Title: Fuzzy's big adventure and summer plan - UPDATE Post by: Fuzzy on October 06, 2008, 09:10:47 AM Original: http://www.golfhos.com/forum/index.php/topic,7913.0.html
Yesterday. Twin Cities Marathon. 3:26:05! ;D [sm_thankyou] Notes: 1. 3:30 was the number I had written down back in June. 3:20 entered my mind in August after another solid half-marathon. So I am happy with my time but.... 2. Labor day training run I noticed discomfort in my left knee that turned out to be an IT band issue. Basically the treatment is rest. [sm_cussing] I wasn't going to not run the marathon so I dialed back my training schedule which didn't help and..... 3. The race started with temps in the high 40's which was good but from mile 4 to mile 11 it was pouring rain. hate! But still..... 4. At 20 miles I was managing to stay on pace for a 3:20 but my lack of miles the last month was catching up to me and I was feeling the knee and my right calf was tightening up. Plus it is an all uphill section from 20.5 miles to 23.5 miles so.... 5. I'm happy but I know I have something to shoot for next time. 8) Good on you Fuzzy. How are your knees feeling. My left knee really doesn't like stairs this morning. ;) Title: Re: Fuzzy's big adventure and summer plan - UPDATE Post by: stroh on October 06, 2008, 09:14:51 AM Wow. Very impressive Dave.

Hell just a 100meter run for me is enough.Way to be in your target time! Title: Re: Fuzzy's big adventure and summer plan - UPDATE Post by: Fuzzy on October 06, 2008, 09:39:07 AM Thanks everyone. It does feel good to hit my goal.
And... I would be remiss without giving props to Susan the girls. They came out and cheered me on at mile 8 (in the rain!), 14, 20 and 24. Title: Re: Fuzzy's big adventure and summer plan - UPDATE Post by: twoiron on October 06, 2008, 01:35:23 PM Congrats.... nice work.
I ran somewhere once... very possibly to catch a bus, or a train... ;D Title: Re: Fuzzy's big adventure and summer plan - UPDATE Post by: Jules on October 06, 2008, 01:48:45 PM Good on you Fuzzy, you achieved your goal. ;D

What a man 1 part Bob Villa 2 parts Roger Bannister. Dang man, you ran a freaking marathon, I'm not sure if we have to kick you out of the club or make you the all knowing, all powerful master of time and space. That's awesome.
