Lanier 5k Race

[Powder]

I am in a mid winter workout rut. It is crappy out and cold and I need motivation to get my bum out more and put down better quality milage.
I know there has to be other people that jog and run that will be there.
Just for fun I am by no means a competitive level runner, a hand full of screws and metal plates in my leg have a lot to do with that. Anyway, I say we get some kind of challenge with some form of bet going on.
Since it is the beginning of summer a nice 5k would be a good distance and most people should be able to do that.
Any takers?
Ideas for what is at stake?

[michael950]

Depending on how many people you can get to join, start a pool.

Those who complete the run enter in a raffle for the pot.

$20 entrance fee/person?

I'm game.

How about we put titles to our ski's on the line. :cool2:

No really I'm not a fast runner either. I definitely won't be the first across the line, but that would be some good motivation to work for until then. :biggthumpup:

Let's make it one of those 5K's where everyone has to chug a beer at the end of it. :beerchug:

[Moondance]

great idea; too bad i don't run:biggrin: but i will lead a cheer:cheer:

not bad idea. Maybe make it $xx to enter and you get XXX number of raffle tickets for per place LIke 1st 100 tickets 2nd 50 all depending on how many people enter? That way the money goes to something other then my pocket :cool2:

How about we put titles to our ski's on the line. :cool2:
BRB have to go run another 5000000 wind sprints.

[sjetrider]

I am in as long as there is a Winston break at 1K and 3K

[the only couch rider]

the 5k is a great idea... if nothing else, just for the fun of it... but instead of a beer at the end, there should be a mandatory beer chug every 1k. its awesome watching people run/puke. :biggrin:


kinda like keg softball, take a hit from the keg at every base?

[WAB]

I would rather be getting wet than sweating in a 5k, but if there was others partisipating and trash talking, I'd be down with it.
What you say saki? I'll even push you half way in your wheelchair.

[Powder]

imho, i don't really think it will materialize tho... which is a good thing. i'd rather be doing other stuff that weekend. :cat37:

DAMN making excuses already :pokey:
sounds like the talk of a beardless gimp

Materialize or not I'll still run every day while I am there. It would be more fun and help give me a goal to shot for if there is a challenge. I also happen to know some of the ladies going are runners and i thought i might be nice if there was something for everyone. You know help make the non-riders more a part of the event. But mostly it will force me to train harder if the trash talk gets good.

[Jr.]

The camp ground is big enough to run the entire 5k within it's boarders.
If you are serious about doing this, (I feel it's a great Idea) Let me know before next weeks meeting with the Army Corp. This could be set-up with a locals runners club to bring more people into the event?

[Powder]

Since High School no matter how hungover I am i force myself to run at least a mile, sounds bad but it chases the hangover away. Plus you get to puke on your neighbors lawn-driveway-open convertible, you know whatever is convenient. :puke:

Come on gimpy :crutches: If Forest can run why can't you

[michael950]

Come on gimpy :crutches: If Forest can run why can't you

Oh, SNAP :haha:

Awesome can't wait to see this new camp grounds. I am not a serious runner anymore and this is more for fun then anything. But HEY if you think it might help with local exposure and getting a club involved great lets do it! If they want to show up saki too that's cool with me we can wave to him from the finish line. Give me a shout Paul if you want some extra help to make this part of the event.

[Powder]

i definitely WONT beat ya.. but i'll make it to the finish line. :biggrin:

i've met you dude.. youre like 105lbs..

:haha:
Yeah but have you seen the scar and hardware sticking out of my ankle?

It will be the battle of the gimps.

[WAB]

It's always the 98lb 16 year olds than dominate these. Where's jessie??

[Powder]

44:00 5k.. here i come!
:bigeyes: ut-oh better curb my trash talk, thanks for setting the bar!:cool2:

[the only couch rider]

since saki and poweder are the gimps we should make this the jazi scooter 5K racer

[the only couch rider]

Smak-0-meter is going off! For real i said 5k because no matter how out of shape you are you can at least shuffle along and make it across the line.

girls in the front = good scenery :cool2:
Hey now no Sandbagging.
You're in right Idok? You can't let an Albino and a Girl beat you.

[the only couch rider]

[Powder]

Come on Guys lets keep the thread fun.


If I had a wife as cool and good looking as Mrs. Pancake :poke: I would be running to keep the guys away from her...how about Pete :cool2: you can train with me.

[Powder]

I am in as long as there is a Winston break at 1K and 3K

Maybe we'll add a smokers division call it the Marlboro Mile.

Sweet and you can fit some sneakers in your bag to take down you're all set.

[romack991]

I may have to do this if I'm at Lanier again. I'm not sure if I could break 20 minutes or not right now. Probably not :frown: Which is quite sad since I could do it in under 16 min two years ago when I ran in college.

[PancakePete]

Sweet and you can fit some sneakers in your bag to take down you're all set.

