Hey gang - thanks but I either explained it poorly or you are misunderstanding me. I didn't complete the 50 states today. I just added the state of Wisconsin to my list. I'm not for certain how many states I have completed without seeing my list back home but it's in the teens. I have repeated several states so they don't "count." All but 1 of my marathons has been under 4 hours so some day I'll have to repeat Virgina. I missed that one by 30 seconds on a bad race day.
Upcoming Marathons
St. George - October 4, 2014; Grand Rapids Marathon - October 19, 2014; Louisville Urban Bourbon (Half) Marathon - October 26, 2014; Philadelphia Marathon - November 23, 2014; Houston Chevron Marathon - January 18, 2015; Surf City (CA) Marathon - Feb 01, 2015; Boston Marathon - April 20, 2015
Post 50 PRs: Full: 3:27 HM: 1:37 15k: 1:07:04 10k: 43:59 5k: 20:40
Hey everyone, way behind on posting, but family was a priority this weekend.
Congratulations to HTed and Clay! Good racing in some tough conditions, especially the hot weather up in Green Bay. Clay, don't underestimate how much the marathon took out of you. Just as an example, after my one and only marathon in the fall of 2011, it was well into 2012 before I felt like my running was as it should be. I know others run multiple marathons (HTed and Venom, to name two around here) without suffering too badly, so maybe there is something different about running your first, but don't feel bad about not beating your PR on this one. LIke Mark said, you are easily in the 1:45 range given a not-too-hilly course and decent weather. Heck, with your age and ability, 1:45 will seem like an insult soon.
clint - guilty. If I'm not at work or running, I'm probably either cooking, watching the cooking channel or food network, or thinking about food. Yeah, so I also like going out to eat. Oh, and then there is wine and beer, but really, that also related in some way to food. Hmm, suddenly, I'm hungry. And I do enjoy recommending restaurants to people, ...but then I worry they won't like it.
So here's my summary of the end of the week's running:
Thursday - 8.2 miles
Saturday - 7 miles
Sunday - 5.8 miles
Sunday I went out at the peak temperature because I foolishly thought this was a good idea. After all, I need to build up my heat tolerance, right? I hate the heat (Mark, I'm totally with you on this one). By the end of the run, I was running between shady spots and walking in the shade (we'll just call it a modified Galloway run-walk technique).
29 miles for the week, which is probably more than I should be doing, but no ill-effects so far.
5K - 22:35 Creekside Middle School Cat Race 2012
Half Marathon - 1:43:53 Monumental Half Marathon 2012
Marathon - 3:53:58 Monumental Marathon 2011
9+ easy with 6x:30 hill sprints, decent xfit workout
I have given up on lifting anything heavy while running higher mileage, it just aint gonna happen. I think Mark is starting to rub off on me on this heat deal. Felt like I was melting out there.
Bo-I am the same way, love to cook. But my choices of restuerant around where I live pretty much sucks compared to Indy.
later taters
Elliptical plus 1.5 miles on the TM followed by pilates. The run was a little test on my foot. I didn't feel it at all and so far no swelling. Tomorrow I will run outside hopefully before DH heads to work.
Ted--congratulations on your race! Glad your group survived the heat.
RF--safe travels! Your pics are making me wish I could go to the beach too!
Bo--nice week. Sounds like your knee is holding up.
Clint--yeah it is humid!
Rod--nice run and "cross-training"
edit--Jill--Sounds like a busy weekend with lots of activity! I did the laying around part yesterday too, but in a tankini!
Everyone else--hi! Have a great day!
Upcoming Races:
Indianapolis Monumental Marathon (November 1)
PR: Half 1:53:10 (Carmel Half Marathon April 2013)
It's a lot cooler in Boston than here...
Jill: great weekend - running, biking, roller skating...
msol: any idea what caused the swelling? Very strange. Hopefully it won't resurface tomorrow.
Clint: we will get used to it.
Bo: 29 miles? You snuck your mileage up there without me noticing.
Ted: don't know how you did 26.2 at that pace in this kind of weather.
Rod: and I don't know how you guys run in the afternoon either...
Mark: you're starting to get pretty consistent with your running. Shalane is hot and all that but Desi is the real future for American distance running (male and female) until Rupp decides to do 26.2.
RF: sounds like a great time but pics are always welcome (well, let's not raise the speedo issue again).
Stephanie: 3 days a week is a smart conservative plan.
Clay: read your RR - seems like you had a good race except around mile 10. Bo's right about the full really draining you.
Upcoming Races
Monumental Marathon - 1 November 2014
Half: 1:35:03 (One America 500 Festival Half Marathon - 3 May 2014)
Full: 3:26:14 (Indy Monumental - 2 November 2013)
Rest day.
Ted, ya, I was confused. Anyways, you're well on your way to your 50 in sub-4 goal!
Bo, nice week. Not sure I'll ever go out for a run during the hottest part of a day on purpose, haha!
Clint, nice 9'er plus hills and xfit. I am currently lifting pretty heavily, but my miles are only in the upper teens (20'ish this week). Not sure I'll be able to keep it up when I get into the 30's or 40's. And, yes, trail runs are in my plans coming up soon... maybe this week if the rain holds off.
Jill, sounds like a fun/busy weekend!
ANT, nice 6'er. Glad you got home safely. I agree about Desi. A year or two ago, I was hoping that her/Shalane/Kara would all 3 form some sort of fantastic trio for American Marathoning (and HM'ing).... hasn't quite happened yet, but maybe it still can once they're all healthy and back to 100%. The American (born) men are a bit of a joke internationally right now outside of Rupp.
Mark O.
Oct. 26, 2014 - That Dam(n) Run- Half Marathon
Feb. 7, 2015 - American Canyon 50k
4.5 slow miles this morning in the sticky humidity. Hammie is doing okay, but I think it still needs some more rest. Also taught yoga and did some ST.
Ted- You can come run Shamrock VA Beach with me and Ami next year... we will make it a little party
Sorry I don't have time to comment on everyone- sounds like you all have been busy!
Shamrock Marathon March 22, 2015
3 miles on the Canal, and I threw in some hill sprints too. Yep, that's what I said. Nice and hot and humid.
Stephanie - give that hammie the rest it needs, girl.
Mark - nice rest day.
ANT - you will appreciate this: I was looking up some of Matt Fitzgerald's marathon plans this weekend. The longest weekday run is something like 6 miles. The longest LR is 22 miles. You would have had a fit.
Michelle - that's good news about your foot.
Jill - that sounds like a spectacular weekend.
Clay - great race report. I can't believe that you walked back instead of taking the bus!! That's a tough course. I'm not sure I'll run it again.
Ted - And great race from you too in some tough conditions.

