How was everyone's MCM? TOUGH OUT THERE yesterday.

[grateful]

I did OK. It didn't feel good, but I came in at the slow end of my goal.  I talked to so many people who ran their slowest race ever. The conditions were brutal, and runners were suffering out there. Looking forward to running Rehoboth, where things should be alot better!

the rain was insane from 10-11, was having a hard time driving, so only imagine it was hard for the runners
saw a bunch of you and gave a few cheers as was taking my kid to the Nat'l Gall East Wing

How Fast Would You Run A Marathon?

although I noticed there was not a field to say if you wore vaporflies?

[sweetcell]

so are you guys now sporting the Nike Vaporfly kicks....
In the last 13 months alone, male runners have recorded the 5 fastest marathon times ever in Vaporfly's

The winner of the New York City Marathon and the fastest marathoner in the world have one thing in common: Both wear the same controversial shoes

[sweetcell]

Nike's controversial shoe will be commercially available this year
A variant of the shoe that powered the first ever sub-two-hour marathon could be yours later this year.

I've found when I sit on the couch with my Nike Vaporfly's...my belly grows faster than it did before...amazing shoes

Do not wear shoes and I recommend training in Gaborone

With Stage 3 arthritis in my knee, my marathoning days are officially over.

[sweetcell]

maybe the vaporflies can counter that?

[hutch]

Did you get arthritis from all the running or ballooning?!?

What did your hot Dr say?

What is ballooning?

Neither my PCP nor the orthopedist could give me a definitive answer on that. IMO, the running contributed. He said he didn't think it would make it worse to keep running in moderation, though why run if you're in pain? There's other ways to exercise. I was also diagnosed with rotator cuff tendonitis, frozen shoulder, and plantar fibroma. Still nothing about my hands. Getting old, good times!

With all the old people on here, maybe we should do a health woes thread?

[hutch]

I see

Ballooning is putting on weight
