did you win ?

Posted by UglyDave on Nov-19-2008 22:31:

thanks bananas..

and no, as the majority of runners (over 50%) are non americans, i figured this would be a better place to post...

So, anybody?

David

Posted by bananas on Nov-19-2008 22:33:

i watched the very end of the race once. i learned one thing in particular, some men get bloody nipples from running marathos. at first i was confused then i put two and two together...i hope you didn't wear something dumb like cotton

Congrats Ran Berlin in September. Incredible experience.

Posted by bananas on Nov-20-2008 01:00:

Fuck, I'd probably pass out or keep stopping for a smoke after every mile.

Congrats Dave!

How long did it take you to get in shape? A fellow NYTA is running the Philadelphia Marathon and he says it's the same distance. 26.2 miles.

That's crazy

Most marathons are that distance

Working towards my first marathon at the moment, June 14th.

you know you're running too much when you get nipple chafeage

or you just tape the nipples before doing a marathon

well, at least marathon runners have good stamina in the sack?

I'm aiming to run the Chicago marathon in October 09, but running all that mileage is going to be intense, and I don't know if I can commit myself to training my body to prep for it.

Originally I was going to do the Chicago triathlon, which is the marathon, plus an additional 26.2 miles of biking, and a 1 mile swim.
Seeing as how I'm afraid to do the marathon on its own, I dont stand a chance doing the tri.

I actually fear that swim more than the run and bike combined.

no no, i hsd a skintight adidas "climacool" top on.. lubed myself up with vaseline too so nipples and inner legs were fine

i think it's called "runners nipple".

MeLLyMeL - i'd been training for about... 8 months... very inconsistently though... if you stuck to a programme, you'd do it in 5 months, and you'd prob do it in a good time too. most weeks i only ran once per week!
