DJW - he will probably be at home with my wife, neither one of them will like sub 50 degree temps. I may be going alone or with my mom to the race.
turfy - thanks!
piwi - you should be in real estate ... there is a nice view of the countryside over here and over there you could pee and poop wherever you want and only the sheep will know!
brent - yep, you are recovered, already looking at your next marathon, haha. Good luck with whatever one you choose and setting up your new training plan.
Me - 4 miles at about 9:00/mile recovery pace today then cooldown. Went at the gym because I have had some bad allergies the past 3 days. Weird thing is that once I get about a half mile into my run my nose stops running, I clear up and feel great until after my run. Going to take it pretty easy and try to get rid of this by friday night. Taking a sick day tomorrow at work because runny noses and handling food don't go together very well.

Pk: Thanks and have fun out of town. It is always nice to run in new places. Keep safe though.
DJW: So you have like a flat place to do speed work? Hope the pain is nothing serious. Train smart though just in case.
Turfy: Thanks and hope your tempo run goes well.
Brent: I am a big fan of AM running as you can tell. I do find that it takes a little bit longer to warm up when I run in the mornings as opposed to running in the PM.
am run: 6.14 miles @ average pace of 8:20 / pm run: 4.14 miles @ average pace of 7:38.

Run- weather for us has been nice the past 5 days in the 80s, but it's gonna heat back up again this weekend to over 90. Have fun on the 5 miler, sounds like a good plan on pace, cruise intervals pretty much?
Joe- man I saw that, that's crazy, tons of respect to that guy! I used to hate 100 miles races b/c they ran them "slow" like 8-9+ min pace, but they've improved steadily over the years to sub 8, and wowt 7:12 for 100 miles… that's just insane! Best wishes about your race and about the coming addition to the family.
Brent- great RR, was a good read during some downtime at work. great job again. And man, that's quick turnover for another race, I'd be done for at least 3-4 weeks trying to run a half after a full. Maybe a 5k or something, but wow. Looks like you've taken a lot out of the race. Def agree with your assessment. A good thing is that you ran a 1:32 half with half to go. That's a good sign you're def in sub 1:30 shape. Spring marathon eh? Yeah… haha marathons aren't my thing, at least not until I move from san Antonio. Too hot to train here for them.
Spil- thanks. Trip was great. Good luck on Chicago, we've got some people going up there for it. One of these years I'll run it, but that means I need to run a full marathon again. And that won't be until I think I can BQ, which for the next 5+ years for me is 3:05 or better. I think you've got a 3:30 in you.
Djw- initially 10k effort, but right before we started, it was changed to 5k effort. Will likely do an easier tempo tomorrow, my legs are pretty tired. Great intervals, that's killer again! But what else to expect from you. Hope the pain is nothing again.
bb- this is the time for 4x1mi, I did them yesterday, you did them too, djw did them last week. that's a solid workout, esp with the wind! Wind can break a workout, looks like you didn't let it beat you. Great job!
Jaime- thanks. 16.1 isn't a pr, just my longest of the year. But still a good run. Nice job on the 10k within the run. Solid pace.
Pk- just wanted to let you know you're an animal. I was talking to a friend of mine, he'll be 40 next year and he was talking about declining times. I told him we've got a guy older than you on the forum shooting for sub 3. He was amazed. Hope you get runs in with the family time.
Turfy- good luck on the tempo run, I'm sure it'll be fast fast fast!
Hatulz- we've got the same amount of people roughly here in san Antonio. 1.38mil. but luckily I live in texas, land of bbq/beer and overweight people. And we've got a ton of races all the time so the runners are spread out. Usually the winners are in the 15/16s here. So maybe in a few years I'll have a chance at winning.
Me- legs were a little fatigued from Saturday's 16 miler still, LRs def take the most time for me to recover from I think. But anyways, yesterday's 4x1mi with 400m rest was initially going to be easy at 10k pace (6:20), but last minute change to 5k pace (6 flat), still keeping the same rest.
Anyways, splits:
Avg: 5:57.7/mi (3:43.6/km)
Happy with the workout, it was much easier than when I did 6x1k with 400m jog slightly slower at 6 flat pace, despite being a longer distance.
This morning I did 6 easy recovery miles on 12 hour turnover, so the legs were a bit stiff. Will try for a shortened tempo tomorrow morning of 4 miles instead of 6, but boy do I suck at morning tempos.

Hatulz- Way to keep after it buddy!
Pk- I love wide open spaces…I can't stand running next to a bunch of cars. I hope you do the time trial. Thanks for pushing me for the 36min 10k. I couldn't let you down.
Jaime- I prepare for my quality runs as if it were a race. I take them seriously because I know they will help me be my best come race day. I just read Nick Symmonds (the 800meter guy) say" I try to imagine myself on the start line of an important race and imagine how nervous I will feel. I want to give that nervous, future self the gift of being as prepared as possible." I'm sure you are doing them just fine…I just wanted to let you know what I do.
Run- nice double.
Philly- Heck of a 4x1600 for you. Love to see those splits under 6:00!
Spilima- Enjoyed reading your interview. I think the goal of beating your high school pr's is great. 28 years running is incredible…nice photos as well.
Me: The tempo went well tonight. The wind was much better than last week and I had PK calling me out for a 36min 10k looming over my head.

DJW: Nice speed workout, sorry about the foot pain, hope it's nothingHatulz/bbonnel: Thanks for the well wishes. Bbonnel, nice 4x1 mile tooRun: AM running is always hard for me, I give you credit for getting out there.Brent: I think you were a little aggressive regarding pacing but there's a risk/reward aspect that makes this the right thing to do. Your training paces seemed to support it. Thanks again for doing these interviews, it's a great idea. Actually, Neither Yanks or Sox. Mets (and Orioles). Good luck next week, I think you'll have it. I raced Philly HM two weeks after running the full in NYC a few years ago, and I thought it was enough recovery time for me. Hope you are the same. Glad to see you are already planning the next marathon. What about Grandma's? Jamie: Yes, regarding live tracking - I'm bib number 5135. Nice 10k tempo. Regarding the disparity between training paces and race paces I have a question. Is it possible that you may not be warming up much prior to your training runs therefore it is harder to run at the same paces as in a race? Joe: First of all good luck on the delivery. To answer your question, No, I wouldn't say I was more tired than after a good tempo effort. It felt like it was close to MP, but maybe not MP. Really, I took the time off as a precaution, I wanted to get this run in at least 14 days prior to race day, but I wasn't able to spare the time until mid-week last week. As for goals, I would foremost like to run the whole thing. When I ran NYC, I was at about 3:48 pace and really blew up the last 4 or 5 miles (finish 3:59). I'd like to run the whole thing without needing to stop and walk. So I have a part of mind to go out conservative. On the other hand, my brother is running the Philly Marathon in a few weeks (early Nov), so I have some incentive to put down a time that will be hard for him to beat :-). I think 3:45 is the B goal with the A goal of 3:38. I'm planning on working up to pace slowly by starting at 8:45 pace for the first 6 miles, 8:30 pace for the next 6 and then 8:15 and down to 8:00 for the rest of the way. Philly: Awesome splits on that tempo. Turfy: Thanks, I guess i have been running for a long time. It's funny, but I'm always sort of surprised how many people get into running later in life, when maybe people like me are really the exception. You'd think I'd be faster than I am ha ha…. really nice tempo.. I think you need to adjust your sig line :-)Me: Tapering!! Did 5.5 at 7:30 pace with the local running group on monday and took tues and today off. Probably will do 3M easy tomorrow.

