Kelley -

First - you're so inspiring. I do races myself, but I'm mostly a fast walker

(7:10 marathon last year). I'm training to pick up the pace, but it's hard.

I'm also planning to go to Virginia Beach in September with a couple of

friends with whom I did the marathon. Maybe I'll see you there, among the

15,999 others! :-)

Thanks for the compliment. We'll have to create some kind of recognizable

sign to be able to see each other at the race. The RNR is the one I am running

with Team In Training and I know that have us set up for a victory party

afterwards so that might be easy to find.

I am giving serious thought to running the Disney Marathon (Orlando) in

January. Ever done that one?

Now, to answer your question about pace. I use Athletix on my Palm, and

using that I got the same pace as you on the 3m at 33:03, but got 10:31 for

the 3m @ 31:39 and 10:44 for the 6m run. Hmmm, sounds a bit odd to be off on

some but not others. I've never tried to double-check the software.

OT ~ Kelley's Training Log ~ 5/3-5/9

Monday - Treadmill Run: 5m @ 57:43 - 11:48 pace (This was my first 5m run

so

I had to psyche myself up and doing it on the treadmill is always harder for

me so I depend on my Walkman to keep me entertained....but it just flat out

stopped playing after a half a mile so this was a special challenge)

Tuesday - Inactive Rest Day: Work, work, work...missed workout

Wednesday - Inactive Rest Day: Repeat of Tuesday

Thursday - Treadmill Run: 3m @ 33:03 - 11:01 pace (Enjoyed this run more

Your pace is actually faster! You ran for 3865 seconds which is

644.16 seconds per mile and 10.74 minutes or 10 minutes and 44

seconds. Make it easier on yourself and use this calculator

Kelley -

I did the Kona (Hawaii) marathon for Train to End Stroke. Awesome program,

but the fundraising!! They also do Disney (and the San Diego and Phoenix RNR

marathons). Disney sounds like fun, but I'm an accountant, and planning for

time off at that time of year isn't a very sensible idea. But I know a

couple of people who've done it and loved it - and of course the medal is

fun! My dental hygienist (sp?) did the marathon with the Stroke group and

now wants to do the half so she'll have both and Mickey.
