Roll Call. Everyone check in and describe your last run in three sentences or less. 21 miles yesterday. Pace was easy, but legs feel like shit. Marathon May 18, DAMN.

I hate my lungs. I need to retire my oldest pair of NB 902s. Waiting for new new pair that should be here tomorrow. Speaking of...WWYD. My "youngest" pair of shoes has over 200 miles. I have 2 new pair coming in the next couple of days. If I time it right I can do my 5 miler in a new pair tomorrow. Then I have a 16 miler planned for weds. I am tempted to wear new shoes for this run, too. I'd like to be able to wear them for 25k a week from Sat. I could easily get 30-40 miles on them before the race and have a fresh, squishy pair of shoes for that race, but that long run in an almost out-of-the-box shoe makes me nervous...should I give it a go? How unwise is this? I do have Blister Shield powder that I could put in my socks to combat any early break-in issues. This would be my 3rd pair of this model and I've had good luck so far...but I've never done a long run in them without breaking them in well with lots of shorter ones first.

I'm still here. Jeez, last run was over a week ago. *Cue violins* Like Zoom-Zoom, my lungs have been really hurting for over a week. Stupid asthma.

Easy 6 mile run with good company. Legs and breathing seem back to normal. Talked a lot about being ready for Sunday's marathon.

Saturday was 1 mile warmup, 5k race, and then another 2 mile easy run in the afternoon to get me over 30 miles for the week. 6.1 miles, but it seemed easier than that! I'm still tired from last week, so I took two days off in a row. Shocked

Back at it tomorrow, in the rain, I guess. Good to hear from you Beautiful People!

Good thing you weren't here. My lungs haven't been right for the past 2 months. Our friendly local active volcano has been pumping extra SO2 in the air. With the trades down the past few days you're practically drinking the SO2 in Honolulu. MTA - Five easy miles followed by a little dip in the ocean.

Moderate 4 miles with average pace 8:36. I would pay $5,000 to get rid of this shin splint, which is concerning. Half marathon is May 17.

Hmmm...maybe Hawaii isn't so great. Amy, let's find a place with no allergens, cold bugs, or active volcanos! Big grin

I lived there from 89-92. Perfect weather. Slightly isolated.

Works for me. I took a vacation to Maui once. It was very nice but could have been warmer. January is too cold. We should plan it around a race.

back from my 2000 calories lunch...yes there is plenty of room, just carve your own cave on the basalt lava outcrop hillside that is my backyard.