Now I am smoking your arse ! :swordfight:




:cool2:

[Mrs. Pancake]

Saki alls I have to say is Bring It!

Dan you wont have anything to look at but the dust from the dirt as I blow by you.

And honey you can kick arse in running with a smoke in your mouth.

[FLY6584]

a 5k in <= 16min is NO JOKE. we're gonna need to split this up into classes!! :biggrin:
Thats what I'm saying.:bigeyes:

I'm happy with my 24min 5K (8min mile).:biggrin:

[PancakePete]

that's my goal right there. i'm at about 10:00/mi right now (according to the pace on the treadmill). ive been running 2.5's everyday since i got my splint/crutches off.

[yamaslut]

Me and the wife are in...

I can run fast, just depends on how long I can keep up the pace... I think I can do it in 20min.

I did 1.5 miles in 9.05 min. and that was after drinking all night...



5 kilometer = 3.106 855 961 mile

[romack991]

In college we did the michelob mile.

it was a mile but you had to chug a beer every quarter mile. if you puked during or 30 min afterward you were disqualified.

Why run when you can drive?

anyone can drive...

I love running. It's one of the purest competitive sports. It may not be that entertaining to watch. But theres no BS about who has better equipment or of there was an unfair call or not.

During a race, there's only you and your competitors, and when its over, you can step off the track knowing you owned them physically and mentally and none of them can beat you in that race. One of the greatest feelings you can have.

Like they say, pain is temporary, glory is forever.

Yes I will need a clip for my yamaka when I run so it dosent fall off. Then afterwards we can all play frisbee! :arms: :biggrin: :arms:

Why run? Never gonna beat the kenyans, they have it in their blood, it would take a few generational evolutions for me to over take them. I'll stick to swimming, it's better for the back anyways :biggthumpup:

Relatedly, someone at my school set the new state and I think regional record for the mile. Ran it in 4:15 I think. Thats insane!!! He's runs something like 80 miles a week! Go figure, even though he's a pretty dull minded kid (read: stupid, Level 3 classes-NO AP's) he got full ride offers to both standford and harvord, plus numerous others I cant remember and dont want to/care to. I hate him...

[romack991]

I was joking Mr. Serious. I will run the race Atsmah and all!

Yeah sorry, i figured you were, but I haven't raced in two years and yesterday went to a good track meet to watch my old college running buddies, and warmed up with them and such. It got me fired up.

Actually I've beat a NAIA national champion kenyan, but to his defense it wasn't his strong event. But still pretty fun :biggthumpup:.

4:15 is fast in HS but I would of thought the state record would be better than that. Maybe just the school? 4:15-16 typically is a common winning time for a state meet so I'd think the record would be lower but maybe not.


ps. threadjack over, please continue with the Lanier 5k trash talking. But do some interval workouts afterwards so you have a chance of backing it up. :skull2: :skull2: :skull2:

Anyone running with the Nike+ setup? Just got mine trying it for the first time tonight. Was 10 deg this morining I pussed out too cold to start your day that cold.

ive seen the commercials.. i have an ipod nano.. is it hardware or just a software upgrade via itunes? how does it work?


nikeplus (http://www.nike.com/nikeplus/)
There is a sensor you put in your shoe and a receiver you plug into your nano (only works on nano for now) and it tracks how far you go, pace, and calories burned. After your run when you sync your nano to iTunes it uploads the data to your account on Nike. Then you can log into the account and see all your workout information, set goals track progress etc. I read a lot of reviews and it has really good feedback and is about 98% accurate. Oh and you don't need the special shoes they try to sell you a lot of people, from what i read, just tuck the sensor in their shoe some place or there are little pouches you can get on ebay for $3 or so. One of the features of the Nke account is you can challenge people to things like first one to run 100miles or fastest miles time, things like that.

[romack991]

I know they have GPS chips as well that will track your route, time, dist travelled, ect and are accurate to a football field distance for a marathon. Nike thing sounds pretty cool, expecially since you can use it with other brands of shoes.

Yeah that sucks that it's only available for the Nano. I was hoping it would also work for the Video, but my girlfriend said it will never be available for the Video because you're not even supposed to run with the Video because the Video has an actual hardrive that jogging can screw up.

We still run with our Video anyways and it's still working.:biggthumpup:

There is a watch version for the Nike+ coming out in the next month or so ($200 ish). You can get a refurished nano directly from Apple for $89 right now.Apple (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=32DAAC51&nclm=Certified) As for the not jogging with a video ipod they say that but i have been running with mine for about a year with no problems. I wear it on my arm and there is a lot less impact there then if it were on your belt or something.

[romack991]

0° outside with the windchill at -15°, BRRRR. 4 layers and its still cold.

He's going to need to run more then 5k to beat me I won't be able to make "the Ride" this year. That weekend is the first race of the season here. :banghead:
