Ran 8:00 min/mile pace today
for half a mile. This was an improvement over Tues. Tues I ran much faster, but only for about 600m.

I may mix in a bit of running this summer combined with the cycling. I've heard that if you only ride...it tends to lessen your bone density? Not sure about that...but I have a few guys that ride a lot and they both are of the same opinion.
So, if my bone density loses much,...I may collapse in a heap of jelly in the not to distant future. Waters: What's up with the avatar of GP? |

Since then I have shown to the world Goat's ridiculous proclamations about the greatness of Joe Glenn. So again, I am looking pretty, and napper is looking like someone who wandered out of a UofU restroom with a copy of national geographic under one arm, and a grin on his face. |

This ought to elicit a cleverly composed reply from Goat. |

You're going to have to do better than that. |

Should a fifty second guy be chewing out at least a 1:58 or sub 2:00? I'm slower than slow in sprinting, [I may have broken 12 seconds in 100 meters once], but 4:00 in a half? You can stop and take a piss and still beat that. |

I was jogging for the half mile. That wasn't a sprint. We should lay down a wager. Me against Farrah in the half mile. Remember, I'm not a total slouch. I play basketball 3 times a week. |

My money is on Farrah.

I'm glad you all are backing off your claims that she would beat me in the half mile. I have successfully called your bluff. I think the longest I have ever run was about 3 miles, when in ROTC. Now you know why I quit the ROTC. |

The stakes - If you win, I promise to stop trolling in the religion section for 1 week. If she wins, you promise to do the same. Do you think we should bring her in on this little wager? She might have some ideas to make the wager a little more interesting. |

3 miles? One word: PUSSY. And not the good kind. |

Well, maybe my definition of big isn't the same as others. I'm 6' 1'' and about 215. |

that is fast. my fastest mile is 8:34 and i am 6'4" 240lbs. i will not ever get below a 7 minute mile, and will likely never get below an 8 minute miile.

I'm in the same boat as OrangeUte. I'm 5'11" and (now) 238 (started at 261) and I will probably never see a mile faster than 8:00.
I'm okay with that, I wasn't built for running anyway. |

I always get a kick out of people who lose a bunch of weight by running, but because they don't look like the stereotypical runner, they don't think they are one. I hate to break it to you, but you've lost 25 lbs. and you're putting in a ton of miles...YOU ARE A RUNNER! It doesn't matter how fast you are or where you finish in a race, if you run, you're a runner. If you stay with it, you'll be amazed at what your body will adapt to. There's no reason on earth you can't run a sub 8:00 mile, but that kind of improvement takes months, maybe even years. I think you need to give yourself a little more credit for the incredible progress you've made so far. |
