COLUMBIA — More than half of older adults in the state disagree with Gov. Nikki Haleys plan to turn down Medicaid expansion, according to a survey by the AARP.
The survey found that 54 percent of the respondents support expanding Medicaid to cover low-income adults. A U.S. Supreme Court decision last summer allowed states to opt out of the Medicaid expansion provision of the federal Affordable Care Act. Haley has pledged not to accept the expansion, saying its an extension of a wasteful federal program.
Leaders in 17 states have indicated they plan to turn down the expansion, which would provide health coverage for adults making less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Thats about $15,000 annual income for a single adult, or about $32,000 for a family of four.
AARP, which is advocating for expansion, has commissioned surveys in several states. South Carolina is the second state to release survey results. In North Carolina, 58 percent favored expansion.
Expanding Medicaid will help our states workers whove lost their jobs or are struggling in jobs without health benefits, said Teresa Arnold, AARP South Carolina legislative director. For older workers hit hardest by the recession and out of the workforce longer than younger workers, this is especially important.
Expanding Medicaid will give people without insurance access to preventive care that can reduce the need for expensive emergency room care, and ease emergency room overcrowding.
The survey also found that 88 percent of residents consider the federal Medicaid program extremely, very or somewhat important, and 64 percent felt the state should used proceeds from the 2000 tobacco settlement to expand Medicaid in the state.
The survey, conducted in February, included 800 telephone interviews with registered voters in the state 45 years or older. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
The vast majority of respondents (80 percent) were white. Most (90 percent) also had health coverage, and thus wouldnt benefit directly from the expansion. Estimates of the uninsured in the state have hovered between 16 and 20 percent in recent years.
The expansion would provide health insurance coverage for an estimated 329,000 South Carolinians. The federal government would pay 100 percent of the expansion cost for the first three years, dropping to 90 percent by 2020.
A University of South Carolina study estimated accepting expansion would pump $11.2 billion federal dollars into the states economy and create 44,000 jobs. Tony Keck, director of the Medicaid-coordinating state Department of Health and Human Services, estimates the states share of the expansion cost would be $1.7 billion by 2020.
Haley and Keck have spoken out against the expansion, but the state Legislature will have a say in the decision. Several bills have been introduced some requiring the state to turn down expansion, some requiring the state to accept expansion.
In budget hearings, no funds have been set aside to pay for the administration of expansion, which even in the early years would be an expense that falls on the state. While some Republicans have expressed reluctance at turning down federal funding, even those leaning towards accepting expansion have said they dont expect to have enough votes to override a veto by Haley.
The voices in favor of expansion include AARP, S.C. Hospital Association, S.C. Primary Health Care Association, American Heart Association and United Way. They have been buoyed by changes in the stances on expansion by Republican governors in several states, including Florida, New Jersey and Arizona.
At state Senate subcommittee hearings on the issue, testimony by physicians was split. The S.C. Medical Association has taken a nuanced approach.
While the SCMA agrees with finding solutions to provide health care to all South Carolinians, the association said in an official statement in December, we are concerned that the Medicaid expansion is a temporary and unsustainable fix that is not the solution for the long term health issues facing South Carolina.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)- A New Castle County Superior Court judge is considering whether to approve a $123 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of young children who were sexually abused by former Delaware pediatrician Earl Bradley. After hearing several hours of testimony Tuesday, Judge Joseph Slights III said he would issue a written decision by Monday. Bradley, 59, is serving 14 life sentences for child rape after being convicted last year by a judge who viewed more than 13 hours of homemade videos showing sex crimes against more than 80 victims. The settlement in the civil lawsuit would resolve claims against Beebe Medical Center, a southern Delaware hospital where Bradley had hospital privileges, the Medical Society of Delaware, and five physicians accused by the plaintiffs of not reporting suspicions about Bradley to authorities. Witnesses testified that without the settlement, Beebe would be staring at bankruptcy while victims would face years of litigation, with no guarantee of any recovery and the very real risk of young children being compelled to talk about what happened to them, which former Pennsylvania judge Thomas Rutter said would be "extraordinarily traumatic." "Each time the victim is called upon to remember ... it causes significant emotional response," said Rutter, who served as a settlement arbitrator in the bankruptcy of Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, which sought bankruptcy protection in 2009 because of liabilities stemming from abuse by pedophile priests. Under the proposed settlement in the Bradley case, Rutter would be responsible for determining which claims have merit and for separating claimants into five categories, based upon the alleged harm suffered and the evidence presented. Children within each category would receive the same compensation, but it's unclear what the range of payments could be among categories. "We all recognize that no amount of money will ever compensate some of these victims," said former state Supreme Court justice Joseph Walsh, who served as a mediator in the case. "The law has limitations, but within the limitations of our system, this is a remarkable settlement," Walsh added. Bruce Hudson, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said more than 900 families believe they have a claim, but Alex Pires Jr., an attorney who helped represent Beebe and who serves on the Beebe Medical Foundation board, said he expects the final tally could approach 1,500. Pires credited Beebe president and CEO Jeffrey Fried, who also testified Tuesday, for deciding not to fight the lawsuit but to try to get the hospital's insurance carriers to participate in a settlement. The bulk of the settlement fund, about $112 million, comes from Beebe's insurance carriers, with a subsidiary of insurance giant American International Group Inc., contributing more than $70 million. Beebe itself would contribute about $7.2 million in cash and $1 million worth of medical care to Bradley's victims over 15 years. Insurance carriers for the non-Beebe defendants would contribute about $3 million to the settlement. James Murray, an attorney hired by Beebe who specializes in insurance coverage issues, said months of negotiations culminated with Walsh calling attorneys to Philadelphia in late June for two days of intense mediation. The talks appeared to break down for good when insurance carriers made a final offer of $110 million that plaintiffs' attorneys rejected. It was only because plaintiffs' attorneys stopped for a restroom break before getting on an elevator that they were still around to accept a last-second suggestion by one of the carriers to raise the offer, Murray said. Near the end of Tuesday's hearing, three people whose families have been affected by the Bradley accepted the judge's invitation to give their thoughts. One woman said she was concerned about the number of people who may file claims in the case simply because their children were treated by Bradley "when you have an eight-year-old threatening to kill herself." "My kid's living it every day. That bothers me," she said. Another woman said she thought attorneys did the best they could but that no amount of money would make things better. She told the judge her biggest concern was constantly seeing Bradley's photograph on television and in the newspapers and the emotional impact it has on her. "They keep showing this pig's face on the television set whenever they discuss his name," she said, wondering if it were possible for the court to impose a gag order to prevent media outlets from showing Bradley's photograph.

