I will NOT be doing 12 marathons in 12 months again...at least this year. Last year was mainly about quantity, although it surely had many quality moments. 2010's marathon selections are going to be more about enhancing the total experience of each.…

MR MO COMES HOME

After months of being unable to actually pull the trigger on signing up for Trieste and Prague marathons in May, and three weeks of injury-caused non-running and recovery, "Mr. Mo" is back on my side as of the just-concluded weekend.

2010 GOALS

I will NOT be doing 12 marathons in 12 months again...at least this year. Last year was mainly about quantity, although it surely had many quality moments. 2010's marathon selections are going to be more about enhancing the total experience of each. They're about the "where" and the "who". There will be three pairs of back-to-back weekend marys in four countries, a new PR target time, and involvement in a cross-training sport I've despised my whole life.

Did you like Rochester? I've heard some complaints about the Canal Trail being monotonous. I really enjoy it.

haha I'll only know for certain if I can do Trieste or Prague next year but it is on the top of my 'To Run' list! What about Amsterdam or Rotterdam? I think we can convince Laura to run one of those!

Hey Mike! I just got back to Beantown yesterday! Seattle was great and I had a blast hanging out with you and Todd! I tried the coffee you gave me this morning and it's amazing! Hope you are having a good week!

Congrats on another marathon finish, buddy! Seven down, five to go...

Thanks Michael. This one was a little tougher I think because, I didn't completely training back up. Did listen to podcast #58. Went as far as creating an Excel spreadsheet to determine n optimal pace. 1/5 ratio with 9:45 run sgment. I will use it some time, but Sunday wanted to run with Deb and Kristi. Thought that was more important. Later

I have the Nike womens marathon in Oct. I think I'm going to cut back the marathons and try to get faster. I signed up for the Park City Half August 22.

Hi! Impressed by your marathon experience. Don't know that I will ever get there .. .taking it short (distances) for now being new and all.

Thanks for the encouragement Michael. It helps to know someone's paying attention. Got through W2D1 fairly well BTW.

Michael -Finished my first marathon. About 4:41 on my watch, although they haven't posted the results yet. Overall happy with the experience. Don't too beatup. No blistering. My beginner program didn't really prep me. Needed more miles. Ran out of gas about 23 miles and Gallawayed myself in. All in all though a good day. Saw a lot of fJF riends and will turn around now for Cleveland which is the real goal.

Thanks for the note. I think I am ready. Funny because you start to freak out during the taper. Not having run longer that 10 miles in 2 weeks. But how bad can it be. I am going out slow and let my training do its thing. Leaving for Cancun to 'rehab' and rehydate on Monday so that's not bad.
