You probably won't die.

Go! Go! Go!

"Since then I've run 4 times with a long run of 5.3 miles"

Too bad, you missed the magical cutoff of 5.5 miles.

If you re-measure and come up with that number you have my approval.

I'm sorry, Khai has done something really stupid already. You are too late ;-)

"How bad can it be?" - SimpleS

I forgot about Khai and IMC.



Perhaps I too will "unleash my lethal walk on the course"

Although i hope not.

I hope not to see a thread entitled "Squatting dumbass, hidden dnf" after Chicago!

"How bad can it be?" - SimpleS

Start slow and taper off.

I am reminded of the two guys from the New York area that "dared" each other to do the least amount of training possible and still finish IMLP!

Do it!

My plan is simple: to Start about 15 beats above AeT for the first 10K, Pick it up for the next 12 miles and then Sprint to the end.

Beat ya...

Have a Chicago spot...separated my shoulder 5 days ago...

May run,

B.

Better start your taper

do it!!

by that I assume you mean only 6 beers tonight and 2 on Saturday.

If you're doing long runs of 5.3 miles, I say go for it. Plus, it is going to be a wonderful day out there -- I'll cheer you on (assuming you finish before I get too cold).

no no no no. I'm not doing long runs of 5.3 . I've DONE one long run of 5.3 since sept 10th.

Good - multiple runs of 5.3 miles would be too much. I might be in the minority, but I really believe you might be overtrained. Just make sure of one thing - if you die out there - do it with style. Wear your IMMoo shirt and start yelling "Well of course I'm tired, I just did an ironman". Repeat this until you've pissed everyone off within a mile of you.

I would recommend hookers and 4 shots of whiskey to go with those 2 beers sat and you will be fine

Nice.

I'm doing the same stupid thing so I say do it.

My long run was a tad bit longer and it was only once. I feel rested.

My coach will most likely be pissed.



My resolve over the matter is deteriorating. Seemed like a great idea a few hours ago, but now I'm thinking of the extended recovery time...

The good thing about the Chicago Marathon is that you get back near the starting line (1+mile away) at about 11 miles, so it wouldn't be too hard to wimp out then. Besides, you're not officially in the race so you have an alibi for being a dnf.
I normally come to watch, jump in for about 4 miles, walk over to Wells to cheer on the Kenyans, and then jump back in with a friend until I reach the Loop again and then head over to the finish. The weather looks so bad I'm going to stay home and watch it on tv.

spontaneous marathons are fun. go for it :D

;)
