DNF, exasperating. Off to digest lessons learned.

Another full in Dec...

Sorry, JCup. Glad you are coming back in December to use your training.

Track workout today! 8x400m repeats, with 200m rest.

[caito]

21 miles.  Felt strong, that was a good confidence builder.


I'm sorry, JCup.

Nice. I miss marathon training.  I think I'll target one or the spring. 

I'm sorry, JCup.

5K race this morning -- I wanted to slip under 28:00, but it was way too windy and I just missed with 28:09.  My percentage place in the field was my highest this year; finishing ahead of 42% of the runners (519 finishers).  I was also second in my age group.  My next race is in two weeks on a much faster course and another opportunity to break 28:00.

3 hour hike with DH on the AT.  It is such rough terrain.  VP of T will have her work cut out next year.

  Sorry, brother...heal up!

Half Mary...5 minutes off of last year...tough course.... 1:47.08

I wanted a 1:45, but alas...I'll make up for it at the Tallahassee Marathon...

[Fast Eddie]

Trying the roads again with my hams.  Not bad for a few K before this started to tighten up.  6K in total.

[Ice Cream]

yes.

That's a great attitude!

26.2 today. Ran a bunch of miles with a girl who's a college freshman--has previously run Grandfather Mtn and was looking to PR, so she asked me to pace her. She ran with me to around mile 22, but then the run-walk thing she wanted to do was harder on my old bones than just keeping on chugging along consistently.  Found her again at the finish, and she accomplished her PR!

Had a great time, though. I went into this race with the same philosophy as watching kids movies with my 4-y.o.: go in with no expectations/limited expectations and you won't be disappointed. I started the race just wanting to git 'r' done, since I hadn't done a marathon since 2009; in the end I had a great time enjoying other runners' company and helping a girl with a lot of promise reach her goal.

Went to the track for a half marathon time trial. I am getting tired of hilly courses ruining my chances for sub 1:50.

During the 5th mile my right hammy and quad started to flair up in the same spots that locked up in last weekend's hilly half. Apparently I wasn't fully recovered. I decided to shut it down and save myself instead of risking injury. 5 miles at 8:20 pace.

Good miles everybody.

Congrats on the races and runs.


Going out to do 5.

Edit...just did 5.

Interesting post.  Congratulations on finishing.  I gallowalked two marathons and found them very easy and forgiving on the body...  Gallowalk is going to be my marathon mode from now on.

Ah, that sucks.
Head up, move on.
Kick the December race's ass.

10 for me.
Just ok. Really windy out, and I didn't care for it.

Up in MA at a Halloween themed fun run 5K. Ran well, wore lots of silly neon. Course was a bit long, 3.3 miles.
