"PRIOR PREPARATION PREVENTS PISS POOR PERFORMANCE"

Nice run! Congratz on your Beat the New Year 5K. Man, you're fast! :)

You the Man.... and my "Hero" !!!!

Back to work. I bet that was hard after so much time off. Nice running the last few days.

I can feel the excitement!

Huge smile on my face!!! :) go get'em Slickster!!!! :)

I would have described it as "sleepy, dark and freezing cold"!

IJR - I have some of my best runs when I don't wake up until I'm done.

I like that you still logged a couple miles on a rest day. :)

Gotta keep movin or they will shovel dirt in my face, ya know what I mean!

Sounds like a perfect way to start off the week.

Nice 10 miler. The weather pattern has been so strange lately. This morning it was so wet and foggy that you'd think it's Seattle!

I got your fog this morning (Monday)...it was thick!

Yawn...Burr...

Did you hurt Missy on yesterday's run?

NICE miles and only two days into the week. What are you goals for Boston?

IJR - it was a cold day. I hear there will be warmer days in the future....

Smooth - Sorry I haven't been able to keep up that great start of the week, stuff happened and I will have to pick up my routine Friday and end the week a little short on my scheduled mileage...

I am hoping to get in shape to run Boston in 3:30:00 or less.

Rhett - Ms. Missy has had an issue with her right knee IT band and it just happened to manifest its ugly presents when we were out on our long run this past Sunday. I sure hope she recovers quickly as I have come to love running with her.... I'm training Missy to do the Ogden Marathon in May.....

Looks like you are nailing those rest days! 3 in a row. That is hard core. :)

A trifecta on the Rest Days!!! I bet you're jumping up and down to hit the road.

Rhett & HbR - I really didn't want to take the last four days off but I suffered a hamstring pull and I wanted to give them a rest. I think the rest has done its job. I got out Saturday for a 6 miler and they feel really good.

Good to hear that you're on the mend and back on the road.

I'm glad the hammys are feeling better. I had to stop running for 4 weeks when I pulled mine on Thanksgiving.

...and just like that, less than 100 days...

Hey Ms. Allie - It's amazing how fast Boston comes around every year. It's just like my birthday, it keeps coming along whether I'm ready or not!

I wish I were running the 2015 Boston Marathon this year, the jackets are purple...I love purple!

Tom,

You know a lot about Boston. Can you tell me if my qualifier last month (Dec.6th, 2015) is good for Boston 2016 since it's past the 2015 entry deadline?

For the 2016 Boston Marathon, qualifying times must be run on or after September 13, 2014

Nice morning run for the 2 of you. What marathon is Missy training for?

Nice running...not you Tom, I'm talking to Missy!

Looks like you got a good week going. Nice mileage. Only 90 days till Boston. It's knocking on your door.

HBR - Missy is training for the Ogden Marathon in May 2015.

IJR - I tell her the same thing every day. I'm just the coach & bodyguard.

Rhett - yes, just ninety days till show time. I'm working on a 50 mile week this week and as you well know, the mileage just continues to grow as the days go by.

Very nice running this week. Good job, coach!

good stuff Slick!!

Your training is getting ready to ramp up so I hope you enjoyed your Rest Day!!!!!

HBR - Oh yes the day of reckoning is upon me! I'm walking that fine line of success or disaster, but I think I've got it handled....I was thinking about superbowl sunday and how I would have liked to have gone to Surf City USA and run the marathon...it's such a fun time there. Maybe next year. Hey, Have you thought about doing Athens Greece in November 2015????? Right after Boston I'm going to start making plans to go!!!

Nice early morning run!!!!!

I'd like to go to Athens this fall but I don't think I'll be able to swing it this year.

Seems like you Boston training is going good...now I'm starting to regret that I didn't enter it this year.

IJR - I wish you were coming to Boston this year, you, HbR, ME and a lot of the rest of the gang. I guess I'll have to nose around and find out who alls going.

