Fri 6 Miles tempo.
Sat 8.5 miles mountain trails.
Sunday is my off day.
After 7 weeks off in Aug/Sep, I'm starting to feel pretty decent again. 41 for the week, which is the most in over 2 years for me. Kinda pathetic when you think about it.

Nice going DFED!!!Looks like your ready for Philly
1500master,
Yep, live in the Portland area. Moved here 15 years ago from Chicago. Haven't regretted it for one minute.
Do almost all of my long runs on Leif Eriksen, and do track work at either Lincoln H.S. or Duniway.
Where you at now?
I am jealous of all who live in Oregon..one day...one day Ill get there
Living in Thousand Oaks, CA. Not too bad of a place, lots of fireroads to run on here.
Spent many a day at Duniway - a great mid-city track open to all and has some very talented runners about. I still carry a piece of Lincoln's dirt track (circa 1974) in the skin around my knee, earned in a finish line fall - can't remember if I was just clumsy or was throwing myself for a win. Ran well at the heyday of Cascade Runoff. My training buddy and I frequently drove up to Mt. Hood or up the gorge to go run trails. As OMBTS just commented, a great place to be a runner.
There is a reasonable chance I will be moving to Arlington Heights, I hear Chicago has a very good running scene, just cold in winter.
Thanks Fitz -- I'd like to take a shot ot doing Philly in under 2:40. However, I haven't done any runs longer than about 17 miles for several months. Given the short amount of time left before the race, I figure I'm better off focusing on building my tempo runs as opposed to grinding out longer stuff.
Anyone out there have any success in running a full marathon by emphasizing fairly high volumes of tempo-paced running in lieu of LSD runs? My past several weeks have been about 55-65 mpw, with one longish tempo session/race, and 1-2 track sessions of mile or two-mile repeats at about half-mar pace.
Wow, big crowd of us old folks on here this week.
OMBTS, sorry to hear you're hurting again. Check out those
Owen Anderson exercises. There's a link to them somewhere
on this site. They worked wonders for me, after battling a
stubborn tendinitis for a few years.
As for me:
Sat. 3 sets of 1200, 800, 400 W/400j, 8 miles total
Sun. 12 miles easy on some flat, local trails
Sat: Shoreline XC race(SF Bay Area). The competition up front was stiff: Dan Nelson in first, Rich Hanna in second.
Sunday: 18
