          Hey lol.  I ran 20.35 miles this morning and felt great.  I got faster as the run progressed.  Averaged a 7:14 pace.  Let's goooooo!!!

            11 miles with RP. Ran through a triathlon bike portion. Although swimming in the bay in Feb seems early, even for here. So maybe duathlon?

             

            Sun is shining and no rain in the 7 day forecast. We survived!

                Raced (?) the paczki 5k today and have now eaten three. One for each mile raced. Hopefully I don't eat 5.

                  18 miles with the group. Beautiful day for it, upper 30s and actually clear and sunny. Incidentally I was wearing the shirt from my first marathon, Grand Rapids 2012. It feels like a very, very long time ago.

                    That is an impressive accomplishment! No way I could eat more than one of those things.

                      For some reason, donuts do not fill me up.

                        I (barely) got a new PR at 10 miles today, going sub-90 for the first time with a 1:29:33.  I really didn't know what to expect today with all the stuff I've been dealing with and a course that had a hill so steep I walked up part of it and had to put on the brakes running down it because I didn't feel safe just letting myself go.  The winner ran a 56:36.49 - I wonder how fast he went down the hill?

                        5k 23:48.45 (3/22); 4M 31:26 (2/22); 5M 38:55 (11/23); 10k 49:24 (10/22); 
                        10M 1:29:33 (2/24); Half 1:48:32 (10/22); Marathon 4:29:58 (11/23)

                        Upcoming races: Running is Back 10k, 5/12; Greta's Run 5k, 5/19

                          That is a dangerous quality to have!

                              I could easily eat a bunch of donuts.

                               

                              Baboon, nice run!

                               

                              Fred, congrats on the new PR! I remeber watching one of the leaders of a HM (while he was lapping me) go flying down a hill at a trail race. Meanwhile I was slowly and very deliberately getting down the hill.

                                So a funny little thing happened on my run.  A guy running the opposite direction as me on the rail trail was wearing a 2024 Boston Marathon jacket.  As he passed and I spotted the jacket, I said loudly "Woo hoo, 9 more weeks!"  He gave me a thumbs up and said "Thanks, you too!"  lmao I figured he had earbuds in.
