I totally read that you'd hacked off "a dude's head" and I was like..uh...that's not even funny.   But it was a duck's head.  So that's fine.  Carry on.

Morning TAN!

Being back at work sucks. I want to go back to bed. 

mr2tony - 2007-11-26 10:11 AM Afl--- AAAACK!

Morning, folks.

Very much so.

Good morning Schwamm. Como estas?

Did you see we have some new people in here to take the place of Scout? OK maybe not replace him but to fill the space he left?

OK ATX, I have to ask what you do for money. It's vital to us in TAN so we can, in certain cases, make fun of you, encourage you, back up your rantings about your coworker and/or your bosses.

I'm an insurance broker dealing with professional liability. Another words, I don't work with auto, life or health. I do handle doctor's malpractice, lawyers professional, etc. Let me tell you... insurance is just sooooo exciting. It's not too bad though. My bosses are pretty cool, co-workers... well, they're okay. I guess some of them are. Some are kind of gross. They sit around and eat enchiladas all day and sweat. Ugh. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

Should I just quit worrying about time and run the damn thing on Sunday and let the chips fall as they may?

I'm freaking OUT... I just posted this on Tri Talk:

I'm running my first mary on Sunday after months of preparation that's included a couple of halfs and other races of varying lengths. I've logged 1200+ miles of running to date, and my 'best' long run was 21 miles @ 9:02 pace on October 27th.

I've been pretty injury free, but I had to take part of the week of the 11-17th off due to a sore arch, but I still ran 14 on the 17th right around 9:05, which is my target marathon pace... but... ever SINCE...

It feels like a monkey has jumped on my back. I've slowed way down and I can't figure out why, but I'm struggling to run 9:40 in taper runs. I know you're supposed to run slower in taper than marathon pace, but its freaking me that either a) my body and/or b) my head is doing this to me. I did a T-Day run, a 10K, and did horrible for me, running just under 59:00 for a 10K. That's horrible, and I was pushing the whole way just to get that time.

I'm worried that I peaked too soon and that I'm really, really going to suck. My goal is to break 4:30 - I should do that, its the California International Marathon course which is supposed to be 'fast' - but I have this vision of really sucking and doing a 5+ hour marathon. Argghhh. Is it normal for taper to do this?

I ran 3 this morning at 9:40, I'm supposed to run 5 tomorrow, rest Wed, 5 thursday, 3 Friday and then the Marathon. Should I just quit worrying about time and run the damn thing on Sunday and let the chips fall as they may?
