Well, 5k went over like a turd in a punch bowl.
Had a slightly sore throat Wednesday, legs felt a bit achey Thursday and Friday, woke up with a totally clogged nose this morning. Cleared my sinuses and went out to City Park and just figured I’d give it my best shot…best shot lasted about 1.8 miles, unfortunately.
Another year, another failed Corporate Classic.
Also, this weather, no bueno.

Boston 13? Zoom Fly 6 is supposed to be good if you don’t mind a plastic plate. Trying to think what would be on sale right now that fits that bill…because like you said, $150 or less is tough lately. Maybe something from Puma? Velocity Nitro 4 is the same foam as Megablast. Deviate Nitro 3 is a fan favorite too.

Oh I have zero issue with Asics shoes except that they seem to never go on sale. I was just pointing out they fumbled the marketing on the Edge and Sky.

Do you have any carbon plated shoes? If so, which ones? And which are your favorite?

Asics marketed the Sky and Edge so confusingly and stupidly.
From what I’ve read, Sky = plate toward the top of the midsole, so you’ll compress the foam first. I think this results in a softer ride with less stability. Edge = plate toward the bottom of the midsole which should result in a firmer feeling and more responsive ride.
For reference, the Vaporfly plate is more toward the bottom. Most carbon plated shoes have the plate with an S curve closer to the bottom.

Just bought some really stupid shoes I’ve never heard of because they were on sale and I haven’t seen anyone anywhere review them.
UYN Synapsis - $79.99 at sierra.com
Apparently UYN is an Italian brand that specializes in socks and knits. Their parent company partners with a lot of major brands and they produce for them as well. Looking forward to giving some insight on how bad these will probably be :lol: That said, their clothing does look nice.

You’ll never believe this, but Michelin just announced there was an accidental omission. Commander’s Palace has been awarded a star based on new information that came to light regarding touchdownjeebus having had business accounts with multiple fine dining establishments including, but not limited to, Commander’s Palace.

Zasu is great. Not sure how it gets a star and Saffron or August or LPG or Coquette or GW Fins don't. Plating might be Not knocking Zasu just the consistency of the recs
Maybe they hit Zasu on a good service night. That plus plating and timing of courses.
My one trip to Zasu was exceptional. Service, food, everything.
Have done LPG once, they are deserving. Maybe not the most creative menu, but everything else is up to par.
Did Coquette recently and the service would disqualify them. It was slow and too non-chalant. Food was fine. Probably ordered wrong.
Can’t speak to Saffron, August, or GW Fins…but I’m sure those three are close to a star.
One place I haven’t seen anyone mention that seems tailor made for a star is Gautreaus. Wonder if the critics made it there or not.

Settled on McMillian 400’s.
3 sets of 3x400 @ 5k pace with 100m/200m/400m rest for each set. Also supposed to be a pace progression for each set.
Wished I had time to do another 5x1k or other longer effort at pace to prove I can hold the pace for longer, but don’t want to be totally beat up/tired for race day.

Saw it mentioned somewhere that it’s supposed to be good food at a good value. Something like a starter, entree, and dessert for $40.

Get it baw.
What kind of workouts do yall like to do during a 5k “taper”? So much conflicting info out there. Can’t decide if I should do a harder workout tomorrow, or something hitting target pace but lower volume.

Reviews have been rough for it. We almost went this weekend but opted for San Lorenzo instead and don’t regret it one bit.

I think they opened in time to be rated. They were mentioned as a “recommendation” at the bottom of the guide along with many other notable restaurants that we all thought could get a star.

Same. No Nina Compton, no Kingsway. Lufu??? Wtf.
Based on some of those selections, Rosedale/Susan Spicier deserves at least a BG.
Edit: I know Michelin is pay to play to a degree…but those BG selections scream paid acknowledgement IMO.

Here are the New Orleans restaurants
- 2 stars: Emeril’s
- 1 star: Saint Germain, Zasu
- Bib Gourmand: Acamaya, Cochon, Cochon Butcher, Domilise, Dooky Chase, Hungry Eyes, Lufu Nola, Mister Mao, Parkway, Saba, Turkey and the Wolf.
Certainly some head scratchers there.

Nice. Wish I could’ve gone before the hype, will probably be impossible to get in now and prices will jump I’m sure.

No but I’ve been taking Cordiceps-M pills for a little over a month now and honestly haven’t noticed any difference.

Following up on this:
Man, San Lorenzo is great. Could be recency bias, but I think it’s better than Avo and Osteria Lupo.
Started with raw oysters - not much to expound on. Had some east coast, gulf coast, and west coast ones. All great.
Next was Apples with Anchovies - one my favorite dishes. Sweet, savory, a little crunch, a little acidity and fat. Excellent app.
Next was the Caesar Salad - they add a little chili oil on it so it has some kick, was very good. Large portion too.
I had the Saffron Orechiette pasta, I think this was my favorite of the night. My wife had the Mussels Tarantina pasta, also a very good bite.
Would definitely go back.

Irrelevant. The democrats don’t control anything right now.

The current stalemate - are Dems wanting more spending or less than the CR provides for?
Current stalemate is not relevant to Trump’s bill that is adding to the national debt, something he campaigned on not doing.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill is set to add $3.4 trillion to the national debt and it raised the debt ceiling $5 trillion. There are no Democrat names attached to that bill.

Yeah, that’s how the government is supposed to work. Checks and balances and such…