This is the week in my training that it ramps up, just like HbR pointed out. I think the highest mileage I'm going log in will be 75 miles a week.

Nice run. That hammy must be feeling better.

I still regret not meeting up with you at Boston last year! Next time for sure!!

You're King of the early morning run, Nice job as always!!!!!

Or late night. ..however you want to look at it!

Tom Slick. ..you show-off. Everyone else only ran 10 today! :-)

IJR - I'm sorry. I'm behind in my schedule.Gotta get a move on....

NICE going! :)

Jumping rope got me through my hamstring injury. It is great exercise. Enjoy the rest day.

We know that wind, rain, nor snow would keep you from running anyways. Glad you had some nice weather though.

....and having a running partner at that time of the day doesn't hurt. My hats off to both of you Good Job!!!!!

Missy is tough, getting out there that early in the rain and wind.

You're awesome coach to Missie! :)

Rhett - Missie is one tough woman. I trained her to pass her physical fitness requirements to pass the Utah Police Academy. Since then she's done a couple of 1/2 Marys and is now moving up to her first full marathon at the Ogden Marathon in May.

Smooth - Thank you so very much for your kind words. I just love to help others reach for the stars and attain their goals.

Wow, that's cool that she's going to do a full. What's the plan for aid stations? Do you stop and put a water cup on the ground and let her drink?

wait! I thought Missy was your dog. Is she actually a police lady?

I'm laughing at myself right now. No offense intended to Missie.

I'd definitely confused!

Rhett that's "Hilarious" I can't stop laughing!!!!

Rhett - that was funny! Yes, Missie is a real live police lady with cuffs and a gun. So don't piss her off, if you know what I mean!

Did you get to do your run at a normal human time today? What's the Boston countdown?

Hey Rhett - I actually got out to run at 10:am. It was 40 degrees and the roads were clear and the air quality was really good.79 days till Boston and many many miles of training......"you know the dance!"

Hey Coach here in Kentucky 9+8=17 either way it's a Good way to start the week off. Great job!!!!!!!

HBR - I guess I'm still tired.....looks like I did 17, my bad!

Hey, when you get as "Old" as we are we want to get credit for every mile you run.

HBR - You are so right! I forgot that I went an extra mile with Missie. It's amazing how the miles fly by when you've got great company.

good job with the LR.

That's about as warm as it was down here this morning. When I ran it was 48 degrees.

Rhett - I really liked the weather, but I do think we need some more winter precipitation....

How do you get Missie to come and run with you at such an early/late time? She must really be dedicated!

IJR - Missie is so very dedicated and she wants to so very well at her first marathon at Ogden in May. Missie has actually been training with me early in the mornings for about the last 2 years. She also works at the same place I do and the running schedule fits into our personal and work schedules the best.

NICE runs! 30 miles already and it's only Wed. You're well on your way to 50+ miles this week! Good job, coach! :)

You've got quite a few running partners these days. Nice mileage week going!!!!!

HBR - It's nice to have a few running buddies... I'm working with and training Camile and Sharile as they are entering in the Police Academy in late April. Missie is training for hervery first Marathon At Ogden Utah, while I'm training for my 52 marathon. I had a pretty good milage week going till took a break on thursday. I'm gunna have to get serious next week now that my injuries are getting under control...

You make it sound so fun! :-)

IJR - Running with Missie is nothing short of a ball! She is totally dedicated to being the best she can be for her first marathon in Ogden!!!

Is Missie on the Blog?

IJR - Missie tells me she's not a blog kinda person. I'm hoping after her first "Mary" I can get her on the FRB with all the rest of us crazy running people!!!

Tell her to get on the blog. The motivation from others is amazing support for us. It attribute it to getting me to all my PRs. No way I would have ever gone sub 3 without it. But don't tell her about the part were I thought she was your dog. :) I don't want her coming and beating me up or anything.

Great start to the week on what sounds like a beautiful day.

Way to get on down the road to "The Greatest Run on Earth"

Nice running Tom!

71 days...i hope you have purchased the finest cigar for the occasion.

