Hey, I notice you visited the hotel gym. Would you mind writing a review at http://www.HotelGymReview.com?

Thanks!

I don't make my brain work THAT hard (because I'm pretty sure it wouldn't) during runs, but I sure was counting down the major fractions on my tempo run yesterday...which, like yours, felt hard.

No mental math for me. That's for my garmin. I do running geography. Name a city in each state, the capitols, things like that.

I, also, count every other step or see how many bloggers I can name.

I love the ipod white ear pieces. It must be all the ear wax that keep them in place.

Some times I think the only reason that I run is so that I can do mental math all of the time. Fractions of distance, time, effort... basically trying to figure out how much I can slack of at that immediate moment and still be able to meet the number on my training plan.

On a related note, I heard a factoid the other day that counting by 3's helps you fall asleep since it's kind of difficult and just tires your head out. Once I got to 3000 I figured 3's are just too easy and 'they' are full of bullshit.

Ha ha ha! I do running math all the time. I know that I'm going far and am pushing myself when I can't do the calculations easily any more - usually around mile 16 or so....

-My friend's 6 yr old niece saw that sign on vacation and thought someone was going to give her a free puppy. She has pictures of her niece pouting when they tried to explain the "joke" to her.
-I do fractions. i.e. "I'm 1/9 done of a nine mile run." The farther I run the worse my math gets though.
-Cliff bars have turned me into both an addict and granola bar snob. Who knew? I used to love Quaker Chewy's and Nutrigrains (not that those are great for you), but they're no longer appealing to me.
-I rang in 24 with a hotel room party...that ended up including a group shotgun. Made for a fun night :)

When I used to live CA, I used to visit SF every year and take that same picture of the Painted Ladies houses. I can't believe how pricy that area is.
Great tempo run!
I can't do math in my head very well when I run. Or at other times, for that matter.

Hi Adam,
I love that sign and if I saw it I would keep an extra careful eye on my rugrat:) Espresso and a puppy...very scary! You had a great pace on your tempo run! Funny, I just read Sean's comment...ha ha!! I can't wait for the bucket list:) Have a great day Adam!!

"completion fractions" rock!!! Sometimes I get really bored and attempt long division in my head....and for my final application to the "nerd herd" I like to count prime numbers while I run...

2010-02-03T10:41:24.869-08:00

My fractions always end up in some undetermined loop of confusion. By the time I figure anything out I am writing it in the log book... still, I keep trying it though???

Only you could put together Kimmy Gibler, watching 'Price is Right' in one's undies and green poop. The power of the bullet.

Well done, Sir. Well done indeed!

2010-02-03T10:18:22.571-08:00

is it one of those treadmills that have the TV about 4 inches in front of your face? They had those at the last hotel I was at and I had to turn it off cuz I got motion sickness. No lie.

2010-02-03T10:02:35.712-08:00

I do fractions all the time. The good news is I don't try to figure out the decimal equivalent.

The house we rented in SF for the HM in Oct was 2 blocks from the Painted Ladies.... and about 5 blocks from the original house of Full House, we walked to it and took pics, was pretty cool!
