Glad you got in early! Makes me think that ‘tough’ BQs should be used rather than having X-thousand charity runners.

No barns down here. It’d be “the hay is in the shed”, or “the hay is in the round bale”.

It reminds me of my last hard workout in 2006. 2 miles easy, 6 miles MP, 1 mile Tempo, 6 miles MP, 2 miles easy. Everything was going as planned. Until at 4 of the second MP my groin went. Ouch! Panic! Don’t run! So I missed some days, it healed, and I was probably better for it.

That’s what “hay in the barn” means. You’ve done the work (or will have shortly) and missing time won’t make a difference.

Oh, remember, NY closes on March 5.

Yup. Hay in the barn. No injuries. Looking good. You’re gonna kill it, Flo.

It’s a shame about Boston, and all the runners who got shut out.

So crazy about Boston. I think it’s time for them to make the qualifying times a little tougher.

The extra rest was probably the best thing you could have done. Hope that you’re feeling better by next Sunday!

I have several friends who are running CIM and they were wanting to run Boston, guess it will have to wait till 2011. Sorry hear about the weather being bad, we had it pretty rough last Tuesday.