Looks like you had a whole heirom running with you yesterday. :)

Nice!

Could you quit posting the number of days until Boston...Your making me regret I didn't enter! :-)

IJR - Can't quit, it serves to motivate me to get out and get my training in.

Rhett - I love running with my girls!!! They keep me going and learning....

Beautiful morning for a run.

Looks like a nice morning for a stroll down the DDMR Nice job.....

Good run....Way to tough it out!!!!!

It's a great feeling to have that behind you!

HBR - It was a good run to get done with. I just ran out of gas and managed to trip and almost re-aggravate my left hammie. But I dodged the bullit and I'm OK and the hammie is not a factor any longer. Now I'm in the ramp-up to higher mileage as Boston's only 60 days away.

IJR - I'm really glad to have that awful run behind me and finally shaking this nagging hamstring injury.....Yahoooo, now it's on to Boston...

You're like the pied piper of running. :-)

IJR - I really enjoy sharing all aspects of running...

Another good start to another great week.

Rhett - I was certainly glad it was a cut back run/week, but I made it.

Sounds like winter is back.

oh yes winter is making a come back, I glad it is but i have certainly enjoyed training in the pleasant weather so far this winter season. "Come on and bring that winter snow!"

whoaz, big temp drop.

say hi to SHP from me next time you're there.

Nice run for you and you're gang in the cold.....

Nice 20 miler to start the week off. Great job in your road to "Bean Town".

That's easily one of my favorite blog profile photos. When I ran Boston my first time, I did not look so "stoked."

HBR - This years build up to Boston has felt like a death march...but I'm gettin' it done!

Jason D, Hey that was my 2007 trip to the Boston Marathon, and that is my finish line photo. I do believe that this year (2007) was my best Boston ever with a 3:29:++. What was your first at The Boston?

Under 50 days! Exciting.

and now it's 48 days...

Nice week!!! The days are counting down to the "Greatest Run on Earth"

Another nice run to start the week off.

HBR - Yes it was one of my best runs since November 2014 when I fell down dodging a bitch driving while texting and paying little or no attention to anything else and a good way to start the week. I'm now going to start working in some meaningful speed work now that all my parts are on board and want to play again. Now I've only got six weeks till show time.

3:30am...the silence...

Beautiful running conditions. Probably a lot like Boston will be.

Rhett - I was thinking the very same thing this morning and hoping that Boston would be 48 degrees at the start with overcast skies and a bit of a breeze from west to east....But you know as well as I, you just never know what your gunna get at Boston until your on the starting line and the politician says go.......it's what you see is what you get!

They might still have piles of snow left from all the snow they've had.

HbR - That's all too true....

that is smart -- you have to get ready for boston from all angles.

nice sunday 16.

Great recovery run today. I'm glad to hear you are putting in the time to build your clam and bean eating capacity. :)

Wish I was joining the Boston fun this year. You are looking good - 1 month to go!

Sounds like a perfect morning.

Nice mileage week... Boston is just around the corner and it looks like you'll be in "Top Form"

nice work, on the miles and the LBs.

That's tough conditions "Heat and Wind". Way to listen to your body and do the right thing on a training run.

Under 4 weeks! Soon you'll be tapering.

Rhett - Oh thank you Lord, Crazy ass taper time is at neigh.....

Clean clear and crisp is nice!

athens -- that's so awesome.

18! You are ready - should be a great race!

Nice run....

Good job!!! Coach!!! Welcome to your taper! So excited for your Boston!!!

So excited for you! 385 days for me to wait for all that good stuff...sigh! :)

Smooth - Let's start planning for Boston 2016 now!

Sweet Slick. That one year we all went to the Sox game, all I really remember is freezing...and having a lot of fun with some good running friends.

Rhett - Hey I went on line and got my Red Sox tickets today for Saturday the 18th....I'll have a Fenway Frank and Sam Adams in your honor!!!

the month of boston -- now the countdown gets real real.

