Since building back from my injury I've had 8 weeks in-a-row over 62 miles. Not that 62 miles is a lot, but throwing in a 40-50 mile week in there probably would have helped.<BR/><BR/>Yeah the Twinkies DID get there stadium approved. It's scheduled to open in 2010 and will be behind the Target Center.

Whether I run two 5 mile runs or go for two bike rides over an hour, I doubt there's much of a difference. <BR/><BR/>Again, I don't want to do that every week. But given my track record recently, I'd at least like to get to Chicago in one piece - even if it only means being in 2:58 shape.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1156968279072368132006-08-30T15:04:00.000-05:002006-08-30T15:04:00.000-05:00Three days off, playing x-box on the bike trainer?...Three days off, playing x-box on the bike trainer? What happened to the guy in the profile?<BR/><BR/>“I’m 34. If I want to see what I can accomplish in running and if I ever want another chance to approach my all-time PRs, now is the time. I’m not getting any younger."<BR/><BR/>Take this for the "tough-love" comment it is meant to be. If you're really dedicated to getting as fast as you can before father time slows you down, it's time to run. <BR/><BR/> I want to see you succeed but a cutback week doesn't mean half a week off...does it?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573945547139938065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1156963330224997322006-08-30T13:42:00.000-05:002006-08-30T13:42:00.000-05:00I tried to explain the whole "mindset" to someone ...I tried to explain the whole "mindset" to someone once......it just doesn't work unless they do it.Lance Notstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329233052728447291noreply@blogger.com
