I forgot you live out in the sticks. Yes having to drive to get to a 5k and run it for fun is not really fun. I never ran 5ks when i was out in the sticks, now at least i can pick 5ks that literally start less than .5 mile from my condo. Those are the best. I warm up jog there and don't have to get up early. i am not sure on the 10 miler how fast it fills up. i have not signed up yet either. i am still toying with doing the triple peach, the PRR, the 10 miler and then the half on thanksgiving. I am leaning towards doing it. i really need a half marathon to do and for a change i will be in town for thanksgiving.
Living in the sticks blows. Most "local" race require at least a 30 minute drive.
I forget how spoiled I am living in the middle of DC - I can't imagine driving further to a race than it takes to run.
What a great month for both you and Barkley! I am so impressed by your consistent 100 miles+ months! And also, I could sure go for a cruise right now....
PS How is it already May?
Cruise looks like fun, I really need to do one of those some day. Your dog looks awesome, my wife only lets us get ankle biters, Yorkies and Shih-Tzus don't make the best running partners. And congrats on 30 months of 100+ miles, that's incredible!
I love cruising!!! Were those ruins in Costa Maya?
Your pacing is really good! And 150+ is tough for any speed workout in the spring, as I am finding out.
Thanks for letting me know where those ruins are. We are taking the kids on a cruise at the end of the month and are seeing the ruins in costa maya. Chacchoben I think is the name?
It seems like we just got rid of the heat and humidity! I’m whimping out this year with a treadmill. I love the Americana Mickey theme for the half. I can’t wait to see the medals! Good luck with the sale of your home!
Great job mostly sticking to the plan despite the open house stuff!
Also ... I'm with you on the themes. I mean, I don't totally get the connection to food/wine, but I think they're good themes and I like them a lot even without a super strong food connection. I'm super excited to see what those medals look like.
What a week!
For those O/U coming up, I did my first one this week. I'd say the pace should be more-so between CV and I. So for you, somewhere in the 6:59-7:32 range. And probably closer to 7:15-7:25 as a tighter window. I think the I pace might be too aggressive. Just something to keep in mind in the moment. Do what feels "hard" in the moment as you try to increase the pace mid-T interval.
Crazy week, eh?!! You do know we’re in month 5....right! Lol
I’m glad you escaped snakes, dogs and concussions!! Lol!
Yay to upcoming Disney vacays and Mickey pizza hats!!!
Wow, those splits and your average pace on your other runs are impressive! I need to quit goofing off.
