Title: Good luck on Sunday, Mr. 26 Miler!
Post by: Penny Lane on Sep 29, 2010, 10:03 AM
Just thought MLK could use some well wishes for his big race on Sunday! Good luck to you, our King of Brit pop and unfinished furniture.. When you hit that mile 16, make sure you've got a great "break thru that wall" playlist waiting for you, because that point, you'll need all your reserves.

Good luck, man.  Dig deep.  We will be eager to hear all about it next week.  Maybe we can get a group to go to Chicago next year.  I'm game.

Trailshead then ballers?!?!? My body will need several things come about Noon.

I get my packet of stuff Friday. I'll post my chip number if they do online tracking. Won't know till then.

And if you are near me in the next 4 days and you are sick. GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME. I'm surrounded by sick people. I'm popping airborne every 3 hours, bathing in Germex and I'm almost to the point of putting on one of those masks like when SARS and the Bird Fly hit. Fucking disrespectable people here not covering their mouths or washing their hands....

Same hear on the colors. I feel like the giant Frenchs mustard pumps you see at the ballgames.  :-/

Mmm hmmmm.

Good luck MJK!  Never ran more than a mile in my life!  I had to make it in under 5:45 for my college basketball team and it took me 3 tries...nearly had a heart attack.  Never been a runner.  No lungs.

Leaving in about a 1/2 hour to drive to the race. Slighty nervous but that may be because I'm only 35% awake. Having my pre race breaky of irish oats, white tea, and a naner. Run starts at 7:15 and there is no online tracking, bummer. Several of you will get a text when I can get to my phone (it's too bulky to take with me).

I expect to do 4:45ish but with the expected awesomeness from Mother Nature, I may let it all hang out and try to hit 4:20. That time is just for you Sticky.

Peace out kiddies, I'll see you later today.

For those withouth FB

Well, glad that one is over. Last year I did 5:28:04. This time I did just under 5. I was hoping for about 4:30 based on my 1/2 Time but I fould the hills of St Charles, and they sucked. Over 20 minutes shaved off my time is great however! Bring on Chicago in 2011.

Since the end, I have eaten 4 bread rolls from Great Harvest, 2 king sized chocolate covered Ice Cream bars, 3 oranges, a gallon of water, a nana, working on a large mug of coffee, and a double sized slice of apple pie. My ass is glued to the couch right now. I might want to consider a shower. My ass shouldn't be sticky enough to be glued to the couch and my hair right now feels like Sasquatch's pubes.

I'd say fantastic 'cept my legs are so sore right now. Getting up and down is a chore. Let's not even talk about trying to use the head....

I actually locked myself out of the house so I had to get a ladder and cat-burgler my way in. That was a site to behold I'm sure.

I've arranged a rub-down for you, Mr Koehler.  If you'd just like to step through the curtain, Miss H will be with you shortly...

Congrats, MLK. Shaving that much time off is a big milestone.
You should be proud of yourself, you set a goal, worked hard, and accomplished it! :-) Now you ride the post-marathon high for the next week or so..
