3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) 

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

AM: beautiful sunrise easy run along the St. Charles River. My legs felt pretty good from the start. The birds were chirping, the air was crisp, the streets were quiet the only un-zen thing about my run were my Boost moon shoes which make me feel like tigger. I must say, they feel pretty sweet on recovery runs! :) 8:45 min/mi AP.

PM: 4 easy miles on the treadmill at 1% incline set to 8:41 min/mi pace with 10x0.1 mile strides at 6:00 min/mi pace. Well, the last one was a 0.2 mile stride just because. :)

Glad you enjoyed your run.

Never heard of those shoes. They sound cushy.

They were just released last week and supposedly the foam is supposed to "revolutionize" the marathon because of the bounce. I just think it's fun to change things up. :)

are those the adidas shoes? i talked to a guy who wore them at the woodlands marathon -- he was pretty excited about them, and he bounced over my head like five times during our conversation.

nice workouts today.

Yes, they are the new Adidas. Was his cadence like 36? He's a cheater if he wore those in the marathon!! Kidding... :)

From allie on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 07:56:53 from 161.38.221.168

haha...yes, he admitted he was a cheater. he said they felt so good that he thinks they should be banned from the marathon. :)
