9 Days Until Grandma's Marathon!

Nine very good reasons why bike shorts are black (click the links):

Reasons 1-5

Reasons 6-9


Some of those “reasons” are pretty impressive! In that last photo, they seem to be arguing about what time it is: 3 of them think it's 11:00, while 1 of them thinks it's about 1:30. Interesting...

In an actual workout update, I’ve seen Dr. Folske for 2 more ART sessions on my heel. He’s been doing his thing to me, and it’s helping. He had me go for a quick 4 miler the other day, and it went well for how fast I was going (4 miles in 23:46 - that’s 5:57/mile, yo!). My speed is still there, but will I do OK with long runs that were cut short due to my achilles? Tune-in 9 days from now to find out...

  4. I feel like I'm on Sesame Street with all the count downs. "Nine! Nine good reasons to wear black shorts! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

    Reasons 6-9 seem a bit digitally enhanced, though.

  6. You are SOOOOO bad! Where do you come up with this stuff? The other thing....only you would put it on your blog!

    BTW, my finger really got moving on the scroll bar when my 11 year old came along and started reading over my shoulder. She seemed less impressed or concerned than I. Thank god!

    I've got my fingers crossed for you with the Grandma's Marathon. You're gonna rock!

  7. It would seem that picture number 2, aside from the whole time confusion thing, contains some freakishly large hardware. Do you suppose those babies are real? Maybe you should post the picture of their bowlegged girlfriends?

    Sending happy marathon thougts your way!

  8. Some of those guys must have been up to something other than bike riding. My equipment is the opposite of happy after a few hours on the bike.

  9. photo #2 - could that be a photoshop job? I hear the bloat tool works wonders!

  10. These pictures make me feel a little digitally enhanced myself. Is that wrong?

  14. Let's see how they look after a swim in Lake Coeur d'Alene (currently 51 degrees). SHRINKAGE!

  15. Haha, I've seen that first pic before. I'm also calling BS on that second one! Pretty funny though. Glad you had a good run! Loving the countdown posts. :)

  16. Let's play 'one of these things is not like the other'.
    It is fun to dream.
    And oh yeah, what wedgie and jen said.

  20. Whoa. I've seen the top pic before, but the one with the guys in the white shorts...that's just wrong. Unless they're competiting in a stripper-dance-off they should never have agreed to wearing those outfits.

    ReplyDelete
  21. um. yeah. please warn us next time

    ReplyDelete
  22. Ooooooo la la LMAO! Actually I think those pics are hee-larious!

    ReplyDelete
  23. God bless the fashion police that let that one slide.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wow... that's all I can say and yet it covers so many thoughts!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh dear goodness! I have nothing more to say!

  27. white short guys...they need to start "rowing" in the same direction!

    seen the red ones before. never seem to tire of it though.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't think the guys in the 2nd photo are cyclists. Not enough padding in those shorts!

  29. How do they get in the aero pothose things?!
