For the workout - we continue to get some very un-fall like weather, which should keep our turn out levels high, but might actually impact our ability to max out on our workout. Usually the crisper fall temps come along with a little increase in performance as you no longer have to worry about over heating. But, who can argue with some sustained beautiful weather? We are due for 1/2 mile intervals this week. The number of reps are to be determined on an individual basis. We can discuss them quickly at the pre-game meeting before the run.
OK, now to spice things up a little. Who else just cannot get enough of Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus? No, I'm being serious. It's actually a good song. (If you consider pop music good music, that is.) Give the song a listen (again) without thinking of who is singing it...and it's a very good pop song.
For some lessons in appropriate construction apparel, give the video a watch (170+ million views cannot be wrong!):
Hey, let those among us who have not sat naked on construction equipment cast the first hammer. Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the tasteful side-boob. (Several times.)
Interestingly enough, the "directors cut" is just the close-up on her face the entire time. So, if you want the more emotional view (and no tasteful side-boob), you can watch just the one camera look:
Where was I? Oh yeah - how about those powerful lyrics?
"Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you"
Which totally reminds me of Sara running her first 5k race this Sunday at the Teal Ribbon Run (Hope for Heather). This wasn't truly a photo bomb, maybe more like a photo grenade? Here is a photo tweeted by Wayne Mahar today:
Seriously, those are TRYers in the background. (You may need to enlarge for full effect.) Right behind Wayne's well muscled right shoulder is Jake, then between his still chiseled jaw and Lisa Spitz's head is Sara, and then just peeking over Wayne's blue collar is a shot of my tasteful side-forehead. What a moment! We were tweeted by Wayne Mahar.
Speaking of which, we'll have to ask Sara to be sure, but I believe she was more excited to meet and get introduced to Wayne Mahar than she was to do her first 5k race. (Understandably). All told, what an exciting Sunday morning for Sara. Congrats on all accounts!
"I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground"
The post standard did a nice job today with an article summarizing the upcoming zombie themed runs in the area - including the "run from the dead" and the "escape from fright nights". So, instead of re-doing that, I might as well just link to their article.
"I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me"
This weekend, Sue is putting the s-u-e back in yracs and turning us once again into Syracuse. Hopefully most of you get to see her on her visit. Also, I believe this is the Wineglass Marathon weekend, so Janna's training should be coming to an end. Good luck Janna!
"I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should have let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win"
Good lessons for us all! Thank you Miley, for putting voice to what we've all been through at some point in our lives. Let's make a point to be less like a wrecking ball going forward and be more constructive with our relationships. It's OK to let someone else win once in a while.
Finally - I did some long overdue bookkeeping on the blog. On the right hand side, just under the calendar are the Essential TRY Links, including the explanation, the marathon marathon story, and all the More Meat articles, including the one on compression apparel that Kelly penned earlier this year. Enjoy!
