Ok, I found the place, now what?Suppose I should introduce myself - I'm 42, female, about to run Honolulu marathon tomorrow and aiming for 2:50ish. Current PR is 2:54:54 set in July at Gold Coast. oh yeah, I live in Australia. Another RWOL refugee to add to the list!

There are a bunch... I mean A BUNCH of Australians checked into the hotel I'm at (the Aqua Wave). I'm assuming there was some sort of package deal.
Good luck tomorrow. I will be 30 minutes to 3 hours behind you, depending.

I ran a 5K this morning as a last minute decision fueled by perfect conditions and an incredibly fast certified course. Ended up winning by almost 2 minutes and setting a 13 second PR in the process. I'm pretty stoked with the result to say the least. Race report here: Military Superhero's 5K.
Good job Greg! Especially since you were by yourself, that takes toughness.
i'm here too. woo.
3/17/13 = rest.
Good luck to the Australian marathoners tomorrow(today?)
Running first marathon on 3/16/13...
Still working on the running log (only updated from 12/8/12 and on...)
Great job Greg, monstrous time!
Wow Rachel - you are doing this before the race? When is the pasta time?
Just heading to bed now after a day of carb-loading. We'll be getting up at 2:45am!!

Oh hey, SRL, I had no idea you were running Honolulu. I have no idea about package deals, but it's not too bad of a flight to Hawaii from the east coast of Australia, so it's a nice trip to tie in with a race.
Good luck tomorrow, if only I knew what you look like, I would look out for you at the finish.
I won't steal her thunder...let's just say Racherella got a monster time...

For the Honolulu Marathon, we had great conditions today. We usually do not. WOOHOO!
Hey, it's still 2012 -- this year's results should go in that thread. But congrats anyway, rachellara!

Awesome job Rachellara! Honolulu must be a nice place to spend after a marathon!
I have a training question for those of you with more marathon experience.
I've been building mileage all year, and have been doing 50+ mpw for the last few months. I'm planning to do a marathon in early May, and will start a training program on Jan 1 (Pfitz 18.70).
I'm reading the Pfitz book and he talks about macrocycles...is this something I need to be concerned with? Specifically, should I plan to cycle down for a couple weeks at the end of this month?
The paradox is I have a lot of vacation time to burn and was looking forward to running without the stress of work/travel for a couple weeks. (Hit some long trails, etc).
Fwiw, no injuries, I feel good, and I don't feel burned out at all. I'm sure I'd enjoy fresher legs, but c'mon, thats not how to get to sub 3, is it? Thoughts on whether I should I consider a short layoff / downcycle?
