25:00 on the hills with 3x1-minute pickups. Back is a bit stiff, probably from the rain.

Thats like 6:40 miles have some respect for yourself and train harder.

gentleman,have some respect yourself and go over your math.It is more like 6:27 per mile. Still a mediocre performance, but more accurately so.The essence of your advice is nonetheless worth noticing.

...plus, if you consider there's a lot of lane 2 and lane 3 running because of the overtaking...And yes, my knickers have now become untwisted, and i will resume my typically subdued, conversational tone....

tpcb, The major issue here is the fact that despite your recent mending from an injury that sidelined you for quite some time, and the passing of another year, you performed at a higher level in an "apples to apples' race effort.

Savor the moment and take time to applaud yourself.

Kudos, my friend!

15.5 miles biked in the rain with my Bride.Very easy pace.

14.5 miles, 10 @ about 7:00/mile, 3.5 at 5:45, then cool down rest of the way back to my place. Starting to feel fast. We'll see when I race next weekend!

80-ish miles on the week!

14 miles in high humidity. Moderate and steady pace. Trails mostly with some road.

driske,

Thank-you sir.

today: bike commute

forgot: 1 hr walk this early AM. Went to buy fresh bread for breakfast. Could be the start of doubles. Tmw (and friday), going to buy fish.

30:00 run including 4x1-minute pickups. Warm and strangely humid today.

AM: ten minutes on recumbent bike

PM: thirty minutes on recumbent bike

Waiting at home for an electrical contractor to show up, waiting for the phone to ring.

4 mile warm up, 4 mile tempo run in 21:30. Felt good, never felt like I was really struggling. 3 mile cool down for 11 on the day. My first race in almost 6 months is Saturday, and while this one is really just about getting some rust off, I feel pretty strong and feel like I could pop out a decent run (for me, I know it'll be slower than a lot of people on here).

I live at 9300 feet, but can drop down to 8000 for my runs, which was an easy 8 miler today, long gradual hills the whole time.

Catchy response to the Emperor. Obviously in good taste or the mods would have edited it out.

12.5 miles for the day. Felt stronger than usual, though that's very subjective.

Your name is not Rolando Vera by any chance, is it?

25:00 with 5x30-second pickups. Warm, but nice out today.

10 miles today, felt amazing. Took it easy, as race coming up this weekend and there was a workout yesterday.