My running log
turfy - smoking tempo. That's a pretty short warm up too with only 1 mile. I usually need at least 2, sometimes 3 to get the blood flowing to run that fast for that long.
kiwi - wide open running is the way to go. I grow very tired of having to dodge cars and other pedestrians sometimes. Yeah General T is quite impressive. Lol, you're reminding me of a guy in the marathon I paced my dad along in. He was actually running slightly faster than my dad was, but wasn't gaining any ground because he stopped to pee at random spots at least 10 times that I counted.
Jaime - I'd love to give you my thoughts, but I tend to have the same affliction...with longer intervals anyway. I find it quite hard to match my 5k pace during training. The long tempos I can go faster than HM pace without really killing myself though.
hatulz - your posts always make me hungry!
philly - nice intervals. Good luck with that early morning tempo, the two times I tried that were epic fail.
RAN - yes I do have a nice flat road that's about 1.4 miles in length that's not too busy of a road either. It obviously incorporates several turn arounds during tempos, but I've gotten the 180 degree turn down to a science. There's a light pole that I grab with my right arm and swing around and immediately gun it the opposite way (kind of like when batman would shoot a grapple hook on a building to make a sudden turn, lol).
Joe - that sucks, hope you get better especially by Friday.
brent - I do hope you get your sub 90, you definitely have put in the work for it. I don't like going to the Dr either, I've been twice in the last 20 or so years (besides needing stitches several times).
Splima - I read the blog, thanks for doing it. That's awesome that you've got a running family history. Wow, starting to race at age 6! Crazy.
Another 9 miler at an easy pace last night. No pain in the foot during the run or this morning either. Therefore: 'All systems go' for 10k tempo planned tonight.
PRs: 5k - 16:26, HM - 1:17:53
2014 Goals: 5k -15:59, HM - 1:16:59
Kiwi - Please don't reinforce stereotypes involving kiwis + sheep
philly - great job on the 4x1. I have been once to San Antonio, well, actually to one of the outlet malls outside of town on the way to Austin. My coworker ( I swear to you ) bought 12 pairs of running shoes
I found Texas to be incredibly welcoming (even though I only stayed 2 weeks in Austin), people are so friendly you feel like a king.
DJW - good that you're feeling better, I like the Major Tom reference
turfy - holy smokes dude. I like how you run a sub 37 10K in a tempo run and then yawn haha
Spilima - great interview, thanks for sharing
brent - go get that HM, remember to tattoo some Pre's quote and you'll be fine Just don't tattoo it on the plastic , I will show myself out
2014 Goals: 2014 miles (1341 so far), 20% body fat
Philly: I have pretty much stop all track workouts right now in favor of base building over the winter to get ready for next years race season. Plus winter is coming soon and I hate doing speed work on early cold mornings. Awesome job on the intervals.
turfy: Thanks and wow on the tempo. Did it feel at all like a race effort because that is 10k training PR right?
splima: Thanks. The older I get the more I forget so you will have to refresh my memory on what race y ou have coming up.
PK: I like to start the doubles early on and get used to them as I find them a gateway to higher mileage later on. Instead of 6 runs I have 8 or 9 runs to add mileage to.
DJW: We have a place here called the Long Leaf Trace that is around 40 miles in length that is pretty much flat. I need to do more of my runs there but out and backs and flatness is boring to me. Glad the pain has gone away/
hatulz: Anything on the race agenda coming up?
7.15 miles this morning @ average pace of 8:24.
RAN - Two years ago, Minnesota had the greatest winter ever. Last year's felt like the longest. I'm hoping for the former rather than the latter this year... it's definitely coming soon, though. I struggle getting warmed up (woken up?) in the morning, but I've transition to someone who HATES running in the morning to someone who can tolerate running in the morning. I'm a ways off of being a big fan, although I'm gonna really have no choice.
Hatulz - Sad thing I'm much more likely to run the race with a Disney princess tattoo somewhere on my body. My 3-yr old loves some temporary tattoos and I always seem to have a pink tattoo and/or bandaid somewhere on my body as a result.
DJW - Excited to read about your 35 (or so) minute 10k tempo...
PK - I've decided to make this week a tour of all of the restaurants that I never visit. Today was Dairy Queen for lunch and tomorrow I'm eating pizza twice. I'll go back to eating more boring Jimmy Johns with no pop or salad/bagel/banana/yogurt lunch that I eat almost every single day next Monday.
spilima - I certainly was aggressive towards pacing. I think it's pretty accurate to say that more often than not, I am. I think it leads to a lot of up and down performances. I was talking w/ our head XC coach and we both agreed that a conservative approach probably would've led to a faster time, but when you kind of put yourself out there (not stupidly, but within some sort of limits), you are setting yourself up for a possible breakthrough. I actually like what a guy who finished 12th in the Twin Cities Marathon said about taking a risk: "I could have run a conservative race today and likely finished 5th and made $5k, but that's not going to help my long term development. Same thing with Bolder Boulder this year…I took a risk and went out with (Aaron) Braun and (Brent) Vaughn and a handful of other sub 28 minute 10k runners. I struggled a bit and finished about 10 seconds from making about $7,000. Instead I walked home with nothing. However, two of the races I'm most proud of are the Bolder Boulder and today because I took a risk and I'm learning to push my limits…isn't that what the pure beauty of this sport is?" http://tonireavis.com/2013/10/...tional-championship/
Turfy - Solid job on the tempo! You really have some natural impressive running ability. If you can stay healthy and put in the miles, you are going to knock out some really rock solid times...
Philly - I'd certainly be happy with that workout! That's awesome... I have struggles with morning tempos, too. I'm certainly hoping I'm in sub-1:30 shape. I've got a friend who's trying to do the same thing. I think we're gonna try to hit 6:40s for as long as we can...
Joe Dumas - I'm feeling recovered. It's kind of exciting getting a new training plan going although it's kind of daunting to think I'm going to go from the middle of November through the middle of May without a real goal race.
Me - Ran 2.5 easy miles with our girls varsity. My first "post marathon" run. Felt surprisingly good. I actually even hopped into a 50m race up the hills with our top 10 varsity boys. I wasn't first, but I was closer to first than last. Pretty good despite currently being afflicted with "marathon legs." Soreness is all gone, but my legs just don't have the "pop" they did before the race. Hoping that starts to come back by next week. I'm not really planning on doing anything other than easy/recovery stuff the rest of this week, though.

