Bob2 Runs a Marathon – Day 16
Mar ‘10 02
How’s it going out there BobcastNation?!?! Day 16 of training, I bet you guys thought I would have given up by now! I got you good! Last weekend, I took to the slopes of Lutsen so I had to rearrange my training a little bit, but don’t worry I got it all in; I swapped my rest day (yesterday) with my long run day (Sunday). The upside was that I didn’t have to hit the treadmill for 50 minutes (I run 6 miles per hour only because the math is so easy ) while a little sore from skiing and a little hung over from ski vacation’s inevitable extra-curriculars. The downside, however, was that I traded away my favorite day of the week, my Monday-funday. So instead of having a manageable 22 miles this week, I face a daunting 27. And yes I see the irony in the fact that I am scared of a mileage I get to spread over 7 days that is baaaaarely longer than what I will run on one day in June. At least I hope it’s less than a day…
It’s starting to get nice out again, but I’m resisting the temptation to start running outside until all of the ice is off of the sidewalks. I have some pretty bad ankles from the college days, and I can’t risk taking a couple weeks off with a sprain. I have started taking fish oil though, it’s supposed to be good for repairing that sort of damage, and I don’t know if it’s the placebo effect, but I feel invincible right now. Those 5 miles flew by yesterday, and my 2 “easy” miles today, I couldn’t help myself but run them hard. Who knows, maybe this fish (read: snake) oil really works. We’ll see.
I have been noticing a very strange phenomena during my daily trips to the gym. I know it’s winter, and those of you with kids are probably off the hook, but do you really need to drive around for 10 minutes looking for a space that is close to the door? I mean, this is forgivable in certain situations, like an ambulance pulling up to the ER, or Tiger Woods at a titty bar (too easy?). But seriously people, you are going to work out! You are trying to lose that fat ass and you can’t bother yourself to walk 20 more seconds! My new favorite hobby is to walk slowly down one of the aisles until a car starts inching behind me… keep walking for a few more cars fiddling with the keys…slowly start to amble over to my car…only zing! I parked on the other side of the aisle!
Loading ...Bob2 Runs a Marathon – Day 9
Feb ‘10 23
Hi everybody! Your friendly, neighborhood, full-time Bob/part-time marathon trainer here! Day 9 got me back in the gym after a rest day where I, get this, rested! Just 2 miles on the docket, and I rocked them all! I couldn’t help but notice on my last post, the main man himself, Dick Beardsley, commented on the post! I don’t care if it was him or some internet troll impostering him, it made my day. Thanks for the encouragement and I will definitely stop by the booth up in Duluth!
If you are still reading, I’d like to ask you something; it’s not everyday that I have an American long distance running legend in my audience! Question to Dick – or anyone else that may have a solution – what the heck do you do about nipple chaffing? Serious question. Girls I assume don’t have this problem, they have the sports bra working on their side. Guys who are conditioned runners are probably off the hook too, since they don’t look so dastardly running shirtless. So Dick, you may not have this problem, but running is in your wheelhouse, so you may have some input. Its a serious problem for many runners and it is the upper body equivalent of getting kicked in the nuts. Now I know why baby formula was invented…
Anyway. It’s cold here in Minneapolis, so you can imagine I’ve been doing all of my training on a treadmill at my gym and I have a bone to pick with my fellow runners banished to the treadmill for the winter months. Now it’s been shown that running and walking on an incline has many benefits – you’ll burn more calories and be ready for the hills that you’ll encounter on the paths once it thaws out. But seriously, those benefits are wasted when you jack up the treadmill to a 15% grade, and then hang on for dear life to the handle. I don’t know how else to explain it without busting out a physics text book. Other than possibly winding up with some killer Popeye-esque forearms, all you are essentially doing is running on a flat surface while looking silly.
