The Running Thread - 2018

Maybe this is why trashsquirrel has been in my family for actually a few years now.

You know that once you give him a name, he's really more like a pet?

I'll bet you leave him a little extra treat on Thanksgiving!

And now I know how to make sure you don't eat my pizza. #TeamPepperoni&Pineapple

That is a heavenly combo. I like it better than ham & pineapple.

Ham, Pineapple and Black Olives is my jam. So technically I eat trash pizza and then when I don't finish it, it becomes pizza trash.

It's the circle of garbage.

With all of this pizza talk, let me encourage you all to put green chilies (I just used the diced caned ones) on your homemade pizza. Best topping ever.

QOTD: Does your job require you to stay on your feet all day, sit behind a desk, work indoors, or outside? How does your job effect your training and recovery?

For me it depends on what phase of a project we're in. During planning, I'm generally sitting behind a desk all day and the only real physical exertion is the mile or so walk from the parking lot to the office. When we're executing the project, I spend a lot more time on my feet, particularly walking between worksites. Sitting all day after a hard workout leaves my legs pretty stiff, so I find that the more active days are better for recovery.

One of the more recent things they've done in my office is give us desks that can be raised into a standing desk. I like the idea, but I've found standing still in front of a computer for more than an hour or two just wears me out.

Pizza talk here and now dominos is popping up on my Instagram feed! I think I’m being watched.

That would do it. Pineapple is only good in tacos al pastor.

That would do it. Pineapple is only good in tacos al pastor.

Or as a vessel for a cocktail.

I’ve eaten more pizza in the last’s month than I care to admit but no to pineapple yes to veggies.

 

[roxymama]

Caught red-pawed! Our last untouched pumpkin has become compromised.

Omg...screw pizza...I want tacos al pastor now!!!

I interrupt the food discussion to announce I might have a goal at Rock and Roll San Antonio. Meb is pacing the 1:40 group, so I might join the mob that will be trying that pace....

@BikeFan congrats on a great race! I'll be at MCM too!

Thanks! It looks like we might just miss the rain on Sunday. I think @croach is running MCM as well. If you all want to meet up with my running crew after the race for a celebratory lunch, send me a PM! Good luck at MCM!!

ATTQOTD:
Big running weekend coming up
Did an easy 6 today.
5k tomorrow speed run
The weekend consist of 6 slow easy miles on Saturday followed by 18 miler for Sunday
The dopey training is in full swing.

1. 30-40% standing. My lunch "hour" consists of 15 min shoveling food into my mouth while typing frantically into a computer, checking results, and returning calls. Meanwhile, my husband's lunch "hour" consists of driving to the gym, running for 20 min, taking a shower, and driving someplace for food.
2. Pizza: pepperoni only, the greasier the better, no blotting off with napkins for me. Because I have a child's tastebuds.
3. 3 easy miles and 12 mi long run.

Was going to but decided to skip it since I’lm doing W&D the next weekend. Hate missing it though. It’s a great race.

Good luck and enjoy the race!

You should still run it at an easy pace! I'm doing W&D too, but just taking both races at easy pace. They're just tune-up runs for me.