turfy and philly - very nice splits on your runs. Philly's 1 mile intervals were on pace for turfy's sub 37 10k training run. Very nice job to both of you.
splima - that definitely sounds like a doable goal and your marathon in new york sounds like my marathon here in columbus last year. Did the first half on a pace to finish in 3:45 and then started to blow up. I never walked but did have a 3 minute port-a-john break and came in at 3:59:29.
DJW - you have the threshold down because every week at this time the pain is gone again, haha. I took it real easy today, feel bad if I do too much after calling off work. Sinuses seem to be clearing up a little today.
brent - I am going to be relieved to have no goal races after my marathon in 10 days. Although I have been on a plan since February 10th.
Piwi - No experience, but sounds exciting. My solo time trials are my training and I have no crowd or anything, just me, my watch and my water bottle. I didn't use a disguise today, my gym is like 20 minutes from work and nobody from work goes to my gym.
Me - weights today and 2 miles at easy pace. Taking it easy to get over cold, but still make my body remember it has a race in 10 days. Anything I do training wise won't show any benefits, so I figured I would focus on getting rid of sinuses.
Hey all-
I just took a first stab at a sub 1:30 HM, and it was pretty ugly.
The Brussels HM last Sunday was the second race I entered, the first being the Brussels 20K, back in May, which I completed in 1:30:26. The courses were almost the same, namely pretty uneven throughout. My hope was that the 3 months spent training with increased mileage (from about 12-18 to 25/30) would allow me to reach my goal. It was not to be.
I had a hard time "finding" the right pace: although I got to the 5 and 10K markers in about the time I had planned, some of the Ks in between were up to 30 seconds off mark. And, more importantly, I simply wasn't feeling it: this time around, and to a much a greater extent than for the 20K, the slopes were killing me and I wasn't smart enough to adjust and slow down. I think I was hoping I could somehow get in the groove, if only I could hang on long enough. Instead, after covering 2 thirds of the race in 1:01 (a tiny bit slower than goal pace), the wheels came off, and the steepest climb of the course, which is about 1.2 miles, was just too much. At the top of that hill, 1:30 was completely out of reach and I wasn't even able to bring myself to jogging the rest of the course without walking, which I did briefly 3 times. It was a long and disheartening experience to see so many people whiz by me. I finished in 1:41.
In hindsight, it seems that I totally overlooked the nature of the course, be it in training (almost no hills) or in my racing strategy. Strangely, I got away with it in May, but not this time around. Consequently, I looked for another, flatter, HM and I think I've found one where I can make another attempt, in November. The hills won't be a factor there. I'm also thinking about aiming to run a negative split. What I have in mind at this stage is 0-5K: 22:20 : 5-10K: 21:40; 10K-15K: 21:20; 15K-20K: 20:25 ; final 1.1K : 4:10.
The race is in exactly one month's time and I'm tempted to just stick to my 4 sessions per week routine and maybe add an easy run here and there to bump up my mileage a bit.
Started running in September 2012
Current: HM-1:29:52 (10/14) ; 10K-41:35 (6/13-TM) ; 5K-18:57 (10/13-TM)
2014 Goals: HM-1:29:59 ☑ ; race, not just run, a 5K and a 10K
DJW- I would like to run more warm-up miles, but I have to pick up Drew from daycare at a certain time. As we continue to lose daylight, that will get tighter and tighter. Guess I'll just have to run faster.lol Glad the foot is feeling better and nice easy nine.
Run- The first four miles felt like a very good LT pace. The last two miles were more work. I feel like I achieved the goal of the workout though. My 10k PR is just very stale. I think I could run a high 35 or low 36 in a race.
PK- That is an excellent time trial. I think you are underestimating the importance of race day adrenaline and competition. You also have been running like a crazy man and have not done a proper taper for a 5k race. If were going to run a 5k race you would probably add one day a week of speedwork for about 5 weeks. Assuming you did all that I honestly think you could go mid to high 16's. Don't get down on yourself...I think you are much faster than your trial time.
Joe- Way to take er' easy. Get better for that race.
Martin- Welcome and good luck on your HM.
Me: 8 mile recovery run
Turfy- thanks. Man you knocked out that 10k tempo. I can't wait for your race. Gonna be soooo fast. You've got an amazing amount of natural talent. Will be scary how low you'll be able to go.
Spil- haha 4x1mi, not a tempo. Man if I ran a tempo that fast, I'd be in djw/turfy/pk land. Good luck again, I'll be following your race as well!
Pk- haha, nice, be one with nature. Ok, that general t guy is a beast, you're still an animal. I'd say a 17:43 time trial alone is damn fast. So I think you can def PR in a 5K race. Haven't done a time trial in forever though, so no help there.
Djw- man the legs were beat on the tempo, glad I only did 4 miles. glad the foot is ok.
Hatulz- haha, most likely you were at the san marcos outlets. Texans are fairly welcoming I suppose. Just don't talk bad about the dallas cowboys or university of texas longhorns.
Run- thanks. Yeah luckily winter here is nice, it's late spring/early summer that kills me, takes me forever to readjust to the heat.
Brent- great you've got a running buddy. I do too which is nice. However, we really want to break 1:30, but our plan is to start around 7 flat on mile 1 and ease into 6:50 pace plus/minus a few seconds through 10k then see how we feel. Glad the legs are feeling good. I'd still be on the couch.
Joe- haha I know. I felt proud of my run that I sort of held my own with turfy. Even though he's running a 10k at tempo effort and I'm doing intervals… hope the cold goes away very soon.
Martin- sorry the race didn't go as planned, but heck of a job off such low mileage. Best of luck next month.
Me- man the legs were soooo beat this morning, but I managed to get out by 10am for my tempo. Plan called for 5 miles, but I cut it to four considering the 4x1mi on Tuesday evening. Slogged through the warm up and got some stretching in, legs were just so heavy, but I gave it a go. 72 degrees, 78% humidity, not ideal, but not horrific. 1.5mi warmup. Splits: 6:47.5/6:45.5/6:43.8/6:38.3 Avg: 6:43.8 Pleasantly surprised by the pace, effort wasn't crazy, but the legs felt heavy for the first two miles of the tempo. Tomorrow will be an easy day of likely only 4-5 miles, then Saturdays cutback LR of 12 miles.
philly - hahaha, yep, it was San Marcos, great job getting both the interval and tempo on the same week.
turfy - this entire board can't wait to see how you will do on the nationals +1 to update your sig
Martin - welcome aboard, make yourself comfortable. See if you can *safely* increase your mileage so that you can get an average of 30 miles per week over the next month and on the first weeks before your race, this alone should help you considerably in achieving your objective.
Joe - Get better
Kiwi - great job on the time trial. It's very unlikely that one would break a PR on a time trial, running alone without the competition and the adrenaline from race day. You ran about 20 seconds above your PR, 4 seconds per K, I'm pretty sure you can beat your PR on a flat course without a train stop.
me - To the guys who have DoctorPhobia, please make sure to have at least a blood test every 6 months to check for glycemy, cholesterol, vitamin D, things like that. These exams can literally save your life
