<p>Morning, all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7 miles on tap today, after yesterday's 2000 in the pool.  Been messing with my stroke and breathing rates to try to get faster.  Seems to be working a bit. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good ones to all of youse.</p>

<p><strong>Chances</strong> - enjoy the 7.  Do you have a masters swim program by you?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last night was a mile time trial on the track.  Not my idea of a good workout but I did it anyway.  Managed a 5:20, which is likely a PR. Even split with a 2:40 @ 800, which allowed me to pass folks who faded.  5 miles total running ovals.  This morning I forced myself out of bed for 9 GA miles after another night of broken sleep as DD is still sick.</p>

<p>Chances- Have a nice 7.  Are you training for another tri?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA- Nice goin on the mile!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got in a decent 5 miles last night w/ the group... well, we started out as a group, I ended up running 4.5 miles solo.  Schedule says 3x1600 in 6:51 w/ 800 recoveries.  I had some 'chroes' to do for DW when I left work, so I guess I'm gonna attempt this workout on the TM.  My hectic week continues... Did I mention that deer season is opening this weekend on top of all my other crap I have going on?</p>

<p>2000m of splishing and splashing.  Tri season is over so just an easy workout.  20miles on tap for tomorrow.  ?'s on the route.  Temps should be mild--50-60's.  Plan is to use my van as an aid station.  What is the latest I should plan on my first stop?  I was thinking about doing 9, then mix and match for the remaining miles.  Is that too late?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>chances--would that be an even 7?</p>
<p>Asics--nicely done!</p>
<p>BBS--from what I saw on my drive home last weekend, it looks like deer season has already started.  BUNCH of nice looking bucks splattered on the roadway.</p>

<p>NIce job on all the workouts this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS-  Some of the bow hunting has started.  In October the hunting season really gets going with the deer, elk, moose, antelope etc...</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got in a nice 5 miles @ 8:32 pace.  Overall it was a nice run.</p>

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dreary & rainy (thunderstorms) here today which means the scheduled midweek bike ride, for the second straight week will be indoors. Would like to go 60 minutes today and maybe throw in some core afterwards though that would be extending the lunch "hour" concept mighty far. Then again the boss is gone now for a couple of weeks...he's into huntin' season as well, and will be off in Montana looking for elk.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chances - I think so much of swimming is technique. I haven't figured it out yet, that's for sure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - nice mile time there and even splits to boot. Only 25.2 more at that pace and you'll run a 2:19 marathon. <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>BBS - have fun with those mile repeats</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>4bm - set the "aid stations" up as close as possible to what you want to do on race day. For marathons I like to do gels at 8, 12, 16, 20 and keep one in reserve</span> for the final 10k to use if you need it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - nice job on the 5</p>
<p> </p>

Depends on your pace and the weather.  For my 20 on Sunday I popped my first gel @ mile 6, since that is when I start in a marathon plus I was running faster than my typical long run.  As such, I had 2 more.   When running slower,  I have 1 or 2 since I may wait until 8 to 10 miles then have another at 15 if I need it.</p>