Wax Syrup Sticks
Wax Syrup Sticks
Wax Syrup Sticks are about 4.5 inches long. Bite off the top, drink the fruit flavored syrup and then chew the wax stick. They are like wax bottles only in the shape of a stick.
The history of wax candies like Wax Syrup Bottles has been difficult to track down. They were originally created by the American Candy Company in the early 1900s. Later the brand was sold to Concord Confections which is now part of Tootsie, the current manufacturer.

When I was a kid growing up in Mckeesport Pennsylvania we had several penny candy stores near where we lived. When we got a quarter from the tooth fairy or for running an errand we always went to one of them. We would put the quarter on the glass counter and the owner would get a small brown paper bag for each of us. We would get one of this and another of that from the bins until the bag was filled with our sweet treasures.
One of my favorite items was the wax syrup sticks. They were two for a penny and I would always get one of each flavor. After biting off the top I would drink the liquid and then chew the wax for hours. However we discovered something else we could do with the empty wax sticks. We would write messages on the sidewalk with them. When these messages were first written they were invisible, but after several days the wax would turn black and become readable before eventually fading away. My friends and I were always leaving "secret" messages for each other that could only be read at a later time. What fun, and what wonderful memories. ~Terry from Washington

If I'm not following you on Twitter, please send an @message to request. I'll follow as many back as I can.
Effective immediately, I'm no longer going to follow people back on Twitter automatically.
The reason is simple: Twitter would rather permit 3rd party applications to empower users to direct message me their stupid spam messages. The #1 culprit of this experience is http://www.fun140.com . (To be clear, fun140 believes they're empowering a really fun way to use Twitter. Swell. Just don't involve me.)
The problem is this: I can't really keep up with manually following people back. Thus, suddenly, people are going to start thinking I'm snobby because I'm not following them back.
I can't fix this. I can't help. I can't maintain the level of spam DMs in my inbox and so, I'll do what I can to follow back people who contact me via @messages.

TRAVERSE CITY — There were 48 veterans holding flags high on the field during the first Patriot Game ceremony honoring those that have served the country in the armed forces — one for each upcoming minute of the football game at hand.
After that, Traverse City Central controlled most of those 48 minutes, holding the Nowak-Olson Trophy high as the student section sang the Trojan fight song after a 42-28 victory Friday over crosstown rival Traverse City West.
The win puts TC Central at 5-1 for the first time since the split and in prime position to clinch a playoff berth soon for just the second time in Tom Passinault's six-year tenure.
"It's the biggest win of the season," said sophomore defensive end Rhys Adle. "It's huge for the conference. It's huge for our record. It's huge for our self-esteem and everything."
Holding on to a 21-7 lead at halftime, the Trojans flashed back to last week, when they held an identical lead over Ogemaw Heights before the Falcons came back to knot it up at 21-21 in the third quarter. Central rallied in the fourth to earn a 49-21 win, but the Trojan players didn't want to be in the same situation.
So they forced a three-and-out on West's first two drives of the second half, setting up field position for a short 25-yard drive that ended in a T.J. Schepperly 33-yard pass to Ethan Campbell for a 28-7 lead.
A sack by Mitch Wynkoop gave West an 8-yard loss and helped stymie the Titans' second drive of the half.
"Going into halftime last week against Ogemaw, we were up 21-7 and we let them tie it up," Wynkoop said. "We just didn't want that to happen again. So we really fought hard and won the second half."
"The biggest thing when we came out was to hit," Schepperly said. "We came out the first half and we did a pretty good job of setting a tone. But the second half, we had to crack down. With what happened last week, being up big and then having them come back, we really had to set the tone in the second half."
Campbell ended up figuring into four of the Trojans' six touchdowns — all in his first start of the season.
With normal starting fullback and middle linebacker Nate Pupel out with a deep thigh bruise, Campbell stepped into his place on offense and Josiah Wild-Lopez on defense as the Trojans halted West's two-game win streak in the rivalry series.
"All around, our defense really stepped up," Wynkoop said. "We had Nate Pupel out, and Josiah Lopez-Wild stepped up and really filled that role well."
Campbell did as well.
