Welcome to the new look of GIM.  I was bored of the old design and figured a nicer, larger blog was in order.  I’ve finally got it set up for nested replies so I don’t have to make one big ole reply to you guys and bold your names, now I (or anyone) can reply to individual posts.

And, because I’ve gone plug-in crazy (WordPress really does rock with all the things you can do with it), I’ve added a checkbox below the comment box so if anyone replies to your comment, you can choose to get an email alerting you to that.  Works really nicely.  If anyone reading here has a WordPress blog and you see something you’d like on yours, just ask me and I’ll tell you what plug-in I use to achieve it.

Now, on to running… Been a nice week on that score.  On Thursday, one mile into my run, I found a crisp $20 bill on the ground.  Felt like I was stealing by taking it but it was me or the next guy, so ME!  :-)  The run itself was pretty good, 3mi tempo (they won’t be as short from here on in) inside a 13 miler, the HR was lower than the previous times so that’s a beautiful thing.

Today I had 9 w/7MP and was fully expecting to be slower than the standard 7:30s I’d consistently done for Philly.  I already have the green light to go slower since breaking 3:20 will take 7:37s, but I was feeling really good, the weather was 42 so all I had on was my UA mock, tights, headband and light gloves.  Something about that outfit makes me feel speedy and sexy (maybe because it’s just one fitted layer between me and winter) so when all was said and done, I averaged 7:29s for the MP miles, 7:43 avg for the total run.

And now for the survey.  I was wondering what level you consider yourself at as a runner and if you’re a forum reader.  So if you wouldn’t mind filling it out, I’d be majorly grateful.  Also, please feel free to expand on it in the comments, too. I’d be interested in what type of info in general you guys seek out (i.e. running magazines (online or paper), books, blogs galore or if you like to just…run!)
