matthcarl Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Monday - 3.8 hilly miles, felt pretty lousy. Tuesday - 2.25 miles walking...tried some superkinking on 5/16" square and 3/8" zinc-plated steel, but neither went anywhere. Today - about 5 miles running at the park were my 10K is going to be held. I wanted the check out a couple of hills I knew were there...not so tough.

matthcarl Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Saturday I did the 10K. I was too slow to even get my time officially recorded I timed it unofficially at 1:12:25. For those unfamiliar with 10K's, 40 minutes is a common benchmark for a good time I have been feeling decent on grippers...I got a double with my HG300 yesterday. Today I ran 5.3 miles in rainand wind. Awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpster Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Congrats on finishing the 10K Matt! Just completing one is good for the average guy. Being able to enter running races is one of the things I miss most after moving out of the country (I'm lucky to get one a year here).

matthcarl Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks Perry! I have a lot more races on the agenda. I seriously think I could run one every weekend between now and October. My next big one is a 10-miler at the end of June. I have two half marathons planned for the fall. Since my 10K, I ran 5.3 miles on Monday, 3.5 on Tuesday, and 8.5 on Wednesday.

easyWeight Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Good work on the 10k Matt! I agree with Perry, just completing it is pretty impressive. I couldn't finish half of that haha. Also, good work on the double with the HG300. #3 is just around the corner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Congrats Matt! Your time its good ... i dont think u were the last!:P stopped bending for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I know you love running Matt. But wasn't this how you stopped bending the last time? Around this time of the year aswell. Running race after race and after a while forgetting about bending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Actually, I took up running last year because I was hurt and could not bend. But it's true...with the warmer months I want to devote more energy to running. I'm not very good at balancing things, but I am not giving up grip entirely. In fact, my gripper strength seems to be up. I'm not doing structured workouts, so I don't bother posting, but I have been consistently able to do double reps with my #2.5 now. One day I'll get the #3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Soo close to closing my #3 today. I got a good set, and I don't think I missed by more than a millimeter. I also hit a double on my RB 260N the other day for a PR. In other news, I ran 6 miles yesterday. It was 88 degrees when I set out, and I was even slower than usual This is upstate NY...it's not supposed to be this hot in August! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a love/hate relationship with it. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalCage Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Anyone heard from Matt?? His last post was on June 20. Hey Matt, don't be like me and be a millimeter away from closing the #3, then leave for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