After TC West (4-2, 3-1 Big North Conference) went up 7-0 on a 3-yard run by Grant Ellison, Campbell didn't let the Titans' only lead of the game last very long, returning the ensuing kick 99 yards to even it up 7-7 after Jake Gorter's extra point.
"We were three-and-out and then they went up 7-0," Passinault said. "Then to have that run to come right back to tie the game, you could just feel on the sidelines how big a play that was. We have some good 10th-graders on our team, and Ethan stepped up when (T.J.) Schwannecke's shoulder got banged up a little bit."
A senior, Pupel was the first Trojan player to get to handle the Nowak-Olson Trophy, carrying it over to the Central student section as the team joined the students in the school fight song.
"He's a huge leader on our team," Adle said. "During the week he said we had to step up. He was vocal on the sidelines, so that was great."
Schepperly added a 19-yard touchdown pass to Drew Reamer for a 14-7 lead and Campbell's 22-yard TD run gave Central a 21-7 halftime bulge.
A Schepperly 33-yard pass to Campbell — as Schepperly was leveled by West's Chris Doherty — gave the Trojans a 28-7 lead with 3:37 left in the third quarter.
West came right back on the strength of its passing game, scoring on a six-play drive in which every down was a pass, ending with an 8-yard roll-out pass from Donny Cizek to Grant Balino. That made it 28-14.
A Tyler Johnson interception gave the Titans the ball back, the game appeared to turn. West again put together a six-play drive of nothing but passes that ended with a Cizek 32-yard, over-the-shoulder pass to Zack McGuire as the pocket was collapsing to draw within a score at 28-21.
Then the back-breaker came on the next play from scrimmage, as Schepperly kept the ball on a sweep to the right, made one cut and was gone for an untouched 60-yard score with 10:16 left on the clock.
"Our wide receivers have done a great job this year blocking," Schepperly said. "And my little brother Joey had a great, great block to set all that up."
The 35-21 lead would expand to 42-21. After West was stalled out when Lopez-Wild and Wynkoop stuffed a fourth-and-2 run, the Trojans marched back the other way, keeping the ball mostly in the hands of Schepperly and Campbell.
"When you have a quarterback like Shepperly, it bails you out of situations," Passinault said. "We had the bad snap that would have been 2nd-and-30 probably, and he turned it into 2nd-and-15. They scored to cut it to seven — and then he had that 60-yard run."
That drive ended in Campbell rolling out on a fake run on 4th-and-8 and finding Scwannecke wide open on a halfback pass for a 28-yard touchdown and a 42-21 lead.
West added a 3-yard TD pass from Cizek for Balino with 2:38 left, but the Titans weren't able to recover the ensuing on-side kick as Adle came up with it.
Cizek set a Central-West game record with 390 yards on 17 of 27 passing.
Campbell led the Trojans with 107 yards rushing on 14 carries, while T.J. Schepperly added 84 yards. Reamer caught four passes for 55 yards.
Lopez-Wild led Central's defense with 12 stops, while Derrick Diver had 11 for West, including three for loss.

YORK — Chris Black honed his math skills as a young boy, adding up costs and making change for customers at his grandfathers general store. If he was wrong, Black recalls, his grandad Punk Black would make him bag ice.
Chris Black was named the new principal of the 1,400-student York Comprehensive High School last month. He officially begins work in the role this week, and said he gained a lot of skills working on his family farm and roadside produce market, Blacks Peaches.
I think thats where I got my people skills from being there and greeting people and getting to know the community, said Black, 38, the oldest of three children of Arthur Black and Debbie Hammond Black. Black said he worked in the fields hauling hay and other crops, and he sold produce.
His father, Arthur Black, said his eldest son displayed an analytical mind from a young age. Chris Black easily made change for customers at the age of 6 or 7, the elder Black said.
During his years at York Comprehensive High School, where he graduated in 1993, Chris Black was active in athletics. He played football and basketball, as well as tennis and baseball.
Black said he loved math. Working with numbers came easily to him, and he planned to study accounting when he headed off to Clemson University. He had no plans for a career in education.
But those plans changed. I came back home for the Christmas holidays, and I helped my old basketball coach with the basketball team, he said. And I said, Hey, I kind of like this coaching gig.
After discussing the matter with his coach, Black changed his major to education.
Black earned a bachelors degree in secondary education with a concentration in mathematics in 1997. He later earned a master of science from the U.S. Sports Academy and a masters degree of secondary administration from the University of South Carolina.
I had never even considered being a teacher, Black said. But life and God kind of work in weird ways. And I know that this is the best place for me. I love teaching; I love coaching; I love every facet of the educational system I love being around the kids.
Black began his career teaching math at York Comprehensive. He moved to the former York Junior High School, where he became an assistant principal, before he moved back to the high school.
As an assistant principal at YCHS, Black was charged with coordinating the activities of ninth-grade students. But he said he tried to take on as many other responsibilities as he could to prepare him for a broader future role. He helped coach Cougars football and basketball as a varsity assistant, and helped with other sports, too, including golf and tennis.
Good mentors like Howard Snelling, principal of York Middle, and Nat Davis, who has since retired as director of student services in the district office, helped prepare him for his new position, Black said.
I honestly didnt expect to be a principal at 38, but I was gearing myself to that.
Black said he aims to be an involved and visible school leader.
Im not a sit behind the desk person a lot, Black said. I get around the school; I get out there with the kids, and I visit with the kids. Im fair to them, I encourage them. But Im going to hold the accountable for what they need to do to be better.
