    Happy with 1:30 on dry roads.  I'd be satisfied with goal MP (1:35)  if there's snow.

      5K trail race on the 16th. I never really know how to treat these on the race thread. Last year I won with 20:50. Three years ago I got a distant third with 18:57. I'll say goal=win.

       

      DNS -- Parks Service just canceled us, due to mud conditions.

      It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

        WTF? Shouldn't that make it more "fun"?

          A 5k trail race canceled due to "mud"?   A 5k??

           

          Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

          SELFISH, like you.

            I presume to protect the pahk from maurading runners and not the other way round.

                Roads were not completely clear.  There were plenty of good/dry sections, but there were also a lot of icy sections where there was no footing at all.  I didn't fall, but I observed a couple fantastic spills.

                 

                I ran 1:30:07

                    This suggests to me that a very good running year is in store for you. Nice work.

                    I put it under there.


                    Not in Chicago

                      wtf, you couldn't run 8 seconds faster?

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


                      Fast is better than long

                        This. But kudos nonetheless.

                        Set a man afire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.

                        What in the Jehu?

                          Failed on time (23:11, note to self, need to lose weight and get on the track), but got AG points anyway. Then went on an 11.5 mi trail run, so that's good for some HTFU points at least.

                            Success! 20:38. I think this may be the end of my newbie's PR-every-race-streak though, I ran really hard on this one and I can't imagine doing it any harder or faster.

                              Thanks Greg/Ilene! I had been racing a friend the entire run. I inched about 10-15 seconds ahead of him miles 10 and 11. I probably could have dropped the hammer at some point during the 12th mile, but I became more concerned about saving a little something in case he made a charge. The last thing I wanted to do was flame out and lose to a rival. Excuses... I know.
