Happy London Marathon Day! ok week as I started to taper for Boston, including:

Sunday 59:43 for cherry blossom 10-mile (flat course, some headwind coming back around Hains Point [mile 7.5 to 9+] but not that bad) for 170th OA and 5th M50-54

Weds. 15 miles steady

Sat. 10 miles with 25:00 fairly hard

Race was 1:40 slower than last time I ran it two years ago, but in light of recent workout times I was actually pleasantly surprised a little. Better still, our mixed masters team from Mont. County RRC finished first in our team category, though that was attributable more to Mark Neff (2nd M50+) and Cindy Conant (dominant win in F50-54).

Have a great week,

Dave

Well done Dave. Good success to you in Boston too.

Was able to run outdoors most of the week, just one treadmill session. Streak continues. The desert is in full bloom, such a great time of year in AZ.

Have a good week!

re: 1500Master

looking at the heat sheets for mt. sac, i noticed ahrlin's name for the b heat of the 10k--you'll be racing my 20 y/o son, so be kind.

i, on the other hand, have had more beers and twix bars post-carlsbad than miles--and i am NOT exaggerating. finally did a run today where i did not feel my calf/achilles, but no real races on the horizon...

I am coming off two weeks of mercy running, as this cold is getting the best of me. I'll be running the 10k, but I have no lofty expectations now. Hope to not get last.

Good day

Plugging along now with four consecutive 60+ weeks (it has been six months since). Training for half marathon in three weeks. Did I just say that? Nice to have a goal again though.

Tues ... 5(600, 400)

Fri...7 mile tempo (5:40's)

Thinking hard about "downsizing" into a lot smaller home. Fun to look at waterfront places.

Health to you all

re: Northwest master

Shape was very good until I overworked Wednesday night and was under the weather for my key race. About 60 for the week.

Wednesday morning, with only a lap warmup, I did 4x800 (400j) in 2:32,2:34,2:32,2:28. Started to warm up about halfway into this and could have continued to drop time probably.

Saturday 5000m track 16:45. terrible race, took a four hour nap Friday evening and was just lethargic the last few days. 5:12,5:21,5:35!. Prior to getting sick, I honestly think that 16 flat was reasonable, given a 5:12,5:09,5:02 workout the previous week, but the legs felt totally different then.

Su 15.5

Am somewhat under the weather and hoping I'll be back to 100% by the end of the week.
