Amazing what you can do running from the cops.

Thanks guys, it felt great. It would've bumped me from 40th to 29th. Looks like a pace in the 6's gets me into the cream of the crop. At only 36 seconds a mile, it's certainly not out of the question. My next goal is to run a 10k but that will change my running dramatically. I'll need to pull back on the reigns to go that distance.

Nice job Todd!

Just dropping a note to say that I've finished 8 weeks of P90X so far. Last 3 weeks have been extra hard as I caused a flare up in an old injury from wakeboarding but didn't want to mess with my 90 day run. Last week was recovery week so I got a lot better. The real test will be this week.

I got a physical this morning so I'm interested to see what the results of all of this clean eating the past 4 months (super strict the past 8 weeks) and exercise does to my stats. Hoping for a bump in "good" cholesterol as it was low last time.

Did my first marathon yesterday. 4:35. With a 2:00 split at 13.1 miles. It was a very hilly course with 8 substantial hills. Went out too fast and paid the price in the second half. But it was definitely the hardest thing I've ever done. The last 6 miles were pure hell

That takes some real will to do man. I bet your blood work looks great.

You are a beast man. That's a real accomplishment. A huge congrats to you!

I'm still sticking to my good habits. I've been feeling off lately with way less energy so I'm going in to get a physical myself tomorrow to be safe.

Thanks Todd! My body is tired too. Your body has to rest and recover, if it doesn't our muscles can't rebuild and grow, then you'll get injuries I was lucky to make it thru 4 months of 35-45 miles a week of running and 2-3 days a week of lifting without injury. I always took Fridays off and that's all I needed. I will get back running very light this weekend and lifting probably today. I did lose 6lbs in one day and it won't be hard to get it back. Only want to gain about 3 back

I think that may be part of it. My legs were aching last week. Between all my hunting and running I've been busy. It's tough to convince myself to take days off from work outs. It's just hard wired like taking a shower or brushing my teeth at this point.
