Three Martini Lunch

Ditto. I haven't run one since a hungover, queasy effort the day after Thanksgiving and haven't raced one since September. Bright Beginnings 5K this weekend. A perfect name, don't you think, Cbus? No idea about how the field will shake out. There is no prize money to speak of, so the field will be a bit shallower, but even these charity 5Ks have overall winners running in the low 17s and winners of my age group in the high 17s.
M: 3:31:56
HM: 1:37:33

Rollcast - nice! Maybe you'll inspire Cbus now. Last year i ran a 5k for first time in over a year and PR'd by over a minute.
PR's - 5K - 20:15 (2013) | 10K - 45:14 (2011) | 13.1 - 1:34:40 (2013) | 26.2 - 3:40:40 (2014)
Up Next:
???
this is my hope
PR's : HM 1:51:15 - 5K 21:27
Former Bad Ass
I did this and I PRd by 0 seconds....
I spent the whole year getting asthma attacks and being slow so there is that....
If it's 45F (which is 40F cooler than my 5K PR), how can I pace for the race (assuming I'm doing it) IF THE WIND IS AT 20MPH, HEADWIND MOST OF THE COURSE?
I hate that the only way I can get cold weather is to bring me a hurricane with it....

You guys are making me want to race a 5k!
Come on down and race this one. Apart from the 20mph headwind, just wear a bikini since it will be a nice balmy 45F for you!
No thank you. I've had my fill of wind this winter. You can keep it.
Three weeks later ran another PR by 30sec and won AG in both races. Highlight of my running year.

Do we get pictures of you gals running 5Ks in bikinis?
9 miles w/ 5x1K @ 5K pace (3 min rests) done. 3 miles warm up @ 9:21 avg. 1K intervals @ 6:34, 34, 38, 39, 35. Cool down for 1.67 miles @ 9:54 pace. Tough workout and I had to laugh a little after the last interval. Glad I was able to get it done outside as there was only light snow and rain. Small hills and inclines are a blast at high speed arent they?! Just makes ya wanna puke!
Jedi - Take your taper seriously! You have trained hard and you are gonna burn the streets, so take some time to rest and recover.
Oh yeah, and do we get pictures of you gals running 5Ks in bikinis?
PRs...5K - 20:36, 4mile - 26:15, 13.1 - 1:32, 26.2 - 3:42
Just Run!!!
I am running a half this weekend and REALLY want a PR for that since my last HM (1:54)was run more as a LR and less of a race.

Evening everyone. 5 recovery miles finished at 10:16. Legs were still very blah, glad this one is over. Did manage to wear shorts and a long sleeve tech shirt today, really nice out and expecting 50's in the next couple of days. The end is near...
Found out today that they've started building an indoor field center with 4 soccer fields that's going to have an indoor running track around the perimeter Will be finished this fall and only 3 miles from my house so that got my spirits up.
Play the Game Hard!
Very nice run. I planned on 12 but by the time I got home, I had gone through stomach reflux, cramps, and a headache, so I settled for 9-10. I did 9 and I was doing 9:XX at the end of the run without blinking. I love when the asthma matches the legs.
indi - no worries! I start my 10-day taper tomorrow. Not running longer than 8 miles until race day. 7-RD-8-5 rest of this week. 5-8-RD-5-3-13.1 next week.
Smashy!!!
Jedi, the Daniels programs sounds very similar to the Hansons. Do you agree? Or is this just my perception?
PRs: 21:35 (5K); 1:46:46 (HM); 4:30:46 (FM)
Doesn't Luke say in the book that the Hansons base their program off of the psysiologial research Daniels has done? I have the Daniels book but haven't had time to read through it closely and think about the plans and their differences, but if the science underpinning both plans is Daniels' own research, then it stands to reason that there might be a lot of similarities.
Garmin came in the mail today, so I got to play with it. I was happy that the battery came with a 40% charge right out of the box, so I was able to use it on my run this evening. It will take some playing with so that it isn't just a expensive stopwatch, but one run in I like it so far.
Doubled today. 4.5 at lunch @ 7:40. A bit fast, but it felt good all the way through. And it didn't have any negative carryover effects to my run this evening. 8 easy @ 8:30.
Hi everyone!
