Papillion [20161108]: A mile with The Boy

We ran .5 out from Target, and .5 back; one walk break (too much talking by Keaton, led to a loss of of breath) and a stop to workout @ the Hunter Crossing neighborhood workout park (like the one in Halleck Park and Elmwood Park).

Registered The Boy w/ USATF today; he'll be ready to rock the 2k at Sunday's "USATF NE Junior Olympics". :D

Linny Boom for The Boy!!!

Going back down the ladder with 3 x 2 miles today, 1/2 mi jog (5:00) between. 13:09 (6:26/6:43), 13:03 (6:25/6:38), 13:14 (6:33/6:41). Avg. 13:09 (@6:34). A bit (12s/mi) slower than a couple weeks ago but I am really feeling the "cumulative fatigue" and trying to reign it in just a bit with my adductor issues. Kept it on the LaPlatte gravel with first one out, 2nd one back and last one out and back. Breeze was a bit of an issue but otherwise another beautiful day.

World Major #4

Pre-Race. Nightmare.
6:00 - I went to the subway, but must have just missed a train. Stood for 20 minutes waiting for the next one.
6:20 - Packed standing in a subway for 30 minutes or so
6:50 - Caught my scheduled 6:45 ferry to Staten Island. Finally got to sit.
7:20 - Arrive in Staten Island. Takes forever to disembark and then wait in a huge crowd to leave the port.
8:20 - Finally get on a bus to the start. My corral was to open at 8:10 and close at 9:00. Still feeling okay since it is not a long distance.
8:40 - Bus not moving
9:00 - Bus not moving, corral closed?
9:10 - Hop off bus and run to starters village.
9:20 - Stand in line to corral which I have been told closed on schedule for Wave 1.
9:30 - See them let somebody go through so I fight to the front and am allowed in. Now I have to fight my way to the front as everybody from Wave (regardless of corral) is making their way up the bridge.
9:35 - Make it the starting line. Oops, didn't have time to go to the bathroom
9:50 - Start - nearly 4 hours after I left my hotel and 2.5 hours on my feet.

The Race. Okay
Started out at 6:40 miles
Mile 4 - A shoe come untied
Mile 10 - Finally had to stop for a bathroom break
Mile 16 - Saw Debra at which point I still didn't know if I was going to have a strong finish like my last two marathons or grind to the finish.
Mile 20 - Knew it was going to be a grind.
Mile 24 - Tried to appreciate that this could be last sub 3 marathon as I ran it in.

This race ended being almost identical to Berlin 2012 in every regard, including the splits.

BE - 21:13, 20:56, 20:57, 21:02, 21:02, 21:05, 20:57, 21:42, 9:44 = 2:58:39

NY - 20:41, 20:47, 20:42, 21:16, 21:15, 20:35, 21:17, 22:07 9:42 = 2:58:22

Postrace - Awkward
After a loooooong walk and getting my swanky blue poncho, I found Debra. Many funny looks on the subway and Times Square as I walked back to the hotel. I was obviously the first marathoner all of these people had seen. They would see thousands more as the day went on.

The funniest thing was everybody wearing their medals long after the race was over. That night, tons of people who had showered and cleaned up, wore their medals out. That's not me, but at least I get it. However, what I didn't understand was everybody on Monday all over town and in the airport still wearing their medals. They're probably all wearing them at work today as well.

carljsamuelson Hey Squintz! Nice race today, even for a Jolly Jogger like you. ;)

moxie And that's why I don't know if I'll run a big city marathon. TCM was interesting, but nowhere near as crazy as you're describing. I walked to the start from my airbnb and was back to the start from the their buses within 25 minutes. Nice work regardless.

Headed South for 4 miles and pretty much explored the entire length of trail. Uneventful morning of running. Stopped and grabbed a breakfast burrito on my ride into work. Between it and the chocolate ilk I'm a bit more satisfied than usual after breakfast.

Me, Matt, and Greg on a chilly morn....Big time NYC recap from the Greger. He ran it as a training run with a charity group. Sounded way awesome. My legs were dead, and I felt pretty wimp-ville with these two who just ran NYC and had a 1:28 Halfsy. Ann told me this weekend that life stress leads to running pits....precisely!! :/

Today, Matt and I are headed to Elm Creek for some Burwell playoff football. Not sure where Elm Creek is located, but I will soon find out.

Happy BDay, Edie. Welcome to Master-Ville!! Good times.

Big Day in the USA. Go cast your ballot today. As scary as this election has been, the thought of living in a country where you don't have the right to share your opinion, is even scarier. It might not always seem that way, but we truly are so very fortunate. Go Vote.

Dan Holy smokes, Molly must have grown a foot since I last saw her! Nice Halfsy for both of you!

Did a 12-mile loop from home to Field Club to South O to Keystone to Elmwood to home. Really enjoyable run. A bit cold on the way back home. Did weights + PT routine post.

To those of you that will be voting today, be safe. This may be the most important election of your life. Truly consider the importance of your pencil marks on a poorly-designed ballot. Some projections actually put Omaha into play with its single electoral vote, which means your vote may actually matter this cycle.
