So here is my “tan in a tube” arm against my white belly after one application. Not a huge difference, but I’m going to add another layer to the arms and legs and begin Operation Midriff Tan as well, today. So far so good. No streaking when riding or running and I’m not orange. The Tan in a Tube has a little glitter in it that washes away, but it’s kind of fun while it lasts. I like to sparkle.
Things are so exciting around here I can hardly stand it.
Oh, but I did run 9 miles this morning. My longest run in a long while. Go me. I have a two hour ride tomorrow and a one mile timed run on Monday morning. I’m a little nervous about the one mile run because it will determine what my speedwork plan is going to look like over the next few months. I have never done a one mile timed run so I have no clue even how to approach it. Right now my plan is to run as fast as I can for as long as I can . . . but I’m open to suggestions.

I see color!
It’s good that you didn’t turn orange. I used a tanner once and ended up looking ridiculous…
Sparkles are a bonus!
Good luck with the ride, run. I’ve got no advise, just take it easy.
You know who else has sparkles on their skin? …..there’s a pole involved…..just sayin…
Not orange is a definite plus. And nine miles rocks!
My sympathies on the insomnia. No fun at all.
I suggest that with all races/time trial break it into thirds. First one comfortable, second at pace and third one go for it with all you got.
It’s four laps around the track! You’ve done those before, right? You could try my friend Jack’s approach: start slowly and back off from there.
good move about the tan. skin cells in the sun are always in trauma. we like our susans without various nomas.
Go tan and white girl. Nice 14.484km.
I’m advising you not to use that plan. See, the problem is you’re very fast over short distances. You could easily run the first lap in 80 seconds, but then what would happen? Yes, ugly, pain and a slow final time.
Hold yourself back the first lap (but don’t totally jog at half marathon pace). Start working into it the second lap (this will feel hard). Keep building the third lap as this is where most time is lost in mile races (this lap feels very hard). Then, just one lap to go! Give it all you’ve got for 300m, then compose yourself and kick hard for the last 100m. Run through the finish line then sit down/collapse/jog victory lap. Fun eh?
Have fun on your 2 hour bike, I would not kill myself in the sprint running, you will wear yourself out before you get into a grove that will work for you, and cause small injury. Once you set the pace, all you can do is improve from there.
I say run as slow as humanly possible so that you get easy track workouts. Though it’s quite possible my advice sucks, it is highly accurate.
I love your tan from a can! I wouldn’t darken it one bit. You don’t want to end up looking like a Housewife of Dallas.
nice tan.
I hate mowing lawn. I’m going sheep shopping.
