    Vinny in game 2. That certainly stinks, but if they don't win both games I'm gonna be disappointed.

    So they couldn't play at 7:00 last night, but now they are ready for 2 7-inning games at noon? Sometimes I think they just want to play fewer innings.

    I may defer Phila. Distance Run. What's everyone's plans for that Asbury Park show?

    When is the Distance Run scheduled?

    I deferred Broad Street Run but that had nothing to do with Pandemic and everything to do with my needing to run 26 miles on my training schedule that day and not wanting to run 16 here and then 10 in Philly same day.

    Scheduled for Schyckdhfewnflafaillugel 50k Ultra, Run The Bridge and Philly Marathon here.  Another race up in VT in Sept.

    Hope this shit holds on.  
    (Obviously these hopes are secondary to human lives but they are things I have been looking forward to and would be my first "events" since lockdown.  Haven't been to restaurant, games, concerts, etc...)

    PDR is Sept 19 - morning after that festival. I am deferring because I am (let's do a band reference) Light Years away from running 13 miles.

    Asbury Park show I got a house in Belmar from Friday-Monday. Looking forward to biking to the venue.

    Our plan is to hang out in the back, or where ever there's a reasonable amount of space. I get the feeling that they're going to require vaccination for entry, but not sure how they're going to do that since tickets were originally pre-pandemic. I've never been a fan of trying to get as close as possible. As long as I can adequately hear the music, be able to get to beers and the pisser, and somewhat see the band and I'm fine.

    I think my wife and I will be fine - at worst we'll wear masks. But we're vaxed so I'm not entirely concerned about it, and we'll get tested when we come home.

    I get it - takes consistent miles to build it up.  You may think it'll be Alright but when you are fading, laying Cropduster(s) as people pass you by, and wishing you would be hit by a Lightning Bolt, you would regret saying Go without putting in the work.

    Halfway into that run my body would be full of Grievance. I Can't Keep up. Running these torturously slow miles feels like Life Wasted. It sure won't make me Smile.

    I think we're gonna get kicked out of this thread. Sad

    Hahaha.  That is funny. 
    I am raising money for one of the runs and my idiot friend (well, one of them) tells me that he is donating and will double it if I shit my pants during the run.
    This is for a 5k, so there is zero chance of that but I did laugh my ass off at it.

    Well they have one called I Got Shit so...

    It's honestly shocking that one time in my life I ran a 5K under 22 minutes.

    My college fitness test for soccer was 2 miles in 12 minutes. That shit is hard. I did it once and failed 3 times which sent you to "fat man camp" which was running at 6AM before 2 a days. Now I weigh 40 pounds more.

    GLORY DAYS

    I was wrong. My company sent an email - you need to validate your vaccination status to be in the office without a mask. This stuff is happening fast.

    I saw a kid at Rite-Aid yesterday asking for the vaccine and I said "thank you" to him. I think he was like who the F is this guy?

    Yeah, if Philly goes from wearing masks indoors is "suggested" to mandated I think we'll end up working from home full-time. Which, twist my arm.

    Yeah I'm not running two 6 minute miles, although I might have at 17-18.  Certainly not on college...the drugs and booze part would've made sure of that.
    A 5k in 22?
    Maybe.....maybe if I focused on short runs I could get there again.  Right now that would mean about as fast as I can run a mile, three times in a row.  I'm not there.  Building for the 50K and am totally fine with 10+ minutes per mile.  I need to finish, not have a stroke.  :lol:

    For the 5k I'll probably push to hit 27...this course has big ass hills and is really 3.4 miles.

    That doesn't sound like a 5K...

    50K - damn.

    I can't even say what my miles are these days - it's really embarrassing.
