Good morning.
Today is a scheduled rest day and I could not be happier. The plan is to eat the equivalent of the national debt in calories, and that will start with a delicious four berry protein shake. After coffee, of course.
How are you?
Up 3-4 lbs from my marathon weight. Woohoo!
I still haven't decided if I'll run today. My numbers say I should, but I think I'm starting to like not running so much.
Mmmmm...beer
Good morning everyone!!
After my wet 21 miler on Saturday, I decided to wait for the rain to stop before heading out yesterday. Ended up with a nice 24 miler. I didn't eat much between runs and hit glycogen depletion around mile 15 yesterday, haven't felt that before, it was interesting. I felt fine, but it was like someone flipped a switch, there was just no energy. I guess that's what hitting the wall feels like (maybe worse? dunno, haven't experienced that in a race, but I also do a good carb load before a long race). I think the tailwind and some chomps I ate kept me from completely crashing. Probably a good training stimulus, got a good 9 miles in with my body just burning fat and what it could process from the Tailwind I was still drinking. 85 miles for the week, my highest of the year.
Hope everyone has a great day!!
Free Panera bagels at work today, woohoo!

Good morning folks!
13 under the stars this morning. It was the first morning without fog/rain/shit in over a week. It was wonderful.
Nice weekend of running D2. 45 miles in 2 days is impressive, and might indicate a problem .
LRB, you had a big mileage week yourself.
C99, don't get too lazy.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning! Listen up now it is MARATHON WEEK and I know you are all as excited about that as I am! Very little rain in the forecast this week...too-early-to-trust race forecast says 50 at the start, peaking at 55 during the race. Basically the same weather I had for my last marathon.
Today is an "active recovery" day, and since I swam yesterday, today I am excited that I get to take the new triathlon bike out for a short ride.

Good weekend overall. Nice running on Saturday and Sunday, temps only in the lower 60s, good weather, beer with friends, sweet. And Dallas Cowboys lost Sunday night, a nice end to the weekend. Today is a running rest day. Plan on doing my weight training circuit after work.

Awesome mileage, D2
Baboon, yeah, I can feel the excitement too!
Scotty, good weather and beer with friends is hard to beat.
I finally booked my accomodations for Boston. After the initial shock, I managed to find a simply furnished appartment in Somerville, 10 minutes walk away from a T station. That's what you get from running your qualifying marathon the weekend before the last week of registration. It's done though, and am pretty happy with the place I found.

I am VERY excited about it, but mostly because it's not me who has to run.
10m this morning, which partially makes up for me pooping out (literally, well almost ) on my long run yesterday.
PRs:
5k - 20:51 - 9/5/15
10k - 47:00 - 5/25/15
15k - 1:10:19 - 11/21/15
13.1 - 1:42:25- 4/25/15
26.2 - TBD (someday)
Today is a scheduled rest day and I could not be happier.
Good news for you marathon stalkers: My race will provide six splits which are sure to not update properly. Start, 10K, Mile 13.1, Mile 17, Mile 20, Mile 25.1, finish.

I am feeling it, but really grateful to be able to get out there and get at it. It's tough, but I do enjoy fall training.

I was telling myself this during my run yesterday. That I was lucky to be able to do this. It didn't seem to help much though.
But really we have less than 3 weeks til taper. That's nothing.

My run streak came to an end at 20 days - I woke up yesterday still feeling the effects of Saturday night's wedding festivities, so I opted to nap and go eat greasy fair food instead of running.
Good tempo workout this morning though: 2x1.5 miles, 7:56 average for the first 1.5 and 7:53 average for the second. 7.5 miles total with warmup and cooldown. I won't be in PR shape for my 5K this weekend, but after today's run I'm looking forward to seeing how close I can get and then I will make a plan to kick some butt in a late November race.