Tea? Beer?
I noticed the bottle of habanero sauce.
oh, round 2 of cross training disguised as mowing tonight....

I need a slow friend!
I know this week was very unconventional training, but something is working for me! I'm running faster than ever, more often than ever.
Mark, I almost cracked open a cold one this afternooon, but thought better of it because I had yoga tonight.
Which, btw, was just me and the instructor this evening, so we did some more challenging balance and handstand positions than what we would have done if some of the other gals were there. It was a lot of fun, and it was the first time I was truly hot (temperature) at yoga!
Sandy, nice canal 3 w/ hill sprints! Love me some hills, once I'm at the top!
Steph, nice slow 4.5 plus yoga & ST. I stepped up my ST last week, and plan to do more of the same this week.
ANT, nice 6! Glad you made it back home.
Michelle, nice elliptical, 1.5, & pilates! Glad your foot is doing better after today's run.
Clint, nice 9+ w/ hill sprints, & xfit! Forgot to answer your question about the HM a week ago. It was the Run for Fun in Warsaw, IN. I think this was the second year for the half; in previous years it was a 5k & 10k. I think I mentioned to everyone here that the course was a b****, and it wasn't well-volunteered. Warsaw sucks for crowd support; I don't think anyone knew about it or what it means to have a race come through your neighborhood. I hope the RD contacts me so I can share my thoughts about a better course and better public awareness. If he doesn't, I'll certainly be sending him an email.
Bo, nice running end to your week! You had quite the weekly mileage on a bum knee. Must be doing okay? Or you're just gonna tear it up and hope for a bionic knee?! I've been telling DH for a long time now, if I ever develop bad knees and can't run, I want cheetah legs like Oscar Pistorius. ( I know, he's gotten some negative attention because of his girlfriend's death, but that doesn't make him any less of an amazing runner.)
RF, looking forward to having you back up in here this week!
9.49 @ 8:49 with 8x200 sprints all in :41-43
xfit-dead lifts, thrusters, kettlebell, etc
Jill-Nice running! When is your next race? Hopefully soon.
Sandy-Good job on the hills and canal. What sparked the hills idea?
Steph-Good 4.5. Rachel and I always wanted to run Shamrock(me running, her going to the beach) It never works out with kids though.
Mark-nice uh, curls.
ANT-What kind of mileage you planning on for IMM? Got a plan in place?
just checking in on everyone.
I'm baaaaaack.........we had way too much fun again!! I love going there so much; we've been so many times it kind of has that "home" feel whenever we're there! The water was pretty much perfect temp for swimming, DH got to scuba, our friends had fun, ate my weight in fish, not much to complain about!!
Funny how running there when it's hot is nothing like running here when it's hot though....I'm dreading my run tonight in the hot, humid 84 temps.....in case you people have forgotten I'm definitely with Mark on the hot summer runs; I'd rather suffer through a TM run most of the time. Tonight I really need to lift weights though so I'm going to try and force myself to run/walk/crawl through about 4 miles in the humidity before lifting. I had a text from my MIL when we got back in the states yesterday that my in-laws and my parents are coming up for the weekend on Friday so I've got to scramble to get my house ready and projects lined up for my FIL to work on....we desperately need to re-stain our deck so I'm going to have him strip it and do a few repairs to some boards and since my mom has the greenest thumb ever I'm going to have her re do a flower bed in the backyard by the fence. Since they will be here all weekend I may have to put off my LR until Sunday evening when they leave or do it Monday. I'm just going to get as many miles as I can in this week before they come. I only ended up with I think 15 total last week which is pathetic, but at least I was active.
Here are a couple pics so if you end up hating me, well, so be it....hahahaha........this was a speedo free day (although I saw a guy by the pool one day wearing one that made me want to poke my eyes out...)oh and disregard the out of control beach hair...I'd been swimming and there's no containing it after that.....
Don't hassle me...I'm STILL slow....
5k - cant remember 27 ish minutes
10k - cant remember and want to forget anyway....54ish minutes
Half Marathon -want to forget but forever burned in my memory 2:00:31 (Indy mini 2012)
Full Marathon - Disney 2014 5:08 (told you it would be sloowwww)
Quick check in. Cut my run short because my foot was hurting. Boo again. So 1 mile run and 30 min on the elliptical, some core and weights and because DS's best friend showed up at the gym and he wanted to play, I added 20 minutes on the bike!
Ran 4 miles today. Yes on the TM.
Sandy/Rod, ya, it was not tea... and that is habenero sauce. We were at El Jaripeo on E. Washington St... that's our current favorite local Mexican restaurant.
Jill, great week last week. As for your too fast LR,,, sometimes if you're "feeling it," you just gotta go with it!
Clint, nice 9+ with sprints and xfit. My XX curls were nice!
RF, glad your travels were safe and fun. Pics are awesome. 15 miles isn't too bad, just a nice cut back week. When I go to a place with a nice beach and clear water, I usually log a fat 0, lol.
msol, sorry about the foot. Might be time to get it checked out if you haven't already?
2.5 miles on the canal. Just trying to re-acclimate myself to running 5-times a week and this heat. And it's not even hot yet.
Mark - wow I totally thought the beverage was something from your juice machine. I'm so innocent . Nice TM 4.
Michelle - dang, maybe it's your shoes.
rf - look at that stud standing next to you....looks like you had fun.
clint - I've been reading some Matt Fitzgerald writings and he advocates hill sprints because they are less likely to cause injury compared to regular sprinting. Plus they improve form and leg strength. The canal lacks hills, but there are a couple of ramps that I tried out. I kind of liked it.
Jill - numbers, numbers, numbers...all I can see is that you are faster than me. And I think I remember you talking about that race last year.
Rod - those bleachers seem to stay up for like a month after the parade!
In a light rain for the most part. The rain stopped at the very end.
Clint: I've drawn up a bunch of different plans for myself and I'm mulling them over. Last year I started at 50 mpw and gradually built to 70 mpw although I only did 2 weeks at 70. This year I will build my mileage up as far as possible in June and then take a CB week and then start training in July hopefully at 55-60. I want to get to 70 mpw as fast as possible and maintain it for as many weeks as possible. 70 is my max in terms of work and family constraints.
