Nice progression run, Cash. Did you go to sleep after I woke up this morning? (I woke up at 3:30 ET) I thought only Erika did that. 12.1 miles, 1:45:22, 8:43/mi, AHR 144 -- this was progression, too, but I'm too lazy to transcribe the paces. I started at about 9:20/mi and finished at about 8:10.

Looks like its a good day for progression runs. P2R, I was going to let that one go From out in the main racing forum, there is this great link: http://mysite.verizon.net/jim2wr/id202.html Turns out that men actually BQ at a higher percentage than women at almost every age. This should put to rest at least some of the whining about the BQ standards being too easy for women.

WRFB - you are a running fool!!!

Right on both counts

I've been thinking, I take this crap way to seriously. I'm resting my 122.5 heavy weight body this week and hauling it to St. Paul tomorrow. I'm going to run my heart out and have fun doing it, because if it stops being fun I need to find a different hobby. If anyone wants to call me a slow-poke or think I am not a hard worker because of whatever time I log, these people are not my friend. I'll be running with Nobby and will come back with pictures, assuming I don't freeze in the race. The temps forecasted are 0F, real feel -10F, seasonal. It will be more interesting what the course conditions like as everything is thawing today and temps take a dip tomorrow.

THANK GOODNESS!!!! THERE YOU ARE!!!!!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU!!!!!! WOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOO Bugs is BACK!!!

I realized that last week - not about you, but about me. I've really enjoyed the last handful of runs since then, including the 4.2 miles I just put in. Have fun this weekend. Can't wait for the pictures.

Bugs, when it stops being fun, it is time to change hobbies. Not that every run is fun, and there are times we don't question what the hell it is we're doing to ourselves or our family... but the feeling of being strong and fit, whether you're fast or not, is what really counts. The sense of accomplishment. The knowledge that in the long haul you're doing what's right for you. That's what it's all about. And anyone who'd get up and drive that far to race in those conditions, hats off to ya, girl! I'll run in some pretty beastly conditions, but I don't race in it! (we have winter races around here, I just look the other way...) Yes, Lou and I sometimes say Good Morning/Good Night in the same post on another site!
