My 4-mile race sucked. I finished in 30:23, about 45 seconds slower than my PR. Conditions were slushy and icy, but I figured my training would still get me a...
... slower ... training ... Jonguy with those conditions I would say you did what you could. I still don't know how you all run in slushy and icy conditions. ...
Jonguy, Sorry to hear you had a bad race. It is disappointing, I know. With those conditions, I think you did fabulous. Of course, I think you did fabulous...
... I like the Bermuda Marathon weekend pictures. Those are good to look at on a cold day back in the States. I think you are trying to deceive everyone by...
Thanks Melissa and Ohno. You guys are great, and you make me feel better about my disappointing effort. I hope you both had a good weekend of running. Jonguy ...
I wonder about that too, Ohno. Those intervals may have left me a bit leg-weary. These are 52-year-old legs we're talking about. lol But I figured an easy day...
... JabberDawg ~ Yeah, I read it yesterday. I think about Andy and his techniques, especially when working with runners who have mental hurdles to get over. I...
... bit ... Jon ~ Did you really expect to run fast at a distance you've not training for? Wasn't the 4-miler just a small building block toward a Boston...
Thanks for setting me straight, Coach. I think I had misunderstood the direction in which my program was taking me. I thought all those intervals, plus the...
Jonguy I knew coach was going to tell you that... just be true to his training program.... it will get you the BQ What other 64 year old do you know that can...
... Rengaw~I was debating running attire this afternoon since it's supposed to be near 70. Singlet or shirtless. JabberDawg Winter is supposed to rear its...
Rungregg, don't worry, I will keep training. It's less than 16 weeks now to Bayshore, and I know that time will fly. I have to make the best use of it, and...
... I wore my favorite ten year old NY State Police blue shirt. It is cotton but thin and has never given me problems on short runs. I would have gone...
How one should deal with a perceived below average performance: 1. Was this the distance you were training for? 2. How much rest did you have before the event?...
JonGuy~I know what you are going through with the desire to see instant results from a race that is not a goal. I had that problem early on in my training...
Jabber: No, my program called for me to "kick @$$" in this one, and it was the last run in the last week of a "confidence builder" phase. So I guess I just...
JonGuy~I know I am re-iterating Coach (sort of), but hey you had a bad race. We all have bad races, so don't sweat it. Focus on the marathon and be in...
Jabber, I'm not sweating it anymore. After coach explained that the Gallop wasn't supposed to be a target race that my program prepared me for, I felt better...
This week is the last week of my "confidence builder" phase. I'm doing intervals (or suppose to be) every day except Friday and then run a 5K on Saturday -- a...

Hey Meg, I was just checking your Yahoo profile and saw your photo at the Millrose Games! I certainly recognize you. I didn't know that you were such an...
