30 runs in 30 days - who's with us? (Page 101)

Welcome to the madness.

Day 719, 2.25 miles.

Thanks all for the kind words, I have been a quick healer my whole life and I hope it still holds true now. I have my 100 miler in less than 3 months. The pain was a little better today but still painful.

#106 - laddered up .1 mph every .5 miles until 2, then every .25 miles. Felt good.

#106: 2 miles. My wife gave me her cold, so I'm scaling back distance to get better. This means from the neck down, I feel AMAZING, but I'm carrying a 90 pound block on top of my neck. Stupid cold.

#387 4mi

#388 2 mi

Doing last "real" run tomorrow 7 mi with probably 2 miles or so at race pace, and the rest easy pace. The rest of the week will be easy taper. I had so much extra time today, I really didn't know what to do with it. I didn't do much.

Good luck this weekend in Philly, Hope you rock a big pr and have great weather for it as well. Looking forward to hearing how you make out.

Day 720, 4.3 miles I the first snow run of the year for me.

Day 721, 6.2 miles. Still sore but a little better might have been the cold beers I had last night that made it feel better today. : )

Thanks. Weather is looking good, maybe a bit of rain, but that's fine by me.

#389- 7 mi. Ran in the cold (33 deg) and dark. Couldn't really see my watch, so ran my "race pace," 2 miles a bit fast 6:53, and 6:55. But they felt good.

Here is my pacing strategy, look ok? I know I got the first 10. And will probably be "ok" until 15. Mile 16 to 20 will make or break it for me I think.

Mile 1 to 10: 7:00 x 10 = 70 min
Mile 11 to 15: 7:10 x 5 = 35 min 50 sec = 105 min 50 sec
Mile 16 - 20: 7:15 x 5 = 36 min 25 sec = 142 min 15 sec
Mile 21-25: 7:25 x 5 = 37 min 05 sec = 179 min 20 sec
Final 1.2: 7:10 x 1.2 = 8 min 36 sec = 187 min 56 sec = 3 hr 7 min 56 sec

After my first attempt at a streak ended at 72, Started up a new streak and at Day 20. Having to baby my hamstrings. Had to run at 1230 am since I'm leaving for London today. 25th wedding anniversary trip. London, Paris, Lucerne, Venice and Rome. Going to be interesting.

Excited about finding places to run and working them into the days events. Probably early morning, getting it out of the way.

Welcome back, Bellingham.

Good luck this weekend, ImSore! Looks like you have a solid strategy in place! That would be an absolutely phenomenal race. Hope all goes well!

Day 722, 8.1 miles.

#390- 2 mi. Some additional drills, strides, and stretching.

Thursday - #109 - 4 mile tempo run on the treadmill.

Day 723, 3 easy miles.

Welcome back. I went to China this year and had to keep the streak. Was interesting with the time difference. I felt like I had to keep the streak on our time, and also on their time. So I ended up doing quite a few doubles. Nice dedication with the 1230am run, you should manage just fine!!! Should have some nice runs at those locations, really get to see the cities. Have fun!!

#391- 3 mi, 6 x 100 m strides

Good luck in Philly tomorrow, you will do great!!!!!

#392 - 2 mi easy with spouse, also did some easy strides just to stay loose

Thanks all. Tomorrow, I meet my goal, or fail spectacularly. Either way, I am running hard.

Day 724, 11.5 miles.

Day 725, 6.3 miles. My Achilles is starting to feel better, todays run was the best I have felt all week.
