I find the 800's do wear me out. What am I saying, it's all very tiresome.<BR/><BR/>I hope you have fun camping. Keep up the great training.Legs and Wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109916595853258092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-1147739907475320702006-05-15T17:38:00.000-07:002006-05-15T17:38:00.000-07:00I love the Lasagna Loop!!!

I posted a whole rant of them once.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, speedwork is the best way to drop your marathon time, so those workouts are still very valuable, whether they are 800s or mile intervals.Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588564145315857856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-1147712490190785362006-05-15T10:01:00.000-07:002006-05-15T10:01:00.000-07:00I don't comment on your blog too often, but have a...I don't comment on your blog too often, but have a few points to clarify this morning.<BR/><BR/>First, you made me look really bad. If there were only 5500 people doing the Revlon Run/Walk for Women, I would hopefully finish in less than half that time!In reality, there were 55,000 people out there, which explains the bottleneck out of the start and into the tunnel at the end. Please remember to count your zero's next time!! :)<BR/><BR/>Secondly, you are right, you only ate a few...dozen of those TJ's cookies. But you can afford to!<BR/><BR/>Finally, Mother's Day was wonderful!!! I love that you did all the shopping, cleaning and prep work and that my mom and I were able to relax and enjoy the day. And the Honey Moon Vigonier (another shout out to TJ's~wine department this time!)was a great added touch!! <BR/><BR/>Today needs to be a holiday, I'm too tired to work!!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>MeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-1147703921260824802006-05-15T07:38:00.000-07:002006-05-15T07:38:00.000-07:00Yassos are a great workout.

I've done the Yassos, just not a predictor because I never got up to the right amount.<BR/><BR/>cookies disappear... conspiracy I tell you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622921805056352269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-1147663582560711102006-05-14T20:26:00.000-07:002006-05-14T20:26:00.000-07:00Darrell- glad to hear the running is going well. ...Darrell- glad to hear the running is going well. I totally agree with you- I would rather do a long run anyday then hit the track.<BR/>And thanks for the "warning" on the TJ's cookies...I'll make sure they don't end up in my cart. <BR/>*yeah right*Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074871956216549830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-1147650461855470102006-05-14T16:47:00.000-07:002006-05-14T16:47:00.000-07:00Man, Darrell, I'd kill to run a marathon with a 3:...Man, Darrell, I'd kill to run a marathon with a 3: in it. Let's hope Yasso's right on those splits. Sounds like your training is working out nicely. As is your weekly schedule. I noticed a lot of LA marathoners using Long Beach's half as a tune-up run. They do seem nicely timed.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-1147647775312425702006-05-14T16:02:00.000-07:002006-05-14T16:02:00.000-07:00darrell, it sounds like you had an amazing week on...darrell, it sounds like you had an amazing week on and off the roads. i am so glad to hear that. your times are so solid, i cannot wait to see how you do in your next marathon. that lasagna loop is just the kind of run that would get me back on the roads :)<BR/><BR/>we are going to have to catch up in person soon. when you are ready to run hawaii, then i am there with you. i have a buddy who crews it every year. i am hoping to put that state on my list in the next year or two and might make it a regular one. heck, if i am going to run a road marathon, then why not in hawaii :)<BR/><BR/>here's to hoping you have another excellent week on and off the roads! hehehe, and to finding those missing treats from trader joe's :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-1147644772191470452006-05-14T15:12:00.000-07:002006-05-14T15:12:00.000-07:00sounds like a great weekend!TJs always has the BES...sounds like a great weekend!<BR/><BR/>TJs always has the BEST. we live within walking distance. always end up buying the cheapest best food.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