Sandy: so you're not cutting back days like you thought? Which Fitzgerald book are you looking at? Hudson and Fitzgerald is pretty good. In my view the important thing is not the length of the longest midweek run but just how much running you do during the week. You can log a bunch of 6s and get the same effect.
Mark: good job on the DM 4. Maybe Hall will get better under Canova. That beer looks good. I think I'll have one right now. And I mean now.
msol: the elliptical is great XT. Maybe do a little one miler every 2-3 days to see what's up. No rush as you have no races planned.
RF: gorgeous pics!
Bird: hello to you too.
Jill: it's off-season so do whatever the heck you want.
Stephanie: good job on the 4.5.
You can log a bunch of 6s and get the same effect.
I'm so innocent .
I do think I remember something about no pants and date night? Don't sound too innocent to me...
BD-Just when I was feeling fast in here again, you show up. Lol! Good to here from you, hows your training?
RF-Jealous of your Bahamas.
msol-take some rest days!
Good morning! There is no swelling in my foot and I take that as a sign I can probably ease my mileage back up. I decided to hold off on going to the doctor. I really think that my DS did some kind of trauma to my tendon when he stepped on my foot (and sort of twisted, so it was really painful and why I remember it) and running in shoes that were high miles exacerbated it. Like Ant said, I have no races coming up so I think I have some time to see how it goes.
We are closing on our house refinance this morning and with lot of other errands, today might be a rest day. I am looking forward to this weekend. My sister's family is visiting and I have not met my 9 month old nephew. Can't wait!
Had some delicious rolls and edamame at Sakura last night! Thanks for the recommendations.
Clint--You are still fast. I have no idea how you can be "fat" with the doubles and xfit.
Sandy--nah, I really like the Brooks. Sounds like you are being encouraged to run two laps of the canal!
Mark--Nice 4!
RF--I think that is the kind of beach hair everyone wants. Great pics. Good luck getting your mileage in this week!
Jill--Awesome week. Hope you are recovering from all your speediness!
Rod--noticed you did the Purdue half last year--how was it?
Ant--nice 8! The elliptical makes me feel like I am in jail but I really don't want to go backwards in my cardio fitness.
Stephanie--I think I am relating to your frustration more and more. Good job on the run this week!
Ted and Bo--hi!
4 miles done last night; didn't particularly "enjoy" it, but it was only about 81 and a few clouds so temp wise I didn't die....my calves are still tight and sore from the hill sprints and the long walk DH and I took on the beach on Sunday in some very wet sand....I had almost forgotten about that but after running last night remembered thinking while we were on the walk, "I'm probably going to be sore from this"....lifted weights for about 45 min. afterward; I've got sore abs today too. Geesh, take a few days off and I feel like my whole body went to crap....tonight I'd like to get 5-6 miles in and do some more core/hip. My MIL texted me again last night and said now they aren't coming up until Saturday which actually helps my running schedule I'll be able to get in the fun run Friday evening and probably even fit in 6-8 miles Sat. a.m. before they get here. That will definitely make me feel better....I love seeing them but it's a little stressful having all of them here at once so a run beforehand would be appreciated. Only about a week left to the 5k at Sunburst and DH is falling grossly behind on his "training plan"....hahahaha....Lord help me, I need to stop giggling....he could still surprise me and beat me I keep telling him he better go buy some new shoes so he has a little time to break them in; it's like trying to shop with a little kid - he hates it...
Michelle - glad the foot is feeling better! I hear you on feeling imprisoned on the elliptical but I have to say that if you are injured that thing will SAVE you cardio-wise.....I think that's the only reason I maintained a reasonable level of fitness for the 4 months or so I couldn't run much if at all. And like others said at least you don't have a race to worry about right now.
Mark - nice job on the 4 even if it was inside.....next week looks like a fair amount of 90's around here so that's where I'll end up.....I'm super glad I'm only running the 5k at Sunburst because the early forecast looks HOT....a couple years ago when it was that hot they black flagged the race by around 10am which left a lot of marathoners and some half-ers out of luck.....oh, and re: the beer pic....we should let everybody know that when you juice there IS foam at the top so it could have been.....haha....
Clint - can you still lift weights but just not as heavy? I don't really lift anything "heavy" (especially not like you anyway...) but I think it just adds too much to not do it at all....plus it really helps your metabolism.
ANT - I'm tired just thinking about 50 miles per week, and 70 just sounds impossible to me...I think my legs would fall off.
Sandy - yeah, I kinda like that guy...think I'll keep him
Jill - woman your workouts wear me out too just reading about them....I'd never keep up with you!
Bird - hey.....no races on the horizon?
Stephanie - just hang in there....there's magical healing going on in there and soon it will be back to normal and you'll be complaining about how hot it is to run 16 miles
Bo - that was a pretty good mileage week you had last week! Your knee must not be bothering you too much!
sorry if I missed people, I'll check back later...
Good morning all.
So as not to make Sandy feel lonely running the Canal, I headed down there for a short run this morning. Did the entire route just to show myself that I could. Pace was about as it had been. But it was extremely muggy and there was a light mist at times. Didn't cut out the humidity. Whew. 4 miles total running. Didn't have to dodge bleachers. None of them jumped out to try to scare me.
Michelle-Purdue Half was okay. Course was challenging-down the hill on one side of Ross-Ade to start and then back uphill in the last mile to the parking lot at the end. Throw in doing the bridges to leave West Lafayette into downtown Lafayette and back and you have the challenge. They changed the original course to take out a few killer hills about a month before the race. Good thing my wife lived in Lafayette for 25 years and knows the city pretty well. They have a different course this year that takes the Stadium completely out of play. My biggest complaint was the lack of Powerade/Gatorade at the end of the race. The concession tent had Coke products. By time I got there, no cookies, no bagels, only Quaker granola bars. Oh and no bananas. My recovery was going to Arni's. I doubt I will run again. At least not this year, given the house situation.
