n_maher Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Sorry to hear that. The girl in the cubicle next to me cut her finger with a bread knife a few weeks ago. Its been looked at, but she is having trouble getting full movement out of it reportedly. It wasn't even supposed to be that bad of a cut. Scary stuff. The first time was much worse than this one, thankfully my glove deflected part of the force this time so I didn't go that deep. It'll still be a nice scar. Sounds like your office mate hit a tendon, which can be really bad if not diagnosed properly. Hopefully she gets some good news or better advise before she lands on an operating table with months of rehab to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomana Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Good luck on the run, Mike. I went back to the spinning class today. It was hard and boring. Bad combo. I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Good luck with the race Mike, hope that bourbon barrel works out. Sorry for the work schedule Al, but hey the Giants are in the big game! Spent most of the day going over my grad student's thesis defense presentation for next Tuesday.

Wmcmanus Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'm in Miami today. Drove across from Tampa in the Atom yesterday, and will be heading back across again tomorrow. The drive wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be but still fun. Long distance driving in a straight line at 80 mph isn't really what the Atom is all about, although I did bump it up once or twice. Hit 127 at one point in alligator alley. Vicki and Mike, I should have called, I know. Really wasn't much time on this trip but next time for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manaox2 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Spent the evening drinking and smoking cigars with a friend outside of the University greenhouses, watched students go by in their scantily clad outfits/costumes. Then watched Afro Samurai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks Nate. 20 minutes to the start. Bathroom line is long so I found a tree. There are advantages to being male. Weather is perfect, 50 and mostly cloudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Sawyers Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Marathons suck. Well done buddy. I've done 11 of the buggers, plus a couple of 40-milers. Doesn't matter how much you train, if you get the pace *right* you feel wasted from mile 20 onwards in a marathon. A real mental battle. From 13 upwards I count upwards to 20 "7 to go to 20 - 6 to go, 5 to go". When I get to 20 I count down. "6 to go to the finish, 5 to go - I know I can run 5 miles, 4 to go - no problem, I run 4 without breaking a sweat" and so on. On a 40 miler and over, you adjust the pace. I remember getting into the 26 mile checkpoint on the last 40 trail race (The Compton 40, including 20 mile fun run) and thinking "Hokay - a marathon down, and a half marathon to go. What's the fuss?" At the moment, recovering from achilles problems, so a stone overweight. Over weight and under fit. 6 miles and I'm toast just now.

tyrion Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 This was my fourth and I really thought a PR was possible as it was a mostly flat course. I guess I will try again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
