The nice part about running at 13% for over an hour is that a 5% cooldown feels like a downhill. Glad that's done for the week.<br><br>
Are we completely insane yet?

Abbie, God damn, will you never learn? You are barely back running again and you're running sub 8:30-ish miles. NOT SMART. I don't recommend going from zero to 60. Gotta side with Kempy on this one. You will end up injured again. I am thrilled that you are pain-free, but why rush it? Take it easy until you've got at least a month of running under your belt again. Just johnny's $0.02...

Ky, I have no pms? are you messin with johnny?

Well I'm training at 16:50 pace. I wouldn't call that smokin'. But I'm not even thinking about speed at this point. Just going the distance. But if I can speed my pace up by 25% for the race, that would be about 12+ minute miles. Prob a little ambitious, but my 5K/10K pace is about 20% or so faster than my training pace, so maybe not all that unrealistic. I ran the expected finish calculator against some of my recent races and it puts me on the high end at somewhere around 1:45/1:46. So I'd put finishing under that as my base goal. Anything more is pure gravy. I'm sure when I actually see the mountain my jaw will hit the floor.<br><br>
Marianne, if you see me slumped on the side of the auto road, I'm just resting.

Lame, are you in for Mt. Wash?<br><br>
Looks like I might need to pack my foul weather gear. Hey a snowy run in late June might be fun. Hell, with the whole Boston crew there to watch me and Marianne (Hint, Hint),<br>
it should be a blast.<br><br>
Should I bring a flag to plant at the top?<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/s-ctf.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="UT">

OK, Ky has my cell #. I have been designated post race nanny, de-briefer, and all purpose info-ho. I will try to get race info posted for the 2 or 3 of us not running.

Tony are you racing this weekend?

 

[JohnnyB]

tony, those look like brooks you're wearing....

 

[JohnnyB]

What's your goal time? I bet you'll kick some ass

 

[JohnnyB]

Nobody smiles during 5Ks, they hurt too much.

 

[JohnnyB]

Lee, Andi, girls, it is time to crack open a beer and take the edge off. You will finish this marathon, just like thousands of others have done. It will be better than you think. Trust me on that.

 

[JohnnyB]

Why the fuck do they let this woman vacuum before we are gone???? Fuck it is so god damn annoying. She can't wait another fucking hour!

I loved that movie. In high school we were track geeks. We lived for that movie. Of course we kind of made fun of it too, pretending to run in slow motion etc.
