You are really putting in some miles, I need to get motivated and break out of the 40 mile week mode, but right now it works! I swear I will buckle down for Boston training in January, we have unfinished marathon business!!

I am most impressed that you'd stay put behind them and listen to your body rather than needlessly pushing pace. Great job on your race last week, too! That's a fast time especially considering that you're not doing HM-specific workouts. We need to try to get together this week.

Yes jen. I now have a cold and am so smart i am not even running with it! I am off to disneyland wednesday night. So next week? When i am all better! Hi april...yes as i ran the half i wondered if i could pull off a 3:05 at boston...my first rezponse was no while running but then i didnt even train much for this half and it wasnt raced at all for me...more like a tempo so i figure boston is sea level and down hill at sfart that perhaps i can get 7:05 ap at boston.

Oh and april a marked dip in mileage this week. Just gonna be smart with tbis old body...to early topush. Gonna get serious in feb and march.

One more thing jen and april...hormones were the key...memory improving and mood. Seeing the world better. Progesterone and estradiol. :-)
