Obama said a week or two after the election something like "America just showed that it's not really concerned with preserving democracy." I think they're all kind of in "Hey, this is what you voted for. Let's see how bad it gets" mode.
Yep, all attacking him does is feed his base energy. They need to wallow in their slop and deal with it.

Since that injury 3 weeks ago, I’ve done very little running. A few treadmill runs and a couple of trail runs, nothing over 3.5 miles. Ankle was feeling decent but not great. I had a ski trip in which it did fine inside my boot, but unfortunately I also had an episode of shingles which affected sleep and my willingness to exercise for a while.
I tried to switch my registration to the half marathon but it was too late to do that. I then decided to show up and run as far as I could until I sensed pain and then I would stop, really not expecting much at all. I like the spectacle and vibes of the race environment and I had already paid so I had nothing to lose. My expectations were so low that I drank 3 glasses of red wine last night because today was just a casual jog.
Turns out, my ankle held up surprisingly well and my stamina from January was still mostly there. The half marathon turnoff came and I became perturbed at the idea of finishing a half and not even getting a medal, but instead a DNF, and I decided screw that, I would finish the full if I had to walk it. My other foot blistered up which never happens, but I think it was a shoe thing.
I powered through and finished with a 4:11 time. Not my fastest but I surprised myself and I’m pretty proud of this one. I’ll rest up and hopefully try again in the fall.That’s some big dog shit right there. Can’t keep a big dog down

Evoking Chainsaw Al Dunlap. Which ended so well for him and his targets.
Albert John Dunlap (July 26, 1937 – January 25, 2019) was an American corporate executive.[2][3] He was known at the peak of his career as a professional turnaround management specialist and downsizer. The mass layoffs at his companies earned him the nicknames "Chainsaw Al"[4] and "Rambo in Pinstripes", after he posed for a photo wearing an ammo belt across his chest.[5] It was later discovered that his reputed turnarounds were elaborate frauds and his career was ended after he engineered a massive accounting scandal at Sunbeam Products, now a division of Newell Brands, that forced the company into bankruptcy.[6] Dunlap is on the lists of "Worst CEOs of All Time" published by several business publications.[7][8]
So he is mentioned in a book I read called “ Good To Great” and it’s about 11 companies that performed better than their peers over a long period of time. He was a terrible leader and none of his companies were on the list of profitable companies
I guess being a raging asshole and chasing short term gain is actually counterproductive

I prefer my tri bike regardless as it helps save my legs for the run. It’s just more fun to ride to me.

I think one long of 11 a month is probably enough now for your upcoming race. Work on bricks and also you need a speed day doing 400 or 800’s with 1 minute rest in between.

Tom Smude of smude’s sunflower oil is happy that government is slashing spending while also confused why he isn’t gonna get government money. Main character syndrome makes another appearance.
Be a shame if someone were to help tom understand the hypocrisy in his worldview.

I think it’s more about being able to run a half marathon after a 3 hour bike ride. I was at 200 per hour last training cycle and bonked at mile 5 of the run in Waco. At 300 per hour, that’s about 75 grams of carbs per hour on the bike. I may even get up to 90 if my stomach can handle it. The last thing I want to do while running is to feel under fueled because you can never catch up on fueling during the running portion.
You might be over doing it. I think I had 3 gels on the bike and 1 on the run for the 70.3. I think salt was your bigger problem.

I made my formal training schedule yesterday evening. May 10th seems so far away. Goal for me is more runs after long rides and more calories and hydration on the bike. I’m going to bump up to 300 calories per hour on the bike during training. And a ton more salt.
I always do 2 salt tablets before a 2 hour ride and 1 before my run. My advice is to be comfortable exercising 4 hours and the rest will come.

Had a decent 9 miler this morning at 8:30ish pace. It was rainy and wet. First morning in two weeks I was able to get out of bed and not wince in pain from my back.
Glad to hear it’s getting better. Your 70.3 is 1 week before mine. It’s so close but so far away.

Naah, not anymore. Shaming people for hurting others just because they want to do whatever the fuck they want, you can't tell me what to do, is "woke." And we don't do no commie "woke" 'round here.
This is basically how I behave with them now. Your dad lost his job because of funding?? Must be woke. You don’t feel good ???? Must be woke. It’s helped me tremendously in that I don’t have to have boring conversations anymore.-

Today was a good run. I was just going to take it easy but I guess I had extra energy after a huge unhealthy lunch and ended up running 7.5 miles at a 6:20 average and was feeling great. If I could just hold a 7:15 pace for the 70.3 I would be thrilled.

Shoot. I ran the Pearland half last year and the provider of port-a-potties didn’t drop the shitters off until I was crossing the finish line. Needless to say I found some bushes that needed a wizzing on before the race. Houston Running Co. is a terrible race sponsor. They misspelled ‘Marathon’ on the race medal and only remade them after a bunch of people called them out on their shit (no shitters, misspelled medals). I thought the misspelling was funny. A half marathon isn’t a big deal for me but it’s a big deal to a lot of people. People are super proud of that medal and it can make someone disappointed if their medal is misspelled. I didn’t think the port a potty thing was a big deal because I shit like clockwork when I wake up in the mornings but a lot of folks aren’t like me. My wife was pisssssed and swore them off even after they sent a $5 off coupon for this years race. She needed to use it before, during and after the race. Fuck Houston Running Co.
there are 2 things you can bet on for race day with me.
1. I will be fast.
2. I will dookie before I leave my house.

Thank you. Appreciate the kind words.
You are 4 years older than me and about 2 minutes off of my fastest time. You are elite for your age. Be proud of that.

I’ve ran 23 miles this week and cycled for 3 hours with 0 swimming. Today is a rest day and tomorrow is a 3 mile run since I have a half Sunday where I will be pushing a chair again. I can probably break 1:40 but she will get out and walk the last 10 yards of finish line so that might slow my time up. Did I mention I get competitive ??