Allie - You get it! I'm already there, and you know what I mean! Now I've got a new number to add to my calendar...it's now 7 months until Athens Greece...

Are you flying out 2 weeks from today?

Rhett - Yep, flying outta here on the 17th

Nice medium range "Taper" run and a good way to start the week off.

HBR - I'm sure glad I'm in taper, it's been a long hard slog through all my problems getting ready for Boston. Now I'm two weeks and a wake up and it's all done but the crying....

It looks like you've had a good, consistent buildup - looking forward to see you crushing it again soon @ Boston!

SlowJoe - Thanks for the atta-boy for Boston. I'm gunna go give it the best I can and hope I can get BQed there for 2016!

I'm getting excited for you Slick. You're going to do yourself proud again at your 12th running of the incredible Boston Marathon.

Almost there. How're the legs feeling?

Rhett - Ya, I'm almost there and the legs are feelin' pretty good. Wish they would have come around months ago so I could have gotten in some meaningful speed training. Oh well, what I see is what I get in 12 days and a wake-up!!! I'm certainly glad that I'm moving into a new age division for the 2016 Boston and I get an extra 15 minutes to grab a BQ for 2016....

NICE! :)

I bet your Bags are already packed... you've done the training now you're just waiting for "Show Time in Bean Town" Stay fresh, rest up and have a good time

Good run to keep things loose and ready for "Show Time"

Now that we are within the 10 days, what're the weather gypsies saying?

Rhett - I haven't looked yet. I 'll start that on Monday

Sounds like perfect temps for a marathon. Hopefully the wind behaves.

Rhett - I really hope the weather behaves, I don't want to fight the hottest day or the coldest day in history of the Boston Marathon....or terrorists or any such thing this year!

Nice way to start your Taper Week off.

HBR - It's the best I could do, I'm still nursing a sore hip flexor AND OLD AGE...

safe travels and have a great run in boston.

ALLIE - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ATTA-BOY SEND OFF, I WILL DO MY BEST, WHICH I'M AFRAID WILL BE A LITTLE OFF MY NORMAL SLOW OLD MAN PACE BUT I WILL TRY TO MAKE IT TO ANOTHER BQ FOR 2016. MY BIB# IS 22051...

Get out there and get 'er done. Have a great trip and a great race.

Thank You Bro-Rhett! Hey, I got tickets for the Saturday Red Sox game...Yahoooo!

You've done the training (PPPPPP)now it's time to reap the benefits. Go and have a good time and bring us back a BQ time. Safe travels!!!!!

Make sure and think of me as you have a cold one and watch the game.

Go get em Tom!

Good luck at Boston

Looking forward to the report!!!

Wish I was there with you.

That's all you got?! Shortest race report ever.

What a ripoff! Details...the weather was crazy -- how did it go??

Sorry things didn't workout the way you had planned but you've got another one in the books. You survived to run another day is all that matters. Rest up and Heal up my friend!!!!

Hey, good report Tom. I know you'll be back, it was just a brutal day. Kinda neat to just sit back and enjoy the run though.

Glad to see you finished and made the best of it. I was worried for a bit; I didn't get any text updates for you until you passed 35k, then they all came at once.

Is sounds like you made the best of a tough day. Good job.

It was a tough day out there. Way to enjoy the best of a bad situation!

RtRP- tHATS BECAUSE i TOOK THE SUBWAY FROM THE START TO THE 35K CHIP MATS. (-:

LOL

rolling in late, but...

congrats on your 12th boston, tom slick.

12th Boston...that's amazing! Hope I can join you on your 13th, 14th or 15th.

I was just wondering how this Boston weather compared to all the others, was it the worst?

2012 was the worst.

My vote for the worst would be 2007 when they almost cancelled the race because of the 100 year winter storm.

2008 was hot though and that was no picnic. 2011 was the best, but that year I was injured and walk jogged so I didn't get to take advantage of the only year of the 5 that I ran it with a tail wind. All the other years it was a head wind.

I'm with Rattletrap the Heat of 2012 was the worst weather day!!!!

