Arrrrrrrrghhhh!

Just spent hours working on my Long Beach Half video only to have the audio content blocked.

Check back tomorrow. I should  have the video redone by then.

In the meantime I’ll leave you the good, the bad, and the ugly:

The Good

Great race organization, great weather, great dinner with friends the night before.

The Bad

My performance. I knew it wasn't going to be my “A” race, but I didn’t think I would be 3 hours to finish.

The Ugly

Me past mile 10. Pathetic.

But the best part? It’s two days post race and my knee is pretty much pain free.

Details tomorrow….

  2. Well I certainly hear ya on the go-no go decision and the Not gonna be my A race. Congrats for running it anyway, sorry you didn't get the time you wanted, sorry it was ugly after mile 10, but REALLY happy that you're almost pain free again :) :)

  4. Just today, I looked up your YouTube video from LA Marathon, and noticed the audio was stripped out. That sucks!! Still.. always look forward to your videos! Worth the wait. Glad the knees are ok. I'm going to jump on the rower tomorrow morning, and maybe do a little swimming in the afternoon if the weather cooperates. Glad we finally go to meet! I'm thinking of doing Surf City Half and LA Marathon like 7 weeks later. Is that crazy? I feel SOOO far away from being able to even finish 26.2

  5. I jinxed your audio by speaking over your video in the first mile - sorry!:)

    I missed ya at the end. Glad your knee is better. I agree with organization. I actually really like this race. It is on my do again list. Weather though - I actually like running in the sun, and 60-70% less humidity. The breezes on the beach hit the spot though! Great seeing ya again! See ya at Crystal Cove!

  7. Yay for being pain free...and if it takes a 3 hour 1/2 Mary to get there, then that has to be filed as "good."

    Thanks again for organizing the dinner. It was great to see you again.

    Oh...and yes, both Walter and I will be running Shelter Island...a 5K! Can't wait!

  11. Hmm maybe all the knee needed was a dose of LSD?

  13. Look forward to seeing the video isn't it great to be injury free though it takes sometime to recover your previous fitness and stamina and if you are like me you probably have little patience!

  17. I'm really missing running today. I want you to feel better about what you did over the weekend - at least you did it! Even if I had to walk the whole thing today, I would jump at the chance. Be happy you were out there enjoying the exercise and friends. ;)

  18. Glad to hear that the knee is doing well man. Can't wait to see the video on the half. My idea, is that after the a race, all others are experience. Take care bud.

  19. Copyright issues? You need to start composing your own music. Awaiting video....

  20. Looking forward to the video.

    I broke down at Mile 10 when I did LB too. Puked all over the side of the road. Gross, I know.

  24. Just getting caught up on some of your last few posts, Glenn. I am glad to hear your knee is better. That picture in the earlier post didn't look good! Take care of yourself, and don't sweat the Long Beach race results too much. There will be other races!

    All the best to you, Glenn!
