and again I say, quickly
School started last week and I've got 40 kinds of chaos happening here. But I will post my training just because I still do train and still can post. The past two weeks were as follows:
week ending 1/31/06: at this point I was still planning to run the disney marathon, but not as an all-out effort.
M: 6mi (8:29)
T: 1.78mi (9:38), sick w/cold, bailed
W: 9mi (7:38) incl a few hard miles but not a full-fledged workout
R: 10mi (7:42)
F: 8.01mi (8:03)
Sa: 9.21 incl 5-mile race (33:26, 7th OA, 1st masters, and a little
PR)
Su: 13.2mi (7:35)
total: 57.2 miles
week ending 1/7/07:
M: 4mi (8:36)
T: 8mi incl 2x2.5mi tempo (6:47 avg)
W: 6.16mi (8:58)
R: 4.24mi (8:27) incl 6x30s strides
F: 12.01mi (8:18)
Sa: 10mi incl 3 hard miles in 2nd half: 6:20 (too fast!), 6:43 (too
slow!), 6:35 (juuussst right)
Su: 18mi (8:16), muggy, sweltering, so glad I wasn't doing this in
Orlando with 12000 other sorry souls
total: 62.4 miles
Obviously, last week wasn't much of a taper and didn't have a marathon at the end of it. Last Wednesday I decided that the X-Treme Idiocy of disney logistics, along with the promise of 70s temps and 90s humidity, made this race completely not-worth-it at any level, from all-out effort to just-a-too-long-training-slog. I'd be better off saving whatever I have for the Bank of America marathon in 6 weeks. So I allowed myself one last day of pseudo-taper and started adding miles again. We'll see where this leads.

Pac-Man Fever
by Buckner & Garcia
I got a pocket full of quarters, and I'm headed to the arcade.
I don't have a lot of money, but I'm bringing ev'rything I made.
I've got a callus on my finger, and my shoulder's hurting too.
I'm gonna eat them all up, just as soon as they turn blue.
Chorus:
'Cause I've got Pac-Man fever;
Pac-Man fever.
It's driving me crazy.
Driving me crazy.
I've got Pac-Man fever;
Pac-Man fever.
I'm going out of my mind.
Going out of my mind.
I've got Pac-Man fever;
Pac-Man fever.
I'm going out of my mind.
Going out of my mind.
I've got all the patterns down, up until the ninth key.
I've got Speedy on my tail, and I know it's either him or me.
So I'm heading out the back door and in the other side;
Gonna eat the cherries up and take them all for a ride.
Chorus
I'm gonna fake it to the left, and move to the right;
'Cause Pokey's too slow, and Blinky's out of sight.
Guitar solo
Now I've got them on the run, and I'm looking for the high score;
So it's once around the block, And I'll slide back out the side door.
I'm really cookin' now, eating everything in sight.
All my money's gone, so I'll be back tomorow night.
'Cause I've got Pac-Man fever;
Pac-Man fever.
It's driving me crazy.
Driving me crazy.
I've got Pac-Man fever;
Pac-Man fever.
I'm going out of my mind.
Going out of my mind.
Repeat and fade
