100,000 miles for AT

[allies]

@kamper - hoping to a speedy recovery

+5 today... at easy pace... which was, strangely enough, 6:40s after this killer weekend. Noice.

jeez allies, way to ruin my enthusiasm at my speedy 7:20s today! Isn't it great when easy means sub-7 though?

I did 3 easy miles this am and another 5 easy miles this pm. Ran the evening session in my new Adidas AdiZero Bostons, which if I like enough I will run Boston in. They felt pretty good so far!

Disappointing to hear man. Hope you recover quickly.

Thanks. I'm not too bummed about it though. I'll do some biking on the weekends and during the week I'll have some extra time to be more productive in other areas

It was sort of a psychological win to get the 30k finished so I feel like when I come back, it'll just take a bit of time to get back to what I know I can do, rather than having a big challenging distance that I haven't been able to handle.

... after a long first day at Fleet Feet. That place gets crazy on Saturdays!!

Congrats on this, btw. I've often thought that a running store would be a neat place to work.

@ allies: Noice running brah!

@ Scorch: I've heard great things about the Bostons. Man, Boston is getting closer and closer. You must be really excited!

6 miles for me tonight. One more hard week and then I taper slightly next week for a tune-up 10k.

6 miles in the sleet this afternoon. But it was fun overall. Any run on the trails, even if it's miserable outside, is a good run.

[SWScorch]

another 10 miles in my Bostons. They're weird; they feel really firm at first, but as the run progresses I must get used to them because they feel fine after just a few minutes. IB, yeah, less than 3 weeks until Boston! This is my last high mileage week (going to try to hit 80 again) then it's taper time! I feel like I haven't put enough work in to start tapering yet but I also think I'm in better shape than I originally thought. So this will be interesting!

@ Mega: Sleet? When it's almost April? Geez, well good on ya to get the mileage in.

@ Scorch: Oh I think you've done a fair bit Mr. Mileage Whore . I'm sure you'll be fast. I'll be watching for you on the TV coverage!

4 miles this morning, 9 tonight.

I did 7 yesterday, with a couple at 5:40 for tempo.

Did 5 easy today as well

Attempted some 1000m repeats tonight but ran like ass . Apparently my legs are still hungover from the 2.5 hour party on Sunday, even with a couple of easy days after.

I was aiming for 6x1000 but only made it to 4 (3:12, 3:12, 3:17, 3:21) - legs were flat. Will really back the pace off the rest of the week and taper extra next week.

10 miles total. 19,058

I ran 13 miles to the gym yesterday and met my fiancee there. We lifted upper body and then she thankfully drove me back. Good day.

Glad it's just not me. My legs were pretty damn heavy today. Was supposed to do 5 at marathon pace but ended up ~5s slower per mile, and that was a struggle.

I think I have some type of stomach bug too, which probably isn't helping the situation.

Want things to start turning around next week before I start tapering.

6.5 total, will round down to 6.

Next up, per allies request, 25,000 miles!

When I read this I thought you were calling the people logging miles in this thread your "allies" and just now noticed there's a guy with that nickname and that he probably was the one who made the request

 

[SWScorch]

4 yesterday and 6 today, not feeling very mileage whore-ish in this god-awful heat. Everybody else loves it, but when the mercury climbs over 70, I'm done. It was 83 today and I felt like death. Hope tomorrow morning is nice and cool; I gots me a race to run!

LOL...I didn't think of it like that. Yes, allies did make the request.

I think if I wanted to be silly I would have called everyone my "comrades" :awe:.

That sucks man. Yea, things seem to get more difficult right near the peak before you start tapering. Get over that stomach bug.

10 miles last night and 15 today. Legs are doing much better although now I have an inkling of shin splints to keep an eye on.

My eldest and I got in a 10 miler this morning (7am) and we're gonna get our 12'er done early tomorrow also. The days are too awesome to "waste" by waiting until it later to go running. I saw a funny thing today out at my trail: fisherman dressed in camo while fishing... wtf? Do the fisherman really need to hide from the trout?

joining the fun... getting back into running to train for the Ragnar Relay DC in September & the Army Ten Miler in October

[Megatomic]

Welcome to the fun Shockwave.

The boy and I did our intended 12 today, even in the morning it was hot out. My daughter ran her longest run ever today, she went 7 miles, the first 3 of which were at my pace. I was really proud of her. I think she's gonna be ready for the Medved Madness (15 trail miles, May 2nd) on time.
