So true....that is one thing that keeps me running. It is so hard to get back into it. Kinda hard this time of year. The weather here has been so cold and air quality has been horrible! I avoid the treadmill as much as possible but I did do a few miles on it last week.

Ran 4 miles on the treadmill. Kids had a 2hr delay so I took advantage. Ran slow (9:13) for almost the whole mile and did 1 min strides each mile at an 8 pace with a total of 4. Felt good. It actually felt better to run the 8 pace then to run slower. Looks like my legs are coming back from my month off.

Well confirmed.....Broken Rib!!! Hurts like hell. Ran 3 miles this am before I knew it was broken. Started at a 9:40 pace for 1 mile, went to a 9:30, then a 9:22. The last 1/2 mile sped up to an 8:27 just to get done and the last 1/4 was a 7:30. It felt better to run faster. As soon as I stopped the pain set in again. We shall see how it goes. Leave it to me to break ribs!!!

Amy, thank you so much for helping me with my survey. I actually added a question to my survey because of your response. THANK YOU so much!!! (I will add your answer to the new question: Do you have children?)

Thanks again.

Awesome run! Get some sleep though! :)

Just started talking and time and miles got away from me before I knew it I was holding 9's and feeling great. Finished with an avg pace of 8:58 time was 44:54.

Good job on the longer run. Nice trail you get to run on here! I think I remember you, you just need to post a pic and then I could have said hi!

From AmyBQ on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 17:37:23 from 68.55.192.111

Jeff,

I would love to post a picture however, when I try to upload one it tells me the photo is to large and to compress it. When I do that it doesnt work :)

Sorry Ill keep trying. You did a great job and I told you as you were running by. Im very impressed with your time. I wish I could push myself that hard! Ill keep working on Boston this year for now lol.

Go get that BQ, you can do it! Keep in touch and take tips and ideas from the fellow FRB'ers to help with your training, lots of good advice here.

Thank you. I can talk and hold a conversation for until I hit a 8:30 pace then it gets hard for me to even listen. I see you have run Boston twice. Any words of wisdom for me. I want it so bad! I need to hold an 8:30 to qualify. Thanks,

Ran Chesapeake Cross Country Race in the rain and mudd with my 11 year old daughter, her 11 year old best friend, and my 9 year old son. Started slower around a 9:20 pace (Colleen and I stayed with the girls because this was supposed to be an easy day for us) each mile they started to go a little faster. Around mile 2 my daughter took off.......winning first place in her age group. She finished in 28:06 an 8:56 pace. Her best freind was 50 seconds behind her, and my son was about 1 minute behind us! They did great. My son took 1st place in his age group also and was the youngest runner.

After the race I came home and did 3 more on the treadmill.

SO PROUD OF BOTH OF MY CHILDREN

Thank you. I dont think that "on fire" is really the word. (It hurt really bad). You did a great job today as well. I wish I could get that speed up. Trying so hard to qualify for Boston and I think im going about it in the wrong way. :( I ordered Jeff Galloways new book "Qualify for Boston" and it hasnt helped me as much as I thought.

With deep pool running I wear an aquajogger vest and tether myself in place in the deep end of the pool. Although I am doing it because I am rehabilitating my achilles, it can be a good form of cross training. I try to do sets of intensive intervals. Hopefully, it will help with the transition back to running.

As to your goal to Boston Qualify. Keep up the consistency. I think that helped me improve as much as anything, whether it was consistent running or running mixed in with cross training. Best of luck.

Just wondering how you are doing. So ... how are you doing??

From AmyBQ on Sun, Jun 06, 2010 at 20:01:58 from 68.55.192.111

Hi Teena. Thanks for checking on me. Im doing ok. About to start really Boston training. Im registered for two marathons. Steamtown in October and Philly in Novemeber. Two shots at it. UGGHHH Ran two races this weekend but havent had any time to put my workouts on the calander. Ill do it tonight while watching TV. Ran my fastest 1/2 today on ALL hills in 93 degree weather! Holy crap was it hard! Especially since I ran a race called "The Dreaded Druid Hills" the day before!! Averaged 8:53s and Finished in 1:56:26. My legs are hurting today. Made me question if I could do Boston.....Im going to give it my all. Any advice??

From Teena Marie on Sun, Jun 06, 2010 at 20:19:49 from 174.52.45.85

PRing on a hilly course in that kind of heat is nothing to downplay! Seriously ... 93 degrees and hills and you still PR'd???? YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

Sounds to me that you are right on track for Boston (especially considering that you did not taper for that race).

Can't wait to read all of the details.

You got this! :)

When the website for this race said "This is not a PR course" I should have just turned off the computer, but hey why not right???? I have lived near Baltimore almost my whole life and have NEVER seen hills like this! The first few were just rolling.....so it tricks you into heading out too fast, but then....holy crap!!!! The mountains come. Had fun though. Just did what I could. It was also hot and sticky out but nothing compared to the heat and humidity I was about to expericance on Sunday!! Avg pace 9:30 Didnt even come close to my PR!

OMG was it hot!! And as if hot wasnt enough the sun beating down on you made it ten times worse. Zooma was supposed to be a race that starts out at the Navel stadium goes through Annapolis for about 2 miles, over the Navel Acadamy Bridge and onto the B&A trail for about 4 miles where its flat and shaded.......nope!!! Race day I find out they change the course. Fun times. Over the bridge, up some more hills to the trail, only on the trail for about 2 miles, and back over the bridge! WHAT??? Ok so very hot and now ALL hills. I found this very sick. I started the race and by mile 1 was sweating and had thrown in the towel. Mentally I quit. Walked and ran in the hot sun, pouring water over my head at every water stop until I hit the 10 K mark. I looked at my watch and asked myself what the hell was I doing???? Started halling ass. I kept pouring water over my head (2 cups over my head and 1 in my mouth). My watch started beeping and quit working so I had no idea where I was miles or time so just kept running. Finished in 1:56:26. Only took 2 1/2 minutes off of my PR but hey at least I ran LOL. Makes me wonder what I can do on a flat cool day.
