            marathon, (A) goal = run 7:00 pace, (B) goal = PR (<=3:13 =  7:22 pace), stretch (A+) goal = 3:00

            (C) goal sub 3:20, (D) goal finish

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

              Tom King 5k. Road PR.

                 Beer mile?  In the chicago area?  Where/when???

                  marathon, (A) goal = run 6:45 pace, (B) goal = PR (<=3:13 =  7:22 pace), stretch (A+) goal = 2:55

                   FIFY.  Even without a taper you should be able to pull off a 6:45 pace.

                    Just checked the forecast... rain, high of 39, and... Winds from the ENE at 20-30 mph. Yeah. WTF. This one may be a DNS.

                      3/10 Shamrock Shuffle 5k

                       

                      Positives:  Looks like nice weather, flat course, college kids running that didn't make it to their national meet can drag my fat ass along, unplanned mini-taper

                      Negatives:  Last week's training sucked (only one workout, no long run), took a digger on my run tonight, have been eating like a rock star (if that rock star is named Meatloaf), first race of the season

                       

                      Goal:  Sub 17:00, avoid a disaster

                      There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.

                        You've certianally covered your bases.

                           FIFY.  Even without a taper you should be able to pull off a 6:45 pace.

                           

                          I PR'd 16mi last autumn at 6:45 pace. Not sure that predicts I could hold it another ten miles. I never thought I'd consider a run at 7:00 pace for a whole marathon, but, looking at some of the guys who beat me at distance but with whom I can hang at mid-distance, and noticing they are trying for 6:53 or 7:00, makes me want to try. Monkey see, monkey envy, monkey want to do.

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

                            You've certainly covered your bases.

                             All my bases should belong to me.

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

                              With that 10k time you should be under 3, for sure. If you've done the training for the distance.
