Trying to find some more hay to restock the barn
Dave - Sorry to hear about the leg. Injury is my biggest fear.
I did four this morning trying to beat the rain (which of course still hasn't begun). Ended up doing the miles at a 9:28 pace, which once again is far below what I had planned. I just cannot find a good way to remind myself to run easy. But it's not like I'm sprinting these either and I'm not completely wiped at the end.
In any event, I may need to recalibrate the pace at which I do my speed work (currently 9:16 as my "5K pace").

Scottydawg - , I've checked the mailbox after my runs before... Does that count?

Hi dailies:
18.7 done, 7:14 pace. It seemed slower than that by a lot. Maybe if I keep my ass in gear I'll be able to run sub 3:10 in beantown, we shall see.
Basya - the new shoes felt great, they are clearance DST-17's, and very similar to the 16's that I retired. Rick has the shiny new 18's I believe, and those look like quite a departure from the previous models.
Yes, they came today. Don't know how they feel yet but the look says get the F outta my way!
Dave: I know we spoke on FB, but I'll mention it here too: I am so sorry and I am hoping there are no fractures. Fingers crossed!
Jay: That was a nutso run! Fantastic speed!!!!!
SIAR: Another great run for you too, on tired legs nonetheless! Well done!
DC Dan: I have that same trouble myself at times! You ran at a nice clip, though!
LRB: Great speed there! I know what you mean - I'm ready to get outside too!

Hi, guys. Very busy day and I have not even been at the office since 2pm, but yet, I'm on the road, on the phone, and hard at work. I think I need to take Sammy to the vet because she's had one eye closed off since 6am. So, no happy hour for me.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

You ran a 3:02 or something in your last race, right? You've got sub-3:10 in the bag, you goose!

2.9 better than nothing miles. I'm thankful to have the ability to run 2.9 miles, just disappointed that Due to continued bad weather I wasn't able to do twice that. It is what it is...
Running for TJ because he can't.
Got my run in after work, 8.34 miles. Very nice, warmed up to 36 -- first time without a hat & gloves in quite a while. And since most of the paths are now cleared off, I found it's amazing how much faster you can go you're not running on snow & ice....

Finished my 14 MLR and felt good throughout. Of course I ran it faster than I meant to do but it just felt easy running outside in the sunshine.
Train smart ... race smarter.

The group run was super fun. Jess looked adorable in her tutu. I drank alcohol in the middle of a run for the first time ever - a cookie dough martini shot. Then ate a chocolate covered strawberry a couple blocks later. Yum
