I don't think I'm going to run the Shamrock marathon, I'm going to be gambling that weekend. I'm running the national marathon in DC the week after that. I would say that up until 3 weeks ago when I started running regularly again I was on about a year and a half hiatus, so 8 miles will be a test, but according to the training my pace should be around a 8 1/2 minute miles, I'm improving at a much faster rate than even I expected so I don't think 8 should be to much of a problem.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404410123848181520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306161.post-1162920075161942292006-11-07T17:21:00.000+00:002006-11-07T17:21:00.000+00:00I think you'll get hurt by Thanksgiving, which sho...I think you'll get hurt by Thanksgiving, which should give you plenty of time to recover.<BR/><BR/>I also don't think you can finish in 3:30, but good luck. The first time I run one, my goal will simply be to finish. Breaking 5 hours will be a bonus for my fat, out-of-shape ass.<BR/><BR/>You said March. Are you looking at the Shamrock on St. Patty's Day, because that would make a great first marathon for an Irish kid. I want to run that one, too.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and you can still run 8 miles? I questioned your desire to start speedwork right at the beginning, but if you can still run 8 miles.....<BR/><BR/>I quit running right after high school. I started again for about 2 or 3 weeks a couple of years ago, and even ran a race. I could barely run 8 miles in a week, and my 5K was like half an hour slower than the first one I ran in high school, and that was like 21:45......I haven't run since. So, I've logged about 20 miles in 10 years since high school.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681278974008561987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306161.post-1162918677160547012006-11-07T16:57:00.000+00:002006-11-07T16:57:00.000+00:00Jake's comment concurs my theory that biking isn't...Jake's comment concurs my theory that biking isn't a real sport.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614731651391431513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306161.post-1162904830409249852006-11-07T13:07:00.000+00:002006-11-07T13:07:00.000+00:00I concur Iceguy.

Lance said it best:<BR/><BR/>"I think I bit off more than I could chew, I thought the marathon would be easier," he said. "(My shins) started to hurt in the second half, especially the right one. I could barely walk up here, because the calves are completely knotted up."<BR/><BR/>He called the race "the hardest physical thing I have ever done" — even more grueling than his worst days on the Tour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306161.post-1162864211253804792006-11-07T01:50:00.000+00:002006-11-07T01:50:00.000+00:00If there is any justice you will kick their arses!...If there is any justice you will kick their arses!!<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486157834509821905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306161.post-1162845931711929962006-11-06T20:45:00.000+00:002006-11-06T20:45:00.000+00:00I'm gonna put you injured by Thanksgiving.
