Re: Man, the off season sucks!!! ...

im running the pittsburgh marathon on may 2nd...look for the first person to cross the finish line and that is me............

well maybe not the first but maybe the third or fourth

A full marathon?? Wow, have NO desire to train that hard.

haha. yea ive always been more of a few miles after lifting, but my wife runs them and I want to beat her, so thats what im striding for....i actually have enjoyed the training, run 2 hours saturday morning and get about 20 some miles in during the week.....i think this will be my one and only

^^ I did my one and only 2 years ago. My back seized up at mile 17, and I was like the Hunchback of Notre Dame crossing the finish line. I had a temp of 104.9 in the med tent, probably (I'm guessing) because my mechanics for the last 8 miles or so were so inefficient, generated more heat than power.

After that I decided to stop all exercise, and just drink heavily!

haha, see that is what im scared of, i have run 15 miles in my training so far, and with that I have not been hurt at all, I am working my way to 26.2, but I hope i dont hit a wall or have any problems because running 8 miles in pain would be horrible, way to hang it tought though.....3 months away.
