Masters Weekend Runs and Races

OMBTS, years ago I biked to work and back just so I didn't have to waste money on gas, and I enjoyed it. Then one night a tree fell on me while riding home in the dark, and I decided to start driving again (the tree died but I survived) As far as eating, my gosh I'm pathetic. I eat the worst stuff. I drink Mt. Dew like it was water, and live on fast food. I do try to eat healthy, but my patience for cooking is very short, so I don't cook a lot. I'd say I'm too active to gain weight, but you never know. I have hovered at 130 lb for 20 years, and haven't been able to get any heavier... not that I try. If you ever saw my diet though, you'd wonder why I wasn't 300 lbs. I guess it's genetics. My twin brother is the same way, but we rarely sit still and are usually climbing mts, hiking, caving, and keeping my dogs exercised, so it's easy to stay slim. The other thing that might help my weight is always being on call for Nike pacing, as that seems to make me stay fit year around. I've always said, it's easier to stay fit then get fit. Of course, I'm single and lack some of the responsiblities everyone else has with having a family. I've heard kids can wear you out a little :)

ahrlin, that is a truly formidable team--you will definitely be giving atc a run for their money. i can't make clubs, so hopefully some good competition will make their way to indiana for the 5k x-c meet--i think atlanta is sending a good squad there...

muddy girl, i agree--it's rare to run that fast and fly that far under the radar when you're over 40, especially if you're in your upper 40s. maybe ray's not american?

Good afternoon Boys & Gals

Put up a 70+ mile week with two knarly 10k type workouts.

TONy.

Ahrlin, that's crazy about your diet. That was a great interview btw. Best of luck in the future and thank you for sharing.

Is that the author Malcolm Gladwell (Blink) in the 5th Ave Mile?

USTAF Master's XC here in the Indy metro area. I plan on running. Anyone coming our for it?

Feeling normal running again, nice to have that back.

I don't run for the USA. I run for Okchukma, that's blue and we wear mostly blue. I can't run for another club. In the past we wanted to be like the Mohawks who were not allowed to compete internationally in stickball or LaCrosse but at some point in time they were allowed to do so.

My birth year is 1969. I am 45. I am a cancer survivor. I use my mother's last name right now M. for Morrison. I was 20 pounds over my race weight a few weeks ago. I have lost about 5 pounds. I have very good training times that surprise me positively as well as the opposite kind. Last year I could hardly get out of bed with illness and this year I am feeling better I have never stopped training it's just that I am now starting to improve again. My favourite race to race has always been the 800 meters but I have race anything from 30 meters to 33 + miles on our tribal lands around lake trails close to where my ancestors were forced if they survived what Andrew Jackson and others did to them.

I'm a very emotional runner and that's how I run. Today I did not run at all. A couple weeks ago I ran the marathon distance 2 times only. It was a hard time that week as a family member was killed with a hole in his throat and a hole in his chest and I ran how I FELT LIKE RUNNING and I think jjjjjjjjj is out of place calling me "troll". I would never trust you but who cares I don't have time for that. You give me the same feeling of racial discrimination that I face every day.

I decided after years to participate here because I thought it would give me a good feeling to share what I do and it could help me train better and such because I really want to do well in '15, '16 and '17.

My ultimate time goals are sub 50, sub 1:50, sub 4 for 1500 meters, sub 5:30 at least, sub 8:30 and I hope to run as close to 14:10 as possible. I have no idea if I will achieve it but I run with a lot of anger and so maybe I will achieve some of those times.

Thanks y'all.

I hope y'all hit your targets and stay healthy.

I'll come back every once and a while because I am a fan of you guys like the socal guys and Bauman twins and others.

Chepisalauchi!

well, ray, you've got my interest, and not just because you're in my age group. troll or no troll--and i don't think anyone here means anything by the mistrust other than anonymity and message boards in general breed it--those are some ambitious goals.

if it helps, you're doing some workouts i don't think i can do--you may have more speed than me at this point--and i did manage to break 4 for 1500m. sub-1:50 and sub-14:10 are in a whole 'nuther neighborhood, though. good luck...

Chiming in late here. Had two weeks of travel, followed by a drive to MA for parents weekend to visit my son at WPI, wrapped up with a 6 mile leg at a team triathlon. Managed 30 miles each of the travel weeks in spite of being knocked down a notch with food poisoning in China and too many work commitments in San Francisco. Most on the treadmill, but did enjoy a run along the harbor in Hong Kong and another along the Embarcadero and the SF Bay.

The team triathlon was fun, although we were just edged out in the masters division. I got the baton with our team in 30th place and moved us up to 25th. There were two 150 ft. climbs, the first just before the 3 mile mark and the second starting at mile 5. The second one was rough, especially with some residual, but I managed to keep one foot in front of the other and finish strong. 6 miles in 37:31, so not fast but respectable.

I look forward to seeing some of you at the masters XC races. I should be able to make both this year, as well as the road 5k in Syracuse.

Okay, have it your way. I can't find a single result matching your information going back to the 1970s, but suit yourself.
