Dave--show off.........

I had a FANTABULOUS run this morning!!! Group run. I started out just ahead of the 9:00pace group. Dropped them at the 3m water stop. I stopped at the 5.5m water and did a Gu and water. I love chocolate, but chocolate Gu just doesn't do it for me. {{Where's the puking smace???}} Passed our start, then out to "Jeff's green trash can" (eyates knows where that is!) and back. Had to circle the parking lot a bit to finish it out.

10.00m (exact), 1:27:00 (exact), 8:42pace

This was ALL in HR zone 2. MP is 8:45. What the heck did I do?!

This afternoon I'll do an ice cream ride with sons 2 and 3 in just a bit. We're doing an organized ride the weekend after Labor Day. These guys haven't done any riding all summer...

good afternoon all,

Dave -- great job on the 20 miler.. I'm also glad you were able to 'sleep in' until 4am.. you so crazy

4boys -- nice work on the 10 miler... sounds like you're getting in pretty kick a$$ shape.. any marathons coming up in the fall for you?

I had a nice easy 30 mile bike ride today with the girlfriend.. just had fun with it, although the wind was so strong it was almost blowing me off my bike.. tomorrow will be a long run hopefully around 10 miles. have a great saturday all,

Jim

Yep, and it took me six miles, six strides, and stretching to notice. Ok, from now on I put all my stuff out at night. I'm a silly boy!

You really are what you eat, and that's why my run today was ****. Other than the standard bowl of Wheaties this morning and a glass of OJ, I have eaten nothing but **** in the last 24 hours. Too much to drink at a work party last night, a late-night trip to Burger King afterward. Lunch today was a hot dog, Fritos and a Coke.
It's probably worse than putting sugar in your gas tank.
Five miles, slow, with three walk breaks as my racing heart asked me what the **** I was doing.
A waste of a glorious day.
Try again tomorrow.

Good runs, all

24 miles today, last 45 minutes were really difficult
to barrel through.

24 miles, 3:09:29, 7:54 pace

More later. Shower and eat now.

First Marathon -
Omaha Marathon 09/23/07 -- Boston Marathon (Hopefully) 04/2008

Amazing long runs out there guys...I had my distance PR this morning on my 14 miler. 7:46 pace, legs getting tight behind the knees around 8-9 and then middle of my back got really tight, felt like it needed to be cracked for the last 5 miles or so. Legs still tired...tomorrow is a COMPLETE rest day, I had 41.4 miles this week which is a lot, but even more considering a lot of it was faster running...I think I may cut back a little next week, at least a few miles, I'll talk to Coach about it tonight.

Oh my goodness, I almost forgot that it's actually been chilly today, but in the morning it was 60s...perfect weather! Ever since we finished it's been drizzling thugh and in the mid-50s.

Ahh the green trash can. i know it well. 12 miles for me this morning. 7:40 pace with a couple at 7:00 to finish it up. Next week is the first 20 miler. I hope to finish strong with 5 at marathon pace (7:15).
