sounds ...3:13 not anything to turn your nose up at.<br />sounds like a brutal course. a tracked a few of my buddies through the nyc marathon (go meb) and all four of 'em finished within 3 minutes of each other.<br />2 went out together and ran even.<br />1 ran negative.<br />1 ran arguably the most hilarious negative i've ever seen on a tracking sheet (1:14/1:43). in any event, it's always great motivation "seeing" (even it is on my web browser thats refreshing results every 30 seconds) you marathoners take on such terror.<br /><br />i don't know if i shared with you on our warm up and cool down back in september that i'm living in colombia at elevation training with as few interruptions as possible. my coach and i have taken a new direction that i ignored through college and high school. recovery. my recovery runs have always been slow (730/8min pace) but, we're icing, napping, and massaging--and it's allowing for the hard/easy formula to feel natural, not forced. in any event, i'm seeing great results on my quality days with my extra attention to recovery. i have a 2 mile time trial tomorrow, my first time slipping on the racing flats at elevation. let's hope for something decent. <br /><br />are you taking time off after MDI? hows the calf holding up?<br />how is that intricate mileage excel spreadsheet? (i'd love to see that actually.)<br /><br />until next time,<br />sean<br />(that pesky butterfly)seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930363067849641514noreply@blogger.com
