Hi all!

Great efforts out there today folks! Keep up the awesome work!

Alex - Good luck/hope you had a good meet!

ellenshana - When is the 5 miler in Nahant? I am thinking about Bay State on October 14th if my poor legs recover well from the Equinox on September 15th. I'm also considering doing my hometown HM on September 30th as a supported long training run (ie, I don't plan to run it as a race...too soon after the Equinox and too close to Bay State).

Everyone - Awesome job today!

As for me:

Let me see if I can dig up last year's race reports.

EQ, if I remember correctly, the year before last, you ran a marathon and then a week later ran another shorter race.

Yeah, but you'll be here in April.

Let me check with the ouija board and get back to you in tomorrow's thread.

Oh no wait! There's a magic 8 ball here at the bottom of the toy box, where I found my car keys last night after several hours...Magic 8 Ball says

****, I can't see, where are my glasses?

oh wait, I can see it now


it says

Tonya's training is hot stuff. Tell her to remember to respect the distance, and when she gets to 20 miles, not to cry, but to get that determined look on her face, and punch out the last 6.2 miles, picking people off as she goes. Boston is waiting for her.

Oh and "Try Again Tomorrow."

Hopefully that Magic 8 Ball isn't broken, Ellen, and thank you
for the encouragement and advice. I'll check back here again
tomorrow. I wonder if the future will still look as bright?

Hey, what about us West Coasters? Thought you wanted to be in Seattle

By the way, the magic 8 Ball and Ouija board work differently when the ocean is on the other side!