Black said his immediate goal is to gain a grasp of his new, broader responsibilities. He also will be working toward the implementation of the common core system, a consistent standard for what students are expected to learn in each area, which is to be implemented statewide.
He also said he wants to encouraged students to be involved.
One of my philosophies for the students and faculty is, theres so many things we can involve them in, Black said. If theyre active in them, it brings them closer to where were going. Weve got something for everybody, and weve got to make sure students find their fit.

tn weather, good luck with the 10K this weekend.
RIHK, I just get tired because sometimes has read Daniels or Nokes they think they know everything. Problem is that training is also an art in which you have to learn how to apply the science. Besides, to many want to run faster but not put in the work.
Amuse, sometimes you have to be careful with the tough simulator workouts. They can become races and you leave your true race performance out on the road in training. You are correct, weather and profile can kill you. Not to mention, just being a little bit off on race day.
PR's 5k - TBD, 10K - 33:30 1980, HM - 1:19:22, MAR - 2:44:50
2014 Goals 5k - 16:45, 10k - 35:00, HM - Sub 1:16:30, MAR - 2:39:59
Not a lot of shoe talk lately, so I thought I'd chime in on the subject. I'm switching from my standard Lunar Racers to the Adios for race day. I decided the LR's just had a little too much give and wanted something firmer that provides a bit more efficient energy transfer. I've gotten a few runs in on them so far, I'm quite pleased.
Up next, TCM
IRR: That's my new go-to shoe, as well. They're pricey, though! I ran in one pair to make sure I liked them and they seem to last about 400 miles before I felt I needed to allocate them to recovery runs and shorter easy runs. I have a new pair in waiting that I'll break out for St. George and the occasional workout. I intend to use them for Tucson.
tn_weather: Great 800s -- good luck in the 10k.
nimmalS: You too -- hope you get the W.
nimmalS: that's a nasty workout.
I don't think there's a legitimate test for the marathon outside of the actual race. It's one of the things that makes the event particularly tricky. You'd think irunforbeer would have broken 2:40 after running 22 or 23 with 17 @ 6:04, but weird things happen with weather, course profiles, etc. Not to pick on him, of course -- he's the Moose Mug champ, after all.
Matt: I'm glad the run went well. Strange things, these bodies.
A Muse, I would normally agree. Some people believe in Yasso 800s and I don't care for them. I think I can run 14-16 800Ms in 2:25 to 2:30 and I have run 10 and 12 in sub 2:30. I have it in my 1998 log book. I was not even in marathon shape. This was a group workout when I ran for a club. I can do 800M in 2:30s with my eyes close. But I would not ever consider trying to run a sub 2:30.
For me the "Truth Run" is my version of Yasso 800s. I pay close attention to how I run the last six miles which are faster than goal pace to simulate the harder effort needed for the second half of the marathon. When I can run the last three miles in 5:53, 5:50, 5:30 in an actual marathon, you see why my workout I called the truth....
Its a much better workout than 20M with 14@ MP pace. I guess its not for everyone. Still me and my buddy ran 2:35 and 2:40 and we think it was the most beneficial of our runs. I actually have one scheduled in two weeks,
nimmals, that is a nasty workout. The last 6 is what would kill me but that is the point. Problem is is that my current 10 mile race race pace is around that pace so I can't sustain it at this point. But then again, I am not in sub 2:40 shape yet either.
How many weeks before the marathon do you run this. I am assuming 4 or 5 weeks out.
Yes, Just about 4 weeks. You adjust for your goal. If your goal is 6:00 (1st 6M in 6:00; 2nd 6M in 5:50) or
If your goal pace is 6:10 (1st 6M in 6:10; 2nd 6M in 6:00). You guys praise ins and out right? Then imagine it's like a reverse extended in and out.
Thanks A Muse, as long as I don't go out with Trafeh, I should be good.
Marathon: 2:48:41 (4/2011) 25k: 1:38:17 (3/2010) 10k: 37:10 (4/2011)... A long time ago....
That makes sense. I would have done 6:10 goal pace which would still be a good tough one. I will have to try this. I agree with your comment to Amuse above. Yasso 800's do absolutely nothing for me and I won't even do them. To me it is a long sustained effort at or slightly below MP that tells me if the goal is doable or not.
Thanks DCV!
They are direwolves up there.
Beyond the Wall?
IRR - the adios has always been my race shoe, since gebressellasie won Berlin on them! I like the heel drop compared to the lunar racer, and sufficient cushion in front and back. Not convinced yet by the new Boost version, but will probably give them another go. Amuse, I assume you are still in the pre-Boost generation? But indeed, pricey for such a short lasting shoe...
TN - I see the benefit in trail running as strengthening mostly, as trail running involves hills excessively and trains your lateral stabilizing muscles, since you turn and twist much more. I do tend to run trails once a week for that purpose. The danger is however if a trail gets too technical, there is a real injury risk if you want to keep up speed... The injury risk is why I caution against trail running or the technical variety of it!
TN / nimmalS - good luck w the 10k races and you dudes are fast!
nimmalS - I see the point about your truth run... Might incorporate something similar in my last weeks as a quasi MP test...
nimmals, good luck tomorrow. Crush it!!!!
Thanks Run-inHK, Thanks DKG
Good luck tomorrow TN.
