Hi guys! I was MIA because I took some time off post-marathon (ran twice in two weeks) but I need to get back on the saddle so here I am. I ran 5 amazingly excellent miles last night. My fastest run in months. I did my hilly route and I ran it too fast but I don't care. Yes - Jess and I met Matt on Sunday. He put his arm around me for the picture. I almost died. I'm disappointed that he didn't propose marriage to me right then, but I guess he wants to take it slow.

No wonder I asked if he was your husband. Must have been those vibes you were shooting: "propose marriage!"

outoftheblue, good luck!
zOMG I just realized I should be going mad right about now. Mods please don't ban me if I start a thread titled, "Help training for a marathon in less than 3 weeks - NEED ADVICE NOW"

A beautiful, sunny lunch run.
Do you even run?
Awesome 3 miles girl, next year with my 5th day being added I might use it during lunch for a 2-3 miler with Dorian..... maybe.
Good morning!
Are you planning a 1:50 time this weekend? I am pacing that group...if I am able to stand upright that is. There is not a 1:55 pace group (I think you may have mentioned that), it goes 1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:10, 2:20, 2:30 and 2:45.
Blue, you always make the correct decisions where race strategy is concerned.
Zel, I fully expect that and if that's all it is, I would be fine with it.
Ric, there are a ton of fuel choices out there. Try not to get fat while trying them all!
April, hi!
Run to live; live to run
10.6. I'm at the airport now to go to ATL for work.

If I see you standing at the start, I'll say what up. But no.. this is not my goal race (detroit) and with those hills 1:50 would be pretty ridiculous. Anything sub 2 and I'd be content, although 1:55 would be great. I ran lansing in the spring 1:54 (flat course). Good luck pacing man. Are you concerned with the course profile with regards to your pacing duties?
I did the practice run out there ten days ago. If you resist the urge to race the first 5 miles, you will get it all back the last 2 miles.
Damn, me too. I was in rough shape that day as it capped a PB in weekly miles (56). Problem is, I'll never run that course properly rested and it's not worth it anyway. Too up and down for a PR unless your previous PR is SUPER soft.
Yeah I ran it easy with a sore back, but contrary to what many think, you can negative split that course. It would never be a PR course for anyone, but if you pace it right, you can finish strong. Depending on where you are in your training, a 1:55 is not an impossibility, as you are probably in sub-1:50 flat course shape by now.
105F and 77DP at 3:40pm. But who's looking at the weather?
