no, i insist...your legs will be victorious. if you want i can just let you win, i feel like you need the win for your ego more than i do. you did motivate me to go 19.6 today...so i think the trash talking is actually good cause i'm going to weigh in the low 150's for the race in oct. i really appreciate all you've done for me! perhaps you're a tiny bit nervous you can't pull out the victory?

honestly, the talk has been fun but all i'm going for is under 1:20. That is my goal so if you go faster than 1:19 you'll for sure win and i'll be happy for you.

I'm not at all certain of the outcome. Henry is looking super strong as well. He is doing workouts like 5:45 pace for 3 miles and 6:22 pace for 8 miles. Will be interesting to see how his 5k today went. It is a lot about the weight. I was 152-154lbs for my 1:18 and I had no idea I could do that at the time. After losing the weight I put in a few 5 milers sub 6 pace and only went to that half because a bunch of other people wanted a ride. I thought maybe just maybe i could go sub 1:20 so I tried and at mile 10 I was like, okay, I could probably do sub 1:18 if I desperately wanted to but sub 1:19 is pretty much in the bag. You have done well to stay in good shape and a good weight between serious training periods. So it should be much easier to get down to that weight and in race shape.

Oh, and whatever you do, I'm not holding back so good luck :)

high praise! thankss lol :P.. unfortunately the 5k is in another week. today was a long run, it sucked, but it's over.

the weight will come down, no worries.

in other news, i start working tuesday, but it shouldn't hinder the training that much.. next workout will be wednesday, a fartlek. i think it's 4x4min or something in an 8 mile run. something like that..

keep it up! you've got the second highest weekly mileage of the month on this blog i think lol

actually, last week you had the second highest mileage of the week i think, and now you have 5th highest mileage of the month. still boss lol
