Woke up this morning with a scratchy throat. Hopefully will pass soon. Did 5 miles at marathon pace and I actually felt pretty good. Legs were a bit tired, though, from yesterday's run. Here are the splits: 9:05, 9:03, 9:18, 9:03, 9:12 AP 9:08.49

So, can you just step out the door and run MP miles without warm up time?

Those were some nice paced miles this morning! Hope your throat feels better soon.

Hey Sno...oh I'm smiling again. Well, I suppose you can walk out the door here and jump into MP w/o w/u because of the warm temperature, but that's not the situation here. The honest truth is that my partner is a 24 year old who doesn't understand that a 51 year old body needs to warm up! I tell her lets start out slow and work up to MP, but it just doesn't click, and then the competitive person in me can't just let her pull away...thus my lack of reasonable w/u time. I think for the marathon in July, I'll have to w/u a bit on my own before I get to the start line!

CL...throat does feel a bit better today (Wed). Took Wed off and will resume tomorrow. Gotta get those miles in for the week!
