It's over, man. Let her go.

I'll be checking for some miles first thing in the morning :)

Yeah, and if there aren't any, we're bothing coming down to kick your margarine.

Speak for yourself buster. That sounds messy, and slippery, and weird...

Yeah, you didn't mention what the penalty would be for failure. That should be part of your Sunday post.

RT - realize that I don't run at 4am, so you'll have to wait until the next day for my posts. Or atleast until after Midnight since I should be back from my runs by then. If not, check the cemetery.

Burt - kick my margarine? Sounds kinda soft, but with all your P90X training, I don't doubt you could kick my whatchamacallit.

Joe - No penalties need to be identified when you have no intention of missing your goals. Just for you, here's my punishment for failure this week: I have to eat a heaping bowl of ice cream. :-)

I thought you were going to turn over a new leaf and be a morning runner. I did 14 miles and still made it to work by 7:00am today.

Well, I was thinking about it. :-) It's still on my to-do list. The difference between you doing 14 and me doing 14 is that it takes me twice as long. :-p I thought about it at about 5:30am this morning but then just hit the snooze. Today was a work at home day, but the rest of this week, I'll be biking it to work while getting my runs in too. I didn't ride at all last week, so this will be a new experience. I'm hoping that my legs will hold up. They were a little tired yesterday, but feel much better today. I'm shooting for 6 days this week, so we'll see how it goes. I need to get some longer runs in than the 3-4 miles I've been doing during the week.

When I was training for the Tacoma Marathon in '07 I was biking 16 miles to work every day. On 3 of those days I would run 7 miles first. Oh yeah, it was also uphill both ways, and snowing, and I had no shoes, or coat :)

Good luck with the week!

RT - Wow, you must have taken the same route my dad did when he walked to school. I hope you were nice and said something kind like, "You're almost there!"

Thanks Steve!!

Actually, I was going to say that about your 27.5 miles this week. Don't worry Wes, you're almost there :)

Haha Yes, I'm almost there! I have to save myself for my Wednesday workout, though. It's a 12:00 all-out run on the TM to calculate our V02Max, then from that we'll be given some suggested paces for our different types of runs. I did the test almost a year ago for a fitness eval at the gym. I did OK, but I hope to do much better this time around. In about a month as it gets closer to my birthday, I'll do the fitness eval again to see if my strength, flexibility, etc. have improved from last year.
