races until I can see a doctor about that liver-area pain which was both disconcerting and frightening.
when did “entry level” become “requires 3-5 years work experience”?
They mean salary level, not experience.
Gate River Run
Got the Gate River Run 15K this saturday and have not ran in about a week due to a nasty head cold. I can barely breathe, let alone run. Hope to get over that in the next couple days so that I can at least have a 10M practice run before Saturday.
