Scott, that sounds good to me. I won't be running quite as far as I have been since that is the week leading up to the marathon, but I'll still be running.

It will be good to see you Woody! I plan on running 18-20. I'll do a few before I meet you guys. I'll probably go out as far as Dennis goes and then come back in hard. I don't know though - we'll see how I feel.

Great run! Wondering how it went for you today Rob? Rob was going 24 miles. You were right behind us at 9 - about 65 minutes!
Anyway to recap our run. Ran pretty comfortable early. I started out with a 1.5 mile warm-up to the Canal to meet the guys. First two miles were a pedestrian 14:55. Woody ran with us until 6.5. Dennis and I stuck together and the pace gradually increased to just around 6:40 at the turn. We were 60:43 at 9. I had to take a bathroom break and let Dennis go because I was running the last 9 hard. Dennis ended up running a negative split with the last 9 just over 57 minutes. My last 9 miles were the last 9 hard miles that I will run before Chicago - that was a huge boost at the end when the miles got tough. I was 5:36, 5:32, 5:23, 5:21, 5:28, 5:38, 5:35, 5:52, 5:14 on a sloppy and wet Canal. Felt good - not really comfy last 3 miles, but that was okay. Ended up running 49:40 on way back. That was 5:31 pace, only 6 seconds off my marathon pace. Will seem a lot easier in a race situation with people there to run with. I think I deserve an ice cream cone!!!

Looked like a good day for everyone. Was 60:43 at 9 and ran the last nine in 57:34 and felt really comfortable. Jaron went flying by at 11 and looked real smooth. I went 1:58 for 18 and felt very relaxed. I hope Rob's run went well. Down week next week and then back in the 20's the next few weeks.

Awesome run today. You guys were running so strong it was beautiful thing to see.
I honestly wish today was the marathon. Cool, comfortable, and strong. My right foot was sore from running at Hereford (Jaron had warned me about running the Hereford Open) yesterday so I went for 22 instead of 24. My foot quit hurting at mile 20 so now I feel like a big baby. That means I will have to do a 24 the weekend after the GAR. The best part of the day was number of runners on the Canal that I caught and pass. That was really cool.
My time was 3 minutes faster then last week at 2:41:12 and my 11 mile split was1:19:41.
Let me know the running schedule for the week.
Just got in from getting 2 loads of firewood so I'm tried now bit I did treat myself to a Slurpee.
