Pawnee Winter Run 'n Gun - Jan. 18, 2014 - Pawnee, OK - Sign up now!

[english kanigit]

Well, my training for this has pretty much fallen apart. I was looking ok through mid-November; I had worked my way up to some pretty solid 5-mile runs (hadn't done that in years!).

Now instead of running I'm trying to rehab illiotibial band syndrome and plantar fasciitis concurrently. Probably gonna take a while to cover 6.5 miles. Oh well... I'll bring a bottle of Aleve and have a fun day anyway! How's everyone else's training going?

Dude, I haven't seen a gym since the first week of october and haven't actually *run* since the last week of the same month. I now make my living sitting in a truck most of the day instead of walking cross-country 10-12 miles a day.

I'll be walking this one just like I did the last one. There's no shame in it.

Set your pace, keep your head up and swing those arms while you breath. Push.

You'll be doing far and above what the blow-hards sitting on the couch will be doing!

Hell, I've just been shooting from 200-500 yards mainly. I will probably walk most of this.

I feel good about all the rifle shooting except the 500 yard stage (of course). I'm good out to 400, but I'm just not quite dialed in at 500. I'm hoping the target's in front of a berm where I can get some visual impact confirmation and make my final holdover adjustments.

Honestly, Im much better prepared for this one than I was for the summer run n gun. Ive been fortunate to have zero injuries and the time to put boots to dirt on a schedule. I am fairly certain I will finish ugly, but I will finish.

I've got half my schedule cleared up! If my bride can switch some days around I might be able to compete...won't be able to RO as originally planned because I'll just be getting home from a work trip on Friday.

My biggest apprehension at this point is the distance. I've got no problem run-walking like I did during the summer event, but the distance might cause a time crunch. Don't want to start late and not have time to finish!

SMS i think i read somewhere that if your going to be walking mostly let them know before it starts and they will let the walkers go first.

 

[TedKennedy]

Show up, ready to walk/run. Even a fast walk will be quick enough to get done in time! Glad to hear you can make it!
