Congrats on your race even if it wasn't the time you were hoping for. I think summer racing is hard - sun, heat, humidity - it takes a toll. I'm confident you'll work out the kinks for Chicago.

Stopping in to say that tonight's training run scares me. I'm gonna give it a go and remind myself that miles go by faster when at a faster pace. But looks like I'll be drinking as much Daniels T as a badger. Maybe the tempos will feel like rest breaks
8/23 1mi WU + 3 mi Tempo + 1 mi DT + 1 mi Tempo + 1 mi DT + 1mi Tempo + 1 mi CD = 1:35:10

Does that mean I should be afraid of what he has in store for me during Dopey training? Ha ha.I was thinking that @roxymama 's run looked suspiciously like a few of the upcoming runs that Billy has for me.
Nah, just do all the Easy Runs and the hard looking ones become easy too. Sort ofDoes that mean I should be afraid of what he has in store for me during Dopey training? Ha ha.
Yikes! He doesn't have me doing anything like this (yet)!
You can and will succeed. The Tempo will probably feel like a relief for sure.
Holy YIKES!!!
You can totally do it!!
You’ve got this!

I realize how anticlimactic it was not to post that I DID IT!!!

Thank god for marathon tempo starting with a 10. A lil slow to start, but billy was right about the tempo feeling easy after T. And the T...wasn't so bad. Very much looking forward to a few 6 milers now!!!!
G-girl is so freaking cute.
The house is coming right along! How fun!!
Sorry that your ankle is acting up but it's nice that you have a biking option.
I feel you with the biking. When I had my recent setback I had to go back to the bike from the elliptical I was super bummed. I'm the same as you - I just tolerate biking. It's better than nothing, but definitely not my first choice. I hope things go well on your run tomorrow! Fingers crossed some rest from running did the trick.
I really want an excuse to dress like a 1920's flapper, but I do not have a walk in closet.
Noted about NutJob2...I've noticed that on netflix but now I know to skip it for roxykiddo
Hope that foot decides to play nice sooner than later, good committment though on getting on the bike and completing NutJob2 (I don't know that I'd have that strength)
I like casual biking outside, but have never found it enjoyable indoors. But, hey, I learned to like the treadmill so you never know!
You have a roof! That’s an awesome milestone in building a house!
Good luck with running tomorrow. I hope time off has helped your ankle.
