I started thinking back to Ironman. The week of CdA I came across a link on Slowtwitch to a video. I immediately knew it was going to be a hit with Coach Paulo because it is aligned with his method of coaching. But it also was just what I needed because I knew the race was going to open up a world of hurt that I'd never visited before. When I felt a low point I remembered the words of Chopper Reid:
(warning- use of the F-bomb)
So today I grabbed my special hat on the way out the door to go for a trail run with Colleen. And the run was wonderful. Absolutely the best run I have had in 6 months. We hit 5.5 miles and I wanted to do more. But I didn't, because I'm saving it up for my big race next weekend. A huge 5k!
I'm gunning for a PR next weekend. Considering I haven't done a 5k in almost 2 years, I think I just might be able to knock back a sub- 25:40. Especially if I HTFU.

Not as hot as Model 6, but pretty cute nonetheless :-)
Awesome video! And even better hat - especially since nobody will know what it really means when they see ya running.
I see me some Under Armour up on you. You know what's good.
I think you need to say that to everyone you pass in the last mile of your 5k - they may hate you, but I bet they'll all PR too :-)
I thought it meant Hurry TFU. Either way should help to get your booty in gear :) Just don't grow a mustache!
LOL... Yea, I've seen that one. That 5K PR doesn't stand a chance!!!
My money's on yous gonna CRUSH that 5K PR! And then we are SO going sub 23 this spring...yahooooooooooooooo!!!
(can you tell I might get the OK to start running again today?) :)
Nice "special hat!" Good luck on the PR - and here's to a better week!
Don't let too much tailgaiting thwart your PR, cuz beer's probably the only thing that could keep you from a sub 25.
Love the hat! Sounds to me like you've got a better than good chance of nailing that PR.
Nice motto! I am looking forward to Pigskin this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best Video Ever!
With that attitude you should have no problem to knock back a sub 25:40. Go for it.
