Training: Fixed it

Recently I found this website called dailymile.com, which allows you to log your miles online and it computes everything for you. What's not to like? It's a little like facebook for runners in that it also creates a social network if you want to go that way. Right now I have zero friends on there and just use it for the mile calculations. Best of all it's free. So instead of trying to fit in all in here, I just go to that website now and y'all can see for yourselves. Plus I think there's a wigit at the bottom of this webpage that says how much I've run this week. That is, if you're interested.

Here I am: http://www.dailymile.com/people/Bobby_J

Training: 10/31/11 - 11/6/11

This week I am getting back on track (although I haven't actually been to the track in a while). Daylight savings ended on Sunday, which means that all my weekday runs will be in the dark from now until who knows when... unless I decide to run on my lunch hour. I still have a couple of weeks until the 10-K Turkey Trot in Detroit, which I kind of want to kill, which would mean that I run it in under 38:53 (sub 6:15 pace), which is kind of fast for me. So we will see.

Also FOUR times a week I lifted at the gym. I'm nearly 150lbs now. I look better, but I'm carrying more weight.

Monday: Semi Long Run- 10@ 7:28min/mi
Tuesday: Tempo- 5@ 6:59min/mi (Ran w/Pacers Logan Circle -Georgetown loop)
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: 5@ 6:41min/mi (Ran w/Pacers Logan Circle -Georgetown loop)
Friday: 3 w/ 1@ 6:00min/mi
Saturday: Long Run- 15@ 7:33min/mi (w/6:33)
Sunday: 1@ 7:45min/mi


Total: 39 miles

From the Cheering Section LIVE!

This isn't really live, I just wanted to try this app on my iPhone.

Last week I spectated at the Marine Corps Marathon. It was Halloween weekend so I woke up too late to watch as the leaders passed, but I got a chance to see a lot of the rest.

There were lots of runny noses due to the temperature, but not so many people in costumes besides fairies. Also not a lot of people wrote their names on their shirts for people to chher for them and the ones that did wore headphones as well -- why do people do that?

The highlight of the race was the eccentric lady who brought music, candy, her outrageous personality and a few brilliant signs like the one hopefully posted below. She really needs to do this full time.
