Re: Any good tips for dropping my 3200 time?

guest — Sun, 07 May 2006 22:08:00 GMT

Bah, I always feel so embarrassed posting my times 'cause everyone else on this board (at least those who post) runs so much faster...

Mile - 6:04
2-mile splits - 7:02-7:10
PR 2 mile - 14:12

I did a pretty decent amount of distance running over the winter and I did XC...for track, we usually alternate between workouts and distance, and I almost always do a distance run on Sundays..

Also, can someone help me on getting my mile time into the 5s by the end of the season? I'm only 5 seconds off...

Let's see....

- I've gotten numerous calls/yells from random people in cars.
- I've had walkers say stuff.
- I've had a dog follow me from someone's house all the way down the street. It was cute, though...I just took it back up the street to it's owner. No harm done.
- My ankle was almost run over by a car. I was running at a crosswalk at a red light. The moron behind the wheel of the car wasn't paying attention and looking behind him or something. So he turns around and sees a green light and mashes the gas pedal as I was just finishing crossing the car. 1/100th of a second later, and he would've ran over my ankle.
-A dog attacked me the other day. I was running past an old lady and her dog, and the dog jumped out of her arms and grabbed onto my pants. Took me like 10 seconds to get the thing off of me. Luckily, my shorts suffered no damage.

Just wondering, why no headphones on the track?

Re: What can I do to take at LEAST 2 seconds off my 1600 before Monday?

guest — Mon, 29 May 2006 08:42:00 GMT

Yeah, I made another topic about my results for my league race...I ended up running a 5:58! My 1200 time was 4:31, so I just pushed out with all I had left and I ended up with that time.

Yeah, I don't want to accuse some of you of lying, but really, some of these times seem a little...unbelievable. Not so much because of the age, but because of the amount of people of this age. Not to mention how many topics people start where it's obvious that they're just stroking their own egos.

You know what I'm talking about..the ones like..

"What are ur times in the 1600 and ur age? I'm 13 and I run a 4:20 1600 time but it was the first time i tried the event so it wasnt that gud!!"

Re: I DID IT! I took the 2 seconds off my 1600!

Felt pretty awesome. It was my goal for the year, and everyone else who ran distance knew about it, so they gave me congrats. And my close friend (who is also the person who times me in races) and I shared many, many hugs and such (She's a girl, I'm a guy).

I DID IT! I took the 2 seconds off my 1600!

guest — Wed, 24 May 2006 04:48:00 GMT

Yeah, I just ran the race like I know how. The conditions weren't perfect and I felt tired (for some reason, my times are faster when I'm tired) all day, but I still managed to achieve my goal! If you read my other topic, you'd know that I ran a 6:01 before and was trying to run 5:59. I ended up running a 5:58. I'm so happy that I ended the year with such an improvement, even though I know just about everyone who posts here can do tons better.

My times for this year:

6:17
6:08
6:06
6:16
6:04
6:01
6:09
5:58

Aside from two bumps in the road (one of which was heavy rain conditions for most of the day), I've been consistently PRing all year, and I'm finally in the 5s, where I want to be!

Would cutting my (already short) hair help my 1600 time any?

guest — Sun, 21 May 2006 20:17:00 GMT

My hair is barely an inch long and really curly, but I was wondering if cutting it shorter would help my time any? Or would it have virtually no effect?
