Good morning. Nice running weather here this morning: 42F and just a light breeze. Quite pleasant actually. 9.0 miles in 1:30:45, 10:05 pace. I tried to steam up (and down) the steepest hill, with Boston on my mind.

Good morning Roy and WRFB and everyone else... Had a nice 10.5 miler last night just holding a 9:00 minute steady pace the whole time keeping my HR around 135. I ran a different route than I ever have before just to mix it up a little. I ran to my old high school track which was a little over 4 miles away, than ran a couple of miles to make sure my foot pod was collaborated right, than back home. I really wasn't planning on that long of a run, but really didn't know for sure how far the school was till I ran there....nice run and nice temps in the 40"s. Thanks to Carolyn and Bob for helping me figuring out kilometers to miles ratio....I took Carolyn's advice and ran 5 laps and 38 feet which collaborated my foot pod exactly to 2k to 1 mile. Last night on the track, when I reached the start finish line on mile 1 and 2 my distances were absolutely perfect....Bob had me running 20 laps - 150 feet, but thought I would probably lose track of laps at some point ...thanks to both of you. Hope all have a wonderful "hump day" and good runs and workouts. At work really early this morning, and have a huge day ahead of me, and look forward to a nice stress relieving run tonight...and suppose to be sunny and in the 50's Tim

Good luck on the house thing... when we bought ours the goal was to be all moved in before DS1 was born. Well, numerous delays with the closing... we moved in when he was a week old. The one advantage to that is I got to play director on the moving process... let others to the heavy work!

Erika - DH and I moved from California to Ohio when I was 7 months pregnant with DS, everything we owned stacked in the back of an old pick-up truck like the Beverly Hillbillies. We stayed at my dad’s while DH found a job, and got an apartment with the move-in date of Feb 1. DS was born Jan 31 – 23 days early, so DH did the moving all himself. Of course, there wasn’t a lot to move in those days. 7.5 recovery paced miles for me today (ave pace 10:24, ave HR 130) in 32 degrees. Happy Wednesday!

Great running everyone. No running for me but I did do some light weights and stretching this morning. Now it's off to work. Picking up my lady friend and her two children as they arrrive from Florida tonight. Very excited to see her and them. Looking forward to our Satruday morning race (our first ever together) and our date that night... Take care Tall Today's Saying: Let Others have the Glory

Standard workout at the gym this morning followed by a mile on the TM. I didn't have time for much more than that but I wanted to give my body an idea of what it feels like to run when you're tired.

It’s Wednesday, so that means big workout day. 16 miles total—including wu then 4x25 minutes at 7:45 pace and then cool down in the distance remaining to my house. There are steep hills in the last 4 miles---getting at that "run hard while tired" monster. I run this on a favorite loop and know the distance markers. My watch had me at 7:43, 7:46, 7:44, 7:40- ish (screwed up my watch a bit). The whole deal in 2:13---faster than last week. I ran at 6:00 AM in 30-34F temps and light rain. The potholes are massive, but I was nimble today. Roy, can I call this cracking? I love that term! I am totally tired now, but happy. I sometimes train better and faster than I race and need to hold it here for the next weeks. The temptation to blast is great and yet I know better! (Well, I hope so) I am off this afternoon with the sixth grade at my son’s school. We are going to the Museum of Science in Boston for a camp-in field trip. The main exhibits are all about lightning and electricity and that lines up with what they are studying in school. It will be interesting! I’ll do my best not to embarrass my kiddo too badly. The Museum of Science is incredible and the museum president is an energetic leader. The foot traffic there is impressive, especially for a city full of museums and aquariums and the like. We arrive at 5 PM---dinner at the Museum, tour exhibits, see the planetarium and then lights out at 11 PM (AcK!) and then a full morning of science experiments on Thursday. Lunch at Faneuil Hall and then back on the busses. No running along the Charles, but plenty of activity I am sure! I’ll hit the roads again Thursday afternoon and will need the airing out so to speak. Happy Wednesday to all! I am always happy to let others have the glory. Good suggestion. CNYrunner …and the UConn women top the Big East!

CNY, I see that you do that workout from time to time and it's a very strong one. Good for you. Roy, how you feeling? Everything back to normal? No workout for me. I'm on Bainbrdige Island, off Seattle. Came in here from Chicago last night, a very scenic 30 minute ferry ride out here. It was dark so I couldn't see much. I have a full day of work today and tomorrow morning will make a two-hour presentation on my findings, so I have to write that tonight. But I have an early flight out tomorrow and then home a few days. Was that Mary Ann or Mary Jane? Spareribs