Mark-I'll need some tips on good Mexican places when we move. We like the El Rodeo chain, but we really don't seem to like the one at Franklin and Thompson. Service is, meh.
Hello to the rest of you.
RF- too many races on the schedule.
clint- i took a few days off to get a mental & physical break after the long training cycle leading up to all the races earlier this month. I also backed away all of the running websites & a training group I met with a couple times a week just to remove some of the outside distractions & pressures for this next cycle. hence my disappearance from here. I won't check in daily anymore, but I'll look in & lurk a couple times a week & say hello every once in a while.
but I'm back at it with a good 10 week schedule now to get me thru a solid summer & have had some pretty encouraging signs already. I was part of a 7 hour-relay co-ed team last Wednesday that put up 62 miles during the race. I ended up running 13 of the 62 in various distances throughout the day & averaged about 6:02/mi, which I felt pretty good about considering how horribly hot & windy it was. I got a blistering sunburn from being out there all day. I turned around on Sat & won a little local 5k in a fairly slow time. It was between me & a local 18 y.o. guy pretty much from the start, with a few stragglers holding on for about a mile or so, but they didnt take too well to the late hills & I won easily by about a minute.
Like I said, I'll keep checking in from time to time just to see how everyone is doing & where everyone is running.
60 mins. ST/core and 45 mins. elliptical this morning. Tough workout, but good too. The only 'problem' with our YMCA is that the workout/cardio area are upstairs and thusly pretty warm... which is no big deal for s/t, but for cardio/running, it's very warm and tough to keep your normal paces... my wife is finding this out the hard way, hehe!
Sandy, good 2.5 on the Canal. I'm doing 4 days per week right now. Once I get every day up to 5 miles for all 4 runs in a week or two, I'll up it to 5 days per week... then, eventually 6 so I can get back up into the 40 mpw range for Monumental HM... I'm just hoping the numbers on the scale go down as the numbers on my running plan go up!!
Clint, send me a link or email me that Hanson 100 mpw plan... I just want to see it and MAYBE do 1/2 of it later in the year, lol!
ANT, nice drizzly 8'er. I'm hoping so much that you're correct about the Hall/Canova hookup. I'm thinking this is his last chance to matter on the world stage. Hope you enjoyed your cerveza!
Michelle, glad the swelling is down! Hopefully it was just a minor traumatic injury from the kiddo and it's healing up. Like RF says, the elliptical is a good way to keep the cardio up... hope your busy day goes well... and glad you enjoyed Sakura!! Love the Sushi!!
RF, good 4 last night. Don't tell my wife, but I hate it when my in-laws visit... the cleaning DW makes me do gives me some horrific flashbacks of basic training, lol! Hope the Sunburst forecast gets cooler for you.... Also, I agree about the elliptical... it's a good alternative to keep up the cardio... I believe in it enough that I'm still doing it even though I'm back to running regularly.
Rod, nice muggy Canal 4. We used to go to the El Rodeo on Franklin, but their service caused us to stop going there. We noticed/caught one of their regular waiters over-charging our debit card by exactly $1.00 on 2 or 3 occasions over the course of a couple of weeks... I guess he figures people won't check the bill that closely since they're paying with plastic... I corrected him each time, but he kept doing it... so we're not going back there again. For now, El Jaripeo on E. Washington (just east of Wash. Sq. mall) is getting our business... it's pretty similar to El Rodeo,,, perhaps even owned by the same people/company??
BD, good to hear from you. I think we all take a little break from the site from time to time to refresh the batteries... maybe just post once per week during your break so we know you're doing ok.
Rod--thanks for that info! I lived all over campus and think it might be neat to run past a lot of my old haunts. I finished in 4 years but worked in Lafayette over the summer and a little after graduation before I moved to Indy.
Mark - I go back and forth between whether I should be running 4 or 5 days. I want to run 5 days a week but my body prefers 4 days a week. Not the only circumstance in which those two entities have been in conflict.
Rod - but bleachers don't hiss at you, unlike a what a certain goose did to me today. Bastard.
rf - those back-from-vacation runs are suuuuch fun.
Michelle - some of these boys want me to run dozens of laps of the canal, apparently.
clint - 100 mpw, where w=Wednesday, right? I could do 4 months of Wednesdays totaling 100 miles, easy. . If you are going to send that plan to Mark, send it to me too or put it on Facebook. Would be good for a laugh.
ANT - you are confusing me now. You said that in Higdon's plans, the weekday miles aren't enough to support the weekend LRs. Now you are saying 6 miles are enough. The Fitzgerald books I've been reading are The Runner's Edge: High-Tech Training for Peak Performance (ISBN:0736081152) and the plan that I referenced was in The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition (ISBN: 9780738216454).
am-My loving wife graciously volunteered me for Ethan's field day at school. I spent the morning getting soaked by a sprinkler and freezing to death. She has huge payback coming her way
pm-xfit I did my first muscle-up. whoop! whoop! For those that dont know what a muscle-up is, here's a link fast forward to :25-
Sandy-I will try to post some of that plan, its pretty crazy. If you really want to do more, the first thing would be to make your all your runs be at least 40 minutes. Next, would be to build a mid-week run to 1.5 hrs. then if you want to keep going, build a second one to 1.5 hrs.
RF-Yes, the amount of weight I can lift goes down as mileage goes up. Sooner or later, I am gonna half to scaling some of the xfit workouts so I can hit my running workouts.
msol-Ok, most people wouldnt consider my fat, but I do carry an extra 10ish lbs that I dont need.
This is first week of "taper" Lol!-
Monday- Easy 12
3x3 miles @
current half

