      I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With a PR!!!!!!!!!!

        I was very sad when the Shamrocks picked a marathon on the day of the Bobby Bell, how rude of them.  I take great comfort in knowing that you guys will pick up the beer drinking slack for me.

         

        You didn't specify whether it was a running or drinking PR you were shooting for, make sure you have a driver if you're trying for a double.   Smile

        Cry havoc and let slip the dawgs of war!

        May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your SPF30, may the rains fall soft upon your sweat-wicking hat, and until you hit the finish line may The Flying Spaghetti Monster hold you in the hollow of His Noodly Appendage.

          I'm in if I don't end up running Hartford on Saturday. Rick, how is this course? I see that you ran 33 and change last year.

            Anyone who is anyone will be running the Bobby Bell.

             

            That's why Ed isn't running.  Smile

              Great!  See you there.

               

              I'm thinking of starting out at 6:30 pace if anyone (Rick?) interested in running the first 2-3 miles together.  I can probably hold that OK right now.

               

              Jason -  hilly.  You should be well prepared from the relay and Lake W runs.

                Anyone who is anyone will be running the Bobby Bell.

                 

                That's why Ed isn't running.  Smile

                 

                Have a good run you miserable bastid.   Smile

                  Was just told that I got free entry into Hartford Marathon on Saturday...depending on how I feel, I might do Bobby Bell on Sunday.

                   

                  Good Luck to all of those running on Sunday!!

                    I'd say that its a hilly 1st 3 miles and a doiwnhill last 2 miles.....I'm going to go out at 6:20 and try to hold that the 1st 3 and go balls to the wall for the last 2, but I'm not a good downhill runner so???????????

                      Rick you're too fast for me.  Maybe I'll run the 1st mile with you at 6:20, but that's all. 

                      See you got a nice 50 mpw streak going.  I need to work my way up to that.

                        I"m sick of getting slower! I went backwards all summer, so I bumped up the miles again. I think about a 6:25-30 1st mile. I did a little time trial monday and ran like 6:45 pace for 5 (no hills) so I don't know if I'm ready for 6:20????????? It's a little diferen't in a race though.........

                          Yeah it is different, you can get close but you can't simulate a race completely.  If it's a cool day I think 6:20 is a realistic goal for a race.  Run tall, race hard, finish strong.
