Good week

Last week I jumped back into it- 47 miles for the week, 4 runs over 9 miles, a quick 4 mile jog w/ my wife (first time we've jogged together in a long time) and a quick 1 mile run for time on the track (6:04). The Feaster 5 mile in Andover is on Thursday (Thanksgiving), I am planning on going out at 6:15/mile pace and trying to hang on. I ran 6:24/mile for a 5 miler in Nahant, I think my fitness is better and I think this course is likely faster-that is my hope anyhow. If that is the case I ought to negative split the last mile. We'll see what happens!!!!! Looking forward to getting a decent test of my fitness. On another note, I have begun using Running Ahead to log my runs, far superior to MapMyRun in terms of logging tools. Some of the advantages of Running Ahead it is free, unlike MapMyRun which is free until they start boning you when you try to get history. That bothered me initially, but I still fessed up the 30 bucks for the year. Lately, I've just gotten tired of the ads on the page, you can't log track workouts easily, and the reports that you can generate on Mapmyrun have a bunch of useless crap( i.e. calories per run etc). So, I have begun logging all my runs on RunningAhead (plus it has a workable gadget that you can see to the right). Now, I just have to figure out how to port over my records from Mapmyrun to Runningahead.
