Sweeper for marathon today.

25k/Marathon race. both races ran together to the 8 mile mark. 25k turned left marathon right. Signs everywhere and volunteers yelling direction. Some dude went the wrong way and didn't know it till the finish.

Then he turned around and ran back to his wrong turn. 7 miles including a 2.5 mile climb up a mountain. His plan was to rerun the marathon course. Basically run 40 miles total. Then he got pissed that they took down the aid stations. he expected people to wait in the forest all day for his dumb arse.

Considering the farthest I've ever ran is one 1/4 mile (I walk or hill climb almost all the time), you guys are awesome!! And you make me want a nap. :)

The day I ran the whole lap, I did walk a lap and ran another one. That was my personal best, which next you guys isn't squat. Keep up the good work! I still like following this thread even if it makes me feel like a loser. :)

Bought some compression socks today. They are pretty nice. It feels like someone has been massaging my calves all day. Don't think I will train in them quite yet. I'll wait till it gets a little cooler.

PS. Congrats SD! That's a very respectable time for a first half. Keep at it and I know you will break 2 hours.

Nothing to be disappointed about, you finished the race and thats a really good time for your first half. Now that you have finsihed one your next one you should just shoot for improving that time. Even if it's only by a minute or two. Just keep at it and keep training and it will come!

Ran my fasted three miles Saturday morning 21:14. Getting closer to busting that 21 minute mark. I am hoping by the end of the summer if not sooner I can break that mark.

I'm looking for a run tracking app for Android. I Googled but came across different lists that ranked basically the same apps but all in different orders.

Does anyone have one they recommend?
