Big dog - 16:04 (2nd). 1630 proj

Otto - 16:29 (5th). 1640 proj

Mouz - 16:47 (8th). 1655 proj

The great All-American veteran Andy Grupa school record holder national champion ran 16:06 for 3rd place and offered some post-race words of wisdom to us young bloods.

We all got beat by a 15 year old with a sharpie markered t-shirt disgracing us for our insufficiencies. How we stared at that for the whole race and couldn't bone-crush him the world will never know.

Friday 5,6, or 9 miler

Started on the rabit trails, mouse, boldt, and bauerson turned back home at Eagle. Mouse finished with 5, boldt and bauers 6. Otto continued to the shithouse and took the same route back for 9. tomorrow, we trot.

Thursday 5 miler

boldt and mouse did a rabbit trails 5 miler. otto utilized the rest day and pounded the zinc. august did some running on his own. no word from bauerson.

Wednesday 9 miler

we are now taking thursdays off instead of wednesdays because of DST and general scheduling issues.

Today was the first consequence. Tri-force did 5x600 at 4:25 mile pace, around 1:41avg with about 3 minutes of rest (120bpm).

august, bauerson, and eric hill ran 6-7 miles on their own.

Saturday 7 miler

Otto, Boldter, Bauerson, and Eric Hill ran 7 miles, girl scout to rabbit trails, to pump house to campus loop.

Friday 11 miler

Snowstorm of epic proportions today. The whole town is in 4inches of disgusting yellow-stained mess. Regardless, our dedication to the cause lives on. From Hixon lower fern loop to rabbit trails to shithouse and back. Lucky us, we also were graced by "Eric Hill". Dave Saucerman bruised the back of his knees from running too much. Mouse is not in the house.

Big Dog Boldt led the pack today with authority.

Finished the run with some serious lifting. Boldt and Otto are unable to increase resistance. Suspect insufficient protein to compensate for 55 mile weeks and excessive lifting.

The Big TT

How did the time trial go fellas? I'm sitting in Buffalo waiting by my computer in anticipation of the results...
My predictions:
Bauers Project - 1:43.51
BowDown - 2:06.22
AK47 - 2:07.99
Ottoman - DNF

I'd bet a Cellar sub that I was right on the money.

Wednesday Lift and Swim

Gettin huge!

Bauerson and Otto were engaged in an epic battle of ID stealing. Bauerson nearly made Otto cry when he would not return his ID; however, Tom eventually let his guard down and Otto bit back harder. Now Tom lives with no ID. It will be interesting to see how this clash of titans will finally end.

Tuesday 9 miler with 2 X AT

Boldt and Otto did 12min AT then 10min AT. Mouse did 2 X 10min AT. Saucer did 7-8min of the first AT. August was on his own. Bauerson is resting the foot.

We did the hill up to TNT 7 times each. Then ran to the 600 loop and into the marsh.

Thursday 10 miler

The crew ran Hixon(to the 600 loop) then rabbit trails to shithouse. It got pretty dark out half way through. Made it to whitney in time to feast though.

Wednesday Hard-Core Swim and Lift

We got to the weight room earlier than normal and lifted weights until we couldn't raise our arms into the air. squatted until mouse's BO burned a whole in his shorts.

We swam a workout. The idea is to never be on the same side as Tom and since Tom is obsessed with being on the same side as you it ended up being pretty hard. We got 14-16 lengths done in about 18 minutes.

Tuesday 9 Miler w/ ATs

Total of 5 ATs. 7min, 3min, 1min, 3min, 7min. Rest was half of AT time. We ran Rabbit trails to Shithouse. Dave did the first 2 ATs then went back for a total of around 6.

Monday 5 miler (shoot for 40m this week)

Schmidty's today. Bauerson was a good-boy. August Haas and David Saucerman ran with us too. We did some landgraves and then got into the weight room. Bauersome increased his bench resistance to 135.

Sunday 12 miler

A lot has happened since the last blog post.