Run: It's the chicago Marathon. Brent: I agree with you - let's be honest, none of us are breaking any world records, so some of the point of a race is to find out where my limit is. Every now and then the finish line comes too far past that point :-)Piwi - The time trial on a track just seems like a hard thing to do. I think we would all struggle to hit race speed there.Joe: Stay healthy that is the key.. Looking forward to seeing a big marathon PR from you.Martin: Welcome back, bummer about your race, all you can do is focus on the next one I think. How has your training gone leading up to this?Philly - nice recovery runs there. Enjoy the cutbackHatulz - Ha, I've been to those outlets. I used to travel to Austin for work a few times a year. That's a great city. Also, that's probably good advise re the doctor. It's been a really long time since I've had a physical.
Me - last run today before the race most likely, 6.6 miles at 9:19 pace. That puts me at 11 miles for the week. Flying out tomorrow evening, doing Chicago stuff with the family on Sat and racing on Sunday
Brent - I forgot about you having to coach this week. I'm glad that you are still able to take it easy though. No running with those 6 minute pacers this week for you Jaimegu - Sub 40 is the goal. I have done a couple hard workouts this week. Shifting gears from HM to 10k training has made me realize that I've lost some speed over the summer. I hope to get some speed back in the next 2 weeks. Nice job on the 10k tempo. I don't think that you have anything to really worry about. I do not always nail my tempos or intervals. Don't forget that you taper for races and go into them much more rested than you do for day to day workouts. Rest is a big factor.RAN - Thanks. We are having some great running weather this week here too. I love this time of year. Best of luck this weekend.PK - Enjoy time with the family and some new running scenery! You are sounding like you are ready to endorse Brooks after only a few runs in them :-) Fart, pee, and sheep all in the same sentence! LOL! Hey, a 17:43 solo 5k is outstanding! I've never tried a solo time trial.Joe - Best of luck with the delivery tomorrow! Get some sleep tonight!Turfy - I'm trying to get a feel for running at speed again. Intervals are working for me. That was a fine tempo! 36:53 is superb.Philly - Very fast 4X1600s! Where did that speed come from? Did it cool off down there?Splima - Best of luck. I will be following you on Sunday, as well as 2 other guys I know that are running Chicago. Looks like it will be clear with temps in the 50's all morning! I have not read your interview yet, but I will. Too damn busy here.DJW - I remember when you had the same foot pain and it disappeared. I am glad it's no longer an issue again. I'm sure you smoked your 10k tempo tonight!Martin - We all have bad races. I choked last spring and ran a 1:45 because I was sick and too stubborn not to try. I learned my lesson there. I ran a 1:32 on about 30mpw, so it's possible, but not easy. Good luck.Me - 10 miles today. I woke up at 5:30 and ran an easy 3 miles. At lunch I ran 7 miles. 1 mile w/u, then 7:30, 7:25, 7:08, 7:06, and 6:50, then 1 mile c/d. The whole run felt pretty comfortable. Temp was 78 degrees in full sun.
PRs: 5k - 19:56 (2011), 10k - 40:03 (2012), HM - 1:29:50 (2012)
hatulz - wow, 12 pairs of shoes. Was that because you guys generally have to pay a ton for shoes down there? Yeah the most medical exposure I have is my mandatory annual physical for work. There is blood work done, but mainly to focus on blood lead.
RAN - I could see why 40 straight and flat would be boring. There is one park asphalt trail around here that is similar, but only 15 or so miles long. It literally goes out through corn fields, no shade, turns or even the slightest hills. Needless to say, I don't go there much.
brent - you certainly deserve some junk food. Enjoy it while it lasts. I'm also a consistent eater, with almost the exact same things until dinner time, which can vary, but even that consists of mainly eggs or chicken.
kiwi - solid time trial indeed. I think if you're that close to your PR, even though it was on a track, you can beat it on a flat road race. I've never personally done an all out race effort solo.That sounds rough. Glad you recovered so quick that's a great sign.
joe - that makes sense, I've heard it takes close to 2 weeks for any workout to be beneficial. My last tempo is 10 days from my race, so it may not even benefit me. Hope all goes well with the delivery today, keep us posted.
Martin - keep at it, just slowly increase those easy miles and you'll get there.
turfy - understand on being pressed for time. I think that you could be low 35s for 10k. Days are getting shorter for sure. My runs have been entirely in the dark lately. During the winter months, I can go several weeks without seeing the sun during a run.
philly - nice workout, especially after the 4x1 mile. My 4x1600 hammers me every time, and need 2-3 days of recovery. I do the same as you did during that week too, my tempo is shortened.
spilima - best of luck again. Have you ever been to Shedd Aquarium? I would certainly recommend it, it's a good all day family deal.
bbonnell - nice double. weather has been great here too.
10.5 total miles, with 10k tempo included in 35:57 last night in the dark. I'll gladly take anything under 36. Effort is still pretty high though, true tempo (hour) pace or better.
Turfy - Flying tempo!
Piwi - TT is tough stuff, especially alone. It might be more of a mental workout than VO2 max workout! Considering your current marathon build, lack of taper, and the whole one man TT bit.. I'm confident you'd crush your current 5k PR. Only advice I have for a solo TT is to pick a goal pace and then go for it... treat it like a workout. Today, I have xxx/km for 5k. I find I'm mentally able to force myself to hold a pace if I know what pace I'm supposed to hold. Then, if I'm not dying to hold on and have something left, I start picking up the pace w/1k to go.
Splima - Good luck this weekend! Believe in yourself and your training.
Martin - These things happen! Adding another easy day, bringing your total to 5 days/week sounds like a good idea.
Me - I have been sick the last few days. So, I didn't run. I woke up this morning and decided I was good enough and got out for ~7.5k at 5:00/km. 10C feels soooo nice! Assuming my hammy continues to cooperate, I'm going to see how 1.5hrs feels tomorrow. This will be the first 'long' run since my hammy started protesting. Warsaw has been great! After my run tomorrow morning, I'm off to London for a week. 'Cheers'
PK - I've thought about trying a 5k track time trial at the end of October / early November just as something to put on the schedule. Solid job on yours... just a few seconds off your PR is pretty great. I agree, at the end of the day, it's about enjoying the workouts and races.
Joe Dumas - If this week has taught me anything, it's I like to have something planned more than something up in the air. You'll have to get the info how we can follow you once the race gets closer.
Martin Belgium - You are obviously a very talented runner. That's a pretty heavy negative split. If you are going to try to that, I'd maybe look at a little smaller negative split. If your goal is to run a 1:29, I think that averages out to 21:05 per 5k. I'd maybe try to approach it with something like 21:20, 21:10; 21:05, 21:03, 4:10. Also, a bump in mileage and running more days per week isn't going to do much this time around, but after 2-4 months of a slow build, you'll be in great shape.
spilimia - Excited to hear how your race goes. A friend ran Chicago last year and said it was a fast, interesting course. Best of luck to you!
bbonnell - Our JH/JV is done after this week, for I think for my "workout" next week, I'm going to try to hang with our top group of boys on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Last year, I was able to make it a max of about 7 miles with them...
DJW - After my pizza twice today, I'll go back to eating decent. I'm hoping to maybe try to eliminate a little bit of my Mountain Dew / morning latte habit. It certainly would help me to drop down to about 165-170 (which is probably the "fighting weight" I need to be at to be a little better runner). Amazing tempo!
