this isn't even the BIG carb load but

it's getting so boring

what are u running

or is it just regular training

whitticus: our local club's 10-miler race is tomorrow so I'm doing a 4 miles warmup, racing 10 miles, then doing a 4 mile cooldown (after enjoying the free ice cream and beer that makes this our best race)

so kinda both regular training and event

next weekend I'm running 20-22 so I will be choking down EVEN MORE carbs

are you doing the marathon this year?

Not NYC, but I am running Wineglass Marathon up in Corning

and then a trio of Didney races on NYC weekend actually

o that's soon

yeah ryan's not running NYC this year either, he's doing marine corps + philly

Yeah I made the mistake of looking at how many days were left on my training app and puffed up nervously like an angry cat

I've done Philly! I hope he gets good weather, it's so hard to predict with a race that late in the year

philly will be fun bc i will just get to hang out at my sisters' houses and drink beer while he does the hard work

im also going down to DC and doing a bunch of other stuff while he does the hard work

you really get the best part of marathons

look i just want him to keep running marathons in exotic locales so i can follow him there

begging him to do some euro ones next

if he doesn't, you can follow me to cool locations and pretend we're related

I wanna do Berlin and London to make progress on my six stars

Boston and Tokyo last b/c I will probs have to pay out the nose for Boston and Tokyo has weird rules

my mom did boston a few times. im surprised ryan hasnt gone for it yet

he could probably time qualify from what you've said

lol no he cant

his best is barely sub-4h and he's 40

Ahaha

40-44 for the mens is still like...3h10m!!

which is crazy to me

My friend Leslie once invited me to run a race by her because she said she heard I was trying to BQ and I asked who told her that filthy lie

Yeah it's nuts. I'd have to cut off like an hour 15 from my best time

LMAO so I was on the phone with fam and my parents have the kids tonight. They asked how far I was running tomorrow and I said 18 miles.

In the background, Charlotte absolutely SHRIEKED "FOR PRACTICE?!"

Six minute PR today, one year after a five minute PR. Not bad not bad 🥳

ran 18 miles yesterday, shocked that I'm sore today

actually it's less the total mileage and more that I hauled ass during the race yesterday that's got the lactic acid really going