IRR - I'm bummed that Mizuno is dropping the Precision. I really like the 13. They replaced it with the Sayonara which is getting some rave reviews. Anyone tried that shoe? The new Wave Rider is completely redesigned and may be worth looking at again when it comes out in Dec. I still miss the WR13 and let Shoeguy over in the Shoe forum know that every once in a while.
runinhk - No doubt about the injury risk. The last real trail run I did I ended up on my face and tweaked my TFL. Dirt roads are about as adventurous as I get but I think adding some trails...they are pretty tame around here...might add some spice to my routine.
Thanks for throwing the luck my way guys. Looking forward to racing with temps in the mid 50s.
Good luck to all the guys racing this weekend.
18 Days of no running for me (toe injury). On the upside I rediscovered what the inside of a weight room looks like, all the little niggles that go along with marathon training seem to have disappeared, and I dusted off my bike in the last few days to try to keep the aerobic fitness in check.
Hopefully back in business come Monday.
I keep switching between the Adios and Ronins as my training and marathon shoe: I actually find they both last really well. Unfortunately both models look like they'll be discontinued so I'll be trying out some different ones soon. I have one brand new pair of Ronin's I'll use for the last two weeks of training and my marathon.
The Adios Boost is not particularly light; I might try a pair for winter since the material is supposedly good when cold. Adidas has very poor distribution here, so I'm not sure where I'll find a pair. Wouldn't want to race in them due to weight.
Looks like many of you are getting temperatures that are nice for running finally: we are on the edge of getting cold now. 38 degrees this morning for my run: good racing temp but cool when you're not pushing. Good luck for those racing!
Matt, I'd take it easy for a week or so before pushing the Achilles: that is a slow healing area if it really gets inflamed.

Is the Ronin on its way out? Bummer.....that's my go to marathon shoe.
PR's: 5K - 16:18, 10K - 35:12, HM - 1:18:39, M - 2:43:37
2013 Goals: 5K - 16:30 (7/28/2013), 10K - 35:00, HM - 1:15, M - 2:45 (4/15/13)
nimmalS: Sounds like you were ready for anything! That's a great result.
A Muse - I gave the guy a lot of credit he had run some good times and beat the women the previous year. I guess he had a bad day. When the women attacked after 4 miles I didn't react as I was waiting for my rivals to do the same but it never materialized. At 5.2 miles I decided to go, the 8 women who where ahead of me were now spread out. I caught 6 of them in the last half mile and was closing on the other two but the race was over. If I only I had ran for time instead of waiting for a ghost.
nimmalS - wow a 33 without being pushed too hard. Is that close to a PR?
Michael - did a 13miler yesterday in 90F... still f***** hot here... but humidity has come down to bearable levels. Interesting to hear about the Adios Boost being heavier... do you think this is now more a sort of fast trainer as compared to a racer?
I had a good week with 90m again after only 50m last week due to illness. Did good quality w 10*1km @ 3:38 on Tuesday; 45min tempo progression from 95-105% MP averaging at 101%MP or 6:10min/mile on Friday; and today a 18m long run with 5*1.5km in/outs at 100/95% MP or 6:12/6:30min/mile. Was supposed to do 7*in/out. but packed it in after 5 as I lost concentration... ah well, still a good 55min hard effort as part of a long run. The hard long runs are progressing to solid MP efforts later in this cycle, so this was another step in that direction. Otherwise only ran 1 double, and had good single-runs with 12-13-14m mid-week long runs and a 18m Sunday long run. Feel good overall, although today was tough (lack of sleep / too many beers yesterday too).
As in the weather forecast... we are being hit by typhoon Usagi, so hopefully tomorrow morning off and some time for a recovery jog.
Weekly Miles:
Monday 8.03 @ 7:44
Tuesday 8.01 @ 7:42
Wednesday 12.16 w/6 x 1 mile @ 5:44 avg with 1:20 jog recoveries (6:36 entire run)
Thursday 8.19 @ 7:49
Friday 9.32 @ 7:23
Saturday 14.64 @ 7:27
Sunday 10.04 @ 7:44
Total Miles 70.39
Just one more sessions with a few miles at MP and just some really easy miles next week. Ready to roll.
RiHK: Strong week. Those workouts sound really good, even cutting back on the in/out
dkggpeters: nice to see you in full taper mode.
Tucson Marathon Training, week 7 of 18:
M: 5.3 recovery (7:55) with some trails and 5x12 second hill sprint (12% grade)
T: 7 moderate (6:45)
W: off
Th: 6.2 easy (7:28)
F: 15.1 w/3x3k in 3:42, :43, :48 (bridge) (6:02/mi); 3:40, :35, :34 (5:50/mi); 3:32, :32, :33 (5:43/mi)
Sa: 7.2 easy, with add-on trails (7:59)
Su: 20 at 6:42: 5 easy + 3 MP (6:13, 6:03, 6:03) + 2 easy + 2 MP (6:12, 6:04) + 2 easy + 2 MP (6:18, 5:52) + 4 easy. "easy" ended up around 6:55
Total: 61 miles
This is a tale of two weeks in one. On Thursday I finished a long work project from which I hadn't had a day off in over 3 weeks. The deadline really got to me this week, as I was exhausted from too little sleep. This accounts for the minimal amount of running I did from M-Th. But on Friday I had one of the better runs of the cycle: I've matched those paces on a previous tempo but I felt so much more comfortable this time around. I definitely suffered the last 1k, though. It actually ended at the 11-mile mark of the run. Today's long run was a bit surprising since I really didn't feel that motivated. I was doing a lot of bargaining with myself, but never took the offer. I pushed too hard, though, since I really only needed 6:12's on the workout segments. I just don't have that pace dialed in yet.
