I would kill to gain muscle mass in my legs a litte quicker. I guess I never thought it was a bad to be gaining weight as long as it was from muscle. Take pride in your sexy legs!

Zing!
I was woken up by a nightmare today.
It was snowing outside.
I was stopped by a train on the way to class and was about a half hour late.
I started smoking again.
My car is falling apart.
I asked a girl out and received a very ambiguous answer.
I feel like I'm trapped in a country music song today.

It is on the border...of the middle of the lake...so I have to drive around the lake first to get to NY...and, I'm not quite sure where the Gunks are, but I'm 2.5 hours from the high peaks regions.

It was 5-5.5 hours from my place in Tonawanda, NY. I'd give it a solid 6 from St. Catharines. Work it out from there.

you were driving a reasonable pace, too, i guess.

i see. google maps says 4:23. so you can probably make it a lot faster than that. it's a big state, really.

Holy shit... D_A on the coffee thread... what is the world coming to!
You gonna tell us all about your day now?
I'll go first.
I spent the whole moring finalizing my flight schedules for the next couple of weeks:
Omaha, Nebraska
Knoxville, Tennessee
BURLINGTON, VERMONT (look out 'Biner)
Hamilton, Bermuda
With the exception of Bermuda, I must conclude that I have offended a senior person at my company and I need to find that person and apologize.
I'll have an extra large coffee and an 8-ball of Keith Richards.
Edited to say: I am 45 minutes from the Gunks. Nee-ner-nee-ner-nee-ner.

The 5.5 hours is when Nathan was driving, I'd do my best to do it in 5  . I'd probobly do it a little slower now though.

Accidentally, not "on accident." When you do something you did not intend to do, you have committed an accident.

Eh, what's an extra 5 hours of driving between friends? East to Albany, turn north for 2.5 hours to get Mo, then backtrack south to the gunks. No problem.

So is that how it goes down in here, everyone just kind of talks about themselves? Seems kind of self-serving doesn’t it? Oh wait, I love self-serving. Ok, I’ll play.
A little background: So the new special lady friend really isn’t a morning person. D_A is very much a morning person when it comes to certain tasks. Let’s just say, if I was a boy scout... err, if I hadn’t been kicked out of boyscouts at 4 and told to “never come back you evil Satan child”, I would have whatever the top badge is for tent pitching. Now don’t get me wrong, night sex (after a drink or two) puts me right to sleep... which is nice. But I wake up in the morning in a state not proper to go to work in. And the lady is having nothing to do with helping me and my “situation”.
Yet again, this morning, same problem. Luckily she goes to work before I, so I wait for her to leave so that I can rub one out before I go off to workkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk (Sorry, key got stuck, guess I should have washed up afterwards). Which is actually kind of nice, less work for me overall. And now I’m here, relaxed, with some coffee in my hand (the left).

Same way you build up to anything. With the exception of about two weeks when I was ill, I have been running 4-6 days a week since January. I started out barely being able to run 6. But you do a couple short runs during the week to build up muscle and endurance and then you have the hallowed LSD run (long slow distance). Aim for 1.5-to 2 minutes/mm less than race pace and just run. Start out with something a bit challenging, but that won't kill you, I strated with long runs that were 7, then 8, then 10 miles. Two weeks later it was 13 miles, then 15, then a but of time off, back to 15 and now most recently to 17mile. If I hadn't taken the time off, I'd be up to running 22 miles this weekend. But then again my marathon training schedule called for running 26 miles 3 weeks before the race which to everyone I talked to, was completely unnecessary and potentially harmful before you're first marathon unless you're regularly doing 30-40 miles weeks anyway. So I decided to max my long run out at 22-23 miles and depending on determination and adrenaline to get me through the last 3-4 miles. Many beginner marathon training porgrams don't even have you do a long run over 20 miles.
CHeck out some of the training programs on coolrunning.com for how to build to something like 17 miles- or beyond!

Sooooo, can we talk about the c-word now on the coffee thread? cause the neighborhood just made a right on Broadway and is sprinting up the street.

Morning all. I think I'm deciding to stay in the bay area for a few days and take a short break from climbing. My body is pretty sore, so having a few days to stretch and relax in is pretty nice. Also will get to see a few friends, which will be fun. Coffee would be good, though; I've been feeling really tired the last couple of days.
Rob, good job on the weight loss; good luck to the rest of you. And, ladies, this is one man who certainly doesn't mind it if you're muscular, so don't stress about that extra muscle mass.
krillen, good luck with those breaks this weekend. I may try to do an oil change by myself for the first time. I've never done this before, so it has me a bit concerned. I can write finite element models of mantle convection in the Earth, but if I screw that up no one gets hurt and my car still works.
maww and biner together in the shower? You know you guys aren't allowed to talk that way; none of the guys here will be able to get anything done.
Oh, and nikegirl, with your coffee amounts I recommend flapping your arms; you may just be the first human to achieve unassisted flight.

Thanks! I'll check it out. (granted this thread is nowmoving away from coffee and to training...) 
I have been working my way up and am now running about 3 mile runs at an 8 - 9 minute mile pace. I'll slow it down to about 10 and see if I can run farther.
Third cup of coffee please...