Sat. night boldter turned on "summer of '69" by Bryan Adams. Bauers enters euphoric state. Bauers becomes inebriated. Bauers gets into several bars. Bauers enters fetal position at Otto's house around 3am. Chris Jenson - boldter's roommate starts yelling until he wakes everyone up at Ottos house. Bauers takes a dump.

8am, Otto's roommates wake up Bauers, Bauers walks home not knowing where his bike is, notices some bloody stools in his next bowel movement.

Bauers sleeps until 3pm when we roll a hard core 12 miler where Bauers tries to drop the tri-force but ends up getting dropped. Bauers makes some more bloody stools.

Consume lots of food at Whitney. More bloody stools. More "Summer of '69". Bauers challenges Otto to a shot-for-shot drinking competition after Drews.

Saturday 6 miler

The Crew did a nice easy 6 miler. Nice day out.

Friday Hills

Boldt, Mouse, Tom, and Augie did 7xBauers Project Hills(road up to TNT). Total of around 6 miles.

Thursday 10.4 miler

65 degrees, the tri-force + bauers project + august haas on a 10.4 miler around LAX. Dave did 5-6.

In other news, this blog gets on average 30, yes thirty different visitors everyday all from the la crosse area. Cool. We're calling you out.

Wednesday Lift/Swim

Good lift, however we had to cut it a bit short because they were closing. The swim was fun. Boldt and I both tried a flip off the high dive. Great fun! We then went to the Cellar and listened to some trance music. Cellar subs were not so good tonight though.

Lower fern loop, 9 miles

Warm up to the 600 loop then Otto, Boldt, Tom, and Mouse did 6 loops with a slow shuffle inbetween. Dave did 2-3 and I think August did 4. It ended up being about a 9 mile day for us.

Monday 8 Miler

We've got some new guys in the house! August and Dave joined the crew for a nice easy 8 miler. We did rabbit trails to shithouse. It was HOT OUT!

Sunday

Hixon to rabbit trails and then pumphouse for Otto, Boldt, and Bauer. It was around 8 miles. The weather was beautiful!

Saturday

Nice easy 6 miler today. Otto, Boldt, and Bauer ran towards north city then came back on rabbit trails. We then got ready for the Oktoberfest festivities.

Friday

fun run today. We started by going into Hixon a little bit by for a warm up. We found a cell phone on the ground and Otto called people in the phone book til we finally found out whose it was. The workout was doing a few Finish circuits. Boldt and Otto did 3. Tom did 2.

Thursday

Tom, Otto, and Boldt ran rabbit trails to pumphouse. We added on a bit at the end and it ended up being around 7 miles.

Wednesday

We decided it would be good to take the whole day off, rest, and go to bed early.

Tuesday

We did the hansen route today doing pick-ups every other block. We didn't do the long AT at the beginning or at the end, just 12 blocks of short ones. To make it about an 8 miler we added on and finished by going through rabbit trails. Boldt and Otto did an extra AT towards the end.

Monday ~6 miler, a down-week

The Crew ran rabbit trails to pumphouse today at a nice relaxed pace. We then proceed to the weight room where we pumped some iron and talked about how big our biceps have become.

Sunday Apple Blossom 10.4 miles

Breathtaking run through the apple valleys of La Crescent, MN. (see WalkJogRun route).

Jonathan drove the crew around to familiarize ourselves with the route, eventually we figured it out. It wasn't easy to start this run after driving it and seeing what lie ahead but once the hill was crested it was all downhill.

Bauers ran by himself for most of the run which is probably for the best, but it probably wasn't the most enjoyable.

Saturday Hixon Run

Well it was an interesting and enjoyable run today. However we did end up walking a lot when Otto directed us up a trail that went straight up for about a mile. We ended up at the top of the bluff by the weather station. The view was worth it though. I'd say it was 6 miles of running total, maybe more.

Friday

Hill work today. We decided to try doing a less steep hill and do more reps. We did the trail up to TNT hill at AT pase or a bit faster. Otto- 8 hills. Tom, Boldt, Mouse 7 hills. Total of 7 miles for the day.

Thursday

Tom, Otto, and Boldt ran 11 miles. We did Hixon to rabbit trails to shithouse. Adam ran 10 on his own.

