Calling BYUpride and Sizzle
 

Feel free to record a 5k time guys, it's boring to see "no run data" next to your names.

I might do mine a little later in a few weeks.

They're probably scared.

</reverse_psychology>

Did you break down and buy a nano?

I am. Your times will probably crush me.

I'm just excited that nikuman recorded a time slower than me, so I'm not at the bottom of those with recorded times. I'm gonna run for the first time in a week tomorrow morning after finally getting my foot to feel better.

Don't hurt yourself. You have all summer to take the number one spot.

I need to buy one, but I intend to time myself during tempos before I buy one. I just don't want to be last, because Runner will probably be the first.

lol, I'd be shocked if I took that #1 spot honestly, but I'm just excited to be able to run again, I feel much better during the day if I have run that morning and my attention span is much better too :p

I got excited when I saw my time is a little bit faster than his. Then he revealed that he'd run 24 miles the day before he recorded that time. I will lose my spot the next time he runs with his ipod.

How fast did you run? I don't want to participate if I have no chance at being respectable.

During my last episode, we ran fifteen with the last three being my 5K, and did it in 22 minutes and some seconds. So if that's not in the ballpark I guess I'll quite before I start. I don't have the time to just run a 5k.

arch, we all hate you. Currently, here are the numbers.

steelblue 24'33"
runnercoug 24'53"
ewth8tr 29'29"
nikuman 36'12"

How does this nano thing work?

Do I run my mileage prior to my 5K and then turn it on, or do I have get to choose my fastest 5K?

I have a Garmin 305, do I have to turn one off to use the other?

just have the nano on the whole time you run and it will just tke the fastest 5K of the run.

What did I miss while in Denver?

Is there a new CG running competition?

I'm looking to break 45 minutes. I'm a great walker. Sorry about not running with the nano. I'll have to wake up early sometime this week and run. although, that will cut into my riding time and if i had to choose between riding or running, i'll choose riding 99.9% of the time.... pray for me.

There are a bunch of 5K's going on on the 4th. Here is what I was emailed from the Salt Lake Running Company a few days ago. I'm going to do the South Salt Lake one if everything goes ok with my run tomorrow.

• 16th Annual Navajo Hogan 5K – South Salt Lake City
• 2006 Freedom Run 5K, 10K & 1 Mile Fun Run - Provo
• 4th of July 5k Fun Run – East Millcreek
• Cherry Days 5k - Ogden
• Clearfield Freedom Run 5K and 2 Mile Walk
• Kaysville Rotary 8th Annual 4th of July 5K and 10K
• Layton Liberty Days 5K
• Murray Fun Days 5K Run/Walk
• Park City's Traditional Independence Day Celebration 5k
• West Jordan Western Stampede 5K

I'll see about doing the Park City 5k... thanks for putting it in bold for me :)

hehe, I just cut and pasted it from my email, it was already in bold :)

I got depressed when I saw the challenge. A 5k for me in under 30 minutes is awesome and only been done a few times. But I need to get going again...

come on sizzle, that 29'29 is the best I have ever run (of course, the first 5K that I ever ran was about 2 months ago :)

I don't know how many times I'm going to have to say it before everyone believes me...I am not fast. My marathon PR is 3:46. My half mary PR is 1:43. I'm typically in the top 15% at most races I run, but that's hardly earth shattering. I routinely get my butt kicked by old men, and young mothers pushing strollers. I'm just a hack, trying hard to keep from getting fat (again).

Yes, fastest 5k by the end of summer. Let me know your screen name and I'll invite you.

My goal is to get into the 22 minute range by end of summer. Right now your time would put you in the lead by 2 minutes but runnercoug has only posted one run and he ran 24 miles the day before.

Hey, I'm quite proud of that time. It was after a 10 year break after making a 4500 gain in elevation. With practice, I'm pretty confident I get under 35 minutes, easy. Maybe I'll even do 1k of it without the 4wheeler.

In fairness, I probably have a little advantage, as running is in my blood. My sister ran track and CC for BYU, making second team AA one of her years in both sports. My brother is a national class triathlete. I'm the bum of the family, athletically speaking.

I also ran sub 17 once in college(it was downhill, but you don't have to know that). Now I haven't run sub 20 in many decades, but it would be fun if it didn't hurt so bad. During intervals this morning I ran six minute miles that made me puke. So sub twenty isn't coming any time soon. My days of fast running are behind me not in front of me. There are days when I struggle to do a 24 at the end of a long run as well. So with age, one's time is not as consistent.

I would like in, even though I don't have the nano yet. still working on that one.

I am running a 10 k tomorrow morning so I will cut that time in half.

Also I did a sprint tri earlier this year and the 5 k from that was 21:48, so at least I have a base time.

You're welcome to post your times here and we'll let you know where you stand. But until you get that Nano, no electronic trophy for you pal.

Have we ever figured out if you can have more than one user for the same nano?

After the death ride next week, I plan to lace on the old running shoes again after taking 6 months off and would like to use the Nike+ to track my running. If it will work, I will definitely want in.

BTW, is your challenge private? I was trying to look it up last night and couldn't find it.

1) Yes, you can have more than one user for the same nano, but you have to buy your own chip. What's $30 to a rich business owner like you though?

2) You have to be invited to see my challenge. I never posted it. Go buy the friggin' chip and let's get you in there.

You have to hear what I did yesterday. I did a 5k for time but set my ipod to 3 miles instead of 5k. I was hurting so bad at the end that as soon as I heard the lady say "congratulations" I shut it off and stopped running. I ran a 23:55 and was stoked to come home and put that time up in our contest as it's a significant drop in time. I realized about halfway home that I needed to run another tenth of a mile to hit the 5k. What a waste!

That sucks.

On the other hand, I registered my first time, and my first 5k in almost 2 months... ingrown toenail be damned. I sucked, although the first 2 miles were alright, the third kicked my ass.

I'm hoping to go again tomorrow and shave at least 2-3 minutes off of my time. I think it'd doable too...

I don't have the nano or the nike+ kit...I do have a garman GPS tracker--would that work or is this only working for those with the nike+ kit?

You're welcome to post your times here and we'll compare them. But the nike+ challenge only lets you record times with the nike+ iPod system.

Did 6 miles on Sunday in 68 mins.

Did 5 miles on Monday in 55 mins.

Did 4 1/3 miles today in 42 mins.

In other words, I am fat.

Pride, you are the only entrant not to have recorded a time. Get with the program.

hold on... i'm eating a ham and cheese hot pocket... i'll try and do it today.

I need Nike+ but here's my time off the treadmill for 3.11 miles: 29:22. I am a fat ass.

You'd be in 4th place right now. Here are the results so far.

SteelBlue 23:20
runnercoug 24:53
ewth8tr 28:50
nikuman 36:12
TheSizzle36 38:55

I remember when I was in ROTC and I did the 2 mile test in something like 13min and 30sec or maybe 14 min. I talked to my friend that ran track in high school and told him my time. he said, "what , did you break your leg?"
