My Wife Had Not Heard of Gtown's Win, She Asked About Dog Registration for the Turkey Trot

It was posted on their page on Monday. Now I'm not saying your wife is a liar, but she might have some explaining to do.

Mrs Wejo? What shall we call your offspring, "Wee-jos"?

did you do two to three sets of 150s progressively faster with 5-10min rest? Did you do a 2-7min run at 3k to 5k effort after? have you been staying on top of your phosphocreatine training?

I think this thread should be titled "My wife went to Georgetown. I am going to race a 10k and I drank 11 beers tonight."

Congratulations Wejo, you are now a mere normal person. The days of college competition being in the forefront of your life have passed.

It's now all about the everyday family life and your dog's activities. Certain things will disappear even farther into the rear-view mirror after you have kids - so you have that to look forward to!

Good luck in the Turkey Trot.

Ahhh, married life. How can you love someone so much and still want to strangle them from time to time?

After some thought I told her I am going to "race" the 10k, but I'm worried about our friends husband beating me.

I did some strides today in my new Puma Faas shoes (that's not a plug just a factual statement) with the dog and am ready to go.

Wait, just to clarify, are you racing the guy or running with your dog?

No way the dude knows what that means. The brothers Johnson don't even know how to spell.

Hershey is a good name. Happy Thanksgiving

Wonder if wejo will do 10K faster than I do 5 miles in my turkey trot tomorrow. Battle of the "has been" versus the "never was" (me).

What kind of shape is Hershey in? Can you still race with a dog? I know a guy who runs a lot faster when his dog is pulling him along, but that obviously depends on the dog. You don't want to be stopping every 20 feet to pee on something.

I think TxRG is on to something that has not been considered in the Kip Litton thread. Does Kip have a dog? He could have the dog do all the running with his (Kip's) chip on the dog's collar. The dog is trained to wait for Kip at mile 25, where Kip gets his chip back and runs his sub 3 hour marathon.

Good point, that dog is not gonna be happy waiting on wejo every 20 feet.

I dearly hope you don't mean that Wejo should not want to stop every twenty feet to pee on something. The dog, right?

Nothing wrong with marking your territory.

Why would Wejo need to keep stopping to pee?

He encourages the use of caffeine as a legal PED. Maybe he'll go overboard on the coffee that morning.

Ahah, great thread, Wejo! What a family of athletes! My money is on Hershey :-)

Could you post a pic?

Wejo,

You should take the Stember approach and start a charity. Who will cross the finish line first? Wejo, Hershey, or a hungover college stud?

Dog registration? When did that start?
