I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I've done 2 miles like that. With many other people at the same time. Don't expect a PR.

Unfortunately, it's pouring in Maine today and only about 45-50 degrees.

OK...to me this sounds like normal running weather. You wouldnt drag me to an indoor track for anything like that...especially not a basketball court.
My track club has its first summer workout tonight. Unfortunately, it's pouring in Maine today and only about 45-50 degrees. We always do a one mile time trial on the first day to give us a base point for pacing during the first month or so of workouts. The coach has said that he hopes to be able to run it outside, and if that isn't possible due to bad conditions, he would try to get us into the basketball gym to run it. I'm not sure how many laps would be a mile, but I'm guessing it must be quite a few. Has anyone ever run a mile like that? Tips/suggestions? I'm not thrilled about the weather, but I think I'd rather run it on the track and get a little cold. If everything was perfect, I was going to shoot for a 6:30, which would be near my PR, but considering the conditions, maybe I should lower my expectations.

Dana is a boy's name, too - I went to high school with a boy named that.
Oops! My bad then...! It's got to be the language thing; all English names sound alike to me... ;o) Sorry!!
Dana: So you're a 177lb 28 years old male with a female name (???) who can run somewhere around 6:30 for the mile which is actually not too bad... So assuming this is not a troll, here's what I think: 4) And finally, really, 50F? It was 24F this morning here (but then again, it's MN here...!). Granted, I'd hate to run when it's 20F and raining (most likely and hopefully, then it would be snowing...). Last Thursday, I had to walk 1:15 in the rain because I hurt my calf at the moment and can't run. The rain later turned to snow on Friday. It wasn't pouring but just a drizzle...but I hated it just the same! But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
