wrm2105 good luck on your marathon. Which one is it? I just did the Big Sur marathon and it's a very beautiful one.

Good to be back :) 19 miles for last week

I imagined that planning was important, but I didn't realize how crucial it was until reading your report.  

Thanks wrm2105. It does depend also of the runner too. Some are strong runners so they just go and do their thing. For slow folks, like me, I better make sure that I'm on target with my progress and time so I won't miss the cut-off times. For me it's for the peace of mind, you know.

Haven't ran since then; almost 2 weeks. Tonight's the night. Gotta get my lazy butt off the couch LOL.

ultrarunner, I...I...just don't know what to say.  I always thought that during the heavy long distance races you actually had an obligatory sleep period.  

skinny_kitty, thanks for writing. I believe that some runners actually do take naps during this kind of events. I myself never do because I'm just a slow back-packer and I'm affraid that I'll sleep too long and missing any cut-off times . However, once the event is over then I can sleep .

Hi all! 100 miles for me this week.

ultrarunner2: How is your recovery from the LA Marathon going, and how do you plan to transition to your next race?

Hey!

Thanks for asking. No recovery for me. I ran it so slow that I never got any pain or issues whatsoever. In fact, a week later I ran the Way Too Cool 50K very slow again so no pain on that one either.

I run slow because next weekend I have a 100 mile race coming up. After that one you can ask how my recovery is coming along. I might be in too much pain to reply LOL

Thanks for all the welcomes! I've chosen ultrarunner2 as my username because I just love to do races over 26 miles.

Unfortunately, I work 12 hours a day so my training runs durning the week aren't as great as they should be; however, on the weekends I usually go longer. Because of that I just going to submit my milages on a weekly basis.

It's awesome being with this group.

If I join this club should I submit my running hours since August 1, 2007, 12:00 midnight? Or simply starting from the moment I join?

I apologize if this already has been asked...

I'm not a teen anymore by any means (I'm 36) but I started running in April 05 after being inactive whatsoever for 20+ years. I instantly fell in love with outdoor running and within 1.5 months ran my first half-marathon and about 2 months later my first marathon.

Since then I've ran 14 marathons, seven 31 miles, two 50 mile, two 62 miles, and one 100 mile race (see here). I'm very slow too. My marathon PR is 4:22. My favorite runs are 100 milers.

Keep on running freywey. It's an awesome way to keep in shape and make great friends along the way.
