Forums >Racing>3:20 Thrusts into RunningAhead in 2012
FB - Good luck. I hope you brought a life jacket just in case...
Nick - what happens the 23rd? Some pfitz program kicks off?
I had an eye-opening reality check today as well, running 9 miles that proved to be a lot of work. A combination of sickness and injury meant I hadn't run two consecutive days in over a month. Starting to build up now. Today wasn't pretty, but I got through it and for the third run in a row, no word from the injury, so it's all good.
Until today, it's been like a taper almost: I kept running too fast, because I was doing such ridiculously low mileage (don't want to talk about it). No problem keeping the pace down today, to put it mildly.

So FB is going for it, right?
Still dealing with arch pain. At 25 miles for the week. May try for a few more tonight. Have gained almost 20 pounds since MCM. That's some skills right there.

So....hi. I'm originally from RWOL, lurking in 3:20 in RWOL, but hanging out actively with the cool cats in 3:30. I didn't (still don't) have a problem there, but it turns out I've been keeping a running log here from a while back, so I've updated it. I'm 45, ran 3:21 a couple months ago and have had a hell of a time getting back into the swing of things (bronchitis followed by calf problems). But it looks like it's getting better now. I ran 7 miles @8:30 and felt great. Finally! OMR - +1 on 'gifted'. Oh, and also on the PR. I can't get it under 20 for love nor money.

Hi from another RWOL refugee. Like runbo I also lurk in 3:20 from time to time. No where in 3:20 shape...yet, but we'll see what 2013 brings. Just ran Harrisburg with a sub3:30 goal, but blisters did me in around Mile 17, but still PR'd with a 3:47. PR is a PR, but know I got something better in me. I'm a regular with the other kool kats too in 3:30. Like that group a lot, but not RWOL forums so much right now. Like RA forums a lot. So much got roped into maintaining the sub1:30 HM thread. You guys seem like a fun bunch here, so I'll stick around.

Welcome to runbo and jedi/billy (I get confused by the user names above the photos and the captions below!). Good to hear the injury didn't rear its ugly head today, runbo.
NickS: I'm assuming the 23rd is the beginning of your Btown cycle?
RDR: Thanks for the heads up on how not to get booted!
FB, hope the monsoon and the "green gunk" are not preventing you from getting it done at CIM.
Fonz: YES, I CAN HEAR YOU!! (Oh...was I shouting just now??)
Jim: Hi, and thanks for the updates (or attempted updates) on FB.
McBen: Sorry about the arch pain.
Yesterday was the 30th day of my running streak (longest previous streak was about 8). Debating whether or not I should take today off, or get out there for at least a few recovery miles while the temps are once again in the 40s (ridiculously warm for us). This can't last much longer, although with geese flying north over our heads yesterday, maybe spring is already here???
Looks like he is. The leaderboard is working, and the leader went through 5.9 miles at 5:03 pace by my calculations, so maybe the headwind is not too bad.
WTG, FB!!
Very impressive, and I don't even mean just under those weather conditions. Hope the wind hasn't taken too much out of him.
ADDED: 3:03....Amazing. Jim, you know him, is that a PR?