The plan is in pdf, how would I post it? I am an idiot with computers.
Clint, email it to me and I'll figure out the .pdf thing... I'll PM my email addy.
Mark/Sandy-I think I sent it to you guys.
Hip thing is still there. It feels tight and slightly sore when I do ITB stretches but it doesn't register at all when I am running. I don't feel it at all. I think I've had this before and it just goes away one day mysteriously. Anyway not really an injury.
Mark and Clint: or you could just look at Luke Humphrey's training in the back of the Hanson's book. It's actually pretty interesting. I've noticed that I need 2 easy days in between really hard workouts and what do you know - they are on a 9 day cycle where they do 1 hard run followed by 2 easy days.
Sandy: I didn't even know about those books. The problem with Fitzgerald is that he seems to change his mind every time he writes another one. I have Brain Training and his book with Hudson. The key thing for every marathoner is to get their mileage up. That will improve performance. When you do a 20 mile LR in a 43 mile week that 20 is going to be a real trek and the probability of injury is high. So you want to get your midweek mileage up. Ideally you would do some longer runs during the week as Clint says but if you can't do that for whatever reason (e.g. it's too hot) then splitting the same mileage into equal length runs is the next best thing.
Rod: good job on the 4.
msol: I didn't know DS stepped on your foot. I can handle the elliptical as long as I have some good music. But I haven't been on one in at least a couple of years.
RF: so what are the chances he wins? You could do that mileage if you had the time. I didn't think I could do it either but you can. I think that any healthy person around our age can do up to 60 mpw as long as you build smartly.
Whew! What a day! A very active day! I'm pooped. After a morning client, my fast friend and I ran 3.3 miles at a lightning pace of 7:33avg, where the first mile was 8:12, and the final mile was 7:08. After stretches we did kettlebells. It wasn't too strenuous. Lunch. Another client. 6.48 mile bike ride in just under 30 minutes. Then a strength/some light cardio workout for mostly shoulders and back. Of course the dog needed to be walked when we got home. Currently I'm enjoying the sound of the waves on the lake, the light breeze, and a Sam Adams porter. I think I earned it today!
DH is away on business at the Masters Waterski Tournament in Georgia this week. He used to compete in slalom skiing, so this trip is totally interesting for him. Plus, I think he's going golfing tomorrow or Friday.
Mark, great workouts today! Even if the upstairs is warm, the humidity is under control, right?
BD, nice to hear from you! Every body needs a break, so listen to it well, and enjoy your down time. Check in when you can. That relay sounds pretty intense! Way to win the 5k!
Rod, nice canal 4!
RF, nice 4 for you as well! How nice that you get to regularly visit the Bahamas! Can I say "slightly jealous"?! You'll get your workout groove back soon. How's the hip? Haven't heard you say much about it lately.
Michelle, glad your foot is okay! I was going to say, "yay for snuggling a baby," but 9-month-olds aren't really interested in snuggling as much. I'm sure you're going to have a wonderful time with family. I think what will help me the most is if I slept more.
ANT, nice 8! I don't mind rain if I've been out for a while and I'm on my way back home, but I do not choose to go run in the rain. It's semi-off-season; I have one more race scheduled, the sunburst 10k. I would like to set a new PR this year, I think it has to be under 49 minutes to be a PR, but with the way things have been going these past couple of weeks, I don't think I have anything to worry about. So, I'm in sort-of training. I care, but I'm not worried or concerned.
Sandy, nice canal run! No, it's not hot yet but it sure feels warm compared to the early cool spring we had for so long. Yes, this year will be #4 for me at the sunburst 10k.
Clint, oh man, sorry about the field day! But way cool about the muscle up! Those look tough.
CLICK HERE to see the Hanson 80-100 mpw plan from Clint!
Week 1 starts on Page 18... just a measly 80 miles that week, lol!
ANT, nice 6'er. Glad the hip doesn't bother you running,,, hope it goes away soon. I have occasionally thought of going to a 9-10 day rotation as I've read it is beneficial for those of us over 40 y/o,,, but, when I go to write a schedule, my OCD mind just doesn't allow for it, haha!
Jill, speedy run today! Especially that 7:08 last mile! Good bike ride too. And, yes, the humidity is under control, it's just a little warm with the whole "warm air rises" thing I suppose. It's not too bad for the elliptical or bikes,,, but for running, it's a challenge to keep your normal pace for too long as I'm sure it's at least in the mid 70's up there.
Morning all. Well my right ankle has been really bitchy lately and I took 3 days off to rest it and finally went out last night for an easy 4. Well today I am hobbling and have it wrapped in an ace bandage so it looks like an extended time off now for it. Timing really sucks since I have to start getting serious again for Chicago in mid June for a modified Higdon 16 week plan.
If anyone is so inclined I am running for Team Opportunity Enterprises again this year and doing the fundraising thing. I am hesitant about posting the fundraising link since it does violate the terms of use here at RWOL so I will just say PM me if you are interested in donating.

