Monday

PM - 11 miles in the Garden, 1:47.

Good article over here on how America is getting too fat to fight. One in four young Americans can't even sign up for the military due to weight issues, and the military does not have tough weight requirements. I always get a kick out of the fitness products that brag about the military using their system, that sort of endorsement should really scare anyone who wants to get in shape away.

But I can't really make fun of fat, lazy people today. Instead of my normal Monday morning run I slept in. Stuck at 3380 miles on the year. Need to run 10.8 a day for the rest of the month to hit 3650. Will be tough this week with the PPRR meeting and the CRC holiday party.

Ricks ran 2:22:43 at CIM over the weekend. BLOS ran 3:30:53 in Vegas, but was obviously slacking so he'd have something in the tank for the Brett Michaels concert at the finish line.

The RW calculator says I'm in shape to run 2:57:09 in NOLA based off Rock Canyon. Still have some work to do, but it's a good start...

At least one of those days will be a 30 mile day - right?

Pueblo is at 4700 feet altitude; New Orleans is at (or below) sea level. Taking that into account, your Rock Canyon performance is superior to a 2:57. Also, you will be tapering for NOLA.

You have been busting your ass month after month after month. I'm happy to see it paying off for you.

Nice job on the half.
You don't want RW, you want Jack Daniels -- you *know* you want Jack Daniels -- so you can take elevation into account:

That should put you under 2:55 -- so why even run it, right?
