Oh, Corrina, I feel you! I had my first 20 mile week last week, and was happily looking forward to more, but SuperMom-duty calls; I have to be away all weekend at a tournament for the dd's vb. Her team will have an hour here and there where they aren't playing, (so I don't have to be watching ) and I'm going to try to get a run in then, but honestly, between not knowing the area, short time, and sitting around a cold gym in my sweaty clothes, it doesn't look like I'm going to get many miles in. I'm trying to look at it like one of those "scale-back" weeks I keep hearing about. We'll catch that wascally wabbit again, Corrina, don't worry!

You're actually in a great place with the ability to pass folks each day. Better than being passed!

Thanks for the support guys! I was doing so well then smack-bang life has to up and interfere in my running. Oh well I may have missed this week and last but I still have most of the year to catch that fuzz butt. I plan on training for another 1/2 or 2 this summer so I will have many more miles logged by Sept. I just really wanted to stay ahead and log 20miles/ week but ..... Corrina

Good point. Thats usually how I start races

Wow, Crabby. You're doing great. I was going to talk some smack about being the next to pass you, but you're way up there. I'll try to stay close, anyway.

Hey Gig...I am not that far ahead and actually I was gonna give you a bit of smack about a week ago about being 0.1 mile in front of the bunny. We have a whole year and I plan on being your carrot until you catch up. I thought I didn't want to run another marathon, but I am thinking of changing my mind...again I have a year to think about this.

I'm back at 0.1 miles ahead. I want that carrot, Crabby! That's a great point from Runner67 about the pace bunny slowing down later in the year. More daylight and nicer weather (and a lot less laundry) make for many more miles. I had less than 90 miles by the end of March last year. Then I poured it on when the weather got nice. (This year is different. I spent a lot of money on cold weather gear, so now I have to use it. But my best purchase came two weeks ago--and I LOVE my RA technical shirt!)

I am grouchy about this week too. DH had knee surgery and DD was sick all week, so I was essentially a single parent playing nurse. Yikes, not very many miles in. I know that more will come later in the year, but I don't like to be too far behind as it gives me panic attacks! MTA I forgot to mention that it dumped 7 or so inches and I had to be the snow shoveling girl too.