On a quest for Iridium level

Backers of a proposed California ballot initiative on marijuana legalization say they have gathered more than enough petition signatures to put the question before voters in 2010, Bloomberg reported Dec. 15.
Salwa Irbrahim, a spokesperson for initiative organizers, said more than 680,000 signatures have been collected; only 433,971 are needed to qualify for the ballot.
The "Tax, Regulate and Control Cannabis Act of 2010" would allow adults 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and cultivate limited amounts of marijuana for personal consumption.
California already allows medical use of marijuana, and recent polls show that a majority of state residents would support full legalization and taxation of the drug. A legalization bill also has been introduced in the state legislature.
The Secretary of State's office still must verify the signatures before certifying the ballot initiative.

Saint Augustine's University celebrated the dedication of its Confucius Classroom on campus Thursday, Aug. 25. The Confucius Classroom at Saint Augustine's University is the first of its kind at a Historically Black University or University. It is one of three Confucius Classrooms under North Carolina State University's Confucius Institute. The other classrooms are at Central Carolina Community University in Sanford and Enloe High School in Raleigh. The Confucius Classroom will offer classes in Chinese language and culture for the campus community and the community at large.
"The establishment of a Confucius Classroom at Saint Augustine's University is in line with our institutional mission of preparing students to be competitive in an increasingly globalized society," said President Dianne Boardley Suber.
The Confucius Institute's mission is to promote intercultural understanding between the U.S. and China, said Dr. Bailian Li, director of N.C. State's Confucius Institute. Programs like the Confucius Institute support President Barack Obama's initiative to send 100,000 U.S. students to China to study.
Saint Augustine's University's Confucius Classroom is the culmination of a partnership between Saint Augustine's University and N.C. State that began in 2009, which is when Saint Augustine's University students began traveling to China along with N.C. State students to study at the Nanjing Normal University. Leaders at both schools said they are excited to be able to offer the same instruction to people locally.
"This is an opportunity to bring China here to Raleigh — bringing the global to the local," said Anna Lamm, deputy director for the Confucius Institute at N.C. State.

The world of design is finding itself in the middle of a transition of thinking. The transition has been happening for a while now: Design is no longer solely concerned with color, type and image. To thrive in the future, designers must sharpen their strategy skills now. The Strategic Designer will help you do just that, with clear instruction and explanatory case studies.
You'll learn to:
Containing interviews with some of the most respected names in design (Dave Mason, Tim Larson, Stefan Bucher, Ellen Shapiro and more), The Strategic Designer looks to help designer's become experts in their profession as whole, not just designing. By adopting a process that considers collaboration, context and accountability, designers move from "makers of things" to "design strategists."
I got to meet Dave at the last HOW Live event and sat in on one of his workshops – he's the real deal. He's able to simplify concepts of design – and just as importantly, client relationships – in ways that took me years to really figure out. Very helpful and just generally an excellent guide to work from.

Benelli launches yet another bomb with their R160 Café Racer wearing the "TNT" initials. While the "bomb" range is already famous for its performance, the new model represents the apogee for the naked line of products of the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Benelli as this is the most powerful TNT model bragging with as much as 155 horsepower developed by the 1130 inline triple engine.
This, together with the bike's aggressive design characterized by stylish lines and carbon fiber parts, makes the new Benelli quite a competitor for the Ducati Streetfighter .
Rumors say the thing will start at $17,000, but there's no official word on that yet.

The situation is this: I am making system for synchronizing databases between separate locations. So I created program that creates triggers for update and delete operations on those tables that are defined to be subject of synchronization. The inserts are taken care of with timestamp.
This works perfectly with SQL Server 2008, however users of our ERP system also use SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. So I tested my system in those environments also, and to my surprise, I found out that updating a primary key or a part of the primary key with the same value, triggers my triggers on tables that have this key as their foreign key. This does not happen in SQL Server 2008.
Just in case I did not made myself clear, say table1 has a primary key pk1 and Table2 has pk2 but also fk1 which references the pk1 from t1. Both have triggers on update and on delete. If I write update table1 set pk1='123' where pk1='123'
In sql server 2008 I only get
(1 row(s) affected)
In sql server 2005 I get :
(3194 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected)
where 3194 was a number of rows in table2 that had 123 as its foreign key.
Does anybody knows why this happens this way?

Matt Whitfield ♦♦
Do you have CASCADE DELETE and/or CASCADE UPDATE set to something else than "Do nothing" on the FK in SQL2005?
Nov 05, 2009 at 06:20 AM Håkan Winther
Sorry Hakan I didn't see you'd already said pretty much the same thing :)
Nov 05, 2009 at 06:22 AM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
Script out the foreign key, it's entirely likely you'll see that the FK has ON UPDATE CASCADE and/or ON DELETE CASCADE set in 2008, but not in the other environments. See my answer on this question for more info.
answered Nov 05, 2009 at 06:22 AM
Matt Whitfield ♦♦
The databases are exactly the same, literally.(both have on update cascade on table2). And this happens regardless of which table it is (there are a lot of tables in database that have primary keys that serve as foreign keys in other tables)
Nov 05, 2009 at 06:34 AM Dimitrije
Ok, next thing to check - are the triggers in the 2008 database disabled? SELECT * FROM [sys].[triggers] WHERE [is_disabled] = 1
It's possible too that the database options 'recursive triggers enabled' or 'nested triggers enabled' might be affecting this, if the original operation is started by a trigger.
Nov 05, 2009 at 12:42 PM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
They are not. In fact they work the same way in both databases when I'm updating table1 with a different value. The difference only occurs when I'm updating with a same value.
Nov 06, 2009 at 11:16 AM Dimitrije
It's annoying that you can't put code in comments, but I've just create a test table on 2008, and when I update the primary key with the same value, the trigger fires as expected. Can you amend your question with some simple SQL that reproduces the issue?
Nov 06, 2009 at 11:23 AM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
As far as I can see, this looks to me like an optimisation in SQL Server 2008 which prevents the update from cascading down when there is no update to be made. However - I have to ask - is this a particular problem? Both of your triggers are coded to ignore the changes anyway, so is it causing you an issue? I will research more on the cause.
Nov 06, 2009 at 01:17 PM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
I doubt very much that this is cause by a difference in how SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 function.
I suspect it's in your code or settings. Check all your code and all your server/database/table settings. There has to be a difference somewhere.

