Not that I'm trying to encourage you guys, but that was a very good use of the popcorn smiley!

I just returned from a 1.1 mile run. Feeling pretty good.

You all know there's a charge for watching the mudfest right? The cheering section needs to pay an admission fee, and the link is in my siggy...

Don't beat yourself up too much Don. Your body needs rest days to recover too. I didn't workout today, but that's OK. I ran 3 days in a row (Mon, Tues, and Wed), and that's pushing it for me. I was going to try to do some cross-training today, but it didn't happen because of work. No big deal. I'll run tomorrow and Sat and call it a week (Sunday's always a rest and recover day for me). Don't feel like a schlep at all.

That being said, I'm glad I have Aaron on my team. He ran today...

Did I mention I had two drinks and a big plate of nachos!

Can't lose to much weight and fall out of the beast division. Although, if we wait to cross the line sounds like we don't have to weight in, unless we finish in the top 3.

Hey Don, I must admit I'm not doing anything special to train for the Muddy Buddy. I'm actually shooting for a half marathon (maybe a full) on May 3rd in Pittsburgh (my old hometown). So I'm training for that. If I end up doing the full marathon in Pittsburgh, then I am going to be slow and in recovery mode for the Muddy Buddy the following week. If I only do the half marathon, then I'll be in good shape for the Muddy Buddy.

Congratulations on your weight loss. That is awesome! I'm in the same boat as you. I lost about 40+ pounds when I started running again (what I call my 3rd running incarnation) in January 2006. I had run in high school, stopped in college, run in grad school, stopped when I had kids and got a faculty position, and started up again in January 2006. My weight had shot up to over 200 lbs, and I was tired of being so out of shape. I told myself in January 2006 that I was going to run the full marathon at Disney in January 2007. I got myself up off the couch, started walking 2 miles a day, and worked myself up to finish the full marathon in 2007.

My exercise has now become a habit, and I've been going ever since.

Dave, did you register for the marathon? I heard they closed registration. If you run the marathon, you will run just 1/2 block from my house. You will need to let me know what time you think you will be running by mile 15. I am just a couple of blocks from that point.

Yeah, Uuuuum, no I didn't. I heard from some friends the other day that they closed the marathon registration. I'm really bummed because I was told by their reps that it wouldn't close out this first year back. I did get put on the waiting list though. We'll see what happens. If I get into the race I will definitely let you know. I'll need some cheerleaders for sure - especially after the half mile marker. So you must live in Shadyside. I used to live around there too when I went to college at Pitt.

The course goes 1/2 block in front of my MiL's house on the north side too. She's a block off of Western Ave at Mile 8. In fact the church I got married in is on Western Ave.

They got 9000 people registered. They didn't think they would get that many. Hopefully they will go through the wait list and you can run.

I decided to get up an hour early and go for a run. Just 3 miles but at least it's something. Morning fellas.
