My Shit Hou has been unruned for 10 months . No regrets . Blue monkey lives don ' t matter . I ' m sorry . <| sep |> I ' m always listening to some manner of talk radio when I ' m alone in the car , so part of my routine when coming to a pick up location is to switch to satellite radio . Classic Vinyl and Classic Rewind are great for low volume listening for all demographics . <| sep |> Two years , four months . <| sep |> Sex only sends the compressed file , it takes about 9 months to unzip . <| sep |> I ' ve run 8 marathons . Each time I feel like I ' ve changed my training to improve upon what happened in the most recent race . My goal is to qualify for Boston and I am close ! The sad part is of the past 5 races , I ' ve made almost no improvement in my finish time , even though I ' ve changed my training . My times in order oldest to newest are 405400358404406 Sub 355 is my BQ time . Looking back my first 30 k ' s are all different but I lose it in the last 8 miles and somehow end up with similar finish times . Any suggestions on how to get stronger for the last 1826 miles . Nutrition advice is welcome too . I normally use Gu and take one every 30 min or so along with water . I take Gatorade at all the other water stops . Prerace I have a banana , bagel and peanut butter . By the time I hit mile 18 I have nothing left and switch to auto drive to finish .