I heard it was hotter only once many years ago, but I wasn't there so I'm not counting that one :)

IJR - this years race was fairly miserable but to me there have been worse years. My first Boston in 2000 was the worst cold year for me, it seemed that it was colder and the wind were stronger and in your face the entire race.It was really a torture run, but no matter how cold it was, I'd rather run on a cold day in Boston than a hot day. The Boston on a hot day is worse than anything I can imagine. High heat and high humidity are nothing but a bad combo for running at Boston. I will agree that 2012 was the hottest year for me too. But this is all par for the course at Boston, you never know what the weather is going to be until you toe the mark at the starting line....then it's what you see is what you get. IJR, I'm hoping that I can get my BQ at the Big Cottonwood Marathon in Sept so I can return to Boston in 2016......

Anxiously awaiting the Boston report.

Way to get out and get those legs going....

Sounds like a good plan. Is the race before Boston registration?

Punch that ticket!!

Have you ever ran that marathon before?

Rhett - It's right in the window for the Boston registration.

HBR - I haven't ran this race but I have ran on the course before. I live about 10 minutes away from the canyon entrance. yOU SHOULD COME AND RUN THIS ONE WITH ME AND GET YOUR 2016 BQ!!!

SlowJoe - I just got done punching the ticket, now all I have to do is go ride the ride......Sept. 12, 2015.

That's nice timing.

It looks like you are recovering nicely from Boston.

I'm trying to be good and get a really good recovery

That's smart Keep up the good recovery

Sounds like a "Good Plan"!!!!!

I like it Mr. Slick!

Ouch! Tough thing to happen right before a race. If I'm not mistaken IJustRun broke his clavicle a year or two ago on his bike too. Dangerous things!

What a bummer!

Good job sticking to the recovery plan. Sometimes that is harder than sticking to the race training plan.

Slick, what are you doing to get that quad and hammy better?

Rhett - RICE, stretching, the stick & P T

Way to stay after it. You'll be back and going at 100% before you know it. This rehab stuff is more work than running.

Rhett - HBR, I'm gunna keep after it, even though I continue to gain weight from my lack of running and continuing to eat like there's no tomorrow! I'll be out on the road Sunday for a short easy run to see how well my leg's doing! And yes it is harder to rehab than it is to get out and hit the pavement...I've got 17 weeks till my next mary in September!

Good luck with the rehab! I'm hoping to be racing by October myself!

Nice job on the rehab. It's going to pay off when you are 100% again.

What happened to the left leg?

Nice job on the rehab. I think it's probably tougher to do that than run a 20 miler for a seasoned, grizzled runner such as yourself. Hope Sunday goes well!

Good luck tomorrow!!!! That's another thing about an injury When do you start running again without risking a setback.

I hope the run went well this morning.

I'm with Rhett I hope the run went well this morning.

How's the leg feeling?

The leg is coming along fairly well. But not as fast as I would like. I'm Going to run into my training cycle for the big Cottonwood Mary on Sunday...

Heeee's Back!!!! That is such Good news.

Nice run to start the week off.

Happy Memorial day and a Big Thanks for your service to this country and for the freedom we enjoy as Americans because of men and women like yourself.

Thank you Bro Ronnie. And happy holiday to you and Ms Candy....

Only 16 weeks?! Better get going!

How's the leg feeling?

Yo Ronnie, The leg is doing fine. Matter of fact the last four runs I've been out on, I've returned with no pain! To me that's a good start... Now I have to reverse my weight gaining ways and get back on the straight and narrow and get myself ready for The Big Cottonwood in 15 weeks. Hows your recovery coming along?

My recovery is going really slow!!!!! It's getting to be depressing.

You are so right about a slow recovery, I've been at this one since about the first week of November 2015. I wonder if it has anything to do with my being an old fart! But I am encouraged by my last painless runs. Now I hope I don't blow it up in my Nestle's 5k run this Saturday?

Can you keep that crisp clean cool air up there for another 9 days for me? Thanks.

