  1. I'm ready to run rogue! That's going to be a lot of fun. I think this will be the beginning of something great. Maybe a Run Rogue Race series!?

  2. Guys, congratulations on your runs this morning! Keith, that was a sweet PR! You ran 11 minutes and 48 seconds faster than you ran the New Orleans 1/2 last February. It looks like all of your hard work has definitely paid off. I can't wait to see your marathon time!

  3. Nice run tonight everybody. That was a tough track workout! Peter, I liked doing the 200's. Next time we'll have to try the 16 x 200m before the 2 x 2000m! :-)

  4. Thanks Holly. It was a great day to race and I had a blast. I was able to run sub 60 for the 10 mile for the first time and because there were three of us so close together during the last 5k I was able to keep the pace in the 5:50s/mile range.
    Also met a lot of good people at the race and will hopefully be able to get some of them to come out and run with us at some point.
    I have to give Peter a lot of credit as well. Our runs over the winter and during the tough parts of the summer have really helped. We tend to talk during the runs and sort of plan how we're going to achieve our short and long term running goals. So far we've been getting closer to reaching them.
    Oh yeah, ran 5 miles at the spooky Chantilly track on my own then did another 4 at the gym. Going for 70+ miles this week.

  6. Adam,

    I think you and I are about one week off. I'm going to try for 20 to 22 early Sunday and shorten it the next weekend. I'm going to try to upgrade (or downgrade) from the 1/2 to the full in Savannah when I get to the packet pickup.
    Maybe we can head out for a good recovery run in late November/early December. Are you planning on running a spring marathon?

  7. Sean and I will be doing an easy 5 to 6 at Centreville track at 8:15 tonight. Then I will head to Lifetime to do another 5 or 6 on the dreadmill. Come out and join the fun. Sorry about the late notice.
