I'm trying to think of something exciting or interesting to report from today's run but I can't. I got up, went running (every mile was within a couple of seconds of each other) and now I'm here blogging about it. I finished my 7.10 mile run at 7:10 which is a little interesting.

Andy, you're cracking me up with all this "I'm boring" talk. I do like the 7.10 at 7:10 twist though. Here is what is intersting to me (and amazes me). From what I gather, you always train this way and you are so darn fast! I was never able to start getting fast until I started doing all the speed work, hills, tempo runs, etc.

Great pace! Nice work. It's hard to report anything good when the weather is cold.

Well as boring as it might seem to you. I am so happy you were able to get out and do it. And your alot tougher then I am. I am still licking my wounds. Good job man.

How did that happen? You finished your 7.1 mile run at 7:10!!! :) You just put one foot in front of the other and then WHAM there it is, a magical moment in your running history which is by the way INCREDIBLE!!! Like Forest Gump said: "Ya never know what you're gonna get." Keep on keep on, Andy the Steady Speedy man!!!

Rhett - When I'm seriously training for a marathon I have one day a week that includes speed work (either a tempo run or V02 max work). This year I didn't do as much because I was either tapering for or recovering from a race. The lack of speed work has done more damage psychologically than physiologically for me. You can accomplish a lot with just base mileage but there are definitely psychological advantages on top of the physical benefits to doing speed work.

Andy,

Sing it brother!!! I agree with your perspective on speed work.

You're a riot!!

7:10, huh? That's pretty cool!! :)

(what were you doing at 7:10 this evening? 7.1 pullups per chance ... or at least 7.1 attempts???)
