Another Progressive run.  5.99 miles done at 4:45pm in 54:30 at 906/mile. 

Thus Easy miles…the pace was between MP (8:35/mile) and Easy (9:35/mile). 

Mark A. recently emailed me (Athlinks member).  He is planning to run the Colchester Half Marathon also.  We arranged to run together Saturday for a ten to fourteen miler at 9:15 to 9:30/mile pace (or around that pace).

Good running. What's your goal for a half right now?

flatlander,

Hi.

My goal for the Colchester Half Marathon would be 8:00/mile pace for the distance. There is 770 feet elevation for that course.

That is probably my dream goal...I really do not think I can carry that pace given the elevation. And - I have never run 8:00/mile pace for a Half Marathon...best is 8:09/mile.

8:18/mile might be more realistic for the course...In general, if I could find a flat marathon, 8:00 mile would be the goal.

Currently...I am simply aiming to increase my VDOT by one unit each month...the better race times will come if I can actually do that.

Hope all is going well with you and your family.

Are we friends on Athlinks? Look me up.

Burt,

I did not know you were an Athlinks member. I added you as a friend. I thought that I would need to wait for you to accept...but you were added to my list instantly. Added Allie also.

I did not know the relays were that long - in the 25-29 hour range! But those relays and ultras...I am kind of entertaining doing those at some point.

Don't you like that we don't need friend confirmations? I wouldn't have any if it weren't so. You should totally do a relay.