My log notes a couple of trail days, just getting back to an earlier discussion. I like the trails for any run considered 'general aerobic.' If it interferes with recovery or if I need to focus on particular paces I'll stay on the roads, but otherwise I think it helps avoid overuse and it strengthens dominant and support muscles in the legs and feet. Actually, I do a fair mix of terrain during the week for this reason. I'm fortunate that as rigorous as the local trails can be, you can still run them -- no power hiking, and very little tiptoeing through hazards.
Amuse, Nice Friday and Sunday session. I have a hard time not running the MP miles to fast when I break them down into blocks. It always seems to take me more then a few miles to really settle in to the correct pace.
Being busy at work and dealing with the pressure of hitting the deadlines can make it difficult to do training sometimes.
The long run was a variant of Canova's 'long resistance, long variations' idea. The big gaps between 'MP' segments really do make it tough to dial in by effort, but it keeps extending the run so you hit the harder paces later and later in the run. It's not supposed to be that hard -- sort of an introductory MP workout. I tend to do most of my MP stuff with breaks, but they're usually only a couple of minutes.
M 9.7, 7:35/miT 4, 7:45/mi and 11.4 w/4x2k in 6:58(5:35/mi), 6:45/mi avgW 9.8, 7:28/miTh 6.2, 8:10/mi and 6.3, 7:40/miF 12.2 w/12x400 around 80 sec. 6:53/miSa 5 hilly trails 9:45/mi, and 8, 7:18/miSu 14.9, 7:18/mitotal 87.5, 7:28/misecond week of ~90 mpw. got 13th overall in a strava mileage challenge for the last 16 days. ran 202 miles. i'm also in 13th in the september mileage challenge at 263 (but you wont see me in the results, not every run was gps)
as for the legs, i'm feeling good. may try to hit 100 next week
2014 Goals: 15:29 5000m 32:29 10000m in the spring
DKG - Nice tempo intervals on your Wednesday. I still think you should be well positioned for a very low 2:40, based on your paces, but this depends on weather and terrain as well.
Amuse - Nice Friday tempo... I will be looking at a similar exercise this week, as I need to nail those slightly higher speeds 105-107% MP in the next weeks. I'll probably do a similar 4*11:30 min at 105%MP this week. Hope the work pressure is gone now and allows for more consistent weekly mileage...
Still 6wks of hard training to go, so still have room to tweak a bit. Otherwise feel good despite the mileage, which is a positive. I always feel much better the next day if my long run is shorter in time / distance (18m fast yesterday), as the wear on my joints is much less. Less is more anyone? But really, I do feel that with lots of mid-week mileage I should get away w slightly shorter long runs...
nimmalS - Nicely done.
runinhk - Great looking week. You are doing some terrific quality.
dkgg - I'm sure the legs are feeling good now that you are unloading some mileage.
Amuse - Glad the project is done now you can get back to the important project. lol. Your workouts look really good and it is a good sign that you can nail a workout even when you aren't gassed up for it.
unireed - Looks like you are building a good base for the season ahead.
My week:
M: 8.0 easy (7:34)
T: 8.0 easy (7:17)
W: 8.0 easy (7:04)
T: 8.9 w/ 4 x 800s (2:30, 2:34, 2:29, 2:33) avg recovery 2:09
F: 6.3 easy (7:26)
S: 18.9 - 3.8 @ 7:35 (warm up), 10k @ 33:58 2nd OA, 1st master, 8.9 @ 7:54 (cool down) w/ 6.5 on trails
week: 58.1
Turns out that the series leader must have watched Best of Both Worlds before the race because he went all Picard on me. Weather was great this morning...temp 56F. Along with the series leader several other local fast guys showed up. The series leader ran the same course 2 weeks prior in 34:39. I immediately went to the front and laid down the hammer. The series leader was on me immediately and we ran side by side to the top of the first hill and then he led back down. We were flying. Mile 1: 5:13! Hmmm that was a little fast for a net +15ft uphill mile! I back off a bit and SL(series leader) opens a gap. Mile 2: 5:26. Mile 3: 5:25. Feeling pretty decent. The effort is hard but I'm holding it together well. This is the low point (elevation wise) of the race and I'm +20 sec on 34 min pace. Now we start a couple of gradual uphill miles. Every once in a while the leader looks like he is faltering but he stubbornly maintains a 8-10 sec advantage. Mile 4: 5:40. Mile 5: 5:41. We are now at the highest point of the course and I'm 5 sec over 34 pace. We hit the downhill heading up to mile 6 marker and it seems that I am reeling him in a little. However on the small hill up to mile 6 he seems to put it in another gear. Mile 6: 5:26. He really stretches out the last .2 (one more hill in there) and he finishes in 33:45...me 33:58. Did the last .21 @ 5:09 pace or so. Disappointed that I couldn't seal the deal but stoked at the sub 34. I was also excited to beat a local legend by 14 secs. He isn't in top shape but I'll choose to not remember that part. lol. Feel like my fitness is popping nicely. After the race went for a nice cool down on the nearby trails. A good way to end a successful week.
Continuing to ramp up. On my 62nd day of running now and starting to feel a little better. Endurance starting to catch up, weight continuing to drop and introduction of intervals/tempos improving the threshold a bit. Hopeful that a couple more weeks in the high 60s/low 70s with good diet that I'll get back to peak weight and we'll see some more improvement. I'm still taking it gently and running my non quality days pretty slow.
