Good Morning Lou ! For those of you who train and race with heart rate monitors. http://www.teamoregon.com/publication/online/wizard.php A calculator to predict your race time over various distances based on a recent race, And suggested training paces and heart rates. Also suggested heart rate to maintain for a goal race. As always, this can vary based on the conditions that day, and may or may not work for you. Just a starting point. Good Night Lou, its my bed time 1 :15 am.

Gee, Cash, you stay up late. And Shan is an early riser. I blew off my planned 6 tempo miles, but ran 11 @ about MP. This was right for today -- just a little run down so the tempo would have been a bit too much. 11.1 miles, 1:29:26, 8:03/mi, AHR 154 (77% MHR) All this in a light snow. I guess 1/2" was on the ground in places by the time I finished.

2 miles on the dreadmill. The snow is falling here too. Should make for an interesting afternoon run. Lou - nice adjustment! And best to listen to yourself. I get up at 5 that's nothing compared to you! Next week I might try to get up a little earlier so I can increase my morning runs.

Nice run Lou!!! Have fun taking the girls sledding Kimmie!! BTW that relay looks cool and I'd LOVE to do it if it wasn't so far away Sad

Good luck at the U/S Murphy! BTW just don't pass out if there's two Wink

Don't the find the due date by counting the number of weeks since the last period anymore? Kimmie - I am sure my wife would love to do the relay, especially as it's local, but we will have just taken the previous weekend off to go to Boston. (And she'd know how envious I'd be if I didn't get to do it with her -- but that's besides the point Wink

Apparently we've already found the 12th person.... she's a strong runner too. I've never run one of these before... I'm kind of excited but also freaked out... I have no idea if I'm going to be able to run at 3 am or whatever... we'll see.... I must freak out about my marathon first. My training was so iffy this time around... don't know how it's going to go.... 19 more days to figure it out. I feel like I ran Marine Corps well and to the best of my ability, so maybe I'll just copy that plan and shoot for a BQ another time. We'll have to do a Team Blister relay in the future... Smile

wouldn't that be fun?

Tough workout ,though it felt good. ALMOST got a 10 mile PR lol.

Relays sound like such fun!! You will be able to run at 3 am if you have too. I know of a few peeps who relaxed their goal on a marathon then SMASHED it! Something about being more relaxed.
