Happy Super Sunday, Masters, from Pueblo, CO. No race for me after all today. My mother-in-law died this week, and we came out here for her memorial service. Sad time for the family obviously, though also in some ways a relief after her long and painful illness.

Running-wise, an ok week incl. 20 miles Weds. morning -- first 12 fairly thru an inch or so of snow and last 8 on treadmill with some random accelerations and hill repeats.

and Saturday 9 miles on hotel treadmill to avoid the black ice outside -- progression run peaking with 10 mins. at marathon pace.

Have a great week and enjoy the game,

Dave

I'm sorry to hear about your family's loss....

The second week I will somewhat euphemistically call "training" amounted to 30 miles. I braved the local parkrun on Saturday for 5k of thick wet gloopy mud and two inches of just-above-freezing water in a shade under 20 minutes, which I guess I'll call my first 'tempo run'. Probably time to find a hill somewhere midweek.

Dave good luck in Pueblo. Ran a marathon in Pueblo in the early 80's during my had hair long hair days. This old bus dropped us off 26 miles from town in we ran back in.

Sore as heck today from some sprinting.

re: Jazzy

I've only been bitten by a dog once in my life and it was in Pueblo back in the early 80s. The owners name was Antonio Sandoval (not Tony Sandoval)

72 and 75 miles the last two weeks. Haven't done this kind of mileage in a few years but I've had a slow buildup the last few months. Hope it turns into some faster times this summer.

Wow....worth the wait. Expected something Big, just not tsunamish! Great season for Seahawks.

Despite a nagging hamstring issue for the past three months, I ran a 2 miler on the track with my over 50 brethren. We set up two man teams and handicapped each team (me), despite my injury. Winner for morning brews at local pub (with eggs of course). Good motivation.

Tues - 2x 400, mile, 200, 400, 200

Sat - 10:14 two miler, our team won by one sec....ahh

Cheers & Health
