Jackie - yes I am running Boston next year if I have to hobble across the line. Seriously not going to miss it again. My 2 best buds will hopefully both qualify next weekend so we will have a partay. Unless their husbands do something silly like try to come along:dizzy: I am doing a running plan called "streaking" which does NOT involve naked running. It involves running every day even if only a mile. Today will be day 30 once I get my hungover butt to the gym. |
ennay -- I'll be interested to see how "streaking" works out for you. :o
Seriously though, I've always thought that running EVERY day isn't a good idea because of an increased risk of overuse injury. I know I couldn't do it. I do some kind of vigorous exercise every day, but I only run 4 days a week, at most, to give my legs a break. I'm sure I'm older, so that's a factor, maybe for you it will be fine? Everyone is different .... |

The truth is elite athletes quite often run 13 workouts a week. The reason they can is even though they CAN run a 4 minute mile, quite often they run closer to 7 minute miles and sometimes 8-10 minute miles. Most recreational runners are not willing to have that big a difference between their "comfy pace" and their "recovery pace" The older I get the more I like long slow distance and find my body doesnt like too much speed. MTA: 3.5 today |
Much needed rest day for me.
ennay: I'm so inspired, I hope your friends make it Boston and you have a wonderful race. As far as the streaking I've heard of a few online site where streakers keep track of their days and some people have gone years and years without missing a day of running. Also from my understanding it's not so dangerous as it counts if you do even just 1 mile. SM177: Your half is this Sunday, how are you feeling From what I've heard its a pretty fun race with decent crowd support. I hope you have a great race day, hopefully next year I'll do this or one of the other races in the area. |
Ennay congrats and happy to see you back!! I hope to run Boston in 2011, most likely with my dad.
Jackie - Thanks! I'm excited. I'll let you know what I think of the race overall. 3.7 for me and I'm doneeeee until Sunday. I'm not enjoying this whole tapering business, especially since my leg is feeling better. I'm waking up early tomorrow to check out some entry level road bikes. I have no idea really what to look for:?:. Then my dad and I are headed to Ottawa to spend time with the fam before race day. |
+ 5.19 this morning for me...
|
8+ for me this morning. Slow. Too much treadmill time this week, I get bored and go faster than I should. Just to GET. IT. DONE.

No miles since Monday but this morning Angie and I got 4 in on the old Starbucks and bunny-poo park walk with the mutts. Have a great week-end everyone :) 240/1000 MILES |
Hey Gary! Kids are good, Samantha is done with school for the summer:fr:
I was thinking of you the other day, how is your daughter and "evil" son-in-law? :D 13.4 today. Beautiful weather. |
+29 for this week.
Ennay, that is an amazing total to shoot for. OMG. You're right that rec runners (like myself) don't like to have a gigantic difference between "comfy pace" and a "relaxed pace." Most of my medium-distance runs I can now do at 9 min/mile, which is quite an improvement for me. Therefore, when I see I'm doing a 12 min/mile pace on my long runs, I feel as though I'm doing it wrong somehow. But I'd rather be able to run it at a slow pace than kill myself trying to do 9 for that distance. |
Thursday +1.25
Friday +1.25 Saturday +4.0 |
10.55 miles for me today.
|
+2.5 yesterday, elliptical HIIT.
