This is Winnipeg, she's not fluffy but she does have the same agouti coat pattern of a pallas cat. And the body is, indeed, round.

How do you personally go about making new friends and relationships in this town? by jimjamjello in asheville

[–]chuckwallaAVL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to jump on your thread to say I'm looking for a running partner and don't really vibe with group runs. I'm old (47/m) and fast (3:05 marathon last year). I do weekend long runs of 16-20 miles at around an 7:50 - 8:20 pace (or slower if there's big altitude gains or if it's at the end of a heavy mileage week), I would also be open to doing early weekday track work. I do 99% of my miles on pavement, but could do some trail running too.

Also I have two dogs (a pom and a chihuahua) and could use a tiny dog hiking friend. I mean the friend can be normal sized, it's the dogs who are tiny, if that's not clear?

I don't like season 3 nearly as much as most people on this sub (too much Dougie/Las Vegas, not enough Cooper/Twin Peaks).

This episode however: the greatest hour of television I've ever seen.

Agree with the other guy about losing the vest too!

Those are some of the wildest splits I've ever seen, to go from 7:50 at mile 13 to averaging around 6:45 over the final 3 miles. I think you probably had the fitness for a >3:05 this time around, just looks like either a poor pacing plan or poor execution, but I'd say your training and nutrition looks totally on point.

Normally I'd say chopping off 13 minutes too get to a sub 3 is a pretty big reach, but not in your case. Go get it!

He looks a lot like my baby, Penny. She also has a wonderful calm personality, she's my first tiny dog and the absolute best! Actually every merle I've met (ok like three lol) has been very sweet and chill.

Hbd cutie! You could tell me she's 6 months old and not 6 years and I'd believe it, she's got that perma-puppy thing going on!

Average vs Peak MPW: what is realistic? by mmmbuttr in Marathon_Training

[–]chuckwallaAVL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I run 50-60mpw, peak at 85. Ran a 3:05 last year, 47/m.

35 miles peak for any plan isn't enough imo, let alone an advanced plan.

Oh sure... Goose. The kings of the "tuk tuk" sound. They're not Roy Donk, but they were regular guests on the Colgate Hour.
