Go for it. Doing less is ok, don't do more.

I can' thank you enough, Coach. You're good people. Looking forward to Holliday -- enough of that Bocce Ball, I'm getting bored running by myself!

No shit. Normally, I get winded on the road, a little tired, whatever. On this run, my legs took a hella beating. Quads, calfs --- burning. I didn't really expect that. I honestly thought it would be just a little slower...and softer on the dirt. Whole 'nother world.

I'm getting there. Just need to shed these lbs to make it a little easier and more enjoyable. Thanks for following, Glenn. I appreciate it.

Thanks, Tim. I'm tryin'. The run was difficult - fun for the first mile or so...then it just sucked. However, the feeling afterward was .... I don't know...bliss.

Right on, Eric! Damn good pace for trails. Stay with it.

Sweet! You are so hooked.

I saw the love in your eyes (and smile) for the dirt path. You are there. It will become your friend and be your heart's desire after your pacer duties at Pipeline to Fish Hatchery. Welcome to the club.

OMG. Look at that course from your tracks! It winds through there like a string. Rough.

Glad you ventured off the roads and on to the dirt. It will make you stronger.

Thanks, Glenn! I was pretty darn excited. You better watch out - I'm gunnin' for you next.

I was really hoping you'd notice that. To tell you the truth, I'm glad I didn't have music with me. It was too damn intellectually demanding paying attention to my pace and adjusting. Next race is tomorrow evening. 5k trail run. Exciting...sort of. 90 degrees...and not flat road.

I checked the splits. Spot on. Nice work.

Ready for the next installment!

Grats on your first!

Ugh, the whole schedule thing has become a pain. I track everything (and plan) and Garmin Connect -- other than the whole RSS thing from Garmin to WP -- it's a pain syncing everything. However, I may update it. But not because you told me to.

Re: WS100 – A Fat Guy’s Perspective

nataleejean — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 22:56:53 -0000

If you are so inspired, why is your training schedule still blank for July? Didn't Coach Force teach and/or command you to do anything?!

Re: WS100 – A Fat Guy’s Perspective

The story behind the story was one of confusion and wonderment for me. I had no idea what to do, where to be, what to say. Shit, I remember video taping (is that the correct term in the 21st century?) you at the end. I was up in the bleachers. And frankly I didn't know when to come down. Maybe I was afraid because I thought I would say something stupid. I had no idea what to tell you after a 100 mile run.

Your wife eventually waved me over.

Anywho - I tell you this to give you an idea of how out of place/noobish it felt.

Thanks for the invite and the experience.

Inspired is an understatement. You're an intense guy, Glenn - I was proud to follow your lead!

Angela and I are already trying to plan our trip out to Sodom And Gomorrah (joke) - do you have a suggestion for time of year? Angela likes shopping, I like walking around new cities ...we both love food and drink. Your help planning will be rewarded with dinner and beer.

I see what you did there. Touche, Sir. Anywho - it was a pleasure meeting you. Hopefully, I will stumble into you in the near future. Good luck this weekend - you have plenty of support in Indiana. I will try to find a way to track you on the interwebs. Of course, this will be after I finish my first 5k on Saturday morning. I can't wait to put the 3.1 sticker on my bumper :/

Great to meet you and Angela. I teach a course on eating what you want. It's called "activity". I haven't met an onion ring or a trail I haven't liked. :-)
Take care and good luck with your own running. I'll be busy this weekend muddling my way through the big boys 100.

It was great to hang with both you and Angela. I think you were a key member of Team Shart, with all the complex media hookups: I barely managed socks and salts. It's exciting that Brandon has you inspired: go for it!

Thanks to you and Angela for taking the time to come and be with us. I was hoping that our fascination/love/spirit/attitude would make for an exciting day in the mountains in a way you haven't experienced before. The beauty of it all is that I/we didn't know anything about this world just a few years ago. Somehow I got infected and just started scratching the itch. Here's to whatever it does for you going forward. Glad you got inspired.

BTW, I love hearing the story behind the story.

She's nothing special. Your standard slave driver.

I want to meet this chick. She sounds hella-awesome!
