<p>Hey BBS, happy Friday. Where is everyone else? (rhetorical question, I know)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Trying to get down a PowerBar right now so I can squeeze in a little 2-3 miler before a 2pm meeting. Next time I run I'll be on the Ben Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. I'd love to bail out of here early today so I can start getting organized for the weekend. We plan to hit the road by 10am tomorrow, which should have us up there and at the expo by 1pm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Speaking of all that...bib number 2384 if you're feeling racer-tracky on Sunday morning.</p>

<p><strong>BBS</strong> - 5 miles this morning, 12 tonight and 14 tomorrow.  You are rather keen!    </p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - safe travels and best of luck in Philly!  What's the goal again?  3:10?  3:20?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nothing today.  Pissed about the fact that I fixed a leaking faucet only to now have a leaking p-trap w/ an even more water damaged vanity.  Have to buy a different sealant and/or new set of pipes as something is f'ed up.  Long term, have to rip out the vanity and assess the damage.  More $$ down the drain.</p>

<p>No running for me yet.  I was trying to post on my new Kindle Fire, but it would not let me.  5 miles or around that later today. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA-  Good luck with the water leak.</p>

<p>Hawk--you are gonna rock that course!</p>
<p>Asics--I feel your pain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have felt like absolute crap since starting on this new medication.  Sick to my stomach and jittery.  Resting HR is around 60, which is just a tad high, but not bad.  Figured a run would help.  For whatever reason I thought running trails would be a good idea.  Uh, not.  Started with the meadow loop.  Even though I know I was just slogging along my heart was just pounding.  I'd say 170 is just a tad high for the effort.  Finished the meadow loop and decided to do the woods loop.  This goes into/out of the river valley.  Lots of climbing.  Needless to say that wasn't happening.  Just couldn't keep the HR under control.  5ish total.</p>

<br><br><p>3:20, officially for this one, out of respect for the fact I had a very short training cycle and was coming off injury in the summer. I feel pretty good about the prospects. Plus a sub-3:20 gets me outside the 5:00 window where 45-49 BQers have to wait to register -- i.e., a nice little bit of extra motivation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2.6 miles at lunch today, 4 x30 second striders at the end. And that's a wrap until Sunday.</p>

<p>5 miles @ 8:39 pace.  It is starting to get cold outside.  Any later and I would not have wanted to go running.</p>

<p>You'll all be happy to know that I fixed the leak... of course then the sink would not drain... there must have been a block further down the line as I rodded the line and it seemed ok.  Plunger to the rescue.  I almost murdered someone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - BQ - 5 mins is the way to go.  I'm now stuck with a BQ - 4:25 for 2013 unless I go sub 3:10 at Boston, which is the plan.</p>
