No more marathons

    Oh, yeah.  Race.

     

    What cha got.

    Lordy,  I hope there are tapes. 

    He's a leaker!


    No more marathons

      Cup of coffee (or three), a banana, and then off to the races.

      8:55 AM start.

      Just looked my racing record up.  This will be my first non-senior games 10K in two years.  This same race in 2015.

      Wow - didn't realize it had been that long.

      Fun times.

      More than 600 preregistered so might hit the 1000 mark.

        Good morning!

        Good luck bluesky!

         

        I ran 8.2 miles.  I hit a groove about 5 miles in, and went on autopilot. The mind and body were both so relaxed, it was nearly spiritual.  I was sad when I saw my driveway.  Sign me up for another dose of that asap.

         

        Have a great day folks!

              2016 was the first year I didn't run a 10k at all. They are miserable but gratifying.

                It wasn't all continuous, but when added up, I slept like like a fucking baboon last night! That shit just doesn't happen for me. Ever. Cool

                 

                Anyway, it's 38 (on its way to 51) and foggy. I'm not sure if I will wear shorts or not, the thought just seems weird.

                  I was thinking I would wear shorts but I'm not running til this afternoon

                    By then, the decision might be a no-brainer.

                      I have a streak going back to 1989 of running my age or faster in minutes in a 10K.

                        Hmm, does that get harder or easier?

                          Hello.  Coach scheduled me for a 5K today, but I am skiing instead.  Heh.

                            Some years it was harder and I barely made it, other years I was many minutes under. Needless to say it was nearly impossible to even contemplate until I was in my 40s when I increased my training load after 4-5 years of maintenance running. The closest before that was running 36:11 when I was 35 though there was some question of the course accuracy since it wasn't certified.

                              That's quite an accomplishment.

                                Morning! Last night was very painful with that shot. Most painful I have been ever. But woke up feeling much better.

                                 

                                Took the car to the shop to finish the work but Lincoln sent the wrong part, sigh. Back home.