Daan Runner - Glad to hear your hammy is getting better and enjoy London! My wife are planning on going for our 10 year anniversary (so like April 2016-ish)...
Me - Rocked out a whopping 1 kilometer yesterday marking out an XC workout. Legs are actually feeling really good. At some point over the next 3 days, I'm going to go back to actually doing real runs. Will hope to be somewhat back to normal next week...
Thanks all for the well wishes for health and delivery.
brent - updates will be posted on facebook as I cross the splits: https://www.facebook.com/joe.dumas.39
Not sure if there is another link to follow. Their tracking is cool, my wife will get text messages when I cross 10k, halfway and 20 mile markers too.
Me - Did a 6 mile run at 7:25/mile pace and getting some last second things done before going to hospital tonight. Leaving around 7pm. Excited, anxious and nervous all at once.
Daan - that sucks to be sick during travels, hope it doesn't last long. You're supposed to be enjoying some more suitable weather!
brent - yeah I have a caffeine habbit myself. As I've mentioned before, I have a full 12 cup pot of coffee down by 10 AM every single day, hardly any exceptions. If I miss it for some reason, I feel like pure garbage. If I were to decide to try to kick that some day, it will probably be harder than quitting smoking was. I agree that you're mentally ready to jump back in it already. Nice 1K!
Joe - truly hope all went well. Very exciting time.
Kiwi - very cool to be able to run with two of your boys. 3 weeks out, getting close now. My race is 2 weeks from tomorrow. The way I figure it, if I can manage 5:47-5:49 pace for a 10k tempo at true hour pace, I should be able to manage 5:52 (goal) for 13.1 miles, provided the proper taper, rested legs, decent course and conditions, etc. Maybe I'm way off though, who knows...
Hammered out scheduled rest day yesterday, right on target. After work I did weights, some badly needed yard work (which by the way the leaves are already piling up big time around here), and some errands.
PK - Glad that you are enjoying your time away with your family. Maybe you have rekindled an interest in running in your 16yo, or was 4k enough for him for a while? One of my daughters is very athletic and competitive (even though she has not participated in organized sports yet), once she gets involved in basketball or track, she'll be hard to keep up with. Only 3 weeks! We are all looking forward to your speedy debut!
Brent - I like your new profile pic. After less than a week and you are almost fully recovered, I think that is great. It's awesome that you can maintain pace with kids roughly half your age! The top boys that you coach are probably not working all that hard at a 6:00/mile pace are they?
Daan - Get well! I'm up and down with illnesses all the time. My kids often bring home bugs from school and without exception, I normally get sick also.
DJW - I make a 10 cup pot each morning and it's also gone by about the same time, but then I don't need any the rest of the day. I heard on the radio yesterday about a survey that was done..."would you give up coffee or sex for one year?"...the majority of people chose to not to give up their coffee :-) It's good to hear when you have a rest day. 2 weeks! Let the taper begin!
Me - Nothing exciting here. 7 miles easy yesterday. SRD today. LR of 10-12 miles tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to it. I will finish this week around 45-47 miles, depending upon how I feel on the LR tomorrow.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Ran- congrats on the masters placing and a great comeback to racing.
Bbonnell- I don't think my son is making a running return just yet but he coped with 4k at 5 min/km no worries. Hes very strong now as he does weights and surfs for hours on end.
Re coffee vs sex haha. Coffee is reliable and consistent daily is all im saying !
DJW- With your hectic workload who can blame you for all that coffee. I have about 5 cups a day which is probably too much too. Your pace for the half looks good. I would say go for it.
Finished my week with 64 miles after todays 17 miler on the country roads at my wifes parents place. Took a couple of snaps from my phone so you get the idea. Was pretty much 8.5 miles ascending and 8.5 miles decending as I couldn't find any flat areas.
I now start my 3 week taper.
Quiet on here this weekend...
bbonnell - I think I would choose to keep my coffee too, lol. Hope you had a good long run, solid week regardless.
RAN - nice solid race, congrats on the AG placement. Officially back to the racing scene.
kiwi - breath a sigh of relief, must feel great to have the worst of 18/70 behind you. Enjoy some cutback taper. That looks like a nice quiet surreal place to run.
"Long run" (my long run) of 14 miles at an easy 7:52 yesterday. One more run later today to top 60 miles for the last time in this cycle (and probably until the next HM cycle). Tomorrow starts taper.
Everyone – thanks for your encouraging words
Piwi Kiwi – my weekly tally was in miles; I realize that 25 to 30 miles is not a huge amount of training by any standard. However, it was a pretty big bump compared to what I d done leading to a 1:30 20k, so I felt a sub 1:30 HM was not an unreasonable objective. It could be that I m getting to the point where progress is going to be much harder to achieve than up until now. Which is totally fine.
Spilima – I was reasonably happy with my training, in that I managed to increase my average weekly mileage. That being said, I ve only been running for a year, so going from 0 to 4 or 5 workouts a week is a big adjustment in my daily life. It applies to sometimes being more tired than I would have thought and also just organizing my schedule to include running. As a result, I still struggle with consistency in training, with weeks where I barely broke the 20 mile mark, and a couple where I put in 45 miles.
Brent – I agree about the heavy negative split. What I m trying to do is have an approach which gives me a shot at breaking 1:30 while also allowing me to get a decent result if that turns out to be too hard. The last thing I want is to start too fast and choke. Also, as good as your plan sounds, I d be totally uncapable of executing it, the differences from one segment to another are just too small for this newbie.
Hatulz- thanks. I ended up giving myself an extra rest day for the tough week. I concur with the physicals. I go once a year, but when I'm 35 I'll likely go every 6th months.
Pk- run faster and I guess we'll find out eh? Glad you feel good. That means you def can run a 5K faster. Huge week!
Spilima- I just texted for tracking, hopefully it'll work. you're probably already underway, but good luck!
bb- I always have had some speed, but yes the weather helped. It was only about 84 that day and low humidity. It's back to being 90s and humid, but hopefully that'll break soon. Solid progression run in warm conditions. Good week.
Djw- smoking tempo as usual. I'd gladly take anything under 36 for a 10k as well… haha
Daan- glad you're enjoying the weather, it's still around 32C (90s) here, I'd love those temps. Hope things keep improving for you.
Brent- you seem to be moving along quite well. When I did my first full last year, I hurt my ITB and was out for 7 weeks.
Joe- good luck as well!
Run- great 5 miler. Very solid.
Martin- I understand the big negative split, that will be tough though unless you find yourself in really good shape. But I also agree that your first 5k is at a pace you can hold if you feel you aren't able to do those big negatives.
Me- unscheduled rest day Friday, had to do lots of cleaning around the house for guests coming in Saturday-Monday. Did 12 on the dreadmill yesterday at easy 8:17 pace. Just too gross outside to run at 92 degrees and 75% humidity. Rest day today. Finished the week at only 40.5 miles, but the legs feel recovered from the 16 miler, the tough intervals, and the tempo. So all good.
philly - today it's 93% humidity here hehehe, it's like running inside a pot
