No more marathons
Oh, yeah. Race.
What cha got.
Boston 2014 - a 33 year journey
Lordy, I hope there are tapes.
He's a leaker!
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!
Runner with a riding problem.
Good luck Bluesky and DaveP!
Wonderful.
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.
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.
Are we there, yet?
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.
