<p>6.45 in 56:02 for an 8:41 average. Felt okay this morning.  Just cranking out the miles right now.</p>

 

[kfuller]

<p>Good morning FB.  I am getting ready to go out for 5 miles in a bit.  Enjoy the morning everyone.</p>

 

[vashondan]

<p>Morning...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FB - Nice running yesterday and today. You are cranking them out.</p>
<p>Kevin - Hope your 5 went well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While I think the thyroid thing is much better, this cold's got a hold on me.  Coughed most of the night. </p>

 

[Novia]

<p>FB, you're a rockstar!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>realized when I got home last night that yesterday is a rest day but walked for an hour and a half anyway, wanted to keep the blood pumping and not encourage my legs to seize up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today is tempo Tuesday I'll get in a good 6 on the dreadmill (always run tempo on the dreadmill because if I don't, I'd cheat) when I get home.  I'm four weeks out from RnR in San Antonio and really don't know how missing 3 weeks of training is gonna affect me.</p>

<p>Since I missed my long run on Sunday I did it this morning.  Low 40s and clear, starry sky.  Almost got attacked by a dog; almost ran into the same bozo 5 minutes later - walking his dog w/o a leash and no flashlight; almost got mugged by the Korean Mafia out running in the forest preserve w/o lights, almost ran only 15.9 miles but jogged to the end of the street.  The result was 16 late for work miles @ ~8mpm pace.  Odd that I felt faster in the first half and slower coming back but my pace was about the same.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - hope the tempo goes as planned</p>
<p><strong>Novia</strong> - New to the dailies?  Welcome.  I used to do all my speedwork on the TM... it helps you keep on pace if not run a tad faster.  Missing 3 weeks is tough so you may need to dial back your m-pace around The Alamo(dome). </p>
<p><strong>Dan</strong> - you need to quit trading ailments and get better.  NOW!</p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - enjoy the 5'er</p>
<p><strong>FB</strong> - nice early going.</p>

 

[loopy]

<p>Nice run FB.</p>
<p>Kevin hope you have a good one.</p>
<p>Good luck with the tempos Novia and BBS.</p>
<p>Hope you feel better soon Dan.</p>
<p>Sounds like a very eventful long run Asics!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did another 10 miles this gloomy wet morning on a somewhat sloppy canal path. Still in shock over how fast the Boston Marathon filled up -- and glad I made it in this time...</p>

 

[chances141]

<p>Hi, everyone.  Flyby as I'm on the road prepping for some proceedings.  Nowhere to run around here, so I did 30 laps or so in the parking lot.  3.50 miles, give or take.  Still feeling pretty beat up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I guess inkling I had to run Boston for fun is moot now.  Sold out in 8 hours? </p>

 

[kfuller]

<p>Got in 5 miles in 43:14(8:38).  Startin out uphill in the dark early morning is not fun. After getting to some level ground my run got better.  I either run uphill to start the run or end the run I guess from where I live.  have a great morning everyone.</p>

 

[CMJHawk86]

<p>Morning all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've got a midday run planned today, hopefully I can fit it in. Otherwise it will have to be this evening. 7-8 or so, maybe a progression run. TBD.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It will be interesting to see what the BAA does (if anything) about qualification or the registration process after yesterday. The idea of toughening up the women's qualification standards has gotten a lot of ink but I think the bigger issue is the growth in the charity runners. Nothing wrong with those types of runners, of course. But having too many non-qualified entrants get in at the expense of qualified entrants not getting in (especially first time BQers) will damage the race's brand and status as a World Marathon Major event. There needs to be a balance. Just my $.02.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FB - nice job & good pacing</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dan - I agree with RA, that cold is gettin' old. Get well!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Novia - can't do much about the 3 weeks in the past, just worry about the present and have a good 6</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - have fun with the tempo</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - your morning adventures are starting to rival loopy's</p>
<p> </p>
<p>loopy - nice 10 on the canal path</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chances - 30 times around a parking lot? Ugh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - sounds like the opposite of my runs near home. Our house is at the top of a hill so I always finish on an uphill, from any direction.</p>

 

[mutthound]

<p>RA- good and crazy run</p>
<p>loopy- I hope you dry out well</p>
<p>chances- 50 miler near Orlando in April?  instead of running around a parking lot, lean your head against a wall and just run in place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>me- 10 miler with a two minute negative split between the first half and second half of my run.</p>

 

[CMJHawk86]

<p>Woo-hoo! Great progression run today! <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ran w/ my buddy at work and we both were feeling good. After a warmup mile in 8:02, we went 7:51, 7:35, 7:20, 7:00, and 6:44 before cooling it down back to the office. 6.89 miles all told, in 51:54.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think I'm turning the corner...I hope New York is ready for me. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" title=""></p>

<p>Late day fly-by for me.  Rude start to the morning.  I was lounging in bed when I realized that son2 had over slept.  Since it was an honest mistake, I drove him. That messed up my morning routine, though.  Oh well.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finally got out for my run this afternoon.  Tried to hold back and keep it easy.  Ended up with a short 4 at 8:43pace.  Sigh... MP again.  Only a couple more short runs before the big day.  Weather is looking perfect.  Scary.</p>

Hi everybody. I used my phone's gps today b/c I left my garmin at the office. It said I ran 8 miles. But that can't be right. I'm guessing it was much closer to 7.
