<p>Thanks for starting Johnny. Nice way to start your day before work.  I still need to burn that CD for you. haven't forgotten completely.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah, I wasn't liking the cold fog this a.m. either, but then I just think of the midwesters and all their snow and sub freezing temps . . . brrrrrrr. A friend of mine is in her freshman year at Oklahoma Christian U - so she's getting quite the dose of what winter is like after living in So. Oregon all her life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>intervals at the track last night. only had time for a total of 4 miles. 2 mile warm up , followed by 3x2 min intervals 7:20 pace with 3:00 recoveries. then a few laps for a cool down before I needed to get home.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>today is a rest day. another staff meeting at lunchtime. two free lunches in a row. yippee!</p>

<p>Hi Johnny, TW, and KS!</p>
<p>Hi Tamster!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before I opened the Spoiler, I was thinking  "didn't know choir was that much of a contact sport............" <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">  Fighting over the solos, were we?</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Thanks for all the weight advice/encouragement yesterday</span>.  Don't think it's all muscle mass, as some clothes are getting a wee bit tighter, which is the only thing I truly care about, especially after buying a few pairs of skinny jeans recently.  Will start with halving the ethanol ration.  The effect of work, etc. on my blood pressure may dictate that I don't eliminate it all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 meh miles on the TM before work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy your day, everyone!</p>

<p>Hello, Masterfuls.</p>
<p>   They're saying just snow showers for the next two days up this way, and I hope that's the extent of it. </p>
<p>   I got in three miles today, slow, steady and sluggish. This week is already looking to be among my better ones so far this short year.</p>
<p>Good runs, all</p>

<p>Hey hey hey over there</p>
<p> </p>
<p>16 miles today a swim and some circuits, I have another marathon on Friday so after 59 miles in 4 days I am having an easy day tomorrow</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here in the UK we have spent today discussing best half marathon compared to BMI to see if we could get some conversion for the heavier runner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Take the time in minutes divide it by your BMI the lower the number the better you did.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interesting but pointless geeking really.</p>

<p>Quick flyby, since I have to go run out to pick up DD from the gym. I was finishing my workout and about to go home as she was walking from school to there, about a mile away. She texted me, asking would I come pick her up halfway. I said no, that's your warmup walk. I'm such a mean mother, I know.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Laterz!</p>

A fun new game......108.3 /22.5 = 4.8, although that will go up next week.<br>
 </p>

 

[ksrunr]

<p>latest half = 3.67</p>

 

[irunmike]

<p>4 ez.  And you can't make me do long division.</p>

 

[Labduck]

3.92 for me. I like math!

 

[ripvanracer]

<p>Did a nice pace workout on the treadmill today.  I'm thinking about running a 15k in a couple weeks and would like to run near an hour which would be a 6:26 pace.  The plan was to run  6:31 pace (at 3% incline) for the fast parts to get the turnover I will need and do 2 minute recovery at 8:27 pace.  I warmed up 2 miles in a little under 17 minutes.  I then did 4 X 60  seconds, 4 X 75 seconds, and 3 X 90 seconds before finishing up with 3:30 at 6:27 pace.  That gave me 17 minutes at a little faster than 5k pace effort but with the long recoveries, the run was more medium effort.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ended up with 7.8 miles in 60:00 and 1,235 ft elevation gain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While my BMI has stayed pretty steady, my times have slowed a little since I hurt my back.  I went from 3.85  (79/20.5) to 4.09. </p>

 

[OrangeMat]

<p>Either I'm way too fat or I'm way too slow... eh, probably both.... either way, my number started with a 6, so there's some data for you, Gobi, on the other end of the spectrum.</p>

 

[tomwhite]
