Ugh, I mentioned above that I'm not super happy with my PRs because I know I can do better. Now I'm gonna have to go rejoin track, thanks a lot.

Anyway:
100: 11:39
200: 23.35
400: 52.4
300h: 41.89

And my high school high hurdle time and college 400 hurdle time are too icky for me to post, just not happy with those at all. XD

Yeah, I mean, I couldn't catch you in the 1 or the 2. No chance. Maybe if I had a good day, I'd break 24 for the 200. The 400 is a different question altogether, but I never really had the chance to run one when I was in good shape at the end of the season. It's funny how it worked out, I started off doing mostly 200's, and then skipped the 400's to all of a sudden run mostly 800's by the end of the year. Funny enough, I've only run a handful of them (maybe 5), yet it's already my best (running) event.

My school hurdles times, I get bonus points for hitting all of the hurdles right?

You didn't know? The time you receive is actually [The time you ran] - [.5*Hurdles hit].

Sweet, so my time is actually about -3 seconds! (I was so good I even managed to hit the other players hurdles!)

time in seconds, not in minutes

I'll be running a 10k over in Santa Cruz this weekend (Sunday). Normally that wouldn't be terribly exciting or noteworthy, but there are more than 15,000 runners, which is a massive number for an event this size.

Really looking forward to it.

Just finished this:

I've got to say, running 6 miles with 15,000 people was a blast. There were no waves, just a mass start. There were some people seeded for world class runners (~25 minute range) but the rest of us got to run, weave, dodge, and dance our way through the massive field.

It really was a joy, even if PR's weren't really an option (dropped about 10 minutes moving through traffic).

Just got home from running a Marathon. 3:55. /psyched

I'm exhausted, I hurt, I need a beer (or many), pain killers, more beer, a blanket, and nap. Good times.

[dondon151]

I can't even run an 8 minute mile...

[loppo]

I just finished my first marathon in 3:51.

Oh wait that was 2001. Since then i got a job, a wife, two kids and +15kg. So i'm out of this game. Loved runnig, back then. 

[Galzria]

Mmm... Tough Mudder...

[mcmcsalot]

yay runners! I being a younger sibling followed my brother into track in grade school but had a much greater passion for soccer(better at it too) I dropped soccer in high school in favor of the more intellectual and friendly cross country team. My times were no where that of my brothers but I managed to match him as a captain of both teams. I think my 800 time might have been around his it was my best race. After high school I stopped running as much but stayed as close to the sport as possible. My roommate freshman year trained and ran a marathon, my roommate sophomore year was a triathlete(on our college team and very good, I'll have to ask him some times), and this past year I lived with a former teammate who runs cross country and track for MSU. I live with my girlfriend now and were training to run a half marathon in the summer, its been a long while since I ran for a purpose and I am looking forward to it. Oh during college I have picked up ultimate frisbee and play it as frequently as possible, so I'm not a total lazy bum. I've always wanted to try a triathalon(sprint) but am a horrendous swimmer and have no bike

Cool!

Without pushing us too far into RSP, I have been thinking a lot about my running days and my runner friends in light of the Boston Marathon bombing. The running community is pretty close-knit so my heart really went out to them.

I have been missing track since the season is upon us. I am still in college and could still be out there on the team, but the nature of the program here and some of my other involvement make it unlikely that I'll rejoin.

I injured my knee two months ago, and have been unable to run ever since. It's very jarring. I ran several miles roughly every other day for the last 10 years. I've realized recently that not running is taking a huge toll on my emotional and mental well being. I need the thinking time that running provides.

This has also been on my mind. Of course it would be just as sad if some other group of people had been attacked, but I can't help but think about how exciting it is to cross the finish line and accomplish something like that... and then to see or be apart of what was happening yesterday. Just horrible.

Are you recovering ok? Are you able to substitute something lower-impact like the elliptical?

No and no. I mean, I can do stuff, it just causes my knee to feel a lot worse. I mean, even walking on it makes it feel worse. It doesn't really hurt as long as I'm not using it. I just think it's like the world's worst case of tendinitis, but it's not getting better. Anyway, I'm getting an MRI next week.

Sounds rough. I hope you're able to get that figured out and get back running soon. Tendinitis can be a real pain.

Thanks for the well wishes! I don't want to overstate it, I can get around and everything and I'm not in a lot of pain... but running is a big part of who I am and not doing it is really unhealthy for my soul, I'm discovering.

Have you considered picking up biking?  Serious road biking is a really great alternative to running.  When I had a stress fracture a couple summers ago I spend most of my usual running time biking instead.  Emotionally, it does the same thing as running and it has the added bonus that you can get more variety into routes because you can go farther.  The downsides though are that you need the gear, a convenient location and it's a longer time commitment to get the same physical exertion.
