I ran five miles today, which is the first time I’ve run since the 12-miles on Sunday. My legs were like Jell-O in the beginning of the run, and it was very humid, but once I warmed up I maintained a 10:30 min pace, except for mile 3, which I walked almost entirely and slowed my overall pace down to 12:00 min per mile. I did stop twice to check my shuffle and once to take a swallow of water. I have issues with being able to run and swallow at the same time. Of course, Michael says I have a lot of issues when it comes to swallowing, but that’s a post for another day.

Damn, you beat me to my clever comment within your post, too funny.

Oh you naughty little vixen. Not perhaps quite naughty enough but the man can’t have EVERYTHING now, can he?
PS: I might be a little sad that I got the boot from the fave list:(
That was funny! And how many calories are in sperm???
never mind…
“The average e.jaculat.e, laden with between 200 and 300 million s.per.m, amounts to about about 5 calories.”
So long as he doesn’t do the research…
Back in my windsurfing days, waaaaay back, my favorite bumper sticker read “If it doesn’t blow, it sucks”. I dunno. I just thought about that when I read you last line …
god i’m behind on my blogging.
okay, i couldn’t get beyond jell-o. it hit me and hit me hard. do you remember this:
watch it wiggle

nutty one!

okay, i totally mismemorised those lyrics, but here they are.
*gulp*
I have tip for that ……
no not that …..
When running … grab the cup and throw the water back into your mouth … this way you can breath at the same time …. unfortunately half of it splashes on your shirt and up your nose … trust me … try it!
you know too fast on the out right? ;o) training runs done about a minute slower than what you want marathon pace to be! ;o)
hell even at 12:00 walk/mile you done good.
as far as the drinking water on the run thing, just squeeze the cup at the top (so you arent drinking from such a wide area) to drink and it should go down easier.
that wont help on the other thing, but i will wait to comment on THAT when that blog post goes up! :O)
I read your post a few times and realized that the swallowing problem only occurs while running. So tell Michael to get off the bike so you can stop running alongside; and he might be happier.
Can you spit while running?
That’s the Runner Susan we know and love. I think it’s the marathon training that brings you back to your old blogging self.
