QOTD

"I think I bit off more than I could chew, I thought the marathon would be easier."
- Lance Armstrong after the 2006 NY marathon

I did about 18 miles yesterday in about 2 hours, 40 minutes... didn't really push it, so it was good.
I think I was about an hour away from 26.2.
Now, could I run another hour or so?
I think so.

But jeez, it was pretty hot and sunny out there by 10:00-ish when I was done. I sure sure sure hope that Milwaukee is cooler in 5 weeks. Gulp.
I'm torquing up the training a little bit more than the schedule calls for and going 20 miles each of the next 2 weekends. I'm on the wagon after today's (Labor Day) blowout. Huzzah!

QOTD2

"You're all worthless and weak."
- Niedermeyer, "Animal House"

It's actually a little fun to have a real, uncompromising answer to the question: are you a little faker tourist weener or not? We shall see, Mr. Marathon.
run bill run... yow, bill

PS - Can't resist...
QOTD3

"I logged a lot of miles training for that day, and I downed a lot of donuts. Little chocolate donuts."
- John Belushi, Saturday Night Live skit

PPS - I just found this... Sarah Palin, McCain's VP choice, ran the Humpy's Classic Marathon in 2005. She ran it in just under 4 hours... smoking yours truly (4 hours, 44 seconds) from last year. He he. You can check it out at this site... click on 2005 and enter last name "Palin":
