I did a 10 miler this morning. I deviated from my scheduled rest day because I felt like running a bit further this morning.  

Life is looking good, My weight is under control, should be at 160 for UVM.

Blood pressure is: 98/67 s/d

Resting Heartbeat: 39 bpm (this morning)

NICE 10 miler! What/where are you running tomorrow?

From jun on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:41:47 from 66.239.250.209

My body sheds waste in 12 minutes. Or at least I refer to it as the "12 Minute Rule". Everyone in my family and most of my friends understand this rule. Hahahaha.

And I feel bad because I may have hurt a friends feelings this morning by telling him that I thought running the SGM was cheating.

From Tom Slick on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:54:24 from 172.191.41.68

Hey Smooth, I haven't decided where to run yet. Where are you going to be? I didn't get any bites on running some long run miles on the UVM for this weekend, so I'll probably do a short run down on the Porter Rockwell trail.. I'm guessing that you will be looking for about an 8 miler tommorrow, won't you? talk to me...

From Tom Slick on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:56:03 from 172.191.41.68

Jun: you'll have to tell us about this 12 minute turn around ?

From Tom Slick on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:57:22 from 172.191.41.68

RivertonPaul: The corn story is not a nutrution program, its a test to see how fast your system sheds bodily waste.....so to enable you to hit the starting line just after you visit the Green Temple of Doom fresh and ready to run, lighter on your feet if you will!

From Tom Slick on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:58:08 from 172.191.41.68

Marc; SGM is some 723 ft lower in elevation than UVM and the overall elevation drop at UVM is some 1097 feel less than SGM.

SGM overall elevation drop: 2560 ft

UVM overall elevation drop: 1463ft

From jun on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:59:13 from 66.239.250.209

It's a simple rule: After a good meal i generally have 12 minutes before I need to use the restroom. 12 minutes. I don't think it applies to what you are talking about, but its funny. And I like to hit the toilets about 10 minutes before the gun goes off. I'd prefer closer, but I get too nervous I'll miss out. The same thing applies to going to the movies.

From Smooth on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:59:19 from 174.23.201.210

I am going to run 13 in your neck of the woods tomorrow. Bunch of us are meeting at 7am at the Draper City Park to run on the Porter Rockwell Parkway. Wanna join us?

From Tom Slick on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 16:09:16 from 172.191.41.68

Yea Smooth,

I'll be there and run a few miles with ya all.

From Smooth on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 16:09:46 from 174.23.201.210

Your resting heart beat is 39? WOW!!! If mine ever gets that low, Larry would call 911 or start CPR! LOL :D

From Smooth on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 16:11:33 from 174.23.201.210

COOL! Look for the teal color Boston shirt wearing short woman, and a very tall pregnant woman! :)

From Rhett on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 17:08:08 from 74.32.222.202

Check, Check, Check. Sounds like your fit and healthy. Keep up the good work.

From Tom Slick on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 17:19:05 from 172.191.41.68

I'm pretty proud of my stats, for a 59 year old fart.

From Teena Marie on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 19:18:13 from 174.52.45.85

WOW!!!! Did I read that resting heart rate correctly??? That is Lance type numbers!!! You ROCK!!!!! No way I am falling for the "old fart" trick! You are anything but that!

Nice miles today!!!! :)

From RAD on Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 14:52:30 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks for hanging with the heavy breather and slow pregnant lady today! It was GREAT to meet you, and I hope to have another great run with y'all again soon!
