good new Adrenalines run 5 mi 00:47 09:28 pace
Tried on my last pair of new shoes, the Brooks GTS Adrenalines. Very comfortable, cushioned run, although oddly not very comfortable to walk in. Even though they're a half size large, as usu... read more

I have been home sick with chest cold(s) for the better part of the last 2 weeks, but the arrival of new shoes got me out the door. My husband doesn't know it yet, but he bought me 3 pairs of... read more

An ultrarunner friend recommended these shoes to me, so I tried them out with my 20% coupon from RRS. Still not sure about them...they're heavier, the heel feels too high, and they're a ... read more

almost better 5 mi 00:47 09:20 pace
Almost over the cold that won't die. Went in a little late to work, which was a good call, because the run definitely improved my attitude. I was ready to go head to head with a certain arro... read more

good spring virus recovery run 3 mi 00:28 09:17 pace
Have been laid low these past 4 days with a nasty virus and chills that kept me from running. Ventured out for the first time today, but it felt harder than it should have. Looking forward to get... read more

Almost missed this! Great race, under 2hours, glad you enjoyed it... I didn't make it to the race, my cousin who was supposed to meet at 8am for a ride ended up showing up at 8:40am! Man, latinos, when are they going to learn to be on time? :)

good pre-work easy miles 4 mi 00:38 09:31 pace
A little pre-race achiness this morning, as if my body knows I'm going to haul it to DC soon. Must focus on getting more sleep somehow. My usual 6 hours isn't cutting it.

Yes, 7 am. I know, don't remind me. Hardly worth going to bed, but I'll have my French press with me, and espresso gels. :) I may still be running even when you wake up. Lots of walkers in this race.

good easy miles 3 mi 00:29 09:41 pace

alright intervals 5 mi 00:45 08:54 pace
10 x 400's at about 8 min. pace with rest intervals at 10 min. pace. Not much of a taper in this program. A FB friend posted an irritating John Kiefer article that running is bad for women, ... read more

Ridiculous. I think if you're a woman who gains weight after you start running, it's because you're just not eating right. I have hypothyroidism & did not start running until long after it was diagnosed - and I would wonder if the meds I took for endometriosis didn't have something to do with it. Anyway, fantastic intervals!

I know! I am also mildly hypo (subclinical), like many middle-aged women, and I suspect it is widely underdiagnosed, since a thyroid panel is not routinely ordered unless a patient complains of symptoms. Endocrinologists also complain that the Quest norms for elevated TSH are way off. I did learn some interesting and more credible points about hypothyroidism and running in this article: http://www.runnersworld.com/health/how-does-endurance-training-affect-your-thyroid-and-vice-versa

blah Recovery run 5 mi 00:46 09:09 pace
Had to run this morning to clear my head a bit. Can't stop thinking about an innocent 8 year old boy, the same age as my son, and all the families affected.

Nice workout! I'm ready to try something other than Adrenalines but afraid of the whole fit factor...

@Vira: Yes, that's my problem too. The Adrenalines are so comfortable. Only the Kinvaras work better for me, but not for runs > 13.1.
