<p>Morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I may try to hop on the treadmill for an easy 3... Gonna try and do my long run tomorrow, but work may get in the way.</p>

<p>BBS--what is it with you boys wanting to jump and hop on the treadmill?!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been laid flat with a killer cold.  Coughing up chunks of lung and just plain can't breathe.  Hopefully this is one of those fast moving bugs!  No workouts for me today!</p>

<p>good morning.  I got out for a sluggish 5 miles.  It is in the books. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>4BM-  I hope you get better soon.</p>
<p>BBS-  Have fun hopping on the treadmill.  Running on it does sound so much easier though.</p>

<p>I just realized that I'm running a marathon on Saturday.  Crap... better get in a 20 miler to prep for that  Rest day first. <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif">  The temps are getting lower.  Now it's 26F with a wind chill of 20F at the start, rising to low 30s by the time I expect to finish.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - your run is just a hop, skip and a jump away.</p>
<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> - I once saw a women dancing on a treadmill at the gym - you gals are crazy.  Hope you feel better soon.</p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - 5 is 5.  Good job getting out there.</p>

<p>Morning all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm at work but my head's already in Manhattan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not much planned for today, probably a little elliptical session at home this evening, 30 minutes or so. I ran 4 on the home TM (no hopping) last night, w/ the middle 2 at MP; actually it was a little faster than what I probably should be running for much of Sunday. Largely out of habit, I ran "MP" on the treadmill at 8.3 mph, or a 7:13/mile pace. That's in line with my usual max goal of running a 3:10. But on Sunday I really want to be going about 3:20 pace for the the first 15, which is more like 7:40/mile. So it should feel easy compared to last night...with room to step it up if I'm feeling good at 15.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a different approach than I've tried in previous marathons...but maybe this one will get me off that 3:20 plateau I seem to be stuck on (I've run 3:21 twice, 3:20 once).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - have a good 3</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm - ugh, chest colds suck. Yuck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - good job getting it done</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - brrrr!!! I really need to start paying attention to Big Apple weather and probably pack multiple race day gear options tonight. I have a feeling it will be chilly Sunday morning in NYC too, though maybe not quite as cold as Indy.</p>

<p>I am taking the day off or maybe just an off day.   Maybe I should do a choreographed treadmill routine.   I did make it to some wobbly yoga yesterday.   Feel better <strong>4boys</strong> and hope you racers are gearing up for the weekend.</p>

<p>I ran in the cold rain this afternoon. 10 fast-ish miles (8:13). Freaking taper.</p>

<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - safe travels!!!! I cannot wait to see how you do. FYI, it's suppose to be in the 30's here in PA on Sun morning.</p>
