just a reply so i could get email notification.

LabRat · 05-24-2007, 12:45 PM

I forgot to mention the trail running thread, too. Good pics there

skysidhe · 05-24-2007, 12:48 PM

I'm too lazy to run. I'd rather bicycle. I'll watch your progress though!

theotherguy · 05-24-2007, 01:25 PM

I never got into trail running. I am afraid of twisted ankles. Maybe I am just a wimp.

LabRat · 05-24-2007, 03:24 PM

I won't call you a wimp, but I wont call you tough guy either

.

Actually, my friend in those photos DID twist her ankle at about mile 6.5. After several months, a goofy looking boot, and industrial strength anti-imflammatories, she's just about ready to get back into running.

What's life without a little risk, Sally?

theotherguy · 05-24-2007, 03:37 PM

I don't know that ANYONE has ever called me a tough guy. I am perfectly willing to admit that I am not in the "no pain, no gain" camp. I like "no pain, no pain."

Ouch, you called me Sally. I prefer Monique. Sounds like more of an exotic badass bitch to me.

Good to know. When you've been around the Cellar block a couple more times, and aren't thenewguy anymore, we'll change your usertitle. --UT, make a note.

j/k

Damn. Foiled by my own smart-assedness.

Labrat, I am capable of being a complete bore on the subject of my practice. What's "gabbly"?

DucksNuts · 05-28-2007, 08:46 PM

Gabbly chat...down the bottom right corner of the page.

Its just our own little chat

OK, so far this year I haven't done any races because they haven't worked out schedule wise or weatherwise. But I finally have found one I haven't done before that I can do. The 22nd Annual Alliant Energy Fifth Season Race is the 4th of July. There is a 5K and 8K. I'm going to do the 8K, (5 miles) since I am currently running 2.5-3 miles 2-3 times a week. We've got a guest room if anyone is interested in doing this with me

. My daughter is going to do the 200 yard kid's run. She is totally excited. She'll get a T-shirt, just like mom for hers too!

hideouse · 06-05-2007, 12:33 PM

Labrat and anyone else, i'd be happy to discuss my run in gabbly sometime. When's good for you?

LabRat · 06-05-2007, 12:45 PM

hideouse, I'm getting a new computer, so I'll be able to chat more in the evenings, but not for a week or so. That would probably be best. I'll shoot you a PM when I know more. Then we can invite the rest of the cellar, if they're lucky

.

USATF is a SWEET site that you can use for planning or checking your route distances. It gives you elevation too, if you have the patience for it to update.

Here is one of my 'flat' 4 mile routes through my neighborhood. My house is one of them along there

. Note Iowa is not as flat as one might think, HLJ.

If you look a bit to the right, you can see a creek running through a series of parks. That's where a nice cinder trail is, although it has some rather scary looking wires criss crossing over it... zzzttt..

neat tool

My road loop 22.35miles, 2771ft total climb, and 6024ft of elevation change. ouchy
