You know he has an entire blog about music and running.<br />Bruce: An entire blog about music and the best thing he knows to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">recommend</span> is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Coldplay</span>. Wow I guess he really just follow major record label music.<br />Tom: You know I discovered a great new band called Bat for Lashes, they are very cool.<br />Bruce: You should let Keith know about them, he could use a little help with his music choices. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Coldplay</span>, unbelievable.<br />Tom: Well to move to the subject of running, the knee is still not good but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">optimistic</span> in a few days it will be better.

Remind me again what the heavily assisted <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">pullup</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">regimen</span> is supposed to accomplish?<br />Tom: I am trying to slowly alter my body composition so as to make me more solid and thereby less prone to injury.<br />Bruce: How many times a day would you guess that you flex in the mirror to see whether you look muscular?<br />Tom: That is a ridiculous question.<br />Bruce: 3 times a day.<br />Tom: 2 times at most, sometimes only 1. There is a small part of me that is lifting to get ready for my future bottles and models lifestyle.<br />Bruce: Bottles and models lifestyle? Will that year coincide with the year that you run a 13:00 5k.<br />Tom: They seem a bit mutually exclusive.<br />Bruce: I think they would be better defined as <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">mutually</span> delusional. But I guess you never know, a 20 minute run and a 60 pound <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">pullup</span>, the start of two dreams destined for...<br />Tom: Alright, you are done.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15218005177836413386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398853200707156414.post-40497671382926655262009-03-23T18:21:00.000-07:002009-03-23T18:38:41.904-07:00Back to BruceBruce: You are back.<br />Tom: I never thought I would hear those words from you.<br />Bruce: Do not get too excited, you still are the worst runner ever.<br />Tom: So I had my first 20+ minute run in Ithaca in over a month today.<br />Bruce: My answer above additionally covers my response to this comment as well.<br />Tom: Good to have you back.<br />Bruce: Wait, that is it?

This is why I have a man who's been to jail coaching me instead.<br />Jilane: Let's face it. Tom's in the wrong sport.

Yeah, two hard acts to follow. This about as hard as the time that I followed <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Nark</span> at a date auction.<br />Tom: So now is the time that you are supposed to ask me about my run.<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Jilane</span>: Nah, I talked with Bruce and we decided to not talk about your running until he returns as the commentator. The logic is that if we condense all your running from a week into one day it might add up to a real day of training.<br />Tom: I am not taking Bruce back as a commentator. He wanted too high of an equity stake in the blog.<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Jilane</span>: Who are you going to replace him with?<br />Tom: I outsourced his job to some guy in India who has a serious gambling problem and never has anything nice to say to me.

Overstatement?<br />Tom: Well, at least doing runs that take longer then the time it takes to boil oatmeal.<br />Bruce: That is an odd reference, have you been putting oatmeal on to boil before heading out for runs?<br />Tom: What is wrong with a 8 minute run and hot ready oatmeal at the end.<br />Bruce: Nothing, I will book the tickets for London in 2012, you start stockpiling oatmeal for the double days.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15218005177836413386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398853200707156414.post-44110386123517256232009-02-20T19:41:00.001-08:002009-02-20T19:45:09.352-08:00GirlsBruce:(On phone) Where are you?<br />Tom: (also on phone) I am with a couple girls.<br />Bruce: Battlestar Galatica?<br />Tom: Nah, it is a rerun tonight.<br />Bruce: Who are the girls.<br />Tom: Blog Groupies<br />Bruce: They like the blog?<br />Tom: No<br />Bruce: Wait that sounds right, so you are actually with girls.<br />Tom: Surprising, I have been doing a lot of lifting recently.<br />Bruce: Huh, what does the fact that you do the assisted pullup machine every week has to do with girls?<br />Tom: Nothing just wanted to mention that I am lifting.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15218005177836413386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398853200707156414.post-42963096683091609212009-02-17T19:15:00.000-08:002009-02-17T19:25:27.992-08:00Take me back to the startTom: So I was back to my old loop today.<br />Bruce: What loop?<br />Tom: My one mile loop.<br />Bruce: You mean that you ran once around your block.<br />Tom: Yeah, the calf was a bit sore but made it through the run.<br />Bruce: Congrats, what other failures do you want to share with us today?<br />Tom: Well first of all the run was a success, but on the subject of failures I was eliminated from my moot court competition today.<br />Bruce: Were you eliminated via Rose Ceremony.<br />Tom: No, it went down a lot more like American Idol. Three judges telling me I am hack and me being consoled outside by a beautiful women.<br />Bruce: That a lie.<br />Tom: No I really was a hack.<br />Bruce: Yeah not quite the reference I was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">referring</span> to.<br />Tom: Fine, there was no beautiful women, I thought you might let is slide considering I am posting on a running blog how my one mile did not go well.<br />Bruce: Fair and Balanced.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15218005177836413386noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398853200707156414.post-21200314710037556832009-02-15T12:35:00.000-08:002009-02-15T12:40:49.255-08:00I miss runningTom: I really miss running this weekend. <br />Bruce: Oh god, is this another <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">sentimental</span> blog post.<br />Tom: Yeah, however I have a great article to post.<br />Bruce: Alright just say you are sad because you strained your calf running 6 miles a week and post the article.<br />Tom: I am sad because I strained my calf running <u>9 Miles</u> a week but here is an amazing article that explains why I love sports: <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/13/greene.excellence/index.html">http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/13/greene.excellence/index.html</a>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15218005177836413386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398853200707156414.post-31389232798449955202009-02-13T15:53:00.000-08:002009-02-24T14:25:14.734-08:00A rebuttalBruce: Didn't you just say you were too tired to write anymore.<br />Tom: I did but just read <a href="http://www.kelrock.blogspot.com/">http://www.kelrock.blogspot.com/</a> and Keith called out this blog and me personally for being uncool.<br />Bruce: Do you want me to call INS on him?<br />Tom: Nah, but we need a strong rebuttal to prove this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">blog's</span> superiority. He had an interview with Martin <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Fagan</span> on his blog.<br />Bruce: So what is the plan?<br />Tom: We could do a Bruce Hyde interview.<br />Bruce: Can't be worse than the usual content on this blog<br />Tom: Alright question 1#: How has your training been going since your last race?<br />Bruce: That is a stupid question. We are not going to be able to compete with Keith's blog if we talk about running.<br />Tom: True, alright new question 1# If you and Martin <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Fagan</span> (weighing in close at close to 140 lbs) jumped out a plane which one of you would reach terminal velocity first?<br />Bruce: You are an ass.<br />Tom: Question 2# If you and Martin <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Fagan</span> were to compete in a battle of the cover bands competition <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">infront</span> of drunk townies who would get more cat calls from the 40 year women?<br />Bruce: This interview is over.<br />Tom: I present to you the indomitable Bruce Hyde....This is the greatest blog in the world.....

You are hardly even running.<br />Tom: I did calf raises and the next day my upper left calf was sore. It is the same spot but the other side as the previous calf strain. I am going to rest for a few days.<br />Bruce: How many calf raises did you do?<br />Tom: About 30.<br />Bruce: Sounds about right.<br />Tom: Too tired to write today.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15218005177836413386noreply@blogger.com0
