    This.

    I do large races (rock n roll, thousands of runners and huge spectators) and they allow vests.

    *kitten* I did Pat's run the weekend after Boston and they almost didn't allow vests but decided to say no backpacks on spectators. There was a ton of police and county officers and k9 present for it. It was surreal.

    It's a cop out to cite "safety concerns" and we all go along with it but a vest is really no different from a fanny or waist pack.

    For anyone that may not know Pat's run is for Pat Tilman and a HUGE deal in Phoenix. Pat Tilman was an ASU football player who then played for the Cardinals and voluntarily joined the military after 9/11. He was eventually shot and killled by friendly fire. So the race is done as close to 4/20 ( he was #42) as possible which landed the Saturday after the Boston bombings that year.

    Honestly it was difficult to even go that year. I dedicated my run/bib to Boston that year and had tears ending at the 42 yard line of sundevil stadium. It's a race that brings out everyone.

    Thank you for asking. It feels a little better this morning. Was really odd. Wish I knew what I did so I could not do it again. :) Might try to run this afternoon pending how close the temps get to THREE DIGITS again. Grr.

    The nice thing about a short run is that I can get out early and get it done before I even wake up the kids :) I ran 4.2k at around half-marathon pace, and that will probably be it for the month, as I feel like I should give myself a couple rest days before the half marathon on Saturday. I don't plan to run it hard - just to have fun and do my best for where I'm at on that day.

    That is the best attitude for every race. :)

    4.5km is yesterday, wasn't really feeling it. Rest day today and maybe tomorrow, I've just been feeling beat. Of course this is the most I've run I months so that could be why.
    MTD 57.9km/40km

    tempo run this am. I was suppose to do a speed workout but I postponed that until tomorrow. Almost had a rest day but I forced myself out of bed and managed to get in 6. Should have just gone easy but I pushed it a little.

    I haven't run since Saturday. Aside from recovery/injury, I can't tell you the last time I went three days in a row without running, just because of life happening. It feels good. And it doesn't feel good. I was hoping to get in a trail run today, but the weather forecast is for severe thunderstorms, so I am not sure how that is going to pan out. One way or another, some running will be happening this evening.

    1 time. I'm not trying to minimize the severity, but this isn't exactly a pattern of technique.

    For the same reason we all take off our shoes before anyone is allowed on an airplane.

    I do not take off my shoes and I bypass most of the security line due to my "Global Entry Card"

    If you fly more than 0 times a year, it is so worth it.

    Last two times I flew it was 15 minutes from entering the airport to the gate. It is a major time/headache saver.
