AM - 9.6 miles up to work. Legs felt good, hammies are a little tight so I need to make sure to roll them out really good later.

Andrea is off to Brazil today! She drummed it into my head to not doing anything stupid while she is gone. I guess that means no triple-workout days? :-) 

PM - 9.2 miles home.

Some goodies from Saucony arrived - new marathon flats for Boston, and track spikes that I can't wait to take out for a spin... 

 

Andrea's new kicks - spike up or stay slow!

And no free-style parachuting either!

Uhhh I'm not allowed to do ANYTHING! :-)

Except extreme roller-blading

and maybe a little disc-golf -- with elbow and knee guards of course ;-).

Ought oh!! Hopefully she attached a GPS to keep tabs on you.

I was thinking that something like this might sufice...

I'm going to get that bubble once we're about 2 weeks out from Boston :-)

Great miles! Your recovery time is unreal. At least you've got March Madness to keep you from getting too bored while Andrea is away. :)

From Jake K on Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 10:52:44 from 155.100.226.54

Yeah I've got Syracuse for about 15 more minutes of action before they totally blow it, as usual :-)

At least the Suns are winning again.

Obviously I just root for teams with orange uniforms.

Yeah, they'll be in town on the 4th and 24th of April. Is one of those days better for you than the other? I'll try to mooch some tickets.

From Jake K on Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 10:59:25 from 155.100.226.54

24th! lets do it!

From Tara on Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 11:56:50 from 159.212.71.17

Jake, you get a poem.

His name is Jake, he's not an easy take!

He runs so fast, he'll run right past with a blast!

With a Saucony sponsorship in hand, he uses his connections to race across the land.

From coast to coast, the other runners are toast!

"Don't be Stupid" were the last word he heard, but in his head he said, "That's absurd!"

While the cat's away, the mice will play. But to Jake, that means three a day!

Tara that's called an 'ode to Jake' and I believe you just scored an A on that one LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Jake K on Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 16:13:35 from 155.100.226.54

Tara - I don't know what the equivalent of a Pulitzer Prize is for poetry, but you just won it!

From Andrea on Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 16:47:07 from 74.95.210.210

Don't encourage him to do 3-a-day workouts!! I'm still not sure how I feel about 2-a-days!

That definitely made me laugh though!

From allie on Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 12:27:17 from 97.126.223.167

ooooooooo. love the spikes.

From Tara on Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 14:44:21 from 75.169.142.43

Thanks! I do think yours was the best I wrote. Ode to Jake!:)

From Nate on Sun, Mar 18, 2012 at 14:11:41 from 67.252.184.93

I think you need to rock the pink spikes for any track races. Pink on a dude= means business!
