Oh baby, we came here with our hopes high. Glen W, to be paced by his trusty Sherpa, Brian H, and Jennifer C, each talking Boston Qualifier time. Me, I would have loved that too, but I didn’t want to get a strong PR and then feel bad because I didn’t get a BQ, so I picked 3:53 as a goal, a 5+ minute PR. A 3:45 BQ for me is nuts. But if I could get Sherpa Brian to pace me, like Glen...special Glen, lucky Glen. We hates Glen, my inner Gollum taking over.
All arrived in beautiful downtown Albany mid-afternoon on Saturday, October 10. Jennifer and I found Glen and Brian sprawled on a sofa in the lobby. Homeless looking or maybe they lived in the lobby, couldn’t tell. Dashed to the expo, finding that a race number and a free Bic pen were all the booty we were going to get there. Glen talked race strategy, Brian with a pack and leash would drag Glen like a caveman, get him into Boston. Boston. Brian. Glen says he always bonks, walks. I say if I catch you and you are cooked, I want Brian. How do I catch them? Don’t care. Thinking fast is easier than running fast. And I’m visualizing the moment.
Ed and Emily A showed up, Ed doing his post-race waddle after successfully taming the Hartford Marathon earlier in the day. I was appreciative of their company, but also in awe at how they would just show up far from home in support of friends. That’s what it’s all about.
Real Men (and Women) do Yoga for Runners!
by Dave K
Yoga is boring. Yoga causes injuries. Yoga is inconvenient. Yoga is too hard. Yoga is too easy. Yoga is for females. Yoga isn't helpful for runners.
Or maybe that’s not true?
I've never been flexible. Not just the stubborn type of inflexible (although that, too). I've always had pretty limited flexibility. I remember in kindergarten, Mrs. Kass had us all sit cross-legged. Everyone looked so comfortable. I wondered why, since I sure didn't feel comfy.
But about 15 years ago I decided to give yoga a try after I kept hurting my back and neck. Although I can surely be a pain in the neck, my neck and back pain never returned.
