I guess I forget to update my log when it's all on a treadmill, because really, there's nothing that exciting about it. I will say that over the last week I've run three times on the ol' 'mill, and I'm ready for the snow to disappear so I can get back outside. Doesn't like that's going to happen anytime soon, though, as more snow is supposed to be on the way Monday.
It's been all BSG all the time as I distract myself on the spinning belt. On Tuesday I ran 6 miles in place and drew closer to the Season 2 finale. On Thursday I gave blood in the morning at work and then ran 5 miles after work. Today was a 10-miler, and now there's only two episodes to go in the second season. If this keeps up I'll have the whole series completed again in a month.
The Wife picked up a Jeff Galloway book for me a the library about qualifying for the Boston Marathon. I think this might be one I need to buy. I skimmed through it at lunch after my run and it has some good stuff in it. Tangentially, the book listed a web site, marathonguide.com, where I discovered a cool feature. You can put in your name on the front page, choose a year from the dropdown, and it will show you all the races you ran that year. Come to find out I'm the fastest marathoner in the world the past two years - with my name. I found four other people with my name, and I win. I called the virtual running partner, and he had a doppleganger - at least name-wise - in Great Britain, and my buddy smoked the Brit. Kind of fun, and the website also has a feature that shows your finish time adjusted for age. My best time would be 3:40 if I was 30 years old, which I figured is the baseline for the adjustment. Fun, but past performance and age adjustment are not accurate predictions of future performance.
