Runners amongst us

docedwards

I run a few 5K races. Just curious if we have many runners amongst us.

I used to run 1-2 miles a day and do the occasional charity 5k. It's been about a year since I stopped and I do miss it.

You working on cardio, upper body, abs, or just all-around? I could give you some tips and exercises to do.

Well over the last weekend, we had numerous guests in my hotel that were participating in the Western States 100mile Marathon here in California... yes, that's right: 100 miles....running... My uncle - Michael Hays - owns Personal Best Performance in Idaho, and actually organizes these kinds of marathons regularly. My other uncle regularly runs 20+ miles a day, my father 10+, my brother is a personal trainer in training and my other brother participates in 50mile marathons... In other words, hell no I don't run!

I'm set to run my first half marathon about 5 hours from now. Started running again in Jan. after taking about a 23 year break. I've run about 14 5Ks and 1 10K this year. This will be my first ever race beyond 8K. So, why am I awake now? I work 12 hr shifts, will get off at 6. On most race days I have to be back at work at 6pm but I've arranged to be off today. Probably a wise move. My race goal. 1. To finish. 2. and finish under 2 hrs.

I've been running and working out for some time now. I've ran a few marathons, 50K, and 50 mile races. In AZ I was very much into mountain and trail running, but out here there isn't much of that. I'm also into lifting/bodybuilding.

Great regimen you have. I stay fairly fit for an old man but stick to running and biking.

I subscribe to Satchel Paige's view on running. He said " Avoid running at all cost "!

Didn't John Kruk say something like "I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player"? :-D

Ran my first half marathon on Sat. with a time of 1:50:48, (age 53). Was very sore but did 3 miles on Sun and 3 today. Feeling good and looking forward, i think, to the next one. Probably in the spring.

Ran my last race of the year yesterday. It was a 5K course not too far from the Talladega Superspeedway. Hilliest course I've ever ran and it kicked my ***. Still took 2nd in my age group with a 25:51.

Nice work!
