Dropping a couple of seconds per mile until you run out of gas and then catching a ride back to wherever you left your car at? could be interesting!! Also, do we need to permission to run one of these? Is there an entry fee?The Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146223883009444708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-62409215754978313722008-06-20T10:05:00.000-04:002008-06-20T10:05:00.000-04:00I tried limboing yesterday but made it a tad more ...I tried limboing yesterday but made it a tad more challenging just to prove I'm more of a bad-arse than you. I ran my first mile at a comfortable pace, then sped things up for my second. I saw that my 2nd mile was 16 seconds faster, so that meant I had to run my third mile AT LEAST 16 seconds faster. Ran that 19 seconds faster, so my 4th mile had to be at least 19 seconds faster (ran it 21 seconds faster).<BR/><BR/>Then I barfed up a lung and went back to a reasonable pace for miles 5 and 6.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855134674264531625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-70082621327707347712008-06-19T21:19:00.000-04:002008-06-19T21:19:00.000-04:00Good post.

My biggest problem is that I am too comfortable at my own pace and set myself on autopilot without changing gears. Endurance is what I thrive on. I would stay on autopilot for a long time. I don't have any desire to push myself to the edge with any fancy terminology.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854434513420932216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-14469532093329824282008-06-19T13:26:00.000-04:002008-06-19T13:26:00.000-04:00Praise be with Garmin.The Limbo runs sounds way to...Praise be with Garmin.<BR/><BR/>The Limbo runs sounds way to hard.
