Next Stop: The Show!<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping game day is a perfect 52 degrees, sunny (but not too) and just breezy enough to keep you cool while in the sun.<BR/><BR/>I see you also made it to the Phillies' parade. Good on ya! I live a little farther north in Jersey than you do and, up here, far as I could tell, no one was rooting for the Phils. I think they were all still kinda in shock over the Mets. <BR/><BR/>When the Phillies won, I had no one to celebrate with. I had to call my brother in Philadelphia to celebrate long-distance. He said that out in the Art Museum area, where he lives, it was pretty dead also - right in the heart of the city!<BR/><BR/>Whatever happened to showing a city how much you love it by tearing it to shreds like a band of marauding Visigoths after your team takes the title? Isn't love measured in increments of mayhem? <BR/><BR/>Best of luck with the marathon, brother.Glaven Q.

Who knows if my concoction is the real reason, but like "blyfinn" says...."I don't care, I'll take it"<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your first marathon.

You are going to do so great!<BR/><BR/>As far as the hamstrings go...not sure if you're wearing shorts or pants/tights when it's cooler out, but my old PT always advised me to wear pants when I run to keep my legs warm because they always tightened up as well. <BR/><BR/>I sometimes sit with a heating pad on my legs/lower back to keep my muscles loosened up during the day. All this has seemed to help me this time around.<BR/><BR/>Also, make sure you are not flushing too sodium out with water. More Gatorade or salt, maybe?Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623841732966475396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918797968851914213.post-55342645108895770832008-11-02T21:18:00.000-05:002008-11-02T21:18:00.000-05:00Great job - nice splits.

I noticed that most running plans call for 20-22 as last run. I've always thought that was a bit odd?<BR/>Then again what do I know??<BR/>Great running and pace!SuperDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685513856624802455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918797968851914213.post-84231257465186326602008-11-02T15:38:00.000-05:002008-11-02T15:38:00.000-05:00Wonderfully consistent pace!

That's awesome! The only advice that I have for the hamstrings is to possibly start a salt intake for longer runs. That's what I was told and I have not had any issues since. It might be all in my head but I don't care I'll take it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11523172290888888477noreply@blogger.com
