Despite staying up late to watch Brady lay it down on the Texans (I love to watch pure excellence) I was still wide awake at 3:30am, I actually was up at 1:30 but managed to get back to sleep for a bit.

Did a good job of just running easy this morning until the last mile I went and ran in 5:40, pretty much just stupidity and I about puked all over the treadmill when I was done, but 1 good thing came out of it. I found out I can run a 5:40 mile at the end of an 18 miler.

geez. nice job, rob.

puking all over the treadmill would be so gross. it would get in all the little cracks and crevices on the console and the belt would whip it around and around and around and around and around and around and around and it would splash up everywhere and maybe splat on the walls and/or the person running next to you. it would smell really bad, both when fresh and when dried. whoever ended up cleaning it up would just puke too -- and then it would be a never ending chain reaction of treadmill vomiting. omg.

Wow allie. I didn't really think of it like that, Thanks for putting it into perspective for me. I'll have second thoughts about thinking about puking on the treadmill next time.

haha nice run Rob! I really think you should consider the Christmas Eve treadmill marathon PR. :)

Rachelle, are you crazy? Who would run for that long on a treadmill?

You know you want to.....it just might take some bribing. :) I heard you like candy!

From Rob on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 11:44:41 from 166.137.119.28

Tempting, but I should probably focus on Boston now. I like cookies more than candy, cookies with candy in them.

hahaha!!! You all crack me up!!!

NICE job Rob for not puking and at that 5:40 velocity....!!!!

The secret to your awesome 18 miler must lie in the aforementioned watching sports into the wee hours and then take a quick little nap before the run (no worries of falling asleep on the TM)!!! :)

Sleep is so over rated, you can get so much more done in the day if you just take out sleep.
