There is a lot to be said in favor of moderation

I usually give it a nod and a wave

as I am passing it

on my way from one extreme to the other

to finish my treatise on running I offer Ambrose Bierce's take from the Devil's Dictionary

COWARD, n. One who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.

From the Snipers......Why run, you'll only die tired.

Good one.

I'm up at 4am (was awake at 2) to go swim (& bike & run)?!

Ridiculous.

You should seek professional help.

I liked my "up until 4am having fun" friends better than "let's get up at 4 and exercise" friends.

Both types will kill ya.

But you do get the buffet, right?

I've never run long or far enough to experience any such "high".

Can one wear earbuds/ipod during a tri? I really can't imagine running w/o
and being forced to listen to my heavy breathing (not to mention not having
my motivating tunes) that reminds me of the tennis pro whose grunts can
be heard for miles when she hits the ball.

USAT events earbuds are not allowed, you can use the 'illegal equipment' at the expense of a time penalty or risk of DQ. I'm the complete opposite of you, I can't stand listening to music while running, I'd rather hear my breathing and what's around me. It's my time to 'unplug'.

i hit 200 this week. today's weigh in was the 3rd time it showed 200 and change. since my normal monday weigh in.

i've officially lost 40ish lbs since feb. i'm down from mid 250's in spring 2010.

i am buying new pants. preferably ones that make my ass irresistible.

i also actually started working out this week. 2 workouts in and i'm sore, but i know if i keep it up i'll look good with my shirt off.
