I mean, I'm the same way, this group I'm ok with knowing who I am. I post enough info about my runs for almost anyone with 30 seconds could figure out who I am.

So this morning I got news that I'm kinda happy about... I might end up scraping my marathon next Saturday :lol:
There is a possible funeral that is going to have me busy in Birmingham and I might not be able to travel to Nashville. Starting temp of 72 and it being the horrible course that it is ...

Hey I wish I could turn off my OCD brain sometimes, I really do, it just doesn't work that way. :lol:

There are like 25 people from the Birmingham area running it, I only know about half but that's insane to me.

I think the biggest thing that will hold me back on my 100 miler training is going to just be fatherhood. I've worked myself up to 50+ mile weeks at this point, it wouldn't be that huge of a stretch to get up to 90-100 during the 100 miler training; if I had the time.
I ...

Thanks guys! I kinda agree with you all, why have I put myself through 3 50+ mile weeks, and SO MANY MORE MILES IN GENERAL + way more "workouts" because of those miles this time if I'm not going to leave it all out on the line.
Going into taper next week I will make sure to listen to my body and ...

[quote]Peavine Falls. July 4th. 8.25 miles and 1000' of climb. I'd love to get into the 7:45 range which I think is doable given that I just ran a 9.3 miles with the same climb in 8:05. Any thoughts on how to pick up speed for uphills?
Probably pick a low impact 1/2 training plan and go with that...

[quote]yea 15 is probably a bit hefty this close at that pace. Id say if you were keeping it under 13 youd might be fine but even then id probably just do like the last 5 or so at goal pace. With that Id say your probably still good for an early week workout[/quote]

[quote]15 miles at MP 3 weeks out seems like a little much.[/quote]
Technically it will be 15 at MP 15 days out. Now that I write that out it seems like a bad idea.
My regular plan has a fairly regular 6m intervals (actually 4M on the workout portion) and 9 miles on the third day MP which wil...

Ok so I'm 3 weeks out now, this week calls for a 10% cutback with a little more intensity (33% instead of the typical 20%)
I was thinking about doing my entire long run at Marathon Pace this week, does that mean I should take it easier on my mid-week runs so I can hit the ...
