OMG! I am an old drunk man who has no business trying to run! God this was hard... I really didn't think I could finish this one! Thank goodness Ze've rode his MTN bike and chatted with me the whole way! I ran the single slowest mile that I can remember running on mile 17... 9:31! I will redeem myself on next week's 20 miler... and I won't be all hung over either...

On the positive note... this marks my 5th 20 miler in this marathon training cycle (only 1 more to go)... I have logged 150 miles in two weeks... however I'm feeling it and I will rest accordingly...

Nice run at my projected marathon race pace... My HR stayed in zone 2 until I pushed it on the last 1/2 mile...

I'm not feeling very well today... The start of a cold I think... OJ, OJ, OJ! Driving down the road the other day, I saw something new: Scooter Butt! Answer to yesterday's question: First though... Everyone but REGIMOM got it wrong (regimom cheated)... This tells me a lot about my friends on BT... They are mostly illiterate unless they are reading training manuals and blogs! LOL. The pissers are in the old Lowenstein Theater across from East High School which is the new home of the Tattered Cover Book Store (a Denver Landmark).

Ran with Tania Pavec at Waterton Canyon... Nice and easy... Beautiful day...

276 miles logged Running in October... one of my biggest months of running ever... 2 more hard weeks to go before the taper leading up to Dec. 2nd - The California Marathon... Oh, and I would like to brag about my great race in Moab... but JuliaPurr is sick of it and suggested that I get over it! So I have decided not to recap the race report today... ^^^^^^^^ Pretty Potty's TEST YOUR HIPSTERNESS level: Who knows where these urinals are located? Hint: They are located somewhere on Colfax Ave...

I'm blogging at 11:45PM because I finally got my run in...

I had a rough day/24 hours.

Anyhoo... this was the first time since winter that I have run in long pants, long shirt a beanie, gloves and fleece vest... it was nice

Slowed it down a bit and just enjoyed another beautiful day here in Denver! Great tunes... ahh...

So I found this interesting... using the race time predictor at www.runningforfitness.org I found out that my marathon training is right on pace to run a sub 2:50 marathon! I punched in my age and 2:50 mary and my times are slightly faster than the predicted times at other distances compared to the chart avg of the most common prediction formula's! another cool thing is that based on the weight performance chart... if I lost 4 lbs, theoretically I could drop up to 4 minutes from my predicted time! I do plan on racing somewhere around 135-137 (currently 140lbs).

New shoes and another BEAUTIFUL day for a run in Denver! Training for a December marathon is awesome... perfect weather to run in!

New shoes felt great, and my tired and sore feet thanked me for not running yesterday!

i better be quiet now wish you gave me your number wish i could call you today, just to hear a voice i got a long way to go i'm getting further away if i didn't know the difference living alone'd probably be ok it wouldn't be lonely i got a long way to go i'm getting further away alot of hours to occupy, it was easy when i didn't know you yet things i'd have to forget but i better be quiet now i'm tired of wasting my breath carrying on and getting upset maybe i got a problem, but that's not what i wanted to say i'd prefer to say nothing. i got a long way to go i'm getting further away. had a dream as an army man with an order just to march in my place while a dead enemy screams in my face but i better be quiet now i'm tired of wasting my breath carrying on, not over it yet wish i knew what you're doing and why you want to do it this way, so i can't go the distance i got a long way to go i'm getting further away i got a long way to go i'm getting further away -- elliott smith

Woke up with a hang-over after last nights debauchery! OUCH... It was so beautiful out, I jumped on my bike. I rode out to and around the CC REZ. Its been a while and I suffered from a mild case of beginners butt... although I felt a little tired on the way home, I rode pretty well considering how little I've been on my rig since the 5430 HIM.

I saw a horrible accident. Some older lady crashed near the dam and was hurt pretty badly... lots of blood.

AVG Cadence: 80

My ugly new trainers (Mizuno Wave Precision 8): I've been training in these for about 3 years now. I like the low ride and the neutral support, very light weight and probably not a shoe for 80 mile weeks, but for some reason I have done well with this shoe... I switched to Ascics DS Trainers in the summer, but I just didn't like them as much...
