Didn't see one, so here's the place to post and race.
I'll start with this one...

Thanks Clive.
4/19
Ntown Kevin
Kingston Classic
Kingston, NY
10K
sub 36
Auto PR coming, first 10K for me (hard to believe I haven't run one yet). Back in the day this was a serious race with winners like Greg Meyer, Jon Sinclair, and a host of Kenyans finishing in sub 30. Then the money dried up in 2010, and now it's part of a HITS running festival. Sub 36 is just the right amount of ambitious I think for where I am right now. Should be fun.
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and roguesWe're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes

Welcome back Clive! Good to see you back on the boards.
Hmm. Go ahead and add me to the list with:
4/18
Windmill 10K
SF, CA
<41:00
Not sure about this one ... Start/Finish is located at the dutch windmill in Golden Gate Park, runs up JFK for 3.1 miles (fairly tough grade there) and then turns around for the return trip. Should be fast on the way back but the first half hill is gonna kill me in the shape I'm in. My last race was equivalent to a 41:18 10K but I think I'm a little more fit. 41 it is.
Here we go again:
4/26
London Marathon
London, UK
26.2
<2:40:00
3rd try at sub 2:40. Hopefully third time lucky. I've felt quite crappy the last few days so I'm hoping I've not overcooked it.

You've got the fitness and then some. Go for it!

Thanks! I hope you had a good time in Scotland - give me a shout if you are ever London way.
Good on you Roth. Get that number.
I'm running Boston. Notice I did not say racing. Current fitness is about 3:30 ish so I am going to say 3:23 and requal.

There won't be any lucky in this one. You've been in the work and are ready get one up on London. Just be smart in the next two weeks as tapering can be a fickle beast.
Thanks guys. I've already had my pre-race cold so that's sorted. Potentially I could have a stress free taper (tweak, tweak, tweak).

Training went to shit, so now the goal is to squeak out a BQ. Something low 3:20ish.
A list of my PRs in a misguided attempt to impress people that do not care.
There are tons of great races this weekend (and Monday of course). I hope everybody runs well. Ken, you look ready for your 10k.. and Kev.. you might be closer to 35 than 36. And Greg.. Im sure it will turn out well. Head down.. knocking out the miles.

Good luck!
I left Boston by Amtrak today for Philly. I am glad it was not the airport so I could avoid the first of the Boston jackets arriving. That would have flared up an already pissy mood on missing the marathon.
Not that I am in any shape to run it.

I have one of those jackets. I'm not bringing it. That nor any ability to race.
Crap
. and Kev.. you might be closer to 35 than 36.
Heh - you were right by 3 whole seconds...35:27 for the win. Really nice day out there, and felt like a hard honest effort.
