    I'm looking for some advice here.

     

    I have some friends interested in doing the Miami Marathon, or at least the 1/2. Being in Chicago, this would make training difficult, as the marathon is in January I believe.

     

    Has anyone trained for a marathon in the winter? If so, how have you done it? Indoors? Bundled up outside?

     

    And if you have done it, what was your experience like?

     

    I can't see running the distances it would take to train on a treadmill.

     

    Personally, my least favorite marathon training period was when I trained for a May marathon in Wisconsin. I had to do my training from January through April.

     

    I do the majority of my workouts before work, and it was tough/depressing to have to do just about every single workout/run in the dark. I ran outside as much as I could (absolutely all the long runs), but I did more treadmill runs than I did for any other race I've trained for.

    I learned about this little place back in the day when the nfl-fans.com forum was poppin through an old poster by the name of goldmember. Ive made a bunch of friends here like carter224, qwerty and Ace even though he refuses to have a beer with me. Ill always love this place as I get to get in my daily trolling fix and also my greg fix. I think this is the first time ive ever posted in Pale Hose Talk..

     

    You were the one who taught me about scan-lines back in the day. :lol:

     

    Goldy was the photoshop king though; I hope he's doing well.

    I decided to read through the last few innings of that thread just to see it. I was way too nervous to properly operate my laptop to be on here for that, but good times.

     

    That was a fun flashback. My fandom/obsession with the Sox was unhealthy back then, haha. That WS definitely made it all worth it though.

     

    The Sox are still my biggest unhealthy obsession, but my perspective on this stuff is a lot more sane now.

     

    Congrats to SoxTalk on 10 years. I've been here for a majority of it, though I didn't sign up right away. Some of my fav's through the years: the original front page (Soxnet), the original catch-all in the Sports Bar, the re-birth of the front page and the podcast that came with it, etc.

     

    To SoxTalk! :cheers

    The catcher position was such a hole for the Sox in the lineup and on the field for so many years before AJ came over. Very appreciative for what he's done in a Sox uni. I'd definitely be supportive of re-signing him for another couple of years, until we have a more solid replacement option to take over.

    Has anyone listened to my man-crush, John Mayer's new album Born and Raised?

     

    Definitely a solid play and rebound from Battle Studies. This one has Continuum staying power, but it's in a more folk/Cali genre.

     

    Walt Grace is the star track of the album.

    Natural peanut butter (on a chunky kick) and a spoon. No jelly. No bread.

     

    Peanut butter is my fav. thing of all time. All time!

    Don't know if I mentioned this at the precursor or not, but the girlfriend and I just ran a minimum of a mile a day from Thanksgiving to New Years. We stretched it to yesterday, to make it an even 40 days.

     

    Signed up for the Shamrock Shuffle; this has been my kick-off race the past couple of years. Starting to brainstorm and figure what I want to accomplish with running for 2012.

    I've had great experiences with the RNR Half in the city, as I've ran it this year and last. One of my favorite city courses and the crowd support has been great. I feel RNR does a great job putting on a large-event race, unlike RAM Racing.

    Ran a marathon much closer to my capabilities this weekend and improved my PR by a little better than 22 minutes.

     

    Saturday I ran the Monumental Marathon in Indy with a 3:48:07. My previous best was a 4:10:23 I ran earlier this year in Kenosha's Wisconsin Marathon.

     

    It's been a successful running year, as I've eclipsed 20 minutes twice in the 5K this year and the nice improvement on the marathon between my 2nd and 3rd attempts.

    Week 6 of this MTP concludes w/ the half this weekend. I've been kicking ass so far with my training; here's hoping the next 12 weeks are more of the same.

    The broken foot is valid reasoning enough to let being busy sneak under the rug. Good to hear it's not discouraging you from scratching the effort altogether. If you're still in the burbs, we should meet up sometime soon for some kind of workout or race. It would be times of good.
