    Good Morning, I am coming off a defunct BSR race and trying to get my mojo back. Looking for a running partner to keep me on track, I am in philly EOL section. My pace is 15:45.

    @ereck44 - Sorry about your coworker and new boss. Sounds quite stressful.
    @midwesterner85 - congrats on the 1st in AG!I'm sure you were disappointed when you realized what had happened on the distance.
    @skippygirlsmom - I wouldn't be able to run without food for that long!

    Programming competition is this morning. Woke up early for CA time but not early enough to run prior to meeting students. So going to drop them off and come back to hotel and set off for run. I've mapped out a route from hotel to Stanford and around campus. Need to scour the route for potential bathroom stops!

    Way to go @carolineb81 on signing up for your first full marathon!!

    @MNLittleFinn - I always heard that you're not a real runner until you full on crap your shorts. :lol: I guess I'm still working on that. Came close a couple times, and have even had to dart off into the woods once. Maybe that should count.

    Today was bright, clear blue skies and 49 degrees! Beautiful morning for a run!

    I was a little stiff at first from yesterday's long run but loosened up during the second mile. It was a good run and my pace was up with the cooler morning.

    After my run and after my recovery drink my right quad was complaining a little. I never felt it before that. Guess I better keep an eye on that.

    5/2 - 4 miles
    5/3 - 8 miles
    5/4 - 4 miles
    5/5 - rest

    5/8 - 6 miles
    5/9 - 4 miles
    5/10 - 6 miles
    5/11 - rest
    5/12 - more rest

    I never logged my run from yesterday morning. It was warm and my glutes were a bit sore. I got the 14 miles in that I planned but it was not easy and I had to slow way down.