Martin - I agree with your conservative plan. I had a similar plan on my HM and I was able to keep at it until around the 14K mark, after that I was unable to speed up, just keep at it. I believe it could work very well for you.
Kiwi - That's a very nice place to run, remember that hills are speed in disguise
Bbonnel - no news is always good news.
RAN - great job on the race. I have a 21K race coming up on November 24th.
me - finished the week at 37.5 miles in 5:22:00, today it was 11 mi with 8@7:15
Thanks all for good luck wishes. Our little runner was 7 pounds, 14 ounces and he is probably going to be tall ... 21 inches long. Actually got some sleep last night and I am going home today to let dog sniff blanket and stuff so you know what that means. Time to leave the dog in the house for say an hour with the baby blanket and clothes to see how he reacts while I leave for ummmm, maybe a run.
Good running everyone!
spilima- CONGRATS! Crushed your goal by almost 6 minutes!
Spilima - great job on the marathon. I watched the live feed on let's run site just in time to catch Kimmeto almost crush the world record.
Joe - Just so I understand, who's going for a run, you or the baby? hehe, just kidding.
Welcome to the little runner, may he live long and bring your family a lot of joy.
Congratulations!!! Welcome to daddyhood! You'll appreciate sleep a lot better now, haha.
PRs 5K 19:34 Mar2012 – 10K 39:20 Aug2012 - HM 1:23:47 Apr2013 - FM 2:58:21 Jun2013
martin - I think you have a good plan, on the conservative side.
philly - yeah I think it's time you found a more suitable running environment, lol. To be that hot and miserable that many months out of the year...
Joe - huge congrats again, glad it went well.
spilima - great job, I look forward to the report.
Finished the week at 61 miles. 2 week taper starts today. Speed work and tempo remain this week, just lower total mileage.
DJW- Excellent 10k tempo and nice 61. I'm looking forward to your race in a couple of weeks. Great running from you as always. Well done.
Joe- Congratulations on the baby. Glad that everything went well.
Hatulz- Nice 11 miler and way to hit 37. That's a good week.
Philly- Way to do some recovery after a difficult week. Only 40 is always a good sign.
PK- Man, that is absolutely gorgeous! You definitely have some interesting terrain to keep your mind busy.
Run- Nice tempo/race. Glad you enjoyed it!
BBonell- Nice running and good 47.
Spilima- Hope you enjoyed the Chicago Marathon. I look forward to reading your race report.
Saturday 16 miles @8:10
Sunday 8 miles @8:00
55 miles. My biggest week ever!
I have a cross country race on Tuesday night which is supposed to be 3-4 miles. This is going to take place at the same location as the National race. I also have Super Dave's Dirty Half Marathon on Sunday. It start's at 4000ft and peaks at 4778ft. My goal is to finish around 1:23 but I really don't know how much the hills will slow me down. It could be a 1:30.
spilima - I wish I would've taken a more even approach to the race like you did. You really seemed to kill those last few miles! In fact, you ran the last 12 k 7 minutes faster than I did. If I would've finished as strong as you did, I would've been right around what my goal going into the race was. Exited to hear a race report. Fun course?
DJW - It's exciting to get to that point where it feels like it's time to "cash in" all that training, isn't it? I thought my one coffee and one Mountain Dew today was a lot of caffeine. You definitely have me beat there! Maybe that's your secret performance enhancing drug?
Angel - Good to see ya around! Sleep... what's that?
Joe Dumas - Congrats! That's super exciting news. Hope the adjustment for you goes well. It's a lot of work, but a ton of fun at the same time.
Hatulz - You're slowly building that mileage up... that's great. Solid week!
Turfy - Sounds like a blast. I'd love to hop into a cross country race sometime. I coach the sport and I'm at an XC meet every single meet, but I've only run a handful of races that would be considered "cross country" races. Good luck in that and your half. Great job with your big week. I'm a true believer that solid, consistent miles are the magic bullet for optimizing your abilities.
Philly - Not all "40" miles are created equal. It might only look like 40 miles, but 40 miles when a majority of them are tough miles is quite a bit of work still... I've got a little residual soreness in my left hammy right now, so I'm not pushing the pace on any of these runs. Hope it goes away by Saturday so it's not something that lingers.
Martin - I am the resident expert on this forum on going out to fast and blowing up. You could go as far as to say I am the Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan of positive splitting. I think if you are approaching it as a race where you will break your PR if everything goes really well, I think it's a well thought out plan.
PK - Those hills and backroads beat the hell out of my treadmill in our utility room! Consider me jealous...
RAN - Good job on the race. There is something kind of freeing about not worrying about time and just going out and running. I'm actually taking that approach to my race this weekend. I'd love to run fast, but I'm just coming off of marathon recovery. I'm just gonna go run 6:40-6:50 the first few miles and see if that's agreeable with my mind/body or not.
Me - Training plan through May is ready. I'm leaning towards running the full marathon in May with a half marathon two weeks out. I'm planning on doing 12 weeks of 50-60 mpw base training right now with 3 weeks of easy (ish) running followed by a build up where I have a tempo for the last 9 weeks. I'm going to try to transition to a morning runner (yikes!) in order to keep up my running while coaching XC and especially basketball.
I've also been doing a little more reading trying to dissect where my marathon went wrong. Hindsight being 20/20, I do think I went out a touch fast but I don't think I went out like 5 minutes to fast or anything. I'm wondering if I was done in by a lack of salt. In most of my training runs, I used "Skratch Labs" drink because I much prefer it to traditional sports drinks. Towards the end, I switched to Powerade since that's what they had at the race. At the marathon, though, I didn't drink a ton of Powerade. I was alternating between water/gel and 1 cup of water and 1 cup of Powerade at aid stations. I was worried about the powerade sitting a bit to heavy in my stomach, so I only took about a half cup each time and a half cup of water. Powerade has about 50% as much salt as my Skratch Labs and if I was only taking half as much, I was probably only getting 25% of the salt I did on most of my long runs (which all went really well). I'm a bigger guy (for a runner) who struggles with heat and am a big sweater, so I think I'm going to experiment with trying some S Caps (salt tablets). I know there are some debates over whether or not salt/electrolyte imbalance causes cramping or if it's something else, but there are a lot of people that swear by them. I can identify two different things that were different about my race (which went so-so) and my long runs (which went great). The different liquid intake is one and running a little faster is another. I'm planning on switching to the Pfitz plan which has you run more long runs with MP segments than I did last time around and I'm going to try to play around with doing the exact same thing in training that I do in the marathons. And I still might go out too fast, bonk or cramp up. But at least I'll know that I'm trying to work on it... Anyone ever tried salt tablets?
It was strange barely running last week, but I started to get back into the swing of things. I actually went 6 Friday, 7 Saturday, and 6 yesterday for a total of 24. Woke up this morning and got in another 6 (and probably will get in 2-3 more at XC meet). I'm hoping to continue recovering this week before my last shot at sub-1:30 for the year on Saturday.