Although it looks like an issue , is it really a problem ?. Is the data correct in both circumstances ?
answered Nov 06, 2009 at 05:02 PM
dave ballantyne
This is the only reproducible thing that I pinpointed, the problem however, happens on our alfa testers system(a real business environment). It hasn't yet caused actual problem (other than error logs), because of the design of the database all unnecessary t-sql couldn't be executed anyway. So all that has been affected so far are increased bandwidth overhead and multiplication of error logs. But I'm afraid I cannot envision all possible scenarios that can arise.
Nov 13, 2009 at 06:04 AM Dimitrije
Strictly speaking you should "Set nocount on" anyway. This will solve your issues , as the output from both systems will now match, ie there will be NO reporting of (XX Rows Affected). Plus there will a small decrease in network usage.
Nov 13, 2009 at 06:20 AM dave ballantyne
Reporting is not the problem, the triggers triggered is the problem. Besides, in my sp's I do set nocount ON. This was a t-sql typed into SMS. PS. Thanks everyone for the effort, especially Matt and Dave, though we haven't solved the problem, our exchange helped me better understand it.

EcoTech Marine: Easy-Ionizer
Lehigh University, 2003 - $8,380
Reef aquariums aim to create thriving ecosystems by growing and reproducing corals and invertebrates. To aid in that process the EcoTech Marine E-Team developed the Easy-Ionizer, a device that simplifies reef-keeping by using automation to create a stable marine environment.
In order to properly care for fish and other aquatic organisms contained within a reef aquarium, proper and stable water chemistry is required. Typical daily chores of maintaining a reef aquarium include topping off the tank with fresh water and supplementing calcium and alkalinity. The Easy-Ionizer automatically combines the multiple chores of freshwater top off and calcium and alkalinity supplementation, consolidating two otherwise expensive products into one package.
The E-Team included ten undergraduate students. Two faculty advisors with expertise in business economics and geo-environmental engineering supported the students along with several industry experts
Update: The EcoTech team has gone on to form a successful aquarium products company. Visit their website here.
- Inc.com names EcoTech Marine in its fastest-growing companies list (Sept 2010)
- Given the Entrepreneurial Achievement Award from the Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania (April 2012)
- EcoTech's products are now sold in 450 stores and 35 distributors across the US. The company has developed two more propeller pumps and an LED light for reef aquariums. EcoTech generated $15M in revenue in 2011, has 42 full time staff and a 4,000 square foot work space.

Crossing the Line: A Call to Revolutionary Love
Conference Year:
In case you missed the conference, here is the condensed version of Friday night, August 17, 2012. James Ricks read, "A Declaration of Independence from the War In Vietnam by Martin Luther King, Jr., which was followed by discussion. It was a fine community event.
An Important Update
Kathy Kelly has kindly agreed to lead our day of reflection. Regrettably and so very sadly Bishop Gumbleton, due to the unexpected death of his sister on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 will not be able to attend. Our hearts and prayers go out to Bishop Gumbleton and his family.
We hope all who have planned on coming will still attend. We are in the process of letting folks know of this sad news and change. We understand and share in your disappointment. Bishop Gumbleton is very special.
However Kathy Kelly is also very special and we invite you to go to her wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Kelly which gives an excellent overview of her career as a peace and justice activist and the many awards and accomplishments she has achieved. She often leads spiritual retreats and was brought up in the Catholic tradition. We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday. Thank you for your understanding.
Crossing the Line
A Call to Revolutionary Love
Bishop Thomas Gumbleton*, Kathy Kelly, John Horgan, Clare Grady, David Swanson, Matt Southworth, Walt Chura, James Ricks and more . . .
Friday, August 17, 2012 at 6 PM
Saturday, August 18, 2012 at 9 AM
Plain and simple, this year's conference is about love, revolutionary love. The kind of love that invites us to move beyond fear and isolation, to cross the line, to occupy squares, to change the world.
We are also very pleased to announce that Bishop Thomas Gumbleton will be conducting a day of reflection starting at 9:30 AM, Friday, August 17th. The day of reflection, "Active Love and non Violence: The Only Moral Response to War" is a special and additional event.
* Bishop Gumbleton will be with us on Friday, August 17, 2012 ( day only).
Within the last 100 years the world has seen some exceptional models of revolutionary love. Gandhi and King come immediately to mind. Profound and dramatic life affirming change, both in the way things work and the way people think, are the substance and effect of revolutionary love.
For example, both Gandhi and King were instrumental in using the radical notion of nonviolent resistance to lead both the oppressor and the oppressed to a new level of understanding, a more equitable and harmonious state of living, which provided for equal rights and equal protection born of a new vision of "the other". Their leadership led to a transformation of heart and mind which in turn led to a transformation of politics and policy.
Their work and the work of so many of the world's true revolutionaries, certainly hasn't been completed nor perfected. Peace and justice still weigh in the balance, yet each moved us forward in a great turning towards an expanded thinking and imagination, premised on love as the guiding and foundational principle of real revolution.
This conference invites us to ask:
How do we continue to move forward to embrace the transformative power of this revolutionary love? How to continuously work to ground our thinking and actions in the reaffirmation of the most profound and challenging truth, the root of why we care, why we act: we are sisters and brothers all and everywhere, in truth, a beloved community.
This conference also will issue challenges, for on this revolutionary journey, we contend there are lines to be crossed, squares to be occupied. Plagued with doubts, excuses, and often a very real fear of the oppressor's threats and violence along with the deadening fear that the status quo is inevitable and unchangeable, we find ourselves paralyzed, failing to speak out, afraid of conflict, trapped in isolation.
Yet often it is equally true our fear is written within our own psyche and with our own hand. We must find the courage to cross this line - whether the source of the fear is external or internal - to take the needed risks necessary to express our deep love for each other and for peace and justice.
While we often think of both King and Gandhi as fearless because of the tremendous courage they both demonstrated, it is well to remember that each moved us forward towards peace and justice because they embraced community and faced their fears with dignity, courage and grace as they crossed the line both - literally in directly challenging unjust laws and institutions - as well as spiritually by arriving at a new experiential understanding of our essential human inter-connectedness which is dramatic, life changing, vulnerable and creative, comprising the essence of and compassionate energy which we call revolutionary love.
Please join us and cross the line to "Revolutionary Love".
While we are a Interfaith Conference, certainly we would be remiss not to mention the extraordinary life affirming influence and understanding Jesus created with his call to Revolutionary Love!

