Jill
Went to the track after I had a nice nap after work :). It was windy but it felt good to be outdoors on the track again. Cranked out two 800's WAY too fast (3:23, 3:28) and so then changed gears ... read more

I don't mind the treadmill at times, but I just read an article about how it gives you a false readout of pace because every machines is calibrated differently and how the treadmill is more abusive on your hip flexors; so I just wanted to see what my true time was w/o the aid of the treadmill pacing me. Plus my heel doesn't like the treadmill much. It was actually kinda fun!
David, Brian - great weather today, huh? Looks a little like February! More snow tonight, I hear. ugh!

yeah, I totally agree. I definitely think my treadmill is false. According to my run yesterday, I should be able to run a marathon in 3:31! That's what all the calculators say. However....I'm seriously thinking of doing a whole marathon on there before my surgery. At least I could manage my own hernia ice and achieve my goal...whereas I don't know if I could given my school schedule for the next 3 years. Then after that, I will be even older

That was great of you to pace, Jill. I'm sorry I didn't get in touch with you...by the time I was done, I was spent. To top it off, I forgot to put you number in my phone. Sorry about that. Congrats to your friend and you for helping her push through.

Nice run, Jill! I am doing the CO marathon Sunday. If you're going to be around for the expo Saturday, we're going to have a little DM meetup between 2 or 2:30 and 4:00. David and I will be there in our dailymile shirts, in the bar/coffee shop to the left as you enter the hotel through the main doors. It'd be great if you can join us.

I was a good girl and had zero! But my boys ate about 6 each, my daughter 2 and then she took about 10 home with her for her boyfriend. Hahah. I was going to have a beer but I knew I had a long day ahead with some client stuff so didn't need to take a nap this afternoon after a 10:00 beer. Haha. Thanks, David!

You will be great! Remember, that you accomplish pretty much what you expect to--so expect to run well and race hard, and you will. You have the miles, you have the experience, and you have the speed. Just put your MIND in its place and you will run the race you choose to.
