blah Cellcom Green Bay Marathon 26.2 mi 04:53 11:11 pace
This just in: Marathons are hard.
Nevertheless, completed No. 4. It wasn't pretty and it certainly wasn't fast, but I'm no less proud of the accomplishment.
Ran the first 11.5 wit... read more

good Evening stroll 3.01 mi 00:29 09:32 pace
Very comfortable run as the sun was going down. One more shorty before Sunday.

RUN
alright 'Round town 3.06 mi 00:29 09:36 pace
Just a (slow) quickie to keep things in order for Sunday. Not sure how things will turn out, but gonna (try) to have fun doing it.

alright Sunday shorty 4 mi 00:39 09:46 pace

alright Last long run 10 mi 01:39 09:53 pace
Only appropriate that the last long run of this training cycle was on the treadmill. Thanks, Ma Nature.

RUN
alright Shorty 4.1 mi 00:39 09:35 pace
2 solo and 2 with the dog, who is not a fan of the warmer weather.

alright Getting my kicks ... 5.03 mi 00:47 09:19 pace
Just a 5er during soccer practice. Tried upping the pace a smidge, but body wasn't all that receptive.

RUN
alright Sunday stroll 6.36 mi 01:01 09:32 pace
Felt a little sluggish on this one, but happy to be one step closer to Green Bay in two weeks. Very comfortable temps this morning to be on the roads.

RUN
alright Dodging the elements 14 mi 02:18 09:52 pace
Wasn't about to deal with the elements for this one, so hit the Pettit for a few circles. Not ideal, but it went better than last week's long run. One more week of training until race wee... read more

alright Last speed workout 8 mi 01:14 09:13 pace
Plan called for 8 miles, including 4x1 mile at 8:00 (1 min recovery). Stretched it to 3 min recovery instead. I'm old.

Looks good gramps!!

I'm glad you took longer recoveries if you needed them. The recovery times are really just a guide, the important part is THAT you recover between intervals not how long it takes you TO recover (though if the recoveries were 10 mins, we'd probably have to talk). Way to go, Brett!

alright Here and there 5.14 mi 00:47 09:03 pace
Just killing time during soccer practice. Still a little heavy legged, but much better than yesterday's train wreck.

RUN
tired Whoa! 5.01 mi 00:48 09:40 pace
Definitely felt all of the effects of Friday's 20. Really took all I had just to come in at this miserable pace. On the upside, pretty sweet weather for running.

Way to grind it out. You'll get it all back and more before the big one.

alright Live and learn 20.01 mi 03:15 09:45 pace
You know how they say don't start out too fast? There's a reason for that.
Today was the peak of the training cycle with my second 20-miler, including the last 10 at 9:30/mile pace. Sil... read more

Congrats on #4! Great job finishing what you started. There certainly weren't enough warm days this spring to train for weather like we had. Very proud of you!
