Getting my run on
Sorry I missed day 1 but I'm getting my workout in right now at South. Boy I'm slow. The holidays killed me. How was everyone else's 1st day?

We're Getting Warmed Up!
Actually some of us are on the couch thinking about running next March... Running the inaugural PHILLY LOVE RUN March 30th 2014. Can we train w/o coach Joe Wiggy? We are older, packing a few extra pounds and feeling more tired than a few years ago... I won't even mention the aches and pains that came with turning 40! Will we find the time to fit in those long runs? Will we take the leap and run even farther than the 10 miles down Broad Street?

Broad Street 2010
Registraion for the 2010 Broad Street Run opens in February! If you haven't already, it's time to strat training! Joe's training schedule from last year can still be accessed by looking a past posts.
I found out this morining that I am already out of shape and need to start preparing now..... So I was convinced to run the Philly half marathon in November. It was a little cold at the start, but it was a really good day for running. I finished in just under 2 hours, about 9 minute miles, which I was happy about. Then we hit the holiday desserts! I got up this morning to do an easy 3 mile run before work and wsa afraid I wasn't going to make it!
I really want to increase my speed for this years run. I found it difficult to follow Joe's speed workouts last year more for a measured place to do them. My plan, therefore, is to do 3 mile runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings with a long run on Saturday morning. This will go until March (or whenever basketball is done in South). Then I'll follow Joe's speed workouts through April.
Hope you all plan to come out and run with me again this year!

Velocity 5K
Anybody doing Velocity's 5K this weekend?
I registered along with my brother and a friend. I thought this might be a good race to run because it's local, the course is flat, and being the first year I'm guessing the field will be small. Looking at satellite images on Google Maps I can't see where we're going to run, but part of the course is on the old run way so that should be fun.
To make things more interesting I feel I've slowed down after Broad Street. Has anybody else felt this? Before Broad Street I was running about 8:45 pace. The last two long runs I did were more like 9:30 pace. Short runs are about 3 miles at about 8:00 pace, but I have to push to finish and I think I get just a second slower each time I run. Then to cap it all off some marathon housework preparing for the baby has left me so exhausted I haven't run in a week and probably won't until the 5K on Saturday.
Saturday should be quite interesting, but a lot of fun too. Hope to see you there!

Philadelphia Half Marathon
Ok, ok, ok, I've given into the pressure (not that there really was any) and decided to do the Philadelphia Half Marathon in November. That gives me about 6 months to prepare for an extra 3.1 miles beyond Broad Street. My training plan is to continue 8 to 10 mile runs on Saturday mornings and hopefully get a 3 to 4 mile run in during the week. I'm not planning speed work outs right now becuase I'm just looking to finish and, judging from my Broad Street trainging I won't get them in with the new baby. Any comments?
I tried the Philadelphia Distance Run once, also 13.1 miles, and that extra 3 miles killed me. Then again I trained less form that than I did Broad Street that year. I'm hoping this will be a better experience despite the colder weather because of the training I plan to do and I like this race course more. This course makes a larger loop around the city and has several identifiable landmarks along the way such as Columbus Boulevard, South Street, PENN, Memorial Hall, the Zoo, and MLK drive.
Bruce always asked me about PDR, but I think he'll accept the half marathon as an alternative. Anyone else up for the challenge?
