Giant Flying Turd

AP Nov 13 2011. The 13th day of November proved unlucky for a quiet Colorado neighborhood. In the midst of another extreme windstorm typical of this area, residents woke up on a Sunday morning to find a GIANT FLYING TURD!!! The look of terror on the faces of these flamingos says it all.

Hard to comprehend...

To preface, and while it goes without saying - I'm by no means a world class endurance athlete. That being said, I've done a couple of marathons, a handful of triathlons and a dozen other races of varying distances. So tonight I went up to the local high school football field to do some "speed work"... just work on doing some sprints, get the heart rate up, work on the 'fast twitch' muscles if you will, etc., So for kicks, and using my GPS watch to measure my time, and the football lines to measure the distance - I took off on a flat-out-100-yard-sprint... goal to goal, with the wind at my back on a brand new AstroTurf field. I wanted to see how fast I could run it. I'm pushing.. and when I'm about half way my quads are aching, I'm even throwing in audible grunts every few strides as I am REALLY trying to let it rip for 100 yards straight, leave it all out there, etc. I even start to fade with about 20 yards to go but notice this an hit the pedal again, knowing I can rest once I cross the opposing goal line. Right as I cross the line, marking 100 yards - I stop my watch .. I proceed to put my hands on my head and walk around in a meandering circle as I struggle to even out my breath again. My lungs are burning, and with every heart beat it seems that my vision also blurs. When I look down at my watch, I ran a 100 yards at a "pace per mile" of 4:37 ... meaning if I could carry on that pace for 1 mile, I'd run the mile in 4:37. Not too bad. Then I read this....

"...Geoffrey Mutai won the 26.2 Mile NYC Marathon, finishing with a time of 2:05:06. It was something of a spectacle for the thousands of fans who lined the city's streets to witness what Mutai accomplished. He averaged a 4:47-per-mile pace over the course of 26.2 miles"

un-bee-lievable.

Happy Halloween!

Fall Clashes With Summer

,

Fall wind clashes with summer breeze
Pink flamingos, lime chairs with golden trees
Red leaves crowd the flower bed
Pink summer rose is not yet dead
Shadows stretch long even at high noon
That frickin’ snow will be here soon…

Diva Bees off to their best start

The Diva Bees are now 3-0 after victories over the Pixies (13-4), a come from behind victory over the Tigers (8-5) and a near shutout over the Mermaids last night (4-1). I will say that last year (before I was the coach) they couldn't beat the Mermaids but this year they had their stingers out and made the Mermaids look like a fish out of water.
