However, with tomorrow's blog post, you'll see I'm up to my ears now in shoes. Actually though, I'd still go if you wanna, I want to get some racing shoes now. Aw, that would have been a great plan!

There's one in Marlton, NJ - I'd call first and check before making the trip. I'll come with if you decide to go there, Singapore Noodles at Joe's Peking Duck House a few doors down - YUM!

I mean, one of the best things about being a Masters runner is the pleasure of beating out young whippersnappers and here you are getting to do it within your own bloodline. C'mon Tobey, make us mature folks proud and kick his ass!! (lovingly of course, not too much bloodshed...but a little's ok) Lol, I LOVE it!!

Yesterday when I told him I switched to the half he said, rather dejectedly, "you beat my time didn't you"? Hah, I said, no, but you are in my crosshairs. He is 30 now with 3 little ones and no time to retaliate in the near future. I have 2 more chances this spring. I have no doubt he could train for 6 mos. and smoke me, (he ran 4:52 miles in HS), but by the time he gets around to it, he will be much older. Flo,

What wonderful peace of mind you must have had going into the Half, knowing you were in shape for a Full. I hope it wasn't anything bad that made you switch, though. And you didn't steal blog time, this is good stuff for anyone who reads it. Now get back to work and beat that kid of yours!! :D <strong>Matt</strong>, hah! OK, I'm in as planned. I first wrote that it's killing my long run, too, but I think I can still do it later that day so I edited that bit out. I so wish I was super-fast like you so afterwards I could take you on a long run through the Wissahickon trail/Forbidden Drive that I always talk about. Alas, all I can do with a speedmeister such as yourself is point you to it! Congrats again on the AG award and #9 O.A. for yesterday's 10-miler. I'm so impressed! Tobey, that’s fantastic!

I then decided to run a full in October. Again I trained, but only as much as my schedule would allow. For this HM I trained as though I were running a full, as a matter of fact, I only changed to the half right before the race. I guess you could say I fooled myself into believing I needed to run 26 miles, then I let myself off the hook. Looking at moderately hard training plans for a half, my full training was about the same level. Now I have 5 weeks to take off 2 more minutes to beat my son's time, (he was 20 when he set the house record). After that I think I am going to concentrate on speed and form for a few months so I can be as fast as you. Sorry to steal your blog time, but you did ask ;) Tobey Flo,
