Anyone else for Bronx 1/2 Sunday?

Donovan, there was a long shot you might show up for a 21k training
run. Is that gonna happen?

Nah, probably not. A bunch of my teammates will be showing up, but I
wimped out.

Cheers,

Actually, more like "tear it up", your butt I mean.

Even though I'm busy in France, I'm taking a break and running this
marathon. See you there punk.

Just do me one favor, big daddy: dress up like the construction worker.
I'm tired of the Indian outfit and always found the cop a little
scary.

I'll be the one in the tutu and Nike ballet slippers. Number 1137 as
always.

cp, you're on your own pal, make us proud! it's tomorrow/sat right?
any special prep for this? a taper? how about diet cp....do anything
special 24-48 hours before a 1/2? you're doing the whole grand prix
series...right?

You've confused your "Lances", you are talking about Lance Andrews, I'm
Lance Armstrong, the greatest frikin' bi-bicyclist alive! YEEEEE HAW!

Will you have that target painted on your butt cheeks again? It helped
me get a bull's eye.

Sun, 8 AM. Already dreading rolling out of bed around 5, a good four
hours earlier than I might otherwise.

As for making anyone proud: well, feel free to bask in some pride that
despite being older than I, you're a good deal faster. I hope and
expect to break 1:30 this year, but not this week.

Not knowing the course, and expecting it to really heat up during the
race (high around 90F ultimately), I'm hesitant to set a specific time
goal. Just hope to run a better race than at Queens; would compare
overall and AG places, but unfortunately I started 10 min after the gun
@ Queens so my places are way off... so maybe the comparison is to
where I would have placed @ 1:36:14.

More an abrupt mini-rest than a taper per se: no running Fri & Sat
after doubling both Wed & Thu (~10 mi each day). Plenty of walking,
may hop on the bike.

Diet: other than avoiding the notorious fish tacos down the street,
nothing too special. May aim for higher carbs as % of total than my
usual, which is probably on the low side for a 6 day/week runner; but
I'm not busting out the food scale or slide rule. Nothing too fatty or
fiberrific or overfilling the night before (and I won't be asking Paula
Radcliffe for restaurant recs); toast with jam, coffee with sugar and
soy creamer, and Accelerade the morning of. Will bring Endurox (with
ice, in Polar bottle) for post-race.

That's right, though I wouldn't anticipate doing it again. For one
thing I'd like to return to Utica for the Boilermaker, which has been
the same day as Bronx 1/2 in 04-05 at least.
