    Ha! I read that as a 5k time

     

    Me too, at first, but that time didn't really make sense for LRB, so I checked his log and BOOM! There it was!

      So many people just completely oblivious to their surroundings 

       

      This morning, three ladies were walking side by side on the sidewalk. I was like 100m away, and they had a clear view of me coming. There was a busy street on one side, and some trees on the other. I'm keeping right as much as possible. They just ignored the fact that I was coming. So I had to either stop, run through them like a bowling ball in bowling pins (although I am the one with the shape of a pin, and they had the shape of the ball, but whatever), or take a step in the street. I had a small opening and managed to side step them with a couple of steps in the street and quickly hopped back on the sidewalk.

        You are really killing this training cycle

         

        +1. Though I’m still not entirely sure someone hasn’t hacked LRB’s account.

          And how does it feel to breathe in fresh air?

           

          Wonderful. I have not coughed since I got here.

            That was just my thinking during my run.

             

            My thinking is if you can jog 3 miles to the track, then bust out a 5 x 1k session hitting 3:40 for each interval, does it really matter that your splits on the way there were 9:30, 9:15 and 8:55? I'm not sure if it does or does not but I think if you are doing quality work on the regular across all paces and hitting your target paces you should be okay. I don't know.

             

            Nice run by the way. That was work!

              I ran 14ish including pacing the 1:50 group at a local half

               

              Was this a part of your marathon pacing duties or something entirely different?

                Awesome run!  Excellent work, my friend.

                 

                Thanks. If i had your fitness I could've run about 24 of them bitches.

                  I hope I make it to the end!

                    I had wanted to do the .8 mile loop around the regional park. There was a huge group (like 15-20 people) wallking the loop when I was coming up. When the ones refused to share the sidewalk, I decided I didn't need to do the loop. There were tons of geese sitting on the baseball field, maybe they attacked them.

                      I've only gone 3 hours once IIRC. Hope you don't have too much lawn mowing, wood chopping or kid moving to do today 

                       

                      I am going to a comedy show tonight. It's easy in, easy out so shouldn't be too bad. Tons of weed smoking there though (it's an open venue). I may need a new lung when I leave that beeyotch. lol

                        I could see that now! It was a 3 hour run. I didn't want to run a single second past it (officially it was 2:59:59.61) and that just happened to be what the numbers were. My last 3 hour run was 20.1 miles, so a quicker pace this time.

                          Off, big ‘oops’ on my part yesterday, looking back at the numbers I run up the inclines way too fast which is why the ham went nut.

                           

                          lol - Good luck in the pool!

                            Nope. It me.

                             

                            Although, there was someone here once who could clone an account way back in the day when this place was a circus. Fun times. Not.

                                Sort of.  Not required but optional free entry to a handful of races if you want to pace (any pace you want- doesn't have to be the marathon pace you're assigned). Just have to wear a pace bib sign declaring the pace.