Wednesday

The Crew got some good lifting in tonight along with a nice pool session. We then had a saltine cracker eating contest while we waited for our food at The Cellar.

Tuesday

The Tri-Force(otto, boldt, mouse) and the Bauers Project ran rabbit trails to shithouse with 2 6:00 min ATs in the middle. Total of 8 miles.

Monday 7 Miler

The Crew went for a 7 miler that started off at a controlled pace. Otto decided to push the pace and work the uphills. So when we got out of the woods I just had to drop him.

Sunday 11 miles!

Otto, boldt, Mouse, and Tom ran an 11 miler today. Rabbit Trails to shithouse loop. I think we were around 73 minutes.

Saturday

8 miles for the Crew!

Friday 6 miler with 3 hills

Nice 8 miler to the north side, start at rabbit trails, work to loggers stadium, back along rose st. to wwtc, east to uwl. the whole crew was there.

Wednesday Lift Ab Swim Eat

A great lift tonight. No one in the weight room. Bench, Squat, Bi, Tri, Pec/Delt hammer machine. good swim. good cellar subs. tom ate a brownie

Tuesday 8.5 miler with 2x AT

A random route developed in route. Probably around 8.5 miles, maybe more.

We included 2 5 minute ATs. I estimate the first AT to be at 5:15 pace, and the second AT to be at 5 minute pace or faster (it got progressively faster)

monday 6 miler

6 miles today for the crew. lifting, stretching, form work, abdominals after. great workout

Thursday Group 8 Miler

Shop, Boldt, Mouse, Otto ran an 8 mile loop together today.

Don't expect TB to comment on this post, his is banned from the blog until he proves that he actually wants to be a part of it.

Wednesday night workout

Tom Bauer has been removed for his acts of civil (so far) disobedience.

Tom Bauer also ordered a PITA at the cellar, which took 45 minutes to make.

After 55 pushups, (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10), we did some serious abdominal work, then we violently threw a volleyball at each other for about 5 minutes. Later we swam.

group 5 - 7 miler

6 miler from 212 15th today. mouser, boldter, shop, and otto (4).

I'm still alive

I just want to apologize for my abscense from the blog for the last month or so. Work just became overbearing and my life has just been crazy. I worked up to 40 miles a week some time ago. I had to take a rest week every other week (25-30 miles) other wise the running and the 11 hour days of hard labor would kill me. Everything was going fine and then I sprained my ankle pretty bad. I had to take 2 weeks of of running. I just started again this Tuesday. I'm feeling good on the runs so far and I will try to hit 50 miles the last week before school.

Its August!

Well, with the coming of the 8th month, training should be underway with some decent consistency and mild intensity. I just ran the Boston Mud Run last night in a little town south of Buffalo. It was the most difficult, sloppiest cc course I had ever seen. 6K of absolute mud and hills. I ran about a 21:40, which means nothing. More importantly I had one of the greatest times of my life in a running situation. I was laughing uncontrollably and falling on my face in mud holes that we're up to my knees... so sweet. Hope everyone is feeling well and avoiding the dramatic heat.
This is me after the end of the mud run. Just so you have photographic proof that I'm alive and well.

July 24 - July 30

I ran shithouse yesterday in 17:30. I felt okay and I think I can run faster. Next weekend I'll be running another 5k to try to break 17:00 for my first time. I had a total of 35 for the week.

July 17 -23

Well I hit 35 this week taking one day off. I'm kinda excited for the shithouse 5k just to see what it feels like to race again.

July 10 - July 16

This week starting monday I ran 5,8,4,4,6,6,and7. So I hit exactly 40 for the week. I'm feeling good, doing abs and pushups everyday.

Week of July 3 - July 9

Hope everyones having a fantastic summer. I hit 30 miles for this week, now i hope to increase mileage steadily.

Middle of Week 2

3 days into the second week of the program.

Week of June 26 to July 2

Hey guys. I'll start posting like this at the end of each week now. This week I started on the 60 mile build up plan that phil sent.