Last Marathon - Napa - 2:46 Next up - CIM 12/7
tn_weather: sub-34! Awesome.
Reed: Nice 4x2k and solid mileage.
troutpan: great week, and well done dealing with the nasty headwind. I like Saucony but really don't like the Kinvara, for some reason. A similar shoe is the NB 1400, which works much better for me. I run in the Fastwitch and A3s (now A4s). If I were to race a half right now I'd use Asics Hyperspeeds or the Adidas Adios. My long runs haven't had that much MP yet, but they will eventually.
Run-in-HK it was a PR. Which in itself was a surprise as I was not able to do specific training for it.
tnWeather - Congratulations on the sub 34. That's awesome "Old Man"
*Wonders if Unireed or any of the "Young Ones" have gone sub 34???*
Mon - Evening 6.12 miles with 14 * 20 second hill sprints @ 90% effort
Tue - Ran 10 miles easy morning. Ran 1 mile easy in evening
Wed - 8 miles easy w/ 4*400M pickups in evening.
Thu - 8 miles easy in the evening
Fri - 5 Miler easy morning run, 6 miles easy in evening @8:10 pace.
Sat - 13.7 miles in morning included a 33:42 10K race, 7 miles easy in the evening.
Sun - 16 miles in morning 4*4 mile hilly loop. 6 miles easy in evening.
Total 85.82 Mile Week
YTD Mileage 2,411.12
tn_weather- Way to go on sub-34! It sounds like the series leader was doing a bit of sand bagging a few weeks ago.
PRs: Mile-4:48, 5k-16:19, 10k-34:09, HM-1:15:06
Last Race: 16:36 5,000m Summer Nights Track Series 6/25/14
Next Race:
JWSKILLY - So I am looking at the chart on page 1 and was amazed at the month of May, May seems like the best time to run a marathon at least for this forum. Its not as early as Boston and gives you a little more time to get rolling. The fastest three times were run in May on the same day May 5th. 4 of the 5 fastest times were run in May.
IRR if you had three extra weeks its very likely you would have hit 2:35. Your Boston time is the only almost sub 2:40 not run in May.
We are planning a real fast CongaLine in Boston. I hope you join us.
You just wait slammin....you just wait
no 10ks during xc that i know of, but i may do one on thanksgiving that i did last year in 36:05ish (got a cramp)
i'll likely be shooting for 32:50s to shut you up
Thanks for the congrats guys!
troutpan - Nice week with a couple of great workouts.
nimmalS - Another great week on your part. Are you doing a fall marathon? I'll join that train in Boston.
unireed - Sorry buddy you are going to have to run a 31:45 for the equivalent age grade. You hit a sub 33 though and I'll let it slide...at least for this year. lol
Amuse - I plan on doing that ladder you suggested next week ahead of that 24 hr mile on/mile off relay. Do you think a 400/800/1200/800/400 is appropriate? 400 @ 2 mi pace, 800 @ 2mi -5k pace, 1200 @ 5k pace. 2-2:30 recoveries.
TN - Great time and coming in second as well! Hope you recover well for that relay...
Troutpan - Nice week... lots of stroller running! I do a hard long run, with the hard parts progressing to MP, every 2nd week now as well... is indeed tough, and need to recover a bit more in the week after. However, so far it seems to work.
nimmalS - I thought about a May marathon for 2014. December is usually a write off after a fall marathon, January requires some base mileage, and can only start building again in February. I will probably do something in Europe around early May.
Uni - I see you going sub 33 sooner than later... you are putting up a lot of hard work and in nimmalS terms are still a 'young one'. I am neither 'young' nor 'old' (36), so I'll keep middling around with my 10K times...
As to shoes... I use the Adios for speed work / racing and the Boston for the miles. Do you guys always use the same shoe to rotate? I normally rotate two pairs of Boston, but thinking of introducing something new for variety sake... Maybe the Adidas Tempo again or the Wave Rider... Not sure what the NB or Nike (we don't have Saucony, Brooks here) equivalent of the Boston is (i.e. light-ish trainer).
tn weather really nice sub 34. Looks like you still have speed.
RIHK i rotate different shoes to use different feet muscles. otherwise, whats the point of rotating? it makes no difference how long you wait until wearing shoes again...1 day...2 days...etc. days, not hours though.
31:45 seems doable soon enough. if i hit my 5000m goals next year, i'd be really close to 31:xx anyway.
for now...it's all about the 8k
Uni - I rotate to extend the life of my shoes... I feel they last longer when they have a chance to dry properly. Before the Boston, I used to have a heavy (long runs), medium and light shoe... but since I ditched the heavies, I tend to go with mostly medium (i.e. the Boston). I will walk past the shoe store and see whether they have anything different in stock, as I have to recycle my previous set!
Apparently the cushioned materials in running shoes take more than 24 hours to return to normal. So there's reason to rotate both for the performance of the shoe and extending its life.
tn_weather: That's a good ladder but I have no sense of whether it is the right volume for you as you shoot for that mile on/off event.

Deep editorial thoughts, from the Buffalo News Opinion shop, about teaching in school and learning in politics.
- Sherrod in the vortex - Buffalo News Editorial
The Shirley Sherrod moment was one that had to come -- for better and for worse. The lunatic frenzy of false accusation, gutless overreaction and shame-faced comprehension represents the inevitable collision of some of the most powerful and elemental forces of American society: racism; the media; broken politics; and the power of the federal government, reaching right into the White House, home of the nation's first black president.
