Well Frankie is still sick Looks like I'll be running after Ken gets home like I did last night. I sure hope he's better by tomorrow. Mad science starts and he'll be upset if he has to miss the first day.
As for my run last night Ken came was telling me how and what I should be running this week. He mentioned some steady paced runs (well except warm up ) anyways that's what I did last night. I tell you it's easier to just go by feel and not worry about the pace cause it's going to differ. Anyway I got 4 miles very close to the same time and then ran faster the last .5 to get an average of the last 4 miles though I think I was a bit fast. Oh well lol.
Hope everyone has a great Tuesday

When I came downstairs I heard boo-beep ... bee-boop ... boo-beep ... bee-boop, the sound of my forerunner being attached, then unattached from my computer's usb port. I reset the forerunner, then nothing -- not even charging. Sheesh. Then reinstalled training center (this has worked before). Still nothing. Rebooted computer. Still nothing. Getting mad here.Finally tried cleaning the contacts on the back of the forerunner with my finger. Worked fine. Whew.

Hail to The Victors!
Erika, Here is a "Belated Great Job" on your first ultra. I ran out of "Spouse Allowed Internet Time" two weeks ago. Anyway Great Job, glad it went better than expected. So next year what race (marathon or ultra) will you want to run? Vix, I think I lost my drive to gut it out like I use to, but I did make it hurt Sunday. Mankato (Minnesota) Marathon is Oct 23rd 2010. Guest Bed is still up for grabs.

Thanks for the Heads up, Bugs, I don't know that I'll take you up on the guest bed, but we might be there for the race!
Getting the last few panicky miles in before Brooksie Way on Sunday. I finally got around to signing up yesterday, so I'm definitely in. Gonna try to fit in a 12-14 today. Seems like the body mostly remembers everything before the long outage, so while I lost speed, I don't think I lost too much endurance...

Jeremy,
That's great! There going to be a incentive to run the Rochester Marathon in June and the Mankato marathon if you want to double up visits. I'm afraid the Mankato marathon will be very small, maybe 200, I don't think they have a clue how many will show up.

I bet, it's hard to guess how many would show up for a first time race. Do they have a course yet, and how many of those vaunted Mankato hills is it going to take on? Some of those hills up by campus are really brutal...
The preliminary course for the Mankato Marathon is ALL easy downhill. It starts by the college and goes out of town on 90, comes back on red jacket trail, through the neighborhood district, into sibley parkway (lovely new park along the river) and ends on front street. Sounds like a very fast course.
On the road again...

So basically I could just roll to a PR? Awesome!!
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Hmmm, Paul, good point. Anyone know how to reach her offline? I hope everything is ok...
6 miles RAL in beautiful sunshine and not-too-cold 35°F temps. Glad I had gloves, but it was a very nice run. I did not want to come back to work afterwards... but here I am.
Schedule called for 2 at marathon pace. Ok, so I went a little faster.7.1 miles, 57:38, 8:09/mi, AHR 150 (77% MHR)2@8:16(146), 2@7:53(154), 3.07@8:16(148)I wonder when I am going to decide on a pace for this first marathon? I guess some time before I finish would be good.
