Floridaboiler,

I read the long version and the short version, all I can say is WOW! What an accomplishment! How many mpw did you run to prepare for this? I've often thought of doing an ultra, you've really inspired me to consider it.

Hey guys,

I ran the Coporate Run last night with TNT. It was a lot of fun but very crowded, 5200 people were there (most of them walkers) so I was weaving a lot trying to get around everyone. I hadn't run this week since Saturday (I was in Tampa and Orlando with the family) so I was proud that I ran as well as I did. I've been reading this book about staying focused and positive during a race and I used some of the techniques last night and felt the difference. My final time was 23:07 (1 second off from my PR) but I felt 100 times better in this race then I did in my PR race. I had enough energy to outkick quite a few people at the end. Now my new goal is to take 30 seconds off that time for my next race on 4/17. That may be too ambitious since it's just 2 weeks away. 30 seconds doesn't sound like a lot but with the way I was breathing last night, who knows!

That's great. Sounds like it was a wonderful week all the way around. We'll be doing the corperate challenge week after next. I expect my experence will be much like yours.

Stay focused (insert one of those smiley winking things here)

Happy Trails,
Bob

anybody here from Lake Mary and / or running on the lanes along Rinehart and Panera to 434?

When i'm running i never say "hi" to people because everyone seems so focused or conceited (or I myself am struggling, if it happens to be one of my so called "hard" days, hehe...)

just wanted to say "hi"

cheers

Hey there ivo,

Well I have no idea where you are talking about so can't help you out there. As far as saying hi to other runners, I say hi to everyone whether they like it or not! I don't always actually verbalize my hello, sometimes I nod or smile, but I always acknowledge the other runner or walker. It's also for safety reasons since I'm often out alone early in the morning's. I read that women runners should always make eye contact to people coming towards them so that you don't look vulnerable. Plus I make sure they see my pepper spray!!

I think runners in general are a very friendly bunch and are probably not conceited, just focused on the task at hand like you said.

Next week I'm on spring break vacation in the West Palm Beach/Lake Worth area of south east florida. Are there any good running locations around there? Is it alright to run up the beach?

Morning,

That's a great strech to run on. The uphill going south from Lake Mary Blvd is a long pull. For those from out of town this is part of the Seminole County Trail system.

Happy trails,
Bob

For all you folks down south of Orlando. I've been thinking of you guy, and gals, a lot recently with all the wild fires. Sure hope all is ok and your not having any troubles. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Happy Trails,

Bob

Well it sure has made it difficult to run. I've actually come home with ashes all over me after my runs. The fires aren't that close (same county but further west) but when the wind blows in the right direction we get ash everywhere at my house. As soon as I drive north to go to work or for Saturday morning training you can't smell the smoke at all. I'm praying they get the fires out soon!

Monday morning and just finished my run about two hours ago. I typically get up just before 5 and do 5 miles. My route takes me within a couple blocks of Florida Girls house. At any rate I just managed to beat the rain this morning and now it's pouring down and will be off and on for the next day and a half. Yelp, it's going to be a wet run tomorrow, but we need the ran.

Happy Trails,
Bob

Boy, do we need this rain! My lawn was looking very dry, and now it's getting greener and greener! I need to mow sometime this week.

Bob--I really need to take a picture of my subdivision sign (Clubhouse Point) and post it in the Clubhouse.

How's everyone doing? Anyone running the VA Beach Rock and Roll Half?

I have a digital camera. The bad news is it just went to Minnesota with Rosemary and won't be back for a week or so. That makes me a catagory B bachalor. I think the folks in the house would love the picture. I'm trying to bring my yard back from the grave.

Happy Trails.