Sherrod was dragged into a vortex of insanity not of her own making. An African-American and an official in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Sherrod was portrayed as a racist in a maliciously truncated video that made it appear as though she had once denied her full energies to a white farmer in difficulty. ...
Yet in between release of the edited version and the full one, Sherrod was fired by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, criticized by the likes of Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and even the NAACP chapter to which Sherrod had made her speech. Vilsack, O'Reilly and the NAACP have since apologized -- as has President Obama -- and Vilsack has offered Sherrod a new job in the Agriculture Department. He said he wants his agency "to learn from this experience."

The Alaska Wildlife Troopers have cited a woman for allegedly feeding game on her Kenai Peninsula Property.
Yesterday, the Wildlife Troopers based out of Soldotna issued the citation to 58-year-old Charmaine Lundy of Nikiski for feeding game.
Wildlife Troopers allege that Ms. Lundy had provided a bale of Alfalfa to feed a calf moose on her property.
Bail was set at $300.
** Comments on this story do not represent the thoughts and / or opinions of KSRM Radio Group, Staff, Management or Sponsors. **
Bail? Was she incarcerated?
The Wildlife "Troopers" could have sent the office secretary out to write that citation. Don't the wildlife troopers have anything better to do?
We don't ever see them making real cases out in the field or on the river.
If this calf moose was starving then I would call her act of kindness excusable!!! Go get a real offender!!

My name is Chris Munce I am 15 years old and live in Carrickfergus a town about 10 miles outside Belfast. I am a keen rugby player and play for both Carrickfergus Rugby Club and the Ulster Development Squad. Along with my dad I am a London Irish fan and have been a season ticket holder for the past two and a half years. I try to get to as many games as possible in the season, last year I managed 12 and so far 3 this season.This is how my weekend starts to see the boys.
Saturday 2nd November
4.30am: Alarm goes off, time for a shower and time to hit the road. My mum doesn't really enjoy this bit but hey that's what mums do!!
5.35am: Arrive at George Best Airport in Belfast for the 06.35am flight to London Heathrow.
08.10am: Touch down at London Heathrow and head out to the arrivals where my dad will be waiting for me. He is always the one with the LIRFC shirt on. I think he sleeps in it.
09.00am: Head down the M4 to Reading where my dad lives and get a wee snooze in on the way. I know he is talking tactics all the way down but I need a bit of shut eye.
10.00am: At home at my dads but Saints match is not until tomorrow so might as well go into town and let him part with some money
5.00pm: Did well today, new iPad and phone, watching the England match.
11.00pm: Catch up on other games and off to bed.
Sunday 3rd November
10.00am Well you don't expect a teenager to be up before this on a Sunday. MATCH DAY.
12.00pm: Showered, changed, fed, LI shirt on ready to head of to the Madstad. Especially looking forward to seeing James O'Connor starting today, lots of talk during the week. Might even get to meet him.
1.00pm: Get to the Madstad and Chat with Andy Fenby who my dad and I sponsor.
1.30pm: Get to our seats and see Colin who I sit beside and have a bit of Banter.
2.00pm: Kick off.
3.30pm: Full time. Disappointed. We could have beat Saints but boys still played well.
4.00pm: Head up into the Princess suite where we meet the lovely Chloe Bray who has surprised me by organising a photo with James O'Connor. WOW. This has just made the weekend for me and she also got me a shirt signed. Had a quick chat with my favourite player Humps and my dad is already waving his arms in the air as I need to get to the airport.
5.15pm: Leave the Madstad and straight on the M4. Dad still talking about the game and re running it all over again. Time for another wee snooze.
6.10pm: Arrive at terminal 1 Heathrow and run straight into security and to the gate.
6.45pm: On the plane and sitting comfortably. Quick SMS to Dad to let him know.
8.05pm: Arrive back in Belfast after another great weekend.
9.00pm: Back home quick bite and some homework school tomorrow baaahhhhh.
Three weeks to my next match and then Paris in December. COYI.
I bleed Green.

CLINTON — In the three weeks since the Clinton Public Library basement was flooded, city and library staff have been working to repair the damage, but the fixes are far from being complete and the Root Cellar remains closed.
When the Clinton area received more than four inches of rain within 24 hours last month, many Clinton residents experienced flooding. The main branch of the Clinton library was no exception. The basement floor was covered with water, ruining tile, carpet and drywall. Four feet of water filled the elevator shaft, which mixed hydraulic fluid into the water and put the elevator temporarily out of commission.
While Library Director Amy Birtell deals with repairing the flooding, she is also in the midst of a library assessment that will determine the future of her facility.
"On the one hand, this is perfect timing. We're taking steps to make permanent improvement to the library," Birtell said. "This is just another sign that something has to be done."
Since the flooding occurred and the water was pumped out of the basement, a new sump pump and elevator pump were installed. The elevator is back in service and cost the library $10,000 to repair.
The downstairs offices, including Birtell's, have new carpet and repaired drywall. Before the new carpet was laid, Birtell had to work from a laptop in the area outside her office.
While Birtell's office and the elevator have been repaired, other areas of the basement have not been.
The floor in the technical processing room, where books and magazines are prepared to be put on shelves, books are mended and deliveries are taken, remains covered in buckling and crumbling asbestos tiles. Birtell said they discovered in that area water had not only leaked into the room, but come up from the ground.
