Portland Marathon (26.2 Miles) 00:03:31, Place overall: 711, Place in age division: 80 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 26.20 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 26.20 | had a FANTASTIC marathon! Time
sort of sucked (3:31) but given that i had about 4 weeks of training
since Rolfmeister Ale Duarte got me back into the running, i'm cool
with that. mostly though i was just relaxed and happy throughout,
pushed it hard, and had plenty of kick left at the end. One of the
clever tools i used was my ability to talk myself into things that
aren't real - n
this instance, however, it was used to positive effect: when i hit 20
miles i successfully conned my body into forgetting that completely and
to operate on the premise i was just starting out on an easy 6 miles
run. It worked dreamily.
And now i know i can do a 3-hr time, which i was a bit on the fence
about after the SF marathon debacle inn July. 2 good years in a row here. Yeahhhhh!

Chicago Marathon (26.2 Miles) 00:03:48 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 26.20 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 26.20 | The time was unimpressive...but two marathons in 7 days is a cool feather-in-the-cap. Last week's marathon was so good I decided to run one again today!
Actually it was because Allie wanted to reprise our 2005 marathon duel
in Hawaii. She couldn't pull off the training this year, however, what
with work + studies + health issues. We met at mile 25 and, holding
hands, crossed the finish line together. Of far greater intelligence
than her father, she then hustled back and helped her friend, Caroline,
cross the finish line an hour or so later: 2 miles of running, and
crossing the finish line twice: smart kid! She hopes to be able to run
the whole thing again next year. I didn't have the ooomph today,
and didn't try to push it to hard as a consequence, but still crossed
in 3:48.
it was a beautiful fall day hear, albeit a little warm for marathoning.
The light and leaves golden, the air clean, and the lake a Mediterranean
azure. On top of that watching a flowing river of 45000 humans and
being cheered on by a million-plus fans was stunning! The Sun Times captured Olga and I in a post-race smooch:
