Nice symetry yesterday Happyfeat. 
 
Good luck irunmike in your race. Only a 5k right so no biggie for a marathoner. Glad you got to see your dad. 
 
FO - I used to travel Neb, Iowa, Missouri, MN, and Dakotas. Been to Kearney many times.
 
Rest day today except for yard work after church.
 
Have a good day all.

TW, I was never much into frisbees or dogs. 
 
Hi John. 
 
HappyFeat is probably on her roller coaster run right now.
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s3JI_DWvWg&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s3JI_DWvWg&feature=related</a> 
 
I tried to gain a half hour this morning but hit the snooze so I lost the whole hour.
I'll work on that the next couple days. 
 
Todays plan was a medium effort run. Kept steady until about 6 when I was feeling good
and running up on the console. I increased the incline from 2% to 2.5% for about 12 minutes as I was going
through my progression. Heartrate averaged a little over 80%. Felt so good, I decided to go 9 miles
so I ran the last mile in 6:33 @ 2% incline. 66:38 total time.

Let's see if I can post a graph of my roller coaster run:

It's not too extreme, I guess, but it's taken me many months to get comfortable with it and increase the distance to this. It's currently my favorite workout.

That looks like fun HappyFeat. One of my favorite runs is a hilly 10 miler.

irunmike · Mar 13, 2011

Awesome run, Happy Feat! WTG!
 
PW today at 5K, 23:40 or so, but all's well. Actually it was a grand time. Met lots of new friends, drank more Guinnes than I prolly should have, but I had a fine time.
 
Rip, you're scaring me. Soon you'll be getting airborne.
 
tw - you ran into a rave event - lucky for you!

Nice rollercoaster, HappyFeat!!
 
TW, a couple of my friends play Ultimate. Sounds like fun, but takes way too much coordination for this spaz.
 
Hi KS and Rip!! <img alt="wave.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wave.gif"> Hi Mike!
 
Two of the girls at work, both newbie runners talked me into going with then for the St Patrick's Day 5K in downtown Toronto. The entry fee was steep, even in Canadian terms, but it was for charity and there was a nice tech shirt offered, along with the promise of chili and beer after. What with the LR yesterday, I knew I wouldn't be racing, so thought at best I'd pace one or other of the girls, especially since the foot was quite sore still this morning. The course was a nice flat out and back through downtown streets. With two metatarsal pads in the right shoe, the foot felt half decent, so I paced the faster of the two out to the turn around, then dropped back to bring in the second, less experienced woman in to the finish. A PW for me at just over 30 minutes, but the girls both did better than they every had, and I got a good recovery run in. 
 
One frightening scene occured on the course however...on the return I passed a group of about 10-12 people in the middle of the street, gathered around a prone older runner.... with a young woman giving him CPR. On the train home, another participant I was talking to said that he saw the man fall mid stride like he'd been shot, apparently hitting his head on the pavement. As others stopped immediately, he kept running, so he didn't see what followed. Apparently paramedics were there in only a couple of minutes, but there was no word on whether or not he made it back at the start/finish, or on the news since. Tragic!!
 
Stay safe everyone!

Glad you had such fun, Mike - that's worth alot all by itself.
Heme nice work pacing those girls. Scary to hear about people falling out like that though. Hope the guy is okay after all.
 
In comparison to my rollercoaster route, here's a graph of the Rhody Run I am working toward in May

Hi, Masterfuls. 
 Four miles here. Struggled on the last couple of hills. It was one of those in-between days. About 45, 46, which is about the coolest in which I will wear shorts. 
 
Good runs, all

gobi · Mar 13, 2011

Evening all 
 
Busy weekend indeed. 2.54.xx yesterday and only a mild cramp going off a curb about .5 of a miles from the end. Gave lots of blood and did some some other tests as well. Study is on fatigue in marathon runners. I don't think they knew what to do with me as I was trotting around afterwards. Went back this morning for more blood tests before heading out for a 2hour bike ride. All in all things are excellent. 
 
Mrs G has had a good weekend as well so this evening we ran 7 miles together. She once more abused me for making her run too slowly.
 
Heme - that is sad news indeed. 
 
Best wishes all 
 
G

Hi everyone....daylight savings time is here.
 
Congrats KS on your speedy almost 10K yesterday.
 
My oldest daughter met her husband playing Ultimate Frisbee. They gave out frisbees @ the wedding....Things sure do change, back in the day the "refreshment truck" was some stoners van <img alt="hippy2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hippy2.gif" style="width:43px;height:28px;">
 
Your rollercoaster run looks like my usual run Happy Feat, must the PNW mountains.
 
Nice TM run Rip
 
Mike..I'd settle for your PW anyday.
 
Nice LR yesterday Heme...hope your foot is OK and doesn't turn into PF.......scary news on the runner today. Dropping like you've been shot is not good.
 
Nice to hear from shorts wearin' Baba....Who's Next...??
 
Oh Yeah SuperGobi....better watch out they'll keep doing tests on you till they figure you out. Nice to hear Mrs. G running some.
 
As for me, after my bonk at the HM last month, I decided to see just how fast I could run 4 miles today and then come up with some new numbers to use in training. 2 mile WU from the gym parking lot to the local HS track, then 4 in 31:18 (7:59, 7:49, 7:49, & 7:40) followed by a 2 mile CD back to the gym. First time since 2007 I've been able to run sub 8 minute miles, so I'm happy about that.
