    You can probably run 3:20 in your sleep.

    Does your coach give you input on pace?

     

    He does not.  Everything is by effort instead of some arbitrary number that I may or may not hit.  He will be honest though and tell me if he thinks I can BQ.  Still almost two weeks of heavy training to get through first.  I do have a prediction for myself that I shared with DW but I will remain mum on that.

        4/11 Miles for Maria 3 hour - Catwhoorg.

         

        I won this last year, and the RD added a 12 and 24 hour option this year so the talent pool maybe even further diluted. Shooting for better mileage than last year So anything > 16 should be good.

         

        4/11 Miles for Maria 1 hour - Mrs Whoorg and Toddler Whoorg.

        Straight after I finish, I escort my 3 year old for her hour run/walk/pick-upsticks/smeel the flowers.

        She did ~2.5 miles last year so should be busting 3 at least this year,

              Interesting. Some day I would like to try running a marathon by effort.

                Actually I just did not know what to do with this vaguery:

                 

                "I'll be in Belgium (and Holland) at the end of the month and have registered for a half."

                 

                But have since improvised.

                        Vaguery. I like this word.  Actually, as I was registering, I noticed that the race is on May 1st, a Friday (civil holiday in Europe). So you can remove me from April. I'll have to wait until next month. It's in a place called Beckerich. Never been to Belgium, should be interesting.

                              I generally do not swear, but I make an exception here, because "internet". So saying shit is ok. But I must point out that it's happylily. Not happylilly. Am I being fussy?

                                In real life I am the guy who wants to be told when I am using a word the wrong way or misspelling it. There is no standard for doing that so however you do it it's good with me.

                                 

                                 

                                Some people get pissy over that but I prefer to be corrected than looking like an idiot, which I do quite well on my own, thank you. lol
