well that is way sweet of you to ask.<br><br>
really good, It airs today on the public access channel like 13 diffrent times. It is a cool spot, I talk briefly about why people should support the local food shelf by attending the fundraising event and how we use their donations. Then some musicians did s sample song from what they will play that night. funny thing was we ran late there, ran out the door drove 10 minute across town and literally walked into a radio studio, sat in the chair and did the same exact thing for a local community radio talk show. felt like a star promoting a movie

Damn nice workout, <b>PTom</b>!<br><br>
We got SO LUCKY and didn't loose power, traffic was a mess, though without the lights working...we did have surges all day, that was it---After 3 major hurricanes in the past 4 years, I get a little jumpy when the lights go out. During each of those storms, we were close to, or at 2 weeks w/out power each time!<br><br><b>Voo</b>, those pictures are beautiful!<br><br>
Tempo day today here...yikes...speedwork. It actually went very well, it was super duper windy but not as hot so that makes such a difference for me!<br><br>
2 miles--easy<br><b><i>7 @Tempo</i></b> (I've never gone over 5, oh boy--I think this workout is for the <b>Pacer/PTom</b> speed runners) I was hoping to keep it around a 7:05ish pace because of the length/wind. I came pretty close.<br>
7:05<br>
7:01<br>
6:57<br>
7:04<br>
7:10<br>
7:09<br>
7:12<br>
5 miles--easy<br>
14 miles total--over 300 for February!!!<br><br>
It was pretty damn windy, so the effort was certainly felt, but it was okay. Overall I'm happy with how this workout went. I'm pretty sure I could nail a shorter tempo (4 or 5 miles) run at a pretty good clip next time around. My comfort level is a lot better with these workouts now, I'm not nearly as worried about them as I was a month or so ago.

requesting permission for a fly by.<br>
hey all.<br>
10 miles on Monday and I got a 6.4 mile tempo run in yesterday - after warming up, it was mostly downhill for 2+ miles @ 7:10 mpm, turned around and did 7:35's back. I felt like poop doing it - like I had shoelaces hanging down my throat - so bad it made me gag after the turnaround. I like PB & J only once chewed.<br><br><b>JenGumpRuns</b>...300 miles? WTF? You must not work. Or sleep. Or go anywhere. Save some for the trip from Hopkinton to Boston!<br><b>LL</b> - that's some serious barf o'rama speed work. On the TM?<br><b>Prae</b> - your schedule kills me...sounds like it's killing you. Hang in there!<br><b>Voo</b> - great pics. Friggin love running on trails like that. Once the weather improves, I'll have to take some pix of the rails to trails path I frequented last year.<br>
Tippin' my cap to the rest of you.<br>
Ok...I'm off to do 8 'recovery' miles. Lookin' pretty mild outside (35*, 8 mph wind...shorts?)<br><br>
My one and only work day today so I can't play long...or, er, at all.

<b>Cus</b> - so glad to hear the cast has been castaway, so to speak. Continued good healing to you<br><br>
Dang <b>Jen</b> - at that rate, it almost seems like you could run TO Boston before you actually run AT Boston<br><br>
I'm Addicted To Running, Example #355 - I was walking to work early this morning when I saw a runner headed down the sidewalk the opposite way.<br><br>
Nuttin' unusual about that, save maybe for the blue collared work shirt he was wearing along with the more usual running gear below the waist (I guess he didn't have a spare tie to wear to wipe the sweat from his forehead.)<br><br>
Just a side thought - would seem to me that wearing a shirt like on a run be a prime potential cause of some nipple chafage, but what do I know

Nice run, <b>Nettie!!!</b><br><br><b>Voo</b> - good to see you. That is a BEAUTIFUL trail to run on. I'm not a huge fan of snow, but that is gorgeous.<br><br>
I had an easy 4 last night. Poor night's sleep and no food beforehand meant that I was running out of gas. Mile 3 was s l o w, but I did fartleks through Mile 4 to perk me up and get through it. That was kinda fun!<br><br>
5 on tap tonight. Legs feel GOOD, and achilles is . . . there. not interfering with runs, so I just keep doing the rehab stuff, and I'll keep seeing the PT. Hopefully it will continue to improve, but man that is one slow healing sucker.

<b>Jen,</b> congrats on the 300-miler! I'm curious...do you do your runs in a group or do you cover all that mileage alone?<br><br><b>LL, Nettie</b>...nice speedwork! Nettie, I didn't know you ran sub-9 5K's - that's awesome!!<br><br>
Thanks for posting the pics <b>Voo</b>...that trail looks gorgeous.<br><br>
Congrats on cast removal, <b>Cus!</b> Now you just have to fight the urge to try and run on it just a little while longer...<br><br>
I've got a boring 5 tempo and 1800m pool drills for tonight. *yawn*<br><br>
Great workouts to everyone!

an old article that I just pulled out:<br><a href="http://outside.away.com/outside/bodywork/200309/200309_bodywork_1.html" target="_blank">http://outside.away.com/outside/body...odywork_1.html</a><br>
kind of the anti-Higdon approach, no?<br><br><b>Cus</b> - great to hear. I have never been in a cast and hope it stays that way. A sling is as close as I have been. That's close enough.
