I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

3:15 marathon

Left at 9:45 so it was a bit hot. I am really nervous about the heat the last hour or so in SG. It just isn't cooling off much. First 2 miles were down hill mostly. The first was just above marathon pace, second just below, third just above and fourth 8:55 (all uphill). At mile 2.5 there was a man running in front of me (maybe 50 years old) and I got this urge to chick him. So, I did. I am such a jerk cuz I turned about 50 yards later and he kept going straight. I am too stinkin' competitive. I guess that is what makes us all better, right?

I think you should do a moderately slow paced run at -3% decline at Lifetime, not too long but just enough to get a little downhill, but not too close to next Saturday.

Maybe I'll try it on Monday. It makes me a little nervous though cuz Julie said when she did it a few weeks ago she was pretty sore for a few days. Do you think it is different than running downhill outside? Everywhere I go away from my house is down and coming back is up. Wish it was the other way around dangit.

From RivertonPaul on Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 14:50:21

Its just a nice controlled -3% decline. Some of St. George is -4%, I would only do a couple of miles if you haven't been doing a lot of the downhills. You've probably got some good benefit from outside in any event.

From Michelle N. on Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 14:58:09

We actually have done a lot of up and down outside. I just wonder if it would be better to do a consistant grade to really work on my form. I am a strong downhill runner but it takes me a little bit to get my form.

You are a competitive buggar---but that is what makes you so darn good! Never apologize for it! Plus, on those rare occasions that I can get kind of close to you, it makes it more fun for me!

From Michelle N. on Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 15:18:20

I love that you say buggar. My family says buggar but some people think it is a "naughty" word. I can think of a lot naughtier words than that:)

From Kelli on Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 15:50:19

See, I do not know how to spell what I am saying, i do not mean buggar like you pick from your nose and flick at passing cars, I mean BUGGER---I guess that is how I should spell it. But, either works!

My hips were sore the day after that treadmill run. I'm not sure why. They weren't even sore after Hobble Creek or Ogden. Kinda weird. Great job on your run today.

From Michelle N. on Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 17:43:47

Kelli-I didn't mean the flick it booger either. I meant BUGGER or BUGGAR or however you spell it, also. Great word.

Thanks Jewels!

Oh, booger---that is how you spell it. I am spelling challenged. We were on the same page than, BUGGAR!
