Felt good about my TM workout- 2-mile progressive warm-up and then held a 6:27 pace for 8 miles without any breaks.

Nice run! Tired of the TM yet? Ha

Dang, I was just feeling good about my run and then I saw this. Very nice, especially on the 'mill.

Oh, so tired of the 'mill, yet grateful to have some kind of outlet. To me, it's far from an equivalent run outdoors, yet I'll still take it. Thanks guys for weighing in, your comments help keep me encouraged during this long stretch of winter. Are either of you running Boston this year?

Didn't qualify soon enough. The plan was to qualify in Hartford. After that debacle I got the offensive rebound and laid it back in at Richmond, but I didn't beat the buzzer. Planning to run in 2012, unless they keep dropping the qualifying time.

I remembered that you qualified- bummer on the timing. Do new rules come into effect for '12 or '13? I sure hope you can get in next year- it's quite the experience!
