CIM Training Week 1, Day 4: 3 miles

The wind sucks! I just thought I'd say that. :) When I ran this afternoon, here's what the Pre said...



That's right, 12mph. We're not supposed to have 12mph winds the first week of August! The first mile was awful, I felt like I was running through mashed potatoes or something, and I had to hold the hat to my head.





Splits
Mile 1: 10:15.04
Mile 2: 9:35.59
Mile 3: 9:57.29

3 miles, 29:47, 9:57/mi. I walked the last .18 mi back to work, total 396 calories burned.

Tomorrow's my rest day as I drive up north to Lava Beds National Monument for some caving. While there, I have a 5 mile tempo run on Saturday, and an 8-mile long run on Sunday. 8 miles will be the longest I've run since the May 3 marathon. Both of these runs will be at ~4000' of elevation.

See you when I get back!

• 08:21:12: @karrock and they prescribe longterm with no addictive effects or health side effects
  
• 08:21:36: @karrock He said it's no more harmful than taking aspirin every day
  
• 08:25:31: Just got this spam: "Sensation. Hitler was a woman."
  
• 08:28:11: @Oblivion I'm not seeing a TweetDeck update, just an AIR update
  
• 08:35:44: @phampants haven't seen it, I'm still getting going at work :)
  
• 08:37:18: @phampants Going to watch now, I can't find your original tweet, it must have scrolled off tweetdeck's limit heh
  
• 08:41:02: @steveheath I care. It made me happy, actually. And I don't even watch American Ido. (see? I didn't even call it Idol)
  
• 08:41:54: After not having my headband two days in a row because my wife misplaced it (dropped behind the dryer)... I need to buy a couple more.
  
• 08:51:26: @steveheath Mine was entirely directed at American Idol. I tried to just type Idol but it just won't work.
  
• 08:51:40: @steveheath It's like that stupid thing where Days of Our Lives fans just call it Days.
  
• 08:52:15: @steveheath I'm OK with acronyms, but in American Idol's case it becomes AI, and then I get confused & think it's a Spielberg movie
  
• 08:55:30: @phampants So then you'll continue training on October 11? ;)
  
• 08:56:45: @Snowshadow @blackfonzie We all know that "willy" is the medical term, of course
  
• 09:00:13: Have you seen @ADoRunRun's RnR Chicago video yet? No? Welllll then. http://tinyurl.com/kmcjy3
  
• 09:00:36: @Oblivion I just wish I had a group of fun people to train & race with like that. I love it.
  
• 09:02:59: @bapper You're in cali! When you heading up north?
  
• 09:03:29: @blackfonzie chain reaction
  
• 09:03:44: @blackfonzie Like the dude in The World According to Garp
  
• 09:04:54: @bapper Wow, cool. We're heading up Friday, I want to leave early, like by 6
  
• 09:05:44: @bapper I've also taken off Monday, so it'll make a nice 4-day weekend
  
• 09:06:15: @bapper I think I missed that tweet, hehe
  
• 09:07:54: @leggersheri I'm getting better about it. You just have to work on getting it into the routine.
  
• 09:08:04: @leggersheri So you feel you're not "done" without the stretch
  
• 09:13:09: @bapper Gah! You're a monster, 7000' ascent is rough for hiking much less running
  
• 09:19:48: @leggersheri I've been good about stretching the past two weeks. Now the foam roller's a different story, it's hard to lug to work
  
• 09:20:07: @leggersheri You should see the looks when I bring in this big giant 4-foot-long tube
  
• 09:20:15: @leggersheri big giant 4-foot-long BLUE tube
  
• 09:21:25: RT @runkerrierun: Thanks. :-/ RT @JesseJstreet: @runkerrierun Hehe. Interesting converstation on the running bra stuff :) - agreed
  
• 09:23:21: @Sweatstudio Hey man, I forgot to tell you something... but now that I go to tell you, I forget what I forgot to tell you. So sorry.
  
• 09:24:15: @quotidianlight Why do you read any comments anywhere? Comments on newspaper sites were a horrible addition.
  
• 09:28:56: @quotidianlight The ones I see are usually A) negative & B) without intelligence. Intelligent negative posts are annoying but -smarts? ack.
  
• 09:30:48: Yup, when's the deadline?
  
• 09:31:10: RT @gchance: Yup, when's the deadline? - d'oh, I suck. Remind me not to reply to direct messages on the phone, k? Thanks.
  
• 09:39:07: @Sweatstudio AHA! I remember what it was. I had one of those protein smoothies @ Starbuck's. Holy cow they're good. :)
  
• 09:45:42: Should I drink this after workouts? http://tinyurl.com/kvgdch
  
• 09:49:47: @Oblivion Interesting. I found the chafing was seriously reduced once I wore wicking tech shirts. @Candidradio
  
• 09:51:56: @Oblivion @bapper @RunningHoosier My PB&J's waiting, but I'm saving it for post-run.
  
• 09:54:25: @plumaslaker Yeah there should be a Homebrew app for it on #iphone like on #pre. http://tinyurl.com/mlf9ll
  
• 09:56:10: @leggersheri I've done it a few times. If I'm going to roll after every run I have to. Either that or buy a 2nd one.
  
• 09:56:50: @Oblivion @dyno_Ryno Isn't there a Chicago course overview in Spirit of the Marathon?
  
