divechief Cool Runner	posted May-21-2007 10:08 PM Great job Karl. a PR two weeks after a marathon and the way your times keep coming down is amazing. It was Greta to meet you Saturday, I also thought on Sunday that I should have run this one, but I'm sure we will meet again. Dave IP: Logged
SherieRanier Cool Runner	posted May-21-2007 10:54 PM Great job Karl! I'm sure the Ave of the Giants prep'd you well! As it turned out, I PR's the Palos Verdes 1/2 marathon on Saturday, and it was much hillier then Ave of the Giants, so something must have prepared us for our races this weekend. At least with this race, you didn't need to camp outdoors the night before. Glad you had focus to keep going, a PR of 15 minutes is pretty awesome! Sherie IP: Logged

With a great race like you had, legally I'm advising you might get fined. IP: Logged
Spareribs Cool Runner	posted May-21-2007 11:11 PM Karl, as you know that is an enormous improvement in such a short time. Please try to stay healthy, not necessary to run so many marathons. If you want to run a huge one you could take a break and train for a very serious effort now that you know you are still growing in this sport. i don't mean to be the iconoclast, but you have potential now to run faster. This would be a good time to consider what you want to do next. Very well done. Spareribs IP: Logged

dromedary Cool Runner	posted May-22-2007 06:06 PM Hi Karl, Though I don't always write in your RRs, I do read them and am impressed with all your hard work and travels. You did very well this weekend! Hope you give yourself an extra nice recovery period. Best wishes, dromedary. BTW, Mr. D says hi to you too. IP: Logged
Dove61 Cool Runner	posted May-22-2007 06:36 PM Karl, Thank you for coming all the way to Olympia. It was so much fun showing you our little town and introducing you to the NW Maniacs. I'm glad you enjoyed the course. For some reason I knew you would PR on it (and not many people do). -Dove p.s. If you keep coming to the west coast to race, you might as well just move here. ------------------ My Profile IP: Logged
John2635 Cool Runner	posted May-22-2007 07:08 PM Karl, Congrats there buddy on your impressive PR!! Must of been the oysters!! It's a good thing you didn't run that fast at the Ave or I wouldn't of been able to keep up with you. So when's the next one? and where are the pictures? See ya John IP: Logged
Canfit Cool Runner	posted May-22-2007 10:08 PM Well done, Karl! I'm amazed at the fact that you were ready for another run the next morning! Seriously though, great race, PR and overall running progress! Keep it going! PJ IP: Logged
Labduck Cool Runner	posted May-22-2007 10:55 PM Well done Karl. Congratulations on the huge PR. Olympia is a very pretty city, and it sounds like you enjoyed it. By any chance are you considering running the Portland Marathon in October? or Bellingham? Nice effort! ------------------ Labduck IP: Logged
Tetsujin30 Cool Runner	posted May-23-2007 09:27 AM With your Avenue and Capital City marathons in two weeks and TomD-like next-day running, by any chance are you considering running around here again on a certain Saturday and Sunday? IP: Logged
Karl Rysted Cool Runner	posted May-23-2007 01:58 PM Thanks everyone! My legs feel 100% better today, now that I'm home and moving about. I'll try to answer your individual questions: Paul-I'm not signed up for a race. Can you believe it? I wish now that I had signed up for Chicago because I heard it was closed. Dove-I think it would still be cheaper to live here, wouldn't it? If you see a government attorney job there, though, feel free to e-mail it to me. John, the pictures won't be up for several days. I just took in the camera to get them developed. Labduck, yes I'm thinking of running Portland or Bellingham as a fall goal marathon and not NYC. Tet, sorry I can't get away next month.

FlyingFinn Cool Runner	posted May-23-2007 03:09 PM Wow, congratulations on a hugh PR dashing over hills! You are running strong. Way to go, Karl! IP: Logged
tallrunner Cool Runner	posted May-23-2007 03:23 PM Karl Congratulations on the PR and a fine race report. Way to go... Seems your already on the mend as your running. Take care Tall IP: Logged
Fortunate One Cool Runner	posted May-23-2007 03:42 PM Karl, I'm glad to hear the recovery is going well. That indicates that you're in good condition and that you could have run faster (if you had wanted to pay the price). Now you can build on your training and keep those PRs coming! Congratulations. ------------------ Fortunate--a volleyballer with a running problem Profile IP: Logged
SLOjim Cool Runner	posted May-23-2007 05:09 PM Karl..... you are a maniac! Wear that yellow singlet proud! I can't believe how you're stringing one marathon after another and you're able to throw in a PR! In my prime I was able to run 4 marathons in one year..... but they were really spread out throughout the year and I couldn't even think about PRs. Congratulations on some fine running and racing this year! Jim IP: Logged

Karl Rysted Cool Runner	posted May-25-2007 06:34 PM This is the post that was supposed to have photos from the disposable camera I took. However, I encountered a small technical problem but hope to have them up very soon. They're not the best quality but better than nothing.

Karl Rysted Cool Runner	posted May-29-2007 04:48 PM In case you're still interested... The whole gang Rasmussenmp attacking his dessert Yours truly attacking my dessert Ready for our recovery run the next morning. For the record, it was Dove's idea, and she originally planned a 10-miler. I agreed but then she suggested a run about half that far, and I was very relieved.
