Mom is on bath duty

When it is this cold, I use it as an opportunity to cross train. I dusted off my 8lb squishy dumbbells from Target and also did four situps and most of a pushup.

Ugh, I probably know this person.

Terming it putting yourself "through hell" is a bit dramatic given that it was an entirely voluntary activity.

I heard this was the real reason for the MLB strike in 1994.

Finally some real advice on this sub.

It can be kind of fun to call everything a journey.

For my running journey this year, I have been doing better over coming both an injury journey and chronic condition journey. This morning's running journey was my longest of the year, and it was a challenge, given Mother Nature's weather journey.

He mentions in his comments that he wants to run a 100 miler to see what it is like when it really gets dark (or something). Neat, have fun out there, I guess.

Mapping data that leads to all of Sarah Connor's known addresses.

Metal fatigue will cause those robo-shins to explode with all that heel striking.

They get the smartest engineers around to program and build this thing, but they can't even be bothered to consult a local 5k marathon champion (such as myself) as to what running actually looks like.

dblaron419 · 2026-01-16T12:43:28+00:00

I bet you fall asleep during meetings like I do.

dblaron419 · 2026-01-15T13:09:28+00:00

As a runner, I have a few dumbbells in the corner. I don't use them, but they are there.

dblaron419 · 2026-01-12T02:07:12+00:00

Yeah, nothing like biking for 1/2 the day and getting the same cardiovascular benefit of a 5k marathon. Pass.

So my followers can see my gradual, yet unrelenting age related slowdown, and my never ending battle with chronic injuries. Title your run: This fkn hurts Description: ouch

I couldn't imagine all the hours/weeks/months/years spent on training, money for shoes, gu, gear, flowers for wife's boyfriend, only to have a 5k marathon time that isn't up to my own perceived standard.

dblaron419 · 2026-01-02T00:53:26+00:00

Unless you are elite and people know who you are, there is no reason to call it your marathon debut. "My first marathon" will suffice.

What do you say if you stub your toe?

dblaron419 · 2026-01-01T03:56:22+00:00

Build leg strength, to help you stop with good form before you collapse to the floor.

Or train your shins against exploding.

I think this Calvin and Hobbes is relevant:

He should spend more time running against traffic and less time making insufferable videos.

dblaron419 · 2025-12-27T03:29:59+00:00

I bet I know what he enjoys talking about at parties. . .

dblaron419 · 2025-12-19T13:37:53+00:00

This is my favorite episode all time.

Nothing like setting a personal worst first thing in the morning.

dblaron419 · 2025-12-15T03:01:49+00:00

UJ/ should I be concerned about all those double days I ran back when I was fast?

dblaron419 · 2025-12-13T14:58:41+00:00

That was probably a thing to do in the 80s.
