For our Boston Runners: If you're being run out of town, get in front of the crowd and make it look like a parade. (Author Unknown)
Okay. Now that I've taken my personal stuff out of the weekly totals box . . .
Eliz - Ran 8.3; stretching; unanticipated face-down napping
frances - 4.5 hrs running
Stumpy - 10.75 miles running (with a spontaneous 5k thrown in), 1.5 hrs basketball, 2 miles elliptical
evanflein - 21.8 miles run, 1.7 miles walked (plus many more not recorded), 3.7 miles elliptical and some weights/abs
pfriese - 35.1 miles running, 735 pushups
Evryday - 18 running miles
Nono - Running 14 miles, 25 min yoga, 10 min stretch. WTH? This is even a workout? I'm losing it!!!
Shadowrunner - 28.1 miles, 750 push-ups, hour of core; 1:50 free weights. definitely an off week.
fatozzig - 7.75 miles. I think this is quite possibly the lowest mileage I've had in a very long time, with the exception of when I had surgery.

Bare Performance
Monday - ortho appt after school (for sprained wrist; I've had quite a winter; wrist getting better); no time to run between drive home and night class; kinda tired though, so rest is good
Tuesday - stuck at school until almost 8 p.m. so more rest
Wednesday - 2.6 miles between school and a rehearsal; light rain way better than heavy pollen
Thursday - crashed big-time when I got home; calf still very tight from yesterday, so decided to just stretch and rest; definitely need it
Friday - 3 miles between school and rehearsal; sun and 70
Saturday - endless box-moving as we emptied out the rest of mom's house into my basement; my house looks like the set for "Hoarders"
Sunday - exhausted; think I have yet another sinus infection, so I'm laying low for another day

Shoulda known when the doc said "no walking on the beach" (something I consider to be my birthright) that something was seriously wrong with that picture. Looking forward to a little barefoot running action on the sand this summer.
Hi everyone, thanks Leslie for starting us for the week.
Mon: 45 min UB, 10 min abs, 20 min recovery run, 20 LB + PT appt.
Done! The 3K recovery run went very well. The lunges and squats didn't bother my hip at all.
Another PT appt. today. He's pleased with my progress, but cautioned me not to wanna do too much. Allowed a bit of hill training tomorrow, but not on the TM.
Tue: hill training outside
I had an amazing run. I did a 1.5K warm up, then 11x285 meter hill repeats, or should I say bridge repeats cause there are no hills here, with a recovery jog down, then a 1.5K warm down. Oddly enough, my hill repeats got faster as I did more of them (1:40-1:21), and my warm down was also 2 minutes faster than my warm up. I expected myself to slow down as I got tired. But that didn't happen. And I had FUN My last hill repeat I chased two runners that I passed recovering down, and were already half way up the bridge when I stormed up. I passed them a few seconds before the top. Felt great. I have no idea about the incline though. It added all up to 9.37 kilometers.
Wed: 5.5K easy + pushups&abs + 30 min plyo legs + PT appt.
Woke up late. Could've rn were it not that I had to be in the office by 8h30 sharpish. It's the one day of the week when I have to be on time.
PT is pleased with my progress. Though his treatments don't get any less painful.
Thu: 12.5K easy + PT appt. (day off)
11.28K tempo run. Didn't mean to, but I was paying attention to my knee lift again after the 1st 2 kilometers and I just went faster. I don't know if it's the knee lift, or whether the hill workouts are finally paying of.
Fri: 45min UB, 10 min abs, 20 min recovery run, 20min LB
This morning was 45 min UB first (STS Ba/Bi), then a 3 kilometer recovery run with Spooky, that is, I ran it pretty fast, so guess it's not really a recovery run, followed by a 30 minute plyo w/o (skipped the w/u cause I did the run). Feel absolutely great. Ran out of time for abs. Will absolutely do it this afternoon, after work.
Sat: 5.5K doggie run
Very nice 6.868 kilometer with Spike and Spook. Both Spike and Spook did a runner twice. Had to wait a bit for them to come back (stopped the clock). Lovely morning. Bit chilly: only 5C.
Added on a 30 min boxing working, incl. abs.
Sun: 20K long run + yoga
I ran THE most scenic route in this area. Today I did a little over 22 kilometers of it. It can be extended to nearly 24 kilometers if I remember correctly. And I ran it way faster than I think I ever did on the road. I don't know what's going on but this month, my average pace per week keeps going down, and my pace this week has been faster than usual too. Is it the hill training? Is it the massage therapy? Is the the CW-X compression tights? I don't know, but something is up.
Here's a link to some pics I took this morning. Hope it works.

GOALS 2012: UNDECIDED
GOALS 2011: LIVE!!!
Thanks, Leslie! This week will be recovery for me. Got another 5k coming up on May 1 that I need to prep for.

Thursday: 4.2 miles easy pace (8:45), .25 mile walk
Friday: Desperately needed rest day, I feel wretched; early bedtime is in order!
Saturday: 6.1 miles, 8:30 avg pace, feeling much better but not 100%
Sunday: 10 miles run (8:17 avg pace), .6 mile walk
Erika: amazing finish time. Even if you had to walk some of it! Congrats
My birthday is getting closer, so I made a big decision today: next year I'll turn 50, and I've decided that I'd wanna run a marathon around that time. I've actually picked the Vancouver marathon (1st Sunday in May). Any Vancouverites here? If any of you have any info or tips regarding hotels, I'm all ears Once registration is open for 2011, I'll sign up and then go about booking a city trip. It seems the cheapest option vs booking a separate flight and hotel, or an organised marathon trip.
Oh, Dutchie, I didn't walk on the course! We got dropped off almost a mile from the Athlete's Village (roads closed to regular vehicles, just buses getting through) so had to walk in, then all the walking afterward, then we walked a lot of the way to our after-race party, and then again after that to get back to our hotel! Should've worn the Garmin for all that stuff!
I don't know anyone from Vancouver, but if you're still taking suggestions I'd vote for the nearby Royal Victoria Marathon, I think it's Oct. 10 this year.
Trails are hard!

Dutchie--I think there are some Canadians on the daily and also some over at Kickrunners who might be able to offer some ideas.
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
