Heck I'm still trying to get under "The Oprah Line" in the marathon: 4:29:20THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A POLITICAL POST.
I saw this Tim Walz running challenge on instagram and I know a lot of you all have already succeeded. Me, on the other hand, am thinking “I still have a few years until I reach the age he set his PRs! Yeah!”

Oh yeah, I saw that reel about celebrities who’ve run marathons and was like… damn.
These are all very close to my PRs so I had to double-checkTHIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A POLITICAL POST.

. I have him beat in the 10m & HM but not the 5 or 10K. Reminds me of when Paul Ryan lied about his marathon PR

Yeah I have the 10 miler beat but he was older than me when he ran itThese are all very close to my PRs so I had to double-check
Like @GollyGadget, I've run faster in the 10M and HM but just a bit slower in the 5K/10K. However I'm also like 15 years younger than he was running these, so... 
Omg, that’s hilarious. I’m not sure how accurate all of Walz’s times are because people found them online.These are all very close to my PRs so I had to double-check
Only the Medtronic 10 Miler, the others require too much driving.That 10-mile time does seem like an outlier
Curious how many of these races @Naomeri has run!
My governor is the richest elected politician in the United States, but I don't think he could even walk a mile. He did break his leg just standing in 2019 so that would be kind of a reverse PR we should work to avoid.My governor is pretty dang fast, so I have no illusions that I could ever beat his PRs
I also have both of these while running with my Garmin. Yes, you need your phone.
Gotta be Illinois, right?
Yes, Governor Big Boy as he is called by friends and foes.
My 4 mile run started at 150 this morning, it felt like a Disney World 5K, except that the sun was upI checked halfway through my 5k run this morning and the T+D was 147.
Just to follow up I ran this race and finished in a crazy-making 1:00:05. This is like the third race in a row I have missed a round number cutoff by a few seconds. I went out way too hot the first 2 miles, at a pace I should do only if I’m not only not getting over being sick, but really at the best running fitness I’ve ever been. Neither of those conditions were met today, And I just sputtered out after that. But the day was great, weather great if a little hot, and the after-race “festival” was lively. They gave out a free beer and a free frozen treat of some kind at the end of the race and I wondered who would want either of those things at 8:30am. Turns out, a lot of people! The finishers skewed younger than many of the other races I’ve done around here. Recommend if you don’t mind the iffiness of weather the last weekend of August.
I feel ya. It was 88% humidity in the Houston area this morning. Looks like we have some rain coming in today. I am hoping to get some light showers on my run at lunch today. I will be out there like Andy Dufresne when he escaped from Shawshank.I checked halfway through my 5k run this morning and the T+D was 147.
From about April to October, I call windows that look like that "morning".
Same. But also a bunch of mornings in Jan and Feb, only the condensation then is on the INSIDE. Which is why I’m getting an estimate on new windows soon.
