Super B****
It's been a while since I've had to go to a race via public transportation... I may actually die from the cold before the race even starts, and if I don't, I will be overdressed. Ah well.

This is link to a runner I follow on Strava who took a DNF after 21 miles in Atlanta yesterday. Underneath his are the splits to several other of the runners who were there.
We're supposed to get up into the 50's today. March coming in like a lamb and the next couple weeks look amazing
We will be in the 50s as well and I have 15 with 6 @ MP, so looking forward to the shorts and tank!

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.

Was fairly cold still this morning on my run. Weather will warm up tomorrow around here.
Ran for 2 hours, or so, with approx 5 miles at the end of picking up the pace to maybe 7:25-7:30 mpm ish.

18 miles done this morning.

5k - 24:15 (7:49 min/mile pace)
10k - 51:47 (8:16 min/mile pace)
15k -1:18:09 (8:24 min/mile pace)
13.1 - 1:53:12 (8:39 min/mile pace)
26:2 - 4:14:55 (9:44 min/mile)
For those who know Ryan Root, who’s on RA and has been in the miles game, he finished at 2:24. Probably a disappointment for him as he has a 2:16 PR; had a pretty noticeable fade. His comment on Strava: “Holy f*ck. That hurt.” But of course all these guys are crazy impressive.https://www.strava.com/activities/3142765027/overview

7 miles by the beach. Super windy.
Yeah... you know how people say not looking at your watch makes you run faster? Not true for me! Though I suppose I knew I wasn't running 5K pace -- it didn't feel like it -- but I just didn't care. I'm only a little annoyed because I ran two seconds slower than last year. On the plus side, last year I was really trying.
I need to not run short races in cold weather. I just can't do it. It's not so bad in the longer races because once I warm up I can get some of that time back, but a 5K is too short for me to get warm at all. So I ran the 16 miles home.
5 slow recovery miles. 66 for the week.
That was also a super hilly course and windy too.
I got my Ryans mixed up, and initially thought LRB was talking about Ryan Root (whom I also follow) and by looking at RR's splits, I couldn't figure out the DNF. LOL. I heard that course was really hard, and windy.
It's 45* and sunny here in MN, and everybody's outside and in a fabulous mood. My achilles doesn't feel like total shiz today (win!), after yesterday's run, so I'm considering doing a slow SHORT run today. We'll see.
Oops, didn't see this. Yes.
Of all the possible running attire combos, shorts and a long sleeve tech is my all time favorite for jogging. That would be about 45 degrees in the morning. If I could get a week or two of that, color me peachy.
