So,Karneval worked me over in a major way. I'll post a pic or two when my laptop is back from the shop (part of the reason I've been gone...again), but trust me- one million drunken germans plus one drunken deetschei is not conducive to good running...having said that,I somehow managed a personal best 5K during the insanity. I hardly remember running it ;)
This last week was the end of my second 4 week cycle with the Nike + goal generator/ass kicking machine. After a mad dash at the end to compensate for the fact that I spent most of the past week dressed as an inebriated pope, I can proudly say I acheived two of the three goals: I both ran 65 miles (I actually ran closer to 70), and I ran ten runs in under 8:59 per mile (most of them are now under 8:30, and the last few have been hovering around/below 8:00!!! holy jeezum crow!). I did NOT run 16 times in 4 weeks. I only got 14 in. That's okay though, since that is the goal I was least interested in, anyway. That's what I tell myself.
Within those four weeks,I managed my first 20 mile week and my first ten mile run. Now that I've established my pre-prescribed 8 week base, I'm on the hunt for a half marathon to run in about six weeks. Training should begin on Monday. Or whenever my new liver arrives.

Wow, two spiritual leaders in the group! This is almost too good to be true. Amazing numbers, especially given the circumstances last week! Alrighty, I might not be close to kicking your ass with the 300 race, but now you have given me a new goal - start running miles under 8 mins! Done and Done.
Oh oh oh! You didn't return the pope costume yet, did you? Go for a run in it and have Tessa document. I am sure we would all get a kick out of it!
oohhhh...yeah. i need to sanitize the costume first. but that's a good idea, right there ;)
You just keep the ass kickings coming. Good for you. I agree with P.P. I'd love to see you on a run with your Pope get-up. So is the speed coming from you or the I-pod. Just wondering if I need to get one a little sooner than planned.
