Is Scovil injured or just stopped posting his runs?
I have e-mailed him a time or 2 and all I hear is silence
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
Dear Mr Jeff
I know you put a lot of time and effort into making every blog entry a workout of "Quality", but those of us who like to read it would not mind a few "Junk" entries inbetween quality workouts. More volume please!
Why is it sideways?

Ha. I know I am due another entry. I will try. It is hard to keep up the volume and get in stupid arguments on message boards at the same time.

WOW. Leave out a few relevant details there to make yourself look good there, didn't you? Like the part where I was on pace for 2:32-2:35 up until I pulled a hip flexor with 10 miles to go? You're right, the proof is in the pudding. Your marathon is incredibly soft given your performances over shorter distances. You ran what, 15:49 in May/June and could only muster a 2:38 by fall? McMillan would give around 2:33-4 which, even if optimistic, you had all summer to build towards. Looks like backwards progress to me, especially given your volume. You have a low-15 5K PR and have never mustered better than a 2:38.

Hey douche....listen up. First off, you were on pace for SHIT from the start of your race. 10 out of 10 days you run slower than 2:40 if you go out at the pace you did. You weren't in shape to run close to 2:32. Period. End of story. I know a bit about dumb racing. That sir was dumb. You should have known better.
Also, if you'd get Mr. McMillan's balls out of your mouth you'd realize Jeff ran a 2:35 and not a 2:38. Pretty darn close to that 2:33-34 range. Not to mention his 15:49 was on a track, and NOT roads.
Finally, go fuck yourself...the whole lot of ya. Fuck running, it's stupid.

I like the way he called him "Mr. McMillan". Such civility is lost in today's world.

Ah, Thunder. He's just pissed because I'm about to pass him in mileage YTD.

I know a bit about dumb racing.
I can vouch for that.
Runners run
No it's dead. I'm not a runner anymore anyway. I just happened across this website today by happenstance.
No it's dead.
YOUGOTTHATRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Thunder!!
Feeling the growl again

Your analysis of a race you never witnessed by someone whose training you had elementary exposure to is about as meaningless as Jeff's trying to compare the two based on a biased selection of data points (but not quite). I've flipped much harder odds that that race.
But it's nice to see you back here jackwagon, you were missed. I almost took you out of my sig line. Hope all is settling in well out east.
MTA: Your reference to McMillan is hilarious dude. With all your hero worshipping of me and all you should know the irony in that comment.

Thoughts on what a 1:22:00 half could translate into? (assuming some sort of decent training)
In my experience over the last 12 months:
Nov 2009 trained for and ran 1:21:5x and followed it up with a 2:54:5x in April 2010. Got good racing conditions for both of these races.
Are we there yet?
Man, THUNDER.. if you stopped running.. at least stop by and throw down once in a while.. way to ignite the pulse on this thread.
As for 1:22:33 on the HM = 2:56:30 for me last year @ Baton Rouge.
