During last night’s run around the high school:
“Todd thinks you’re HOT!”
“Yeah, turn around! Todd thinks you’re hot!!”
I sort of laughed at myself. Oh, high school.
Then I thought to myself, “Wow, I’m 27, and the oldest Todd COULD be is about 17. Hmm. 10 years, really? When did I get old?!?” (I don’t feel old! I feel like high school wasn’t that long ago!!)
Congrats, Jeff, on your overall win at Whistlestop on Saturday! Here he is receiving his award with his daughter, Emma. He ran with the leaders through about 16 miles and then took it out from there. No contest! https://results.chronotrack.com/event/results/event/event-27690 Very proud of you!! I re-read his athlete profile after our first training cycle. He has come…
Gosh, where to start? U of MN Race 17:55, 1st place (lapped the field). Not much to say about it other than I absolutely need to learn how to “hurt” in a short distance race! Yes, I was uncomfortable, but I can hurt so much more. I also need to find some speed. I tried…
to run the Trail Club out of Finn Sisu. It wouldn’t be a huge commitment (plus you’d be able to get your workout done!) — every Monday night and every Saturday morning from July – the end of September. Location: Theo Wirth park. A group of 2-3 would be great, so that individuals wouldn’t have…
This should be interesting – 5k on the track tomorrow morning. 10:45 in case anyone wants to come watch/cheer! I am looking at this as a chance to see where my fitness is at. I ran a 17:52 here in 2011, the year I qualified for the Trials in June. I’d be pumped if I…
One of my athletes asked me the other day: Do you think I could run my goal time right now? I paused for a second and said, “no”. Unbelievable. Olympic Trials Finisher medal, in a PR. Not quite the thing you’d like to hear from your coach, right? I am honest with my athletes. I…
I was nervous about my workout yesterday. 20 miles total with 40 minutes of marathon pace, 1 mile of tempo, 30 minutes of MP, and another mile at tempo. Doing it solo. This is a pretty crazy long workout this far out from the marathon. Ouch! I decided to do this indoors, as the treadmill…
Take the compliment (and try to ignore that teenage boys' standards are questionable!); you're babyfaced enough you could still pass for high school age at a distance.
The first time I felt old was when I could no longer walk on a college campus and be thought to be a student – 20 years ago! My friends are grandparents! Aiyeee!! Make it stop!
LOL! That happens to me sometimes as well. You aren't old, as long as you don't think you are ;)!
