Re: DoppelLaufers Good Natured Taunting and Race Reports Thread

That's awesome. I'm already having fun.

Too bad its bed time though. 6 mile tempo run at 5 am.

Maybe I better look for my bandaids before I go to bed, I don't want to attract any vampire babies.

Do you mind if I borrow your profile photo for a blog entry tomorrow?

Re: DoppelLaufers Good Natured Taunting and Race Reports Thread

For your perusal:

http://runningbirdsblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/2010-doppellaufer-virtual-5k-challenge.html

I believe in equal time. If you would like to submit a response I promise to put it up unedited. You can either post it here or send it to me by private email.

And here is the link to my run this morning on sportypal (with squared corners of course):

http://www.sportypal.com/Workouts/Details/544256

6 miles in 50:59 including a few Florida hills. There is a decent incline, it just doesn’t last very long. My best mile was 8:03, by my math we’ll have to average around 7:45 to beat 24:00 on Saturday.

If I interpret your screen name correctly you are two years my senior and in the decrepit 45-49 bracket. Don’t think for a second I’ll take it easy on you because you’re getting on in years and at risk of parts falling off.

There's a tropical storm brewing in the Gulf. I may even get a decent tail wind.

Re: DoppelLaufers Good Natured Taunting and Race Reports Thread

HAHAHAHA Thats hilareous!

6 mile tempo run in 50:59? Oh crap, my last 6 mile tempo run, last week, was 51:52, with a 7:57 first mile and 8:03 6th mile.   You got me by a minute, altho I bested your best mile.    Had I known that I'd be humiliated with a subpar time now I wouldnt have run them 9+ snail pace miles for mile 2 and 3.

I predict that storm will bring you 60mph headwinds and scattered palm fronds to hurdle.   Have fun in your steeplechase 5K.

Re: DoppelLaufers Good Natured Taunting and Race Reports Thread

Hilarious! Love the 'actual Size' comment on Bird's Blog. Your thread has me rolling already. Especially Jim's 'Nancy Boy' comment. Can't wait to see who wins! Bring it on (both of you!)

Good Luck to the winner (I will repeat to myself 'I will not choose sides, I will not choose sides')

Re: DoppelLaufers Good Natured Taunting and Race Reports Thread

Jim: You may have a point about headwinds. No worries though, I’ve got a freshly shaved dome and the improved aerodynamics will give me the edge I need.

Maryalicia: No need to take sides publicly, but if you enjoy the occasional wager I hear the odds makers gave me a bump after Jim publicly confessed he was too lazy to get out and run this morning

Re: DoppelLaufers Good Natured Taunting and Race Reports Thread

heheehhe I wasn't just chasing skirts, I was chasing the boys. And if I were single, I definately would have caught quite a few LOL. AND if I thought I could even catch you guys, I would be signing up for a 5K to challenge you two as well this weekend. Sigh, not this weekend boys! But soon- SOON! I may be quite the worthy opponent.

/Gets out the razor for a shiny head in preparation

BTW- what time are you trying to reach again for the race?

Bald women are ssssexy!

My PR is 24:10, Jim's is 24:08.

I would be happy as long as I can get those first two digits down to 23 . . . and beat old whats-his-name of course.
