Training Log Archive: TimGood

DCRRC-SLR 7:10am. IwoJima , Cand O canal to mile 10 and back. Time does not include three 5 minute bathroom breaks. I think this may be my longest training run ever.
Not looking good for the Marine Marathon in less than 2 months. While only a training run; I was still a lot slower on the 2nd half than I wanted. Especially when I see that Pat Zerfas is doing 18+ miles at 8 minute pace.

QOC. Bike-O in Columbia MD. 3pm. Drank, ate, showered, changed, drank, packed dance clothes and bike then went to running store to get a free packet of Ultima (drink at Marine Marathon) and a new pair of running shoes. Then on to the bike-O. Got there late because shoe shopping had taken longer than expected. Only time to do the short course listed as 8 miles. My map has no scale so actual distance is unknown. Mostly rode at a relaxed pace. Great to be on the bike again, think I last rode last summer. I cannot ride and read the map at the same time so spent a lot of time stopping to check the map and made some errors when I did not stop to check. Course mostly on narrow ashpalt bike trails with lots of intersections. Think I might have done better on the long course which had more road options.

8-10:30pm. At Do-Pas-O in Lancaster with Iolanthe.

1030pm. Lee-Graham-50 route.

At B and B. 7:30-9:30pm.
Had planned to run later but it got late and I needed some sleep.

Beginner dance at Lincolnia. 7:30-9:30pm.

11pm. Lee Graham 50 route..

Not back from RIchmond until after 2am. Slept in all morning and was lazy all day.

Single Square Dancers of America Convention. Richmond VA. Convention started thurs but I only came for the last day. Dancing 12:30-4, 7:30-12. About 4 1/2 hours total on the dance floor. Plus with some hot hash, take no prisoners. Also an hour of intro to rounds. Achilles and shins hurting by the end. I think the rubber dance floor was giving me some problems.
