Morning Fred and the rest of ya'll.  10 miles of hills this morning.  8:52 first mile and 6:22 last.   Temps low 60's this morning and before sunup.  7 tomorrow ez and 13 Saturday will get me to race week.

Go Ribs!!

Still easing back into things, doing an easy 4-miler this morning: the first time I've run on consecutive days this year. It felt good, and reminded me that I usually do better if I run every day vs. skipping days. I feel almost ready to enter another event, but will probably wait a few more weeks for that (schedule's kinda full anyway for the next few weekends).

Also, since retiring I've been running more like mid-morning (OK, 8AM is "mid-morning" as far as I'm concerned). I found myself already getting nostalgic for those pre-sunrise runs at this time of year, so put on my headlamp and did today's run before 7AM when it was just starting to get light. I always did like running or riding in the dark!

Thanks Fred. Average is high 60's for past 7 weeks with range of  61-73. YTD avg is 57.5. Not all that much for marathoning but pretty good for this old man. Btw, I have started to incorporate more fast finish on long runs, per your suggestion. Still not enough but better than before.

Fred - that's a pretty high number on the heart rate for you.  Normal for us mortals however.  Care to divulge your mile progression splits?

2.2 mostly slow jog, as I brought my dog with me and she can't run very far.

I see they have made another senseless change to the interface, so now you reply to the person who posted last, as opposed to the option of posting to the general thread.   The things these people get up to huh?    Spareribs

Fred sure is tight lipped about his times.   Fred, how can you be a target if I don't know what to shoot for?      

12.25 miles this morning in the hills @ 7:50 pace.  Was suppose to do 13 but we stopped and watch the high school XC meet.   I don't think .75 miles will help me at this point.  

Go Ribs.

Yellowknife???  Bin there!  Run there too!!

It's been a cool weekend here in central BC.  I managed 6k in 45 min on Friday.  Same on Sat.  Today I pushed it and did 8k in 51 min, with the first 4 in 27 min.  Then I grabbed my camera to take some pics of the rising sun on fresh snow on the mountains.  Marvellous!

DD reported in yesterday.  She says the sprint girls are definitely short of aerobic conditioning.  They can only stay ahead of her for one hill, then her conditioning enables her to catch them and pass them.  She also says she feels her form improving from all the short fast sprints.  It will be interesting to see how fast she can run next weekend in the annual 5k race.
