heh, been there, done that. Last year I passed 10k fairly quickly, shed my undershirt and continued on. The race turned around and we had three miles into a cold headwind that froze my nipples off. Subsequent photos show nothing but grimaces.

My first run today since the 5K on Saturday, did just under 4 miles.

I also played about 1:45 of Ultimate Frisbee yesterday. From times that I've worn my pedometer that would work out to 6 miles or so of run/walking over the course of the games. Nice weather tomorrow (mid 60s) so I'll be playing again then. I chalk it up as interval training.

My friends and I plan on doing the Broad Street Run in Philly. Each putting in $25 and winner takes all. I ran XC and Track in High School, but rarely run over 6 miles since then. Looks like I have motivation to start running distance again.

Did 5k last night. I changed my music playlist and treadmill routine; shaved about 2 minutes off of my [snail-pace] average time. ******* amazing!

6 miles. Took me about 45-50 minutes, but I'm okay with that. It felt good to hit almost 10k.

Update: Today I broke my barrier with a 7 mi run. 1:05 Felt amazing.

Good job. I can sense the fat melting off. Soon, Conne will be the lard ass of the Steez.

That burned off about 1.5 bourbons that you'll drink tonight. All the fries, burgers, and bacon that you ate today....they're still there.

Hey, I just discovered this thread.

I'm training for Boston. I follow a low-mileage, three (running) day-per-week plan. Supposed to do some cross-training, but that doesn't seem to happen.

Tuesday -- tempo run (7-10 miles)
Thursday -- speedwork at the track (total 4800 - 7200 m in 400 to 1600 m intervals, plus recovery)
Weekend -- long run (starts at 10 miles, works up to 20 miles)

Any other marathoners out there?

^^What kind of goal do you have for the marathon? I assume you have already run a qualifying time for Boston since you say you are training for that. Any reason for a 3 days a week plan? It seems strange to me because i'm a high mileage, run everyday type... i personally would never feel prepared for a marathon off of 35 mpw.

7 mi. in 45min today for me. I actually hadn't run since friday because i came down with some nasty flu and had a 102.5 fever all saturday and sunday and was recovering the last 2 days... but today i finally felt well enough to run.

Yeah, I'm perplexed as well re: three days a week. For the previous one I was running 5-6 days a week, topping out at 60 mpw. This time around I'd like to hit and hold 70 mpw for a few weeks.

Today: 6 2/3 miles, a bit slower than usual.

Jwied, Do you mind putting up your training schedule? I'm thinking about running a marathon (late) this year. That said, I haven't started a marathon training routine yet- I'm thinking it's really too early in the year. Right now I'm doing speed training once a week along with ever-longer mileage (I'm only up to 7 miles thus far) along with a couple of shorter maintenance runs during the week. I also figure concentrating on speed now (in the form of interval runs) will help tremendously when I want to run long distances faster.
