cmb: congrats!

akalei: I have the 610 as well and really like it. The touchscreen is easy to use and it doesn't feel (or look) heavy and awkward.   I didn't spring for the HRM because I know myself, which means I wouldn't use it.  Or I'd use it infrequently so much so that the data I did get wouldn't be worth much.

cbus: nice run!  If 10 at sub-9:30 is easy and felt good, then I think you might have turned a corner.

Nick: I've seen something like that happen, too.  But sort of in reverse  I ran a 10 mile race organized by a local club that was on a trail (so just a flat out and back). The turnaround was just a big green "x" in a circle (they hadn't put up a cone), but it was mis-measured, so it was 4.75 miles from the start.  There were a couple of people from that club running near me who vocally cursed the member whose job it was to measure the course and they continued on to where their watches said 5 miles was and turned around.  (I turned at the mark; I was running it as a tune-up run for a half, so I didn't care that it was a bit short).  In our Garmin inaccuracy discussion, one watch can be short, but if six or seven (or dozens, from conversation at the finish) all say the same thing, it probably was short.

onemile:  We'll see.   I have been a devotee of the WTF plan the past two races, but I know that if I want to get better, I have to push myself.  Hansons' structure makes sense to me with my schedule (the easy runs are all the types I currently do) and because of its general regularity of types of workouts and from week to week.  My turn-off with Pfitz was that the plans seemed complicated and that I'd spend an eternity trying to master how to do some of the workouts rather than running but focusing on pacing.

Hi to everyone else!

Me: Doubled today. 4.2 @ 9:00 at lunch, then 5.5 @ 9:28 this evening.  Low 80s, sunny and humid for both runs, so I was drippy at the end.  The second run was a bit tough, but the first couple second runs are usually like that if I haven't doubled in a while.

6 for me this evening. Started at 8:50 and quickened pace every mile leaving mile 6 with an 8:02 mpm.

Hey all,

SRD for me. Some easy miles tomorrow.

Ami, Oh, I'm not interesting in doing Insanity--mostly, because it's, well, uh, insane. But I love that Shaun T. is so passionate about his program.

Ami, Onemile, Indi, wish I could join you all in Indi for the Monumental, but unfortunately it's only a couple of weeks after Cbus.

Flinders, thanks! I think I turned the corner too. I'm not sure I am where I was at the height of my fitness before I got sick. But I feel pretty good, right now.

Mdawg, Did you ever say if you decided to do Hansons Beginner or Advanced? I think I'm gonna do Beginner for Cbus, because I think I could use the easy miles in the beginning more than the additional speed work.

Happy running all!

It has been fixed!

I didn't even notice mine was like that til you said something!  What a mess.

Cbus, enjoy the rest day.
