I'll be doing 9-11 tonight on the TM after I put my son to bed. I'm really happy to have the TM - it makes time management and doing Medium Long runs mid week much better. Yeah I'm a whimp, and count 9 as a ML run <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
I ran 9 yesterday (Pfitz called for <img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif">, but I split it 6 and 3. I was supposed to do 8 with 4 at tempo (15k - 1/2 pace) instead I ran 6 with 4 at tempo (1 mile warm up and warm down) on each end. Then I ran 3 easy later that night.<br><br>
I'm off to a good start this year 54 miles last week (53.9) and I should be close to 55 this week. So hopefully I'll wrap up January with over 200 miles <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I have heart burn thinking about running after that combination.<br><br>
I had a really good chili dog a few weeks ago, I think it will be my last. I walked the dog about 30 minutes after eating it, and I felt like fire was radiating out of my stomach. I remember that's the night I realized - I can't eat like I'm 19 anymore <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

I've always been an Asics guy at heart... Cumulus at first then the Landreth... then my store stopped carrying the Landreth, and they never had the Cumulus in my size, so I switched to Mizuno Wave Riders... the 8's then 9's... now I'm back to my old favorites the GEL Landreths. I get about 500-600 miles out of a pair of shoes. I have a small frame, and I'm a forefoot striker, don't know if that's why...<br><br>
I keep 2 pairs of the same type of shoe in rotation.<br><br>
Oh, and I have a pair of neon yellow Asics Magic Racer racing flats for 5k-15k. I think they have one more race in them, then I'll retire them, and get a new pair of flats.

LL VO2Max Berg - that's awesome!<br><br>
Based on some runner widget calculater, and most of my race times... my VO2Max is around 50...<br><br>
9 miles running on the 'Mill with .25 mile warm down walk...
