heh, did you see last week's "the office" where michael puked up all his pasta?

hilarious!

+1 - That episode was great. I actually thought about aham with the whole nipple chafing deal.

Kenal0

I would not miss it! I knew someone would pick that up. Almost as good as Crede using the toner ink from the printer to dye his hair this past week for the younger look wanting Red Bull in the pop machine.

"Hey bro, you think we could get some Red Bull up in here...."

"Sometimes you just gotta ride the Bull."



Hey aham, remember.... The Taper Tapir will be watching you. Repect the Tapir!

Looks like it will be a nice steamy day tomorrow. Should help you stay with the elites as tehy do not run well in this weather. Good luck, stay hydrated. Have fun.

Take it easy out there!!! I'm already nervous for the marathoners. I have so many friends running and this weather is just the worst! Hydrate and adjust your pace. Usually in this type of heat that might mean 1:00-1:30 slower per mile.

The detriment of heat is cumulative so it becomes a greater factor as you go on. (and for slower runners even more dangerous) Stay conservative till 20...then as they say...put the hammer down!

PS...not meaning to be a downer; just concerned about all your hard work and this damned heat. Stupid marathons...so much work....so many things to go wrong on race day. Maddening sport. Ok....rant over. Sending you good vibes! ( I should also say that my best 'thons have been on the worst weather days on hilly courses; go figure!)

I had a friend who decided he would protect his nipples one year in Chicago by putting duct tape on them. It worked and all was well until he had to take it off!

aham23

weather. i havent checked the forecast or been outside today. is it hot? its october how hot could it be?

cyclpsycho

GOOD LUCK!!!

You've trained enough miles -- just listen to your body -- It always knows!

Kenal0

Just think you will finally get to don one of the milar silver blankets, this sign of victory. Only problem is it will be 88 degrees outside and it will probably kill you.

aham23

Psimet2001 

What a wussy. I'm doing something like 45 miles tomorrow....while pulling my son in a trailer. Ha!



,....oh....that's right, you're running. - have fun! Don't die.

whitesox

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you're not sleeping, noone sleeps the night before a marathon!, LOL!!

Have fun, enjoy it... and whatever you do... DON'T WALK AT MILE 20 WHEN 2/3 OF THE PEOPLE ARE WALKING!!!!!!!!!, KEEP RUNNING!!!!

aham23

now, i run.

later.

CyLowe97

131 miles at the '200k' route of the Horribly Hilly Hundreds without walking any of the hills.

Yeah, I think you'll do just fine with this weenie 26.2 mile flat course foot race.

Remember, when you see the tapir floating in front of you at mile 22, just keep running! He's rooting for you to do well.

Kimbercop

Good luck topday aham.. You've worked hard, just enjoy it

Kenal0

Looks like the race was cut short. At 11:30 race officials decided to route everyone on the course to Grant Park.
Train in the heat since June or July all summer long and then have your big day messed up. That is a bummer!!!

Kenal0

CrankedUp

Yeah, total bummer. I just returned from a ride down the to South Shore club and saw lots of ambulances in the Grant Park area on the way back. It's pretty muggy, but right along the lake the breezes are nice.

BTW, hello all - forum n00b here.

Psimet2001 

I rode pulling the trailer today and it was some of the hardest riding I have doen in a while - just because of the heat. I haven't sweat like that in a long time. aham I hope you did OK!
