What a huge disappointment! The forcast went from 6-10" to 4-6" and now maybe 2" at the most. I was hoping for just one more good snow. even came home early from a trip to Chicago to get ahead of all the snow.

Nonetheless I did 3.25 on the mill at home.........we got ice instead of the snow, so didn't feel like slipping around outside.

im really hoping to get back to a regular routine with a running schedule this week. Hope to get back to 20+ weeks again soon.

Hi Dailies.

 

 

Good news: The house is still standing and we are back in a day early. Better yet, the power is on! None of the neighbor's houses were damaged and there is only a bit of mud, sticks and other debris in the street. Better still, I just ran six miles in a nice cool mist. Hopefully things will get back to normal.

Great news, Jack!

I'd want to go to the Oktoberfest at least for one day. For the food and also to see how Germans behave when they're drunk. I bet it's funny.

Wonder if it's anything like Newfie's? LOL I'm used to that.

We will probably be in that area anyway checking out the museums/churches etc. We are visiting Dachau and

Nueschwanstein Castle (aka Ludwig's castle) on day trips so will fit in the city sights around all of that.

They are respectful but funny while drinking.  I had the time of my life there.  The fairgrounds are well organized and very safe.  I saw two guys getting a bit angry at each other and in 3 seconds a van full of cops appeared and peace reign.

Morning!  You guys do a nice job of reminding me how lucky I am to be running in the rain with temps in the 40s.  12.6 or so on tap for today.

 

OOTB- We continue the training/racing parallels I think.  I was also 2/20 in my AG yesterday.  Congrats on your placement- that's a lot tougher in a hilly 10K!  I was thinking about this last night.  Both of us have ended up with sort of flat tune-up runs with heavy feeling legs.  But both of us also had more than we thought and our final mile was the fastest.  Hopefully that means that the fitness is there, especially for the HM distance, and since the weekly mileage drops pretty significantly, we'll both just be able to coast on into peak form for our goal races.

 

Tom- Soreness means you're getting a good workout.

 

Basya- Hope you catch a break in the weather tomorrow.

 

Jay- Congrats on your race as well!

Zelanie -- Can you be a long lost twin sister?  Nah,  you are a lot faster than I am.  But it is eerie how parallel our training cycles have been.  Hopefully it is a happy ending for both of us for our HMs.    Mine is just 3 weeks out now.

I'm already starting to feel better just with the mileage dropping back to 44/week.  I went to the track today and did my 4X1600 intervals at 8:46; 8:45; 8:44 and 8:37 with .25 mile recovery jogs in between.   It was raining and really windy out there, but after reading the Snow Dailes, I have no cause to complain.

Re: Germans drunk.... our favorites were a group of guys all holding to each other and wrapped around a light pole to try to keep from falling off the world.

Basya I dud a sage green. It is called Irish paddock
