    Good afternoon DAILIES!

     

    It is nice and warm here today (seems to be the common theme around here) and I am stuck inside doing homework (the joys of nursing school)...actually I was on spring break all last week (crappy weather) and put of doing all my homework and now that there is nice weather I am stuck inside.

     

    Good news from the doctor on Friday...I get to start the "return to running" aka very boring plan on Tuesday at physical therapy and he said I should bounce back pretty quickly from the stress fracture!  I'm very excited!

     

    Looks like everyone has had some pretty good runs today!  Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

      I have done 22 with no breaks, water, nor gels.  They were not my fastest, true, but you rocked that run!  Congrats!

       

      20 miles done. 2:37:25, 7:53 pace. No break, no water, don't do what I do, it's stupid... Time for a hot bath, light lunch and some major house cleaning. sigh...

       

      I'm still on page 2, but I see great runs and Oski off to a 5K.  Hoping to see the results when I get to page 3.

        12.5  this morning. Wanted 16-17 but had to cut it short due to stuff going on. I may double today with 4-5 slow ones later.

         

        Took yesterday off as my back was bugging me. I obviously tweaked it somehow on Friday. It felt fine this morning after it warmed up so I'm thinking the rest yesterday helped.

          21.2 for me.  We are at the movies so I'll try to get back on later.

            My LONGEST run yet. I finished 7 miles on the TM this afternoon at a nice slow easy pace.

              Rick, amazing thirteen miles.

               

              Shari, enjoy cycling and core work.

               

              Ric-G, I hope that your easy eight were pleasant.

               

              Dave, I'm glad that you were able to run 7.9 in beautiful weather.

               

              Lily, twenty miles with neither fuel nor water? You amaze me.

               

              Beth, fantastic fifteen miles I wouldn't call that run slow. Easy, but not slow.

               

              DaveP MI, sweet pace for the 12.13.

               

              alexis_run_nky, great news!

               

              Fuzzy, great running 12.5 early in the day.

               

              MarjorieAnn3137, I hope that, like you, I'll be able to make 20+ a regular part of my regimen this year.

               

              Weights and ab work are done. I'm off to make a small batch of tomato sauce to serve with dinner tonight.

               

              Please remind me why I left sunny, warmer, drier, beautiful Jerusalem to return to cold, damp Boston.

                I am impressed with all the posts and mileage you all run.  I had my best and longest run of the week covering 6.9 miles.  However I wish I had waited a couple of more hours as the sun finally came out and warmed up to 45 degrees. Oh well, spring is coming.

                    13.4 for me earlier today, probably a little quicker than they should have been.  It was so nice out though!  I'm making chicken fried steak, cheddar biscuits, and sausage gravy for supper.  Healthy stuff, right? Smile

                     

                    Nice running everyone!

                     

                    Sparker...Congrats on your longest run.  You're doing great!

                            SIAR, terrific 13.4. Your dinner sounds like a balance of protein, carbs, and fat.

                             

                            I'm wonder what to do about my half in May. I'm not using Jerusalem to calculate my training paces. Jerusalem is almost half a mile above sea level an very hilly; my half will be on a flat course in South Boston. My last race was a 5K this past Thanksgiving. Before that, I ran a miler in July.  My next race will be a five-miler in four weeks.

                             

                            Eh, guys? Suggestions? How should I calculate my training paces?

                              Well that was interesting.  LOL  First off, no one told me there was a big friggin hill in the middle of the race and second - 1 mile of the 5K was still covered in a foot of snow, so they shortened it to a 2.4 mile race.  Alrighty then.  And yeah, uh, someone went out too fast.  

                               

                              Small field - I was 13/35 overall, 5th woman, 1st in AG (but they only gave out awards to the overall winners).

                                Great job - it's not about the distance, it's about the dedication.  And you both clearly have it.  Smile
