Good morning! I ran 3.6 on another very rainy morning. That's my longest run in a month, and I'm thankful I could do it today . It's still way to early to guess what kind of mileage I'll be able to sustain, but damn if I didn't wake up this morning thinking about some unfinished marathon business. I was very confident I had a sub 4:00:00 in me, now I just hope I can maybe run another one at. I'm not getting greedy with the mileage, though. This will be the most cautious and conservative base-building I have done. Have a great day folks! MTA: Only a dumbass would run 3.6 while thinking about marathons.

There's nothing wrong with dreaming. Reality usually bites though. lol
Baboon nice job! I ran 6 before work. I am going to try to get 4 in after work so I hit 37 miles for the week. It's beautiful outside. I hate my weekends to work

Thankfully 4 is manageable, and not a deal breaker if you don't get it.
Ran 45min WU + 30min MP + 20min T + 30 min CD, for 17.25 miles.
Also known as the feeling of invincibility. 👍

Hi Baboon! We love you too!
Wow.
As tiring as it is, because of the volume of the workout, it's actually not so difficult. Running Yasso 800s (10 x 800 with 3 min rest in my case) is much more difficult, and tiring actually.
But yeah, this workout kinda helps to mentally believe that maybe I can hold a 1:28 pace.
Related fact, I decided against an April half for a May half about 6 weeks ago. The one I decided against was today, and the weather is just gorgeous . PRs all over the place.
The sweat. The clinginess. No.
Nice, Dave. My asthma has been sucky lately as well (as you heard). I started prednisone, which could be an option if you can't pay for the Advair. 1-2 days of it can help a lot.
Good thinking. Prednisone is good to attack flare-ups, and is cheap. Of course I'd have to go in & get an Rx, which means paying for an office visit.
I actually had some Advair left that I was saving for an emergency, and started back on it a couple days ago, but not much remaining. The doctor also gave me a sample of Breo, a new one supposedly similar to Advair. Maybe I'll try that. But also expensive once the sample runs out.
Allergies have been under control at least; I am taking Singulair and a Zyrtec every day.

IK,R? I am chafing just looking at that pic.
How many weeks out are you?
6. Which sounds ridiculous, I feel like I'm ready to taper. But next week is another killer.

My chances of running early this morning were blown out the window, and I really thought that I would end up with another Sunday with no run. But earlier today I decided "fuck it" and took both Dorian and Jetta out and we ran 8.3 miles!!!! That's the longest I've ran since the BTM 13.1 back in March so I am very happy.
The Harmonie Trail Half Marathon is May 30, so I've still got like 5 weeks before it to reach 13 miles..... I'll be so happy when my long runs are back up to 16 miles again.....

PRs
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)
Ridiculous? Ha. Try amazing considering the uncertainty at the beginning of this cycle!
Patience, grasshopper. Lest thee jump from the frying pan right into the fire.
5.8 and strength training.