The Triangle Freethought Society is a perfect example of a secular community doing their part to normalize non-belief in America.Perhaps I'm a little biased, because half of their upper echelon joined our event staff. That happened in October, when very few people took us seriously.Our own local secular community, the Fort Bragg chapter of the Military Atheists & Secular Humanists (M*A*S*H) wants to emulate and maybe even piggy-back off the Triangle Freethought Society (TFS). TFS is just … [Read more...]

CNN's Dr. Wendy Walsh Claims Atheists Die First
What the hell is wrong with people?httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_I5Z5q8A68Dr. Wendy Walsh says "...it doesn't mean that science has the answers for everything... Most studies on survivors show that atheists die first. Because if you don't believe in something super-natural, how can you imagine that you yourself have supernatural abilities enough to survive?" Batshit crazy. So, science doesn't have the answers, but lets use scientific studies to justify super powers...?I have nothing … [Read more...]
Greg Epstein, Harvard's Humanist Chaplain
An influential Chaplain has joined our lineup. Is it possible we are approaching legitimacy in the eyes of Fort Bragg? Let's hope so."One billion people around the world, including over forty million Americans and over one in five Americans age 18 to 25 identify with no religion. Imagine the positive impact these people could have on the world if, in the coming generations, they were to realize that Humanism is what they have in common." - Greg Epstein Greg M. Epstein serves as the Humanist … [Read more...]
Foxhole Atheist Justin Griffith's reply to Fort Bragg Commander
***Attention Readers*** The following is my reply to Colonel Sicinski, the Garrison Commander at Fort Bragg. He had commented on this website two weeks ago, and I've now received assurance that I would be able to post and respectfully reply to it without fear of repercussions. I maintain the utmost respect for my entire chain of command, and appreciate this opportunity to clear the air about some complicated issues.----Sir,I really appreciate that you reached out to me and the readers … [Read more...]
Nobody On Our Lineup Has Been Banned From Army Events
This is another entry in the The Great Rock the Fort Swindle - exploring the disparity between the support for Rock the Fort and the Rock Beyond Belief.Franklin Graham is the driving force behind the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, who co-sponsored (along with Fort Bragg) the Rock the Fort event. He has previously been banned from official Army events before, and it makes me wonder why his organization was given so much support. In comparison, nobody on our lineup, or on the Rock Beyond … [Read more...]
Nate Phelps – Son of 'God Hates Fags' Fred Phelps – joins lineup
"THANK GOD FOR DEAD SOLDIERS" A sign commonly held up by the Westboro Baptist Church as they protest at the funerals of Soldiers. Recently, the Supreme Court upheld their right to continue to do this.WBC is largely comprised of a single extended family, the Phelps family. Fred Phelps is an aging hate-mongering idiot who generally stays behind when the rest of the gang travels the nation to 'protest'. Half of the family have trained to become lawyers, as they fund their hateful ideology by … [Read more...]
The Great Rock The Fort Swindle
Side by side comparison of the inequalities in the culture clash at Fort BraggToday I saw too much disinformation about the situation on the ground here. The articles clearly needed to be written, because people are starting to swallow some major shall we say... 'unfounded assumptions'.The Great Rock the Fort Swindle is a living document chronicling the disparity between the support offered to Rock the Fort's evangelical Christian membership drive [overwhelming] and Rock Beyond Belief.

Rock Beyond Belief in Fall 2011…? Maybe.
Stringing along quite a few popular and busy people for 5 months, dangling a unique opportunity in front of them, was certainly never my intention.It was unfortunate and disheartening that the last minute restrictions crippled us and we had to cancel. My initial reaction was to entertain the idea of a smaller venue being overflowing with angry atheists, as offered. Then I thought about how accepting that offer would legitimize our unequal treatment. I also thought about the angry atheists that … [Read more...]

All Episodes
Season 2
Roger the Wanderer
The battle is over. Dazed and confused, Roger wanders the streets, but this is not the world he remembers. Here, the Big O is nothing but a comic book fantasy. His home is actually a bank, and he is a homeless wanderer. Are his memories merely the delusions of a man gone mad?
Twisted Memories
Roger's mansion is under attack by Beck and his droid forces, all arranged by Paradigm Corporation and Alan. They are not after Roger Smith, but the one who possesses the memories that can resurrect the Big Fau: Dorothy. Even though Dorothy did not realize the existence of these memories, she is still pursued relentlessly.
The Big Fight
Alan, as the Dominus of Big Duo, gets into an intense battle with Big O. But as the battle reaches its climax, the hidden powers of the Megadeus are overpowering. Schwarzwald, who appears as the ghost of the former Dominus of Big Duo, sends Alan a message. Meanwhile, Rosewater manages to steal Dorothy's memory and install it into the Big Fau.
The War of Paradigm City
The Big Fau is resurrected and Paradigm city is about to disappear underneath the rubble by its destructive powers. Gordon Rosewater tells Angel about the true facts of her life and she is shocked to hear about her true identity. Meanwhile, Big O and Big Fau are hungry for memories, facing off to decide the fate of Paradigm City.
The Show Must Go On
In the Big Fau and Big O battle, Big Fau's immense and superior powers push Big O to the limit. Dorothy, sensing that Roger is in danger, suddenly becomes conscious from her deep sleep and saves Roger from defeat. Angel and Gordon enter into another dimension to return to a life with certainty...that is, a life without missing memories.