Friday's Run

And we return to our continuing saga...

The Mouse is in the House

Well, I finally made it to the blog. I meant to start with this a few days ago but I forgot my password. Anyways, I am in the middle of week 1 according to the schedule emailed to us. I am going to adhere to either schedule B or C...I will decide which one for sure by week 3. So far so good. I did 5 miles on Monday and 4 miles on Tuesday and Wednesday. I took Thursday off. So I am at 13 miles so far this week and the goal is 30. Hopefully starting now I will be posting almost everyday. I hope everyone is doing well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY A-BOMB!

Just wanted to give a holler to Andrew Boldt on his 21st birthday. Hope everything is going well for you up in Stillwater, Minnesota. Have a good b-day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COACH ESTEN!

Congratulations, coach, you're only one year away from being a senior citizen! That means only 365 days until you can legally order from the old folks portion of the menu! I hope you enjoy this next year as much as we enjoyed having you around this past year.

Early Summer Time

Hello all, I hope this reaches the MD crew with smiles on their faces and excitement in their bones. No training as of yet, but I'm thinking about getting out for some mileage soon. For me, however, training isn't a necessity, just something so I can keep looking good while naked. This is normally the time of year when not running starts to make me go stir crazy. Any of you SE Wisco guys want to do some running just let me know. I move to New York on July 6th.

Pre-Last Chance Meet

A nice easy 2 miler followed by a few strides.

Monday Barn Burner at Oshkosh

Well, the MD crew attempted to qualify at the Oshkosh last-chance meet on Monday and were greeted with pain. Some things went our way, some things did not - so is life, so is track.

4x150m

sunday 12noon 4 miler

ran 4 miles to pumphouse today and talked about last chance meets

800m Finals

what a pathetic race we ran. all 4 of us were in the back of the pack the entire time despite the fact we covered nearly 50% of the field. when the leaders made their move with 300 to go, we didn't respond until it was too late.

boldt 4th - 155
otto 6th - 156
hummer 7th - 156
mouse 8th - 156

Friday 800 trials

We all made it to the finals, but the times were slow and races awkward.

Hummer was in the first heat and ran the whole thing way out in front by himself. He shutdown big time and still ran 155.

Boldt's heat went out in 60 and turned on the heat to come back in a 56/57, this actually worked out to our advantage as many of those people couldn't tolerate the negative split.

In the final heat, we alledgedly in the 200 in 25hi, then finished that lap in a 57 and turned it into a kicking race at the end. Mouse finished 2nd, eau claire 3rd, otto 4th. still otto ran faster than boldt who got 2nd in his heat.

Monday Workout in Hixon

The boys of semi-speed, semi-endurance rolled up to Hixon forest today for a little fartlek-like jaunt through the lower section of the trees. Four repeats of around 65 seconds up the hill on the 600 meter loop were good enough to call it a day. Two mile warm up, two mile cool down and a few 150 meter strides back at the track made our workout pleasant and profitable.

We finished the day with a 15second pickup 30second rest, 30/60, 45/1:30, 1/2, 45/1:30, 30/1, 15/30.

The temperature was 70degrees fahrenheit or over and very sunny.

We discussed Bold's comeback

Sunday Runday

Got together today for a little jaunt through Hixon. About 5.5 miles at a slow pace. The weather is spectacular and we're all feeling a little fatigued from the race, but it was good to get out and move the legs.

UNI Meet

Pretty decent start for the MD crew and for the team as a whole. TB ran a good race and finished around 2:00.8, Otto and Mouse ran an identical 1:55.9, and Hummer ran a 1:54.9. Then Otto, Mouse, and Hummer ran a 4x400. Mouse and Hummer ran side by side for much of the race and both finished with splits of 50.1, Otto kept it real with a 52.6.

Thursday Hansen Fartlek

A warm, rainy thursday. Jonathan finished his week of exams and ran alone at 6pm. It rained for awhile during the fartlek but was otherwise beautiful running weather. A fantastic kick from Smiths to West Ave.

I believe Hummer, Mouse, and Shop ran their own Hansen Fartlek at 3pm today. Read the comments!

