@MobyCarp So a person could buy their way into Boston? That doesn't seem fair.

I'm thinking about saving up to go skiing/snowboarding. But that'll pass when the Olympics are over. I still have Big Sur half on my buck list. I gotta get better at walking first though

There are around 6000 slots reserved for charity runners. They need to be involved with one of the sponsoring charities, and I think they need to raise a minimum of $5000. So yes, if you have that kind of money to throw around on top of the entry fee and the hotel (not an issue for locals, I suppose), you could buy your way into Boston. But I think the vast majority of the charity runners really do the hard work of doing fund raising for a cause they believe in. In my case, raising $5K for charity would be harder than just running a BQ marathon to get in.

^^^^ this. Most big races reserve charity places, and they have pretty big targets to hit for those going in with one.

Not for me... I think it would be much easier to raise $5K than to run a BQ race in 3:02 or faster (technically 3:05, but we know they cut a few min. off when it comes down to sending out invites). I'm not saying either is actually easy, but by comparison it is actually possible to raise $5K and I don't think it is possible for me to run a marathon in that time.

I think both would be hard for me. I'll be lucky if I can finish a marathon in under 5 hours. I tried to raise money once for celiac disease in conjunction to a race I was doimg amd got one donation of $50 haha

I agree both would be hard, but one of them is impossible while the other is just very difficult.

I recently did a Polar Plunge and got $75 in donations... $50 of it was from me.

I took Tuesday as a rest day...ankle was feeling a little stiff, which I assume is down to ramping up the mileage pretty quickly. It feels fine now, and so I have time for one more run tomorrow morning before I'm on-call at work for the week (translation: I can't just get up and go running). That means I get a forced week of rest (which should be a good thing), and if I can do at least 10 miles tomorrow, then I'll have reached my goal for the month. That will mean that any mileage that I do after the 22nd, when I'm no longer the primary on-call guy, will be bonus mileage.

Today's run was rather pleasant...45F in February? I'll take that.

01 - 11.49
02 - 16.21
05 - 15.79
06 - 13.76
07 - 14.58
08 - 9.82
09 - 20.07
12 - 15.54
14 - 13.73

Had a great run last night with my local running store and we had mini cupcakes and wine afterwards for Valentine's Day. It was pretty icy though so the last half mile was more of a shuffle while trying not fall.
I signed up for my first trail race and I'm excited. My husband agreed to run it too so that's even better.

So ummm... those of you up running the miles, distances, elevations, and like that I do... do you see a normal doctor if you get injured, or do you find a sports doctor of some kind? If you see a special sports doc, how do you find one? I am in a big city so should be able to find one, I would think.

Not planning to see one soon, but considering the possibility of it. Probably put it off till after Glacier though

@PastorVincent I just went to my regular doctor to get my shin seen to. It's not really recommended to put off seeing a doctor though...some things can end up getting much worse, which can mean greater recovery times being needed.

Oh, I will. I was mostly joking around about that... just not sure it has risen to the doctor level yet. When you have as many medical issues as I do, you can not go to the doctor every time something changes. It's just not physically possible to go that often.

It definitely warmed up. 84°f and pretty windy made for some tough intervals. I need to figure out how to set up and use the interval function on my Garmin Fr35. Maybe I will get to that befire my next interval run.

I used to see a sports ortho that I really like a lot and he would send me to PT or to a Chiro.. I have since found a Sport Chiro through a runner friend, who fixed a lot of my issues with orthotics. Neither is really covered by my insurance any more but I get better results with the sports Chiro.

Sigh, school shooting again at a high school. It's several hours from the HS where I teach, but we are all just sick about it. We have a code red scheduled for this morning - which was set since the beginning of the year - so we are all supposed to warn the kids first "it is just a drill" so no one panics.

I'm really addicted to my lifting program. It's definitely impacting my running miles, but it's probably good to mix things up. I am doing a 12 week program... from Women's Health.

2/1 - Strength Training - S3-A
2/2 - Rest
2/3 - Rest
2/4 - Daytona Beach HM 13.1
2/5 - strength training S3-A (repeating it)
2/6 - strength training S3-B + 2.89 miles treadmill
2/7 - 4 miles + Strength training S3-C (arms)
2/8 - 3.5 miles
2/9 - Strength training S3-D Glutes
2/10 - 44 miles cycling
2/11 - 51 brutal miles cycling
2/12 - strength training S4-A
2/13 - 5 miles! Intervals + Strength training S4-B
2/14 - Strength training S4-C
2/15 - 4.5 Miles Intervals + tbd

This was so heartbreaking and upsetting and I'm not even in a school setting or have children. Hope all goes well with your drill this morning.

My new baby (Garmin Vivoactive 3) is out for delivery! I'm at work! Fortunately, I work 1.8 miles from my house, lol. So, if it's been delivered before lunchtime I am most definitely swinging my lunch run by my house to pick it up.
