<p>With the major marathons on this weekend in London (already finished in 2:04:40) and Boston tomorrow, I laced up my shoes for my own little marathon steps on teh road back to fitness. My, now somewhat regular, run of just under 6 km. We had a storm last night and it was overcast and around 18 C when I went out and ran easliy without much effort, recording a time of 1 minute faster than previously on this route, albeit little traffic today and no junctions to worry about.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck to all heading to Boston, and any otehr races anyone is doing - see you in the week.</p>

<p>nice run Liam</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tammy.....part of your marathon training should be fueling requirements as well. You burn what, 100 calories per mile running? With that little BF you should have eaten a couple of gels during your run minimum.....but you know all this anyway. Other than that, nice run..<span><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"> </span>Wish I could  meet up and run a 16 or 18 miler with ya, but don't think it's in the cards now.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hi guys!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One day at a time, Liam.  You're heading in the right direction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You tested that ankle out yet, Johnny?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day for me today.  I'm pleased that the foot isn't hurting much at all and the AT that I thought I'd screwed up isn't bad at all, but maybe it's just the effect of the ice and Aleve.  Will know for sure tomorrow when I get back at it.  Results for yesterday haven't been posted, but from another forum I lurk on, I understand that only 3 of the original 43 that started the 50 miler actually finished it.  I rinsed out the socks, gaiters and insoles on the back porch in a bucket this morning, and there must have been at least a half cup of sand at the bottom of the bucket when I was done.  And that was <span style="text-decoration:underline;">after</span> knocking off an 1/8" layer of sand that was on the forefoot of the insoles before dumping them in the bucket. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking forward to following Boston tomorrow.  Go racers!!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Afternoon all.  Keep at it Liam</p>
<p>Hiya Johnny</p>
<p>Heme - sounds like you came thru your ordeal in good shape</p>
<p>Welcome back Tom</p>
<p> </p>
<p>resting here.   Tomorrow begins cut back week and the next week is "taper" week.   Don't even run Thurs of taper week and I normally run twice on Thurs. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Go Bostoners Go!!</p>

 

[Tamster]

<p>nice running Liam!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>great to hear that Tom ran every day! whoo!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>enjoy the taper KS. What will you do with all that extra time?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Heme, good resting for you. I'm hoping all systems are a go tomorrow and it wasn't just the Aleve masking anything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Johnny, wishing you could do some of my long runs with me also. Certainly makes time go by faster with a friend. But I guess doing these runs solo builds mental stamina. Yes, you are correct that I need to take something with me on these long runs. I thought some electrolyte enhanced water I was carrying with me would be enough for 16 miles, but I think I need a gel on these runs also.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>felt pretty good today. no soreness, just some tightness thru the hams, but that's nothing unusual for me.</p>
<p>short week for me. only working M-W, then going on an overnight field trip with my sons class. leaving at 0630 thurs and don't return until about 1800 on Friday. lots and lots of walking from what I understand. And climbing a bazillon steps at the state capitol. First stop is a tour of Autzen Stadium, then a tour of the capitol, then an overnight at the Portland Zoo. Portland is close to 5 hrs from here, so quite a ways for alot of these kids.</p>

<p>Hi everybody. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>7.04 miles in 60:00 and it felt hard from the beginning after yesterdays trail half marathon.</p>
<p>I even held off running until 7 pm to get a little more recovery.  I can see at least two more recovery runs in</p>
<p>the next couple days. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will be writing a race report shortly.</p>

<p>Hi, Gang.</p>
<p>   Three miles here. Even though I had two days in a row off, I still felt sluggish. That is the way it goes sometimes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good runs, all </p>
