5 more days...the excitement is building. I'm actually excited to start training again, so I think the 2 weeks of rest has definitely done its job. 
Have a great day.

Alex, glad to hear that you are itching to get back out there. I'm ramping up my miles so that I can begin a fairly aggressive training cycle targeting both a 5K in March and the Boston Marathon in April. This morning I ran 8 miles around the nearby park. The weather was accomodating (42°F), making this my favorite time of the year to run.

Hockey night tonight!

I will attempt to restart training (Cross with a few runs) after doing nothing but walking last week at Disney - I also have to restart weight loss - The mouse made me gain weight. In the spirit of a restart I made my goals / race schedule for 2008 
Alex - Hopefully we can do 2 or 3 of these together 
Bock (5M) 
Bellin (10k) 
H&S (5M) 
Runski (10k) 
Marathons (May be last year of these) 
Boston - I would like to meet Roots (and Others) 
Chicago - I'd like to meet Nirvana (and Others) 
Ultras - Ice Age 50 Miler 
Next year's real focus will be on running a fast fall 5k. 
I am restarting @ 236# (10/29/07) after 8 weeks off - So there is a lot of cross training and slow running in my near future. 
I may not post daily - but I will at least post weekly. 
Good running to all -

Hey, there's some other people in Boston you should meet, just sayin'... <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"> 
A slower tempo run today (but faster than normal training pace). 4.1 miles 33:13 (8:07). 
Then I went into the gym and did some upper body weights & crunches. My arms are shaky still. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

Hey y'all got in 3 easy miles at lunch a recovery day for me. 
Alex way to get back out there. 
Flounder restarting is hard but worthwhile.

Flounder · Oct 31, 2007

I doing Boston for fun - Jensparks it would be fun to meet you and as many KR people as possible. I also am looking forward to watching the womens' olympic trials in person.

Alex · Oct 31, 2007

My coach is a lucky dog Mikey. For a vacation him and his wife, other coach, are heading to New York for 3 days and watching the Men's Trials. Plus their hotel is like a block away from central park so they get to run there too.

5.67 with a nasty fall downhill on ice. Put me on the cheese grater that did. I've got road rash up my right leg. Should be fun running tomorrow. 
But, I did manage some fast miles after that (the last 2.67 actually.)

I taught yoga today -- it felt great. 
For cardio it was cross-training. I am sure the class I went to was among the hundreds of spinning classes that incorporated Michael Jackson's "Thriller" into a pre-Halloween ride.

Plan tonight was to run my home 15.2 mile loop. 
When I got out there, my legs were feeling pretty frisky, so I decided that I would push the pace just a little bit during miles 4, 5 and 6. 
I came home a bit tired, but I came home feeling accomplished. This was my longest run since Bay State. 
Beautiful night for a run.
