hello lads, It's been a while since I have posted on here. So I thought I would check in on everyone.
I noticed that some people were at NYC this past weekend? I was there all weekend. Wish I knew, those laps around central park would have been less lonely. And I wouldn't of had to hammer my sunday run after the marathon when some dude tried to race me. Not fun after a hard friday workout and a 18 miler on saturday.
how is everyone doing? training good? life good? Jaron are you back from injury? Dan, married life still good? how is the new job?
not a whole lot going on here.. ran a decent 5k couple weeks ago. I think around 14:25. Have a 15k this weekend, that I just found out Fernado Cabada is running. So this should be interesting. workouts have been going good. had a few weeks of struggle, but don't we all. keeping the mileage high and workouts intense.
fill me in.
yours truly, Lame Double Fist Pump

Yeah, man. Dan, Tim, Jeremy and I headed up to NYC. It was a hectic one-day trip. We left here at 2AM and got home at just past 9PM. It was very rushed. We probably should've given you a call and tried to get together. It never occured to me that you are a lot closer than we are.
It sounds like things are going well for you up there. And Cabada is yours, man. I have faith that you can beat him. Good luck, though! You know that I'll be looking for the results.
I'm back and running (a little). I just pulled or strained my calf out in Chicago and there was no way I was going to keep going and hurt myself even more. It is a bummer and is very hard to swallow, but I'll be back (hopefully better than ever).

Jordan,
We are slowly getting back to life here. It is tough to get out when there aren't any races for a few months. I hope you do real well at the Stockade-a-thon or whatever it is called. Get after it and bring it home.
Married life is great and my new job is wonderful.
Hope to see you soon - home for the holidays?
DAN

Go for it Jordan!
As far as an update on my running: I was slow this fall, but still out there some. My race was pretty bad, but I seem to recover quickly and I'm just going to keep going.

www.dailygazette.com/videos/2009/nov/08/303/Jordan finishes 2nd behind Cabada - awesome race. Jordan - what an amazing effort! So cool to be able to see this video and hear you talk about your race. I disagree with your last statement, though - performances like that will not let you stay a "nobody" for very much longer! Congrats on a great race - and I will look forward to hearing from you soon. Well done my friend. DAN

Great Race Jordan. That video is awesome. I like that last statement. You are certainly somebody for us, but what it shows me is you aren't happy with that. Be an underdog and stay hungry buddy.
I'm proud of you.
Justin

hey fellas. thanks for the words. it was a good day... just couldn't stay with him... it was our last 5k that killed me.. I was only 5 seconds back at 10k. thought I could make it up. but then the wheels fell off. got a cramp, Achilles started acting up...
but all in all. being that close to a world class athlete is a good day.
justin I like that. I think it was in running with the buffalos. ritz? said I don't eat lunch anymore. I had a bad workout once and threw up afterward. I like being hungry for workouts.
Hope to make it in during thanksgiving. Racing in Manchester, CT on Thanksgiving day, if I can get this achilles thing healed up.
we can get in some good runs.
everyone seems to be doing good things down there. keep it up fellas.
