Sir Ironpool Sir Ironpool Sponsored by Toyota Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/12/01 Posts: 71803 Loc: Long Beach, CA	Thanks Mike! Looks like you're gonna be busy the next few months. $\:D$ If I could run this weekend I'd likely get up to 70 miles, as I'm trying to get just a little extra training in before my first 50 miler in 2 weeks. It may be a blessing in disguise though as I probably need the rest. _________________________

Sir Ironpool Sir Ironpool Sponsored by Toyota Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/12/01 Posts: 71803 Loc: Long Beach, CA	Managed a 4th overall at today's 5k. Not too competitive at the front, but I'll take it. Course was a bit short , my GPS measured 2.9 miles, and 17:54...so 6:10 pace. A bit off my 5k PR, but not bad for no real speedwork in a long while. _________________________

Lividentity Lividentity Major Member Registered: 07/14/04 Posts: 1302 Loc: Gehenna	I only ran twice the past week since my half-marathon. I have no races scheduled right now and so am totally undecided on what to do. I did an hour long run yesterday in the evening, after deciding I was being way too lazy, lol. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/466715776 It was pretty neat though because I ran over a bridge roughly at sunset so it looked really nice. Kept up a good pace and now got sore legs today, go me!

SJP0tato SJP0tato Member Registered: 10/13/01 Posts: 818 Loc: Gilbert, Az	What kind of shorts are you guys using/happy with? I started out with a few generic pairs of gym/exercise shorts Amazon had a year ago, and while they're not basketball shorts length or anything they're kinda long/baggy compared to most normal running shorts I've seen. At that time I was just starting so I was more worried about modesty/beginnerism. Now I have no concern with people seeing my pasty white legs, only comfort: I blindly tried a pair of Pearl Izumi shorts that were on sale, and they were total crap (the liner has horrible seams in the worst placement). What're some of the pairs you guys would recommend?

Or, for $15 less, the 'regular' Strider shorts are perfectly fine. More pockets for gel storage in the Pro shorts but maybe that's not important to you. These and Salomon tights are all I run now after trying a host of other shorts. http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/mens-strider-shorts-5-inch?p=24642-0 <-- 'Regular' Strider Whatever you decide, make sure you go for the 5" inseam. Like in business where you "dress for the job you want" I find it best in running to "dress for the times I want" _________________________

Hai Ho Hai Ho Unregistered	I dislike my non-pro striders. They're not bad, but they sort of bunch. I'll probably get some pro's next month as the weather continues to warm up. (though I'm not above short in the cold).

Lividentity Lividentity Major Member Registered: 07/14/04 Posts: 1302 Loc: Gehenna	I wear Saucony Running Shorts. I believe that is the right pair. They're longer and have a longer liner in them, like boxer briefs. I like them so when I run my thighs don't rub together to get agitated, or needing bodyglide or something. Also, there is only a single backpocket, but it is big enough for me to fit my Note 3 in it. Plus it is off to the side, I dislike pockets that are directly in the center on the back of shorts. I'd recommend them to anyone that is looking into longer shorts.

Hai Ho Hai Ho Unregistered	SO I finally got myself a GPS watch. Chris sent me a link to a cheapy and I couldn't pass it up. I have to say, this shit is pretty slick. I used to use stopwatch on normal watch and marked trail distances(and some google help). This whole GPS thing is is a marked improvement. Now I know exactly how slow I am! $\:\)$ $\:\\|$ $\:\($

I feel outright ridiculous in them And won't be too much longer before you don't have to imagine anymore _________________________

If you ever want a crazy workout do a ladder. I did 400-800-1200-1600-1200-800-400, all of my 400m splits were 1:19-1:29, the last 400 being the fastest. Boom. _________________________ Paki: 3:36

Did 10 miles @ 91:15. And tonight I resumed the treadmill training... 13.1 @ 1:57:07. Hope to kick up the mileage to 16-18 next week.

Lividentity Lividentity Major Member Registered: 07/14/04 Posts: 1302 Loc: Gehenna	I did a nice 7 miler in an hour again last night. Should be doing a long run tomorrow but my left heel today is hurting. Nothing special happened during my run, though I know it was starting to get sore during the run. It feels like it is the bone or something, because it is sore inside my heel, not on the outside/skin layer. It was rough just walking into work from the parking garage to my desk, ugh.

Haha, it is 6 compared to 5. I haven't even heard of 3 of them, and 1 I just found out about the other day. Also, the 100milers here are all flat and and such, Colorado is brutal. The Keys 100 does sound cool though, it is all on roads through the Florida Keys. I might actually go after that one in the future.

I'm sure there are plenty low key/unknown ones out there for every state too. Anyway, that's awesome. Hopefully next year I will jump into a 100 miler. I did decide to sign up for a 50 miler because I needed something on my calendar to train for, lol.
