So far hills have been on just about every run that I have done.... especially when I am on trails... last sunday one of the hills was 2 1/2 miles long.. (I have to say I was pretty tired towards the end of that hill...) so I dont think hills will be a problem... I just want to make sure I have my bases covered.

however with that being said... hills in the first mile or two seem to kill me... but not in later miles.... Make any sense?

I will be at a base of 25 this week for the second straight week... I am not going to be doing a marathon this spring... but hoping to do the Medtronics Marthon in Minneapolis Oct of 08...

I have been reading alot of race reports of people who ran their first.... No one seemed to finish at their goal time most cramped up around mile 18 . So I am trying to figure out what my base should be for next fall... I was thinking probably around 35-40 mpw but maybe I should be strong near the 40 mark... (obviously if my body is willing and able)

P.S. I took some inspiration from your training schedule... I went from 3 days to 5 days this week... and actually my legs are much more appreciative of this... however a few have been on treadmill just for the benefit of my legs. Plus I am hoping those are free miles on my shoes.. as I only seem to wear out the cusion never the shoe.

Re: Monday Morning Check in week ending 11-25

Ok.. on the bandaids or athletic tape... do you actually shave part of the hair off around your nipple region... or just scream loudly as you pull the tape off....

what about compresion shirts... any feed back on those for this?

My thoughts are I will have to scream loudly... rather than have my wife giggle and point wondering what the heck.

Re: First Time 5K racer & Keeping pace

Good Luck and Run Strong!!!!

J/K

Try alot of different foods the night before and do early morning runs with coffee without coffee... with food with out food what foods make ya have to Sh!t which ones dont the next day etc.... water do you need it in your day before or the morning right before?

I personally have found that the night before does not matter so much as long as I am some what sensible.... but in the morning a small bagel with some peanut butter and honey a hard boiled egg and 2-3 cups of coffee is perfect for a good morning run... plus wake up an hour before I have to leave so I can clear my bowels...

as far as pace goes I run with a garmin now... but before I always drove and looked for mile markers for potential run routes and the just ran with a normal wrist watch on the stop watch function and calculated by that... so get off the tread mill once a week or atleast every other week and see what happens run slow at first as the harder surface will burn you most likely!!!

Not sure how far you are from Afton Alps area - But they have a decent 25 / 50k in the spring - 25k would be a nice "Get your feet wet" race.

will have to look into that one...the 25k that is..

your right I am blessed with trails and hills.... Part of my 11.5 the other day included bliss road up to Grand dads bluff after running 7 miles in Hixon forest.... ( i know you will be able to appreciate that)