George Lucas and his wife are planning on building a cultural arts museum devoted to his legacy, and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti really, really wanted them to build it in his fair city.

It definitely went extremely well—for people who like hearing snarky jokes about L.A.Read More

I had an amazing wedding and I have the Granite Rose to thank for that. Erin was the coordinator that was assigned to our wedding. She was very helpful throughout the planning process and quickly responded to any questions I had through email or phone conversation. Nancy and Rich were also easily accessible and ready to help. Granite Rose is extremely organized and knowledgeable about the wedding process. My fiance, parents and I met with Erin 5 months prior to our wedding to determine the details and order of events for the night. I felt this meeting helped alleviate a lot of stress and uncertainty. A wedding a Granite Rose is also a great value. If you're reading this you are probably becoming familiar with how expensive weddings can be. We found the Granite Rose to be an exceptional deal. It was also great to have the centerpieces and wedding cake included in their cost. I also loved that Granite Rose provided me with a list of recommended vendors. I found all my vendors on their list and was very happy with everyone. This was one more way they made the planning process easier and less stressful. The day of the wedding everything went smoothly and I was able to relax and enjoy the moment. Everyone raved about the food and how delicious it was. The room looked beautiful and was set up exactly as planned for. I had my ceremony in the Embassy Garden with all the beautiful roses in full bloom. We had a wonderful time throughout the night. The Granite Rose was an exceptional facility with an organized and professional staff that truly know how to host a beautiful wedding. I would strongly recommend Granite Rose to anyone.