We had the wind at our backs so it really wasn't that bad and it was a B-L-A-S-T... literally! We got about 9 miles total today with 5 miles of it on the track (including recovery laps). Looking forward to a shorter workout tomorrow and a beautiful day. Congratulations to Tom Bauer contributing by executing the last 300 in record time.

Finishing the 40

A three mile easy Sunday run today. The goal was to be well rested and hope that the short run would feel superfluous. Seems like that worked. Weekly mileage: 40!

Long Saturday

At 10:30 a.m. TB, Mouse, Hummer, and Otto got together for a 9 mile run. Everyone was a little weary and the pace was nice and slow for the majority of the run. We recounted TB's night and conjectured as to what Boldt had been doing.

Friday Easy 6

Ran our first non-workout of the week today. Our pace was fairly rapid but the legs were still able to recover a little from the week.

Thursday - 6 miles

We began with a 3 mile warmup to the site of the Phil Esten Finnish workout grounds. The first Finnish was in about 49 seconds, and the second was in 46 seconds, probably a PR. Kudos to Tom who ran some fine hills today, in the very low 50s. Big improvement, and very promising indeed. We did a 2 mile cool-down to the track to do 5 grueling 150s (avg of 21-22 seconds)

Tuesday Workout, 700,400,400,700,400,400

Hummer, Mouse, Otto, and Shop ran a fantastic workout today. The following times are for the lead pack, Tom was consistently 8 seconds behind on the 700s, and 5 on the 400s.

700 (1:53)
400 (1:01)

29th Street Hills

Monday. Week two. 4 half-hills. 2 Whole hills. Total Mileage: 6. Pcae was quick and TB was trying to show off for two girls who were also at the hill.

Saturday 4 mile with 1 mile fast

Hamschild, Mouse, Shop, and Otto ran the pumphouse route in a total of 26:11, with exactly 5 minutes of that devoted to running hard. The 5 minute up-tempo started at 2nd ave (immediate street east of ross furniture truck) to the pumphouse sign.

Friday 6 Miler

A nice jaunt through La Crosse brought us by the ol' Shithouse route.

Thursday Fartlek

Over in Myrick the group did 1 x Finnish, 2 x Borzov today. 3 mile warm up, 2 mile cool down and the day was done. Looked good, felt good. Weekly mileage to date: 19-21.

Tuesday Workout

The boys of pain did a nice workout today. 3x500, 6x50, 2x200, 4x50, 1x500. The pace for the 500's was the most important thing today and the group consistently got faster on the whole. The initial 500 was finished in about 1:22 (65.5 through the 400), then we went 1:19 (64.0), 1:17 (61.2), 1:13 (57.5). TB rolled his around 1:28 for the first few, but then thought he was being cheated out of some suffering and so he decided to pick up the pace. Considering the sore legs, of which everyone was complaining before the workout began, the first day on the outdoor track went pretty well.

First Day of Outdoor

After a highly successful indoor season track and field moves into the big arena. MD guys Boldt, Otto, Hummer, Mouse, and TB sauntered over to 29th street hill for a little strength work. They were greeted by 70 members of the women's team who were all doing a similar workout... Props to Pat Healy on fantastic coaching.

Workout Wednesday

Hey guys, my highschool team had a workout today so I decided to do it with them. It wasn't anything too hard. I did 7 400s at 70s pace. I felt comfortable the whole time. It was kinda cold out but what can ya do. Hope you guys are having a super awesome spring break. see ya soon.

Spring Break Monday

I found myself running in Waukesha today. It was nice to be home and change the scenery a little bit. I ran for about 29 minutes on what I figure to be a little over 4 miles. Last week I ended up hitting 39 miles for the week, which I was surprised about, but pleased with. I bought new shoes while I was in Minneapolis because the Mizuno's were making my shins very tender and hurting my calves a bit. I went 8 on Sunday for the first run in my new kicks and felt like I had new legs. I hope everyone is enjoying their time away from La Crosse.

nationals week

Big week for the UWL track team. Andrew is heading to Nationals in the DMR, it should be a good time. Most of the men are taking the week exceptionally easy. Hopefully spring break will be a rejuvination of old spirits and leg speed. We'll resume daily posts from our locations next week Monday.

