The Swampers Take Philly (2012) (Read 1243 times)

    Is Boston 2013 going to be all full come 11/18?

     Yes. 

     

    I'm flying..well...driving..solo. And staying at the Sheraton City Center. 

     

    And yes, reality for me is BQ for 2014 with a 3:20 or so.  Maybe if training goes better than I expect I will adjust.

     

     +1. BQ just dropped to 3:25 but figure I need a few minutes to actually get in. 

     

      I need to find the cheapest, closest hotel.  Ideas?

       

      MTA: I found this

        And yes, reality for me is BQ for 2014 with a 3:20 or so. 

         

        No. Just... no. Unacceptable. No.

        I put it under there.

            Good. We're on the same page.

             I like running alone.

              Good. We're on the same page.

               Well, la dee dah.

                Where's that?

                 I like running alone.

                  No. Just... no. Unacceptable. No.

                   IK, R?

                   

                    Where's that?

                      90 miles this week for Train.

                        90 miles this week for Train.  

                         

                        That makes it sound better than it was.  

                         

                        Exactly 3 of the 90 were run at your ho-hum long run pace.

                         

                        OTOH, 5 miles today.  Fucking life.   

                        You suck. You should just quit. Jackass. Welcome back.

                          Nobody can run 90 miles in one week.

                            Cory's prolly gonna run 90 miles this week, then run a marathon.

                             

                            Plus I have it in writing that if I agree to "race" Philly he will sign up. 

                             

                            Yep.

                            You suck. You should just quit. Jackass. Welcome back.

                              Thinking out loud.

                               

                              I think I'm going to run the Baystate HM on 10/21. the following week is my last 20 miler. Weekend after that Pfitz plan calls for a race on Saturday and 17 miles on Sunday two weeks before the marathon. Taper down from there.

                               

                              I don't know. I did that before Sugarloaf. 2 weeks before I ran a 5K (8 miles total with up/down), then the next day ran an easy 11.5 as a warm-up, then raced a 4.4 mile race hard. Broke 20 for the first time in the 5K and got my first AG placement on the Sunday race. But I think that was too much 2 weeks before the marathon. So I'm thinking that Baystate will be my final race tune-up. Goes against "the plan" but I think I peaked 2 weeks prior to Sugarloaf. It's hard to explain but I just didn't feel great the week leading up to Sugarloaf and didn't feel great on race day. As a masters  runner, I think the hard work 2 weeks before is too much. 

                               

                                George, do you think it was the race that did it, or the whole weekend? I know The Pfitz Weekend is a race, then long on tored legs. But you raced hard after the 11.5. Could that have been part if it?
