Candice - I know you mean what you said, and of course I immediately started re-re-re-thinking myself. Maybe I could do 3:20. And maybe, if I can channel the hippie in me and run by feel, maybe I will get there accidentally (the weather should be perfect).

Yea, I do... mostly because although I didn't logstalk you as well as I could have, I perused a little bit and (compared to my Boston training) our volume was close-ish. Our long run paces, similar. I think I did more quality... but Chicago is a faster course and stuff. I dunno, I think you could do it. Close anyway.
How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?

Plus there's the whole not wanting to get punched in the face by my wife thing.
For the record I also don't want to get punched in the face by L Train's wife.

Just a moment of calmness for you all amidst all the tweaking:

Me either. But I like her already....since she apparently punches people in the face.
New chapter forthcoming
I have no marathons coming up. So I'm not tweaking.
Strings, I think you should pace yourself a 3:30 pace for the first 1/2...(I think 3:20 is out of your range right now personally), then take a good mental inventory of how you're feeling...if you feel good, drop the pace 5-10 seconds per mile from 13-18. That give you a good 5 mile stretch to really see how the faster pace feels. If you still feel good and have something in the tank, then you just tell yourself it's an 8 mile race from here in...and you lay down the pain with whatever you've got left. (Just my .02)
Mikey- Bless your heart or something. I'm sure you'll qualify for Boston if you have a good solid race.
MTA: Thanks for Calendar, where can a guy pick one of those up?
Time for the relaunch. Stay tuned....
And yet here we find ourselves once again. We wring our hands like worried farmers gazing over dry fields. We chart the correlation between race times and weekly mileage, looking for some hidden truth. Believing perhaps that if we worry hard enough over it, God will have mercy, the drought will end, and the big heavy drops will start to fall.
Was it all a dream?
I'm in the business of misery...
In Indy on November 7, it will be 87 degrees, humid and sunny and you will be lucky to come in under 4 hours. Cuz that is just how these things work. Criminy. Go to hell.

Criminy.
Don't you even think about bringing that kind of shit up here. Holy hell. I've got a month before I'm supposed to tweak and you threaten this. You are one saddistic SOB.
Funny how the time goal suddenly starts dropping in the final weeks leading up to race day. I always fall into that trap.
So what you're saying is 2:22 right?!?!?!
YOURE DOIN GRATE!!!! YOU GOT DIS!!! ROLL DAT SHIT MUTHAFUNKER!!!
MTA: Sorry, that was uncalled for.
We've Got Big Hills
You signed up for the wrong race next weekend.
One d.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

That may be what the clock says at mile 25. Of course it may also say 3:22. We shall see.
Hey, nice marmot!
Of all the posts on this thread, Ilene's was the only one that made any goddamn sense.
On a related note, I've had "Don't Stop Believin" stuck in my head all day.
Heh. My fury over your threat to bring heat and humidity caused my fingers to stutter on the keyboard or something like that. Call it my warm-up taper madness. You can't perform your best without a little warm-up.
Freaky taper Friday should be a blast around here.
meh
It really does not matter how well you have trained, how successfully you have raced or how much you have impressed internet yahoos. In Indy on November 7, it will be 87 degrees, humid and sunny and you will be lucky to come in under 4 hours. Cuz that is just how these things work. Criminy. Go to hell.

Wrong Indy marathon.