Monday workout

The men took to the track today for an easy workout which consisted of 300's 200's and 150's. The intent of the run was to loosen the legs and give a small jolt to the system before the simulator on Tuesday. Hopefully those goals were accomplished.

First Day of Classes

The second semester has been kick started and we're all complaining already. Today we got together for a little run and spirits were high. TB, Otto, and Boldt ran a Hansen Fartlek and there were rumors of potent gas by the youngest member of said group. K-Mouse and Hummer just did the Hansen loop without the pick ups as both of them are trying to "keep it real".

Lazy Sunday 7-9 miles

7-9 miles post meet run today. Everyone on their own.

Good First Meet

The 800 meter run was quite a spectacle at this year's Maroon and Grey Alumni Race. Boldt, TB, and Otto all ran the half-mile race in style and looked fairly dominant in so doing. Boldt and Otto took the top two spots with high 1:55s while TB ran a good 2:01. Everyone looked smooth and strong. Great opener!

Pre-Meet!!!

Boldt, Maus, and Shop ran 4 miles today, Hummer did a little more. Jonathan ran 3 miles on his own because his job at the CBA held him up.

Borzov

Went into Myrick Park and blasted through two Borzov circuits today. Group just keeps looking better. Alumni is coming up and the gang should be rolling along quite nicely.

Big Workout

Today, Boldt, TB, Otto, and Hummer ran a pretty good workout. 800 AT, 900 at date pace + 20 sec., 3x3x300 (sets of 46,45,44 for dan and andrew; 47,46,45 for otto; 48,47,46 for TB) , 3x100 at 14 sec. Thats a lot to consume, but the young crew did it well. Everyone hit their times and looked sexy doing it. Afterward we decided that we had not quite worked hard enough so we went in the weight room and lifted for a solid 45 minutes... so there, Mark Guthrie!

7 miler

Nice easy 7 miler today with adam kleinmaus the great. Boldt had the flu so he stayed home! We did schmidty's for 5 miles, and then ran into Myrick park to get an extra 2 miles.....eeeeewow!

Saturday's long run

we did the hummer-8, which is really about 7.5 miles. Reverse shithouse, then continue into into the reverse rabbit trails for what seemed to be 7.5 miles. Historically, Hummer did this run in 41 minutes, today with Swamp Thing (Tom Bauer) leading, we did it in 47 minutes and 39 seconds.

Friday easy run

We ran reverse rabbit trails for about 5 miles to relax after a strenuous first week.

Thursday Finnish Circuits!

4x finnish circuits, OMG HARD. Great weather, can't beat 40 degrees and sunny in January!

900m Track Tuesday Workout

900,900,55,55,55,55,55,55,200,200,55,55,55,55,900.

Except, we decided to only do 600m on the last 900. Surprisingly had more energy than expected and ran it faster than we were supposed to, still very exhausted.

First offical day of 2006 T&F

The First offical day of the 2006 track and field season kicked off with a blast today. J.J. rejoined the group for the first time in about three weeks, refuting speculation of death, disease, and delinquency. He, TB, Ottoman Empire, myself, and Bomb went on the 5 mile loop we call rabbit trails and spoke much about TB's body odor and necessary maturation. We've developed a nine step process by which TB can become a man... we'll see how it goes.

8 miles today, we went the 7-mile trane company route, and then ran diagonal from losey and 22nd to west avenue and pine -> to mitchell to come out with 8 miles. 52 minutes 23 seconds.

5 miles today with humdinger, boldt, box, and jotto. Great run really. Reverse rabbit trails, about 31 minutes. Box was half-stepping boldt, who kept pushing the pace.

Finally starting to get going here as a team, Tom Bauer, Andrew Boldt, Dan Haumschild, and Jonathan Otto ran a Hansen Fartlek today, quite rigorously too. We stretched and did some basic lifting in preparation for Brandon's lifting program next week.
