im sure you are going to far surpass any expactations you have for this race.......just remember, stay focused and enjoy the ride....even chat some people up, especially after mile 20, they love that!!!  oh, as far as the recover, take the stairs backwards, drink choco milk and GREAT luck getting the lovely spouse to drive!!

HILLS.........its whats for dinner!!!  HILLS HILLS AND MORE HILLS....

hey tho, great job and hitting what you set out to do despite all the issues along the way, GREAT JOB!!!!!

hard to say why you mightve felt sluggish as i saw nothing........in your logs..........however.  i would start looking at thursday night and what you did on that night.  did you get enough rest and relaxation to pull you thru to a good race?  how was your diet on that night as well.  the night two nights prior to race day is equally if not more important than the night before race day.......so start there and work forward.  friday, did you take it easy all day or were you running around like a crazed lunatic all uber busy and whatnot.........now friday night, diet....find foods that agree with your system and what works for you.  its going to be different from person to person (night before for me is usually something like spaghetti........just cuz i love italion food!!!).  for breakfast on race day i like to have something light that wont sit in my stomach for hours on end......so i have like half a bagel with peanut butter and a banana, something along those lines..........so that all taken into account...........does it make sense?  hope it helps..

whats everyone else's prerace routine?  start with two days prior to the big event!!!

EEEAAAWWW!! (A little Donkey encouragement for this group).

hey fillup, not all of us have access to the computer and internet 24/7 and are able to post on a whim whenever we feel like it, k?

anyone else getting a wee bit stir crazy and ready to take the training outside??  we are currently going thru a spell of 35s to 40s and mostly sunshine here (above norm) and it has me itchin like crazy!!!!  i know in my heart tho its just a tease and we'll be slammed again soon!!!!

hows those out east doing?

Wow.  A little positive encouragement and I get shot down.  Guess that won't happen again.

oh ge'ez, DTFU would ya????

*BUMPITYBUMP*

hows everyones week so far?

DTFU AND GET YER AZZ OFF THE COUCH!!!! 

just kidding..........i think its natural to think the way you are currently..... i think one gets a sense of "been there, done that, i can do it again easy" kind of thinking and its easier to put off workouts when in that mode.  i went thru the same kind of thing during last years "off season" with thoughts of "dam, missed another, oh well, i can start FOR REAL next week!"  pretty soon its time for the events and well.................bummer!!  bottom line:  well, i think the opening sentence says it all!!!  time to go!

Weekend plans??

me = 90 min trainer ride while watching stepbrothers + 15-18 mile run on saturday, sunday is off to the museum after church to see the dead sea scrolls?

whats up peeps?
