Nothing for me, I'm about to treat DS to a trip to the library, lunch out, then home to watch movies, because he is certifiable as a bad-ass runner now (see Cold Weather Wimps thread). I'd like to go swim or bike, but this kid sucked it up and ran in miserable conditions this morning, and he deserves some fun now.
You should give him a thousand dollars.

HELLO. Busy day for me so far! I got the gym early for a strength workout, then bought the weekly groceries, then went for my run.
My run was supposed to be 80 minutes easy with strides. I ran it at more of a medium effort though. Coach says that is fine if I feel up to it. So, 80 minutes, 10.5 miles, 7:38 avg pace. Hot damn. And I finally clocked a 50 mile week this year. BOUT DAMN TIME. Next week will push 60. Ahhh, how sweet it is.

Six mies at a medium effort pace this morning. Then WW and the scale: down 4.6 lbs. Now to lay on my butt until dinner time.

Had my first one of those for the year on tap this week. Alas, 'twas not meant to be.

Try running an average of 25 mpw for three months and then jumping to 50 mpw without any gradual building.
13 miles, 8:07 pace. Now a nice hot bath.

18 marathons, 18 BQs since 2010
17.5 miles in sub 0 temp, with some light snow falling. This is my longest run ever (by about 0.2 miles). About 70 degrees F difference between today and that previous long run PR.

LRB, I know..... but I hate them right now, I still wasn't feeling 100% and told myself not to "try" and push myself... but I did anyways though not really hard hard. My nose was running faster than me, and I get better PR's when I rest the day before, and don't do warm up runs but my legs and body did great nonetheless According to my garmin, last year's finish was 2 seconds faster.
We went to Cracker Barrel afterwards, but I became a little sick to my stomach and could only really eat their Apple & Cinnamon Oatmeal instead of my Apple Cider BBQ Chicken Breast. I am going to nap now.

Impressive! You are building yourself a very nice base before you start your marathon training. Great job!
Eric- Nice run! Congrats!
LRB- The new team is great, but not as much fun without you around. Hope you're enjoying your new team this year.

Good stuff there. When does marathon training start?
7 miles with 8x100 unenthusiastic strides for me. I have a big drum gig tonight, some Valentine's Dance for 450-500 people, and an 18 miler tomorrow morning.
Oh, hell no.
I managed 6 miles then called it a day. I planned on an interval workout but realized after about 12 steps that wasn't happening. lol

That's a big ass crowd Jack, I didn't know you were an A-lister in the music scene.
From the Internet.
11 miles on the treadmill with 2 10-12 minute tempo-ish interval type things in the second half. Riddle me this, why am I so much slower on the treadmill than outside?
