First off Lou, you had a GREAT long run! Second off you don't have to run a marathon to complain about tired legs. Running almost 60 miles for the week is more than enough!

definitely!!!!

you know what I'm going to say about you running Frederick

I sure wish I was in town for our local race -- I would definitely have you all over, but I think I'd be disowned if I skipped our niece's wedding

Pam- wow, is all I can say.

You got that right, Kimmie -- Pam is the machine around here. Well, Shan, too now I guess Nice 16 -- that's a fun distance to run, I think.

Loved the summary, Shan. You puked. I'm so proud.

Posting this from my iPhone in the airport, so let's see how this goes. Dave, I had an absolute blast running with you this am. Running with good company makes running fun, hopefully there will be a few more runs in the cards when you get up this way for good. Though my wife wants me to tell you that my inability to keep track of time is hereditary, not from how fast I can run. She's so funny, that one. Erika, we will probably be vacationing in Fairbanks one of these years, we really liked it up there, so we might just take you up on that. Shan, nice race. No PR, but you are getting the full spectrum of marathon experiences, aren't you? I can't believe I hit 75 this week, I only have a couple of chances to make 80, but I think that will involve 2adays, which I'm not mentally ready for that, yet(and neither is my wife, I think). I still have to frame a time goal for my 10k next week. It's not a sub 40 course, but maybe in the 40s would be nice. Nice running this week everyone!

2 runs over 13 miles 50 miles total And feel ok, considering.

That's really great, Murphy. Couple more of those and you'll be blowing right past the 4 hour mark yourself with ease. 50 mile weeks are no joke. Way to go!

Good job Murphy!!!

Good runs for all you guys. I guess I need to go find a post from Shan about another marathon?? Well, somebody has to drag down the average, might as well be me this time. My run sucked. Capital "S" Sucked. I knew I was in trouble at mile 5. Tried to make it to 7 to use the "facilities" at my parents' house, but couldn't make it... found a long driveway with a snowmachine trail off the side and went down there a few feet... ahhh. Glad I carry Kleenex in my waist pack. So... on I go to mile 7, stop at my folks' house to get a drink and clean up a bit... um, they're not home. So... mosey on a bit further, and say to myself "This SUCKS I want to go home!" Called DH and had him come get me. In the meantime, I'd turned around and started running back to home and he picked me up when I had 9.1 on my Garmin. I didn't even want to try to make up the mileage on my treadmill. Forget it. Issues: Why the FU** can't drivers move over for you?? Are they trying to prove a point that you shouldn't be on the side of the road (off on the shoulder, facing traffic, mind you) so they try to brush your shoulder?? I couldn't believe it. The traffic was so heavy today, not like last weekend at all. The temps were perfect, but the new snow on the shoulder over the ice and slick hardpack was really slippery. Last year on this weekend (last Sunday in March) I was running on the cleared bikepaths! There's no indication the highway dept. is even thinking about clearing them this year. I'm so sick of winter. So tired of running in snow and slipping and staggering around. I'm so done with this winter training crap. Grrrr! I'm not doing a late winter/early spring marathon next year. Just not going to deal with it. I hate training up here. There, I said it and I'm glad. ... when is spring coming?