• 09:58:23: @Oblivion @dyno_ryno Try this: http://bit.ly/NO26k
  
• 09:58:56: @Oblivion @dyno_ryno Be sure to click HQ
  
• 10:01:52: @Oblivion That link I just gave you is the same video as on the BofA site but much higher-res
  
• 10:03:47: @athletetraining The marathon parts are good, but you have to like a character in a movie. Even in the end he was trying to mack on the ex
  
• 10:04:28: @athletetraining I also thought the visualization of the wall was great though
  
• 10:04:57: @Oblivion The footpod's good but the Garmin sometimes will override the GPS in favor of it for some reason
  
• 10:08:15: RT @DonGeronimoShow: Perhaps Bubba should fly to LA and convince PaulaAbdul and Fox to mend their fences.
  
• 10:08:37: @smellycents I'll run it if Guy Fieri runs it, but I doubt he will. :)
  
• 10:12:04: @RunningHoosier Did he even go to jail? I've never listened to the entire song haha
  
• 10:34:38: @dyno_ryno I'm right there with you. :)
  
• 10:36:18: Here's at thought... coordinated runs, with bluetooth headsets on the phone, connected to one another via skype.
  
• 10:39:09: @RunningHoosier I also get the feeling this sort of thing is normal for Bubba
  
• 10:40:15: @karrock Ever listen to podcasts or watch running vlogs?
  
• 10:40:21: @karrock runcast.tv, hello
  
• 10:40:51: Hey look, it's 69 degrees. Darn, I have to run. Ow, twist my arm, owie, oh alright, if you make me. I'll go. ;)
  
• 11:59:07: Good thing the Garmin's sweat resistant. Gah.
  
• 11:59:34: @Sweatstudio Yeah normally I wouldn't have had it, but I ran 5 miles and hiked all day, burned about 2800 cals :)
  
• 12:00:04: It's weird too, today wasn't much hotter than yesterday.
  
• 12:01:45: @alitherunner How is that Disney's fault?
  
• 12:04:24: @alitherunner True, but I think she's not involved with disney anymore, is she?
  
• 12:05:27: Eh, 2 degrees warmer. Big whoop. :)
  
• 12:09:18: @jesusaudio It does work, it just holds the battery closer to the contacts. Mine started doing it after I dropped it 5 or 10 times :)
  
• 12:14:56: Ran 5 miles (8:53,8:52,9:24,9:20,11:48), walked .2 mi on RunSaturday - http://tinyurl.com/l4wljc
  
• 12:20:09: @team_enlyten Thanks. I need to slow down a bit, that last mile was rough.
  
• 12:21:20: @jesusaudio Ooh... I just realized, if that's your issue, you can easily demonstrate it to the store. Just close the phone hard.
  
• 12:27:48: @jesusaudio I didn't think mine was from closing the slider until I just tested it. On the spot I folded my restaurant receipt & it worked
  
• 12:35:03: @mondragon There were that many you'd actually use? I've installed a lot but uninstalled a lot as well. #pre
  
• 13:04:31: @runnrgrl You know Google will do all those conversions, right? You just type "1 mile to kilometer" or "25 kilometers to miles"
  
• 13:25:42: @ginaharris1 thanks
  
• 13:26:06: @runnrgrl it's converted everything I've tried. It does celsius.
  
• 13:26:21: @runnrgrl I suppose I haven't tried converting pounds to gallons haha
  
• 13:26:55: @runnrgrl I just tried that, it just gives up and does a google search
  
• 13:28:09: @Runner03 That happened to me once, the system was up & down, I was there 3 hours
  
• 13:29:37: @kelownagurl Now why would I own a Mac? Silly woman.
  
• 13:31:16: @kelownagurl Oh, sorry. ;) BTW on my Pre, it does searches to a bunch of places at once. If I just open it and type "3 pounds to ounces"
  
• 13:31:25: @kelownagurl It immediately does a google search and gives results :)
  
• 13:33:33: @ginaharris1 Yes, but that's work.
  
• 13:35:33: @keeponrunning Until mom has a kanipshun (sp)
  
• 13:35:54: @keeponrunning WHERRRRRRE DID THEY GEEEET CHOCOLATE CAAAAKE FROM?!?!?!
  
• 13:36:09: @keeponrunning BTW that routine was the basis for the pilot/first episode of The Cosby Show
  
• 13:36:18: @keeponrunning They act it out almost verbatim
  
• 13:38:30: @keeponrunning I never saw the live show. From my memory though, the video & the album are the same length.
  
• 13:40:23: @keeponrunning http://bit.ly/8zdr9
  
• 13:49:37: @keeponrunning I have it on VHS, I recorded it in like 1986 :)
  
• 13:50:01: @keeponrunning He even says asshole. It's worth having just to hear Cosby say asshole.
  
• 14:29:03: @grshane Nope, worked fine for me earlier... or should I say, MapMyRun.com worked. They're all the same site.
  
• 14:29:16: @grshane MapMyRun, MapMyRide, MapMyTri, MapMyHike, MapMyWalk
  
• 14:33:53: @grshane I just went to www.mapmyride.com and was able to access my training log just fine
  
• 14:35:00: @grshane while there you should friend me, I'm gchance

• 15:41:08: @cyktrussell hey, I did mine in 6:21 :) It'd be interesting to see the whole thing. I love that sort of thing.
  
• 15:42:23: @beejjorgensen hey dude, when you heading up to lava beds?
  
• 16:01:31: @cyktrussell You do what you gotta do. That's why they say, people out there longer probably need more endurance than the fasties
  
• 16:06:49: That's it, there's not enough bewby talk.
  
• 16:32:33: RT @News10_CA: Report: "Squeaky" Fromme to Be Paroled http://bit.ly/g4Kgk - this is what happens when you have a budget crisis