Sounds like you're back to the early morning runs.Good for you.

I'm glad to hear the injuries are subsiding. Looks like you are getting in nice consistent miles again.

RHETT - The miles are coming in low and slow, but it all seams to be coming together...Yea!

Good race and Good to see your able to run again.

Nice work Tom

nice job, i'm glad you were able to run it. i miss those small town utah 5ks.

good luck at BC!

Where you at Slick?

HBR - I'm under the porch enjoying the shade.....summers here, ya know what I mean!

It sounds to me like you are pretty excited to have Missie back. It 's always nice to have a running partner. Good job getting the yard work done.

Rhett - I hate yard work. I'd rather go run injured! And yes I am really excited to have my running buddy coming back on line.....

Has things going?

That race will be here before you know it. It's good to hear the injury is mostly behind you.

Are you actually going to Greece to run the marathon? I was just there last week and heard a lot of history about it. WOW...that would be fun to run!

The 3:30am sounds a lot more painful than the 70 degrees!

SlowJoe - It was 97 degrees a 4:pm yesterday, so the alternative of 3:30am at 70 is much more inviting to me!

70, that calls for long sleeves around here. :)

Rhett - Ya man, your down there where the summer sun never sets.....and it's always over a hundred degrees...day or night!!!!

Welcome back to Missie. I hope her collar bone is feeling 100%.

Rhett - sure is fun having my runnin' buddie back on the road. Missie is feelin' really good and gettin' better every day...

Some things never change. Good mileage, good company and all very early in the morning!

Happy 4th! :-)

Nice and steady...that's what I need to get back to. :-)

Nice run!!!It's been raining here a lot too. I see you got your running buddy back.

Sounds like great conditions!!

I was thinking as I read the first part of you blog how nice 74 degrees and 11% humidity must have felt like...then saw your "I hate running in the heat" comment. Why do you have to be so negative? :-(

IJR - I guess I just needed to be negative about something and I took it out on the heat. 74 degrees is still on the nice side of a training run, it's when it gets over 80 that I really dislike the heat. I guess thats why I love to get up at 3:30a to get my training runs in, in the cool of the mornings! I will try to adjust my poor attitude as it concerns the heat...

Hey, at least you don't have the humidity to deal with. Good training run!

Are you still doing the 10K July 24th? You already have it crossed off on your list of upcoming races.

Rhett - actually I have cancelled doing some of my old favorites so as to maximize getting to being injury free before getting to BC and Athens.

Good for Missie! I'll be happy when I can target a race or two again.

IJR - Wish you were going to Athens with me!!!!! Ya know?

That would be soooo much fun!

Looks like you're back in the groove. Good on you!!!! Nice week going.

hbr - it feels more like a rut than a groove, but I think if I keep with my plan it will all come together into a groove.....

I slept in...but was up late last night at a roping competition so I have an excuse. :-)

IJR - How did you do in the competition?

Did you win a belt buckle?

Sounds like perfect running weather to me!

I just need a few rest days!

IJR - I know how you feel.

That "little block" isn't so little if it is 3 miles around.

Nice run Bro.

You deserve some rest after that 18-miler!

Your Lookin good Slick, good luch on your BCM. Kick some Butt my friend.

You're on the downhill slope to the BC!

IJR - It feels like I'm just pouring on the bigger weekly mileage...44 days till showtime...

there was a time in my life when i was doing 3:30am 'early morning' runs. at this point in time i consider it to be the middle of the night. :) good job getting it done early -- it's fun to be out at such a quiet hour.

BC is coming fast. good luck with the rest of your training.

allie - Thank you Ms.Allie....

Nice job getting out so early. What is DDMR?

Your blog entry sounds like the beginning of a cheezee horror novel.

IJR - Ya, that's what I'm thinking when I get out the front door some mornings....

Looking good. Marathon #53 is going to be a good one.

Nice solid week!!! :-)

Way to "Cowboy Up" !!!!!! Nice run.

Oh man, that sounds rough. Way to get it done!