I just loved our wedding. They did a fantasic job so easy to work with. All the people were so helpful and friendly. We got so many compliments on the food and the place. Our guests said the food was outstanding and the venue was beautiful. The staff was out of this world. Thanks for the most memorable day of our lives.

The granite rose was amazing. My husband and I were recently married there (1/28/12) and we couldn't have asked for a better vendor. Since the wedding guests have been telling us how amazing the food was. We had the chicken piccata and the prime rib and both were great.
The granite rose only does one wedding a weekend in the winters and their two rooms allowed us to have a very private wedding. We were married in the terrace room and the reception was in the embassy room. It really made the wedding have a nice flow as guests didn't have to drive or leave after the ceremony.
We had a lot of special requests as we made our wedding a snowflake theme and they had a lot of ideas and really let us do whatever we wanted to in terms of decorating the hall.
Overall they were great and if we ever have another function or party we will be looking at the granite rose.

The Granite Rose was spectacular. Let's start with the planning. I worked with Erin mostly & she was really professional and easy to work with. She was timely with all responses and was able to answer my many questions. I had a few special food requests and they worked with me to make sure everything was done the way I (and my husband) wanted. We also had a few "extras" like a Live Event Painter, photo booth, and candy bar and the Granite Rose made sure everything was set up and looked great.
The room looked beautiful! The favors & table arrangements were all set up with care. Everything looked perfect. The vendors included in the Granite Rose package (Jacques pastries & Susanne's florist) were both excellent as well and the cake & center pieces were gorgeous.
The food was delicious! Most weddings I have been to have decent food, but the Granite Rose was far above average. We had the Prime Rib & Haddock Suppreme and both meals were fantastic. The hors'devours were also excellent & plentiful.
The Bridal Party servers were awesome! Whenever I turned around for something they had it ready for me. I didn't worry about anything at all. They even slipped my flats under my table so I could change out of my heels when I was ready.
I got so many compliments on the food, decor, and service so I had to write a review expressing my high recommendation for the Granite Rose. They were the BEST!!!

We were so glad that we chose The Granite Rose for our ceremony and reception. Our summer wedding we amazing in the outdoor gardens, which led to amazing pictures. The reception hall also helped make our special day perfect. The staff at the Granite rose is acceptional...they are there to answer any questions and provide whatever requests that you have. The Granite Rose is also willing to work with whatever budget and still provide exceptional service. I wish we could get married all over again and we would definitely do it at the Granite Rose!!

BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT! I don't even know where to start. We had our wedding here on 3/26/11and it was just perfect. I worked with nacy throughout my wedding planning and Jenna the night of my wedding and they were both wonderful and so very accomidating. All of the staff throughout the night of our event were WONDERFUL as well. Even though it was a little chilly we did a few shots outside and the grounds were perfectly maintained. The bridal wuites are magnificant. Everything from start to finish with The Granite Rose was so easy, they are THE PERFECT VENUE!!

Our Fall Wedding Ceremony and Reception were absolutely beautiful and unforgettable thanks to The Granite Rose! When we found The Granite Rose in search of a venue, we looked no further and we were certain that it would be the perfect venue for our Wedding! All of our expectations were exceeded! The staff was extremely helpful from the very beginning always answering our questions, being very accomodating, and recommending the absolute BEST vendors around!
We had the pleasure of working directly with Rich, Nancy, Jenna and Graham and they were all amazing to work with! The facility and grounds were absolutely gorgeous and our professional photos are stunning! Our guests were extremely satisfied with every aspect of the wedding and the food was delicious! We cannot possibly say enough great things about The Granite Rose! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a venue for their wedding!

Granite Rose was amazing!!!! Food was incredible. Service was top of the line. The wait-staff was awesome, they were there when you needed them but not intrusive of the event. All of my guests commented on how beautiful the Terrace Garden and Terrace Room was. Jenna, my coordinator, was there for from beginning to end to answer all of my questions, needs, and guided me all of the way.
I would recommend them to everyone!!!!!!
To the staff at The Granite Rose; Thanks for an incredible day!!!!

Jenna was awesome!! She made sure that everything was to my liking. The waitress we had, Nicole, was awesome. That girl was very quick on her feet & always knew what we wanted even before we had to ask!! The garden was beautiful. We were allowed to take pictures in the other garden since there was no other wedding going on. We drive by this place every weekend & I was very determined to have my wedding here, I am very glad that we did not look @ other places first!!!! The food was a little costly but then again we did move alot of the menu around & they were very willing & flexibly in changing the menu, but the food was well worth the cost. I am not a meat eating person & the prime rib was to die for!!!!

I gave up on movies about Hobbits being any good a long time ago. To me, Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy from the last decade was ridiculous, overrated, and ridiculously overrated.

Croatian Hotshot Andrej Kramaric Admits Milan Desire
AC Milan and Inter Milan will reportedly make a move for HNK Rijeka striker Andrej Kramaric, who admitted that he would like to play for either of the Milan giants in the near future. The 23-year-old has been linked with a switch to Serie A in the coming months according to Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport as his current deal is due to expire at the end of the season. The Croatian forward has appreciated the prospect of playing at San Siro in a recent interview with MilanNews.it. "As football is my life, it would be great one day to play with one of the two Milanese clubs," Kramaric told. "It would be great to follow my compatriots' footsteps – people like Zvonimir Boban, Alen Boksic, Robert Jarni and Milan Rapaic have all left their mark in Italy. And also Mateo Kovacic is doing very well at Inter." "Pippo Inzaghi has been a great player and not many had the same instinct […] Read more »

Filippo Inzaghi: Fernando Torres Will Eventually Come Good For AC Milan
Sampdoria host AC Milan in a battle for European places at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Saturday night. After a positive start to the season, the Rossoneri have stalled in recent games and were comfortably beaten 2-0 at home by Palermo in the last round of fixtures. Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi insists that his side needs time to get things right and calls for supporters to be patient. "It takes patience," Inzaghi told reporters ahead of his side's visit to Sampdoria."It would be nice if we could be perfect right now, but I'm not worrying. Against Palermo we never lacked in desire." "There are little things we need to improve.There's been a great reaction, and we'll use that, starting tomorrow. Tomorrow you'll see a return to the Milan that we saw only a short time ago." "At the end of December we'll look at the table and take stock of the situation. Every possibility is still there for us.The team […] Read more »
Juventus and AC Milan Looking At Defensive Recruitments – Report
Juventus and AC Milan are looking to strengthen their respective defensive departments in the January transfer window and are tracking a number of options. Massimiliano Allegri has to deal with a lot of injuries in his squad and it is the defense which is mostly worrying him. Andrea Barzagli has not featured this season after his toe surgery and is not expected to make a comeback before the New Year. Martin Caceres suffered a thigh injury against Roma in the league game back in October and is likely to return after the international break. Angelo Ogbonna deputized admirably in an un-fancied right side of a back three but he also picked up an injury against Empoli last Saturday. Allegri was reportedly thinking before the start of the season to use Luca Marrone in defence but unfortunately he has not recovered from incessant muscle injuries. With the Bianconeri one injury or suspension away from a crisis, Juventus are actively looking for […] Read more »

Yes, those efforts are being worked on :-)
I edited the thread to ommit because I didn't think that it was relevent here, but these flyers will be hand distributed to about 30-40 people at tonights meeting. Christian Coalition, Campaign for Liberty, will be among those in attendance. They will likewise spread this, as well as post on their respective meetups/facebooks.
I am also working on new comparison sheets, but having great difficulty in finding jeb bush's record as governor. Other governors and senators records are available, but for some reason I can not find jeb's. I may be wrong, but I think that the establishment will be propping him, thus the lack of info.
