Had to wait until the kids were off to bed to strap on the headlamp and head out for a brisk night run under a crisp, clear black sky, a full moon and the constellation Orion. Felt great, easy aero... read more

Thanks, Joe! Except I'm just going to be a fan in April. I revised my plans to a spring half and a fall marathon in order to take a little more time healing up.

Half mary shape already and won't take ya' long to round into the full mary shape once you get that knee figured out. Nice to see you turn on that extra gear miles 9 through 12 even though you aren't feeling 100% Ernesto.

Sounds like a wise decision Ernesto, no sense taking chances. Looking at Wallis Sands on 5/6 myself. I've heard good things about it.

Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions! Wallis Sands and the Big Lake are both right in the time frame I was thinking of! Which one is less hilly? ;)

I'm doing Twin Lights down in Gloucester, MA (my hometown) - less hilly than Big Lake, but my understanding is that Wallis Sands is almost totally flat. (Twin Lights is May 12 as well - although you can't go wrong with Big Lake)

good 6.2 mi 00:48 07:40 pace

I hope the prednisone does the job for you, Ernesto. Pretty nice 10k today, sore knee and all!

If you had run harder instead of lolly gagging it out there, you may have generated enough body heat to keep you warm.

Nice work Ernesto. I think we've all been lulled into thinking its Spring already during this non-winter Winter!

Like Pete says, we're just not thinking 'cold' as it's been so warm lately! I feel like I'm not getting acclimated to the cold this year so every day below freezing feels like 0*. Great run, Ernesto--I'm sure you warmed up quickly at that pace!

Blah, very tired treadmill run. On the upside, knee felt good after four days of no running, just biking.
That poor knee. Hope it heals up for you.

So listen.... try hot yoga for your knee. The heat is amzing..does wonders.. and the bikram 26 postures are specifically dsigned to heal.... a LOT of focus on healing joints.... crosstraining with this in the winter would be awesome for you. I am so much more flexible and os many corrections in my muscoskeltal since i started. Cold and repetition are a touhg combo for the winter runner.... hot yoga... you will LOVE it.
