20 minute recovery run (jog) in my neighborhood. For whatever it's worth (because I was running slowly anyway)I had negative splits going up hill.
In other running news, my brother just ran the San Francisco 1/2 marathon, and even with a pit stop to use the restroom after the first 6 miles, he finished in 1:41, a new PR for him, finishing 6th in his division. I asked him about his improvement in time and he said that he's training with a running group... finally. He said if he didn't have a pit stop he could have finished much faster.
Yesterday's song:
Ups and Downs - Paul Revere and the Raiders
PEACE

Nice job on your negative splits.
And congrats to your brother!
Great run, and congrats to your bro!! Nice speedy run!
Congratulations to your brother. I think he's trying to compete with your running. ;)
So have you been encouraging your brother to run with a group? Sounds as if it worked.
The song - Rick James.
Oh bummer...Miss Rachel beat me to it...and this is the first one I've known in awhile!
Hey, a 20 minute recovery run is better than nothin' which is what I did today :-)
Back to PT tomorrow!
That's pretty blazing fast for your brother!
You know - I had completely forgotten about KROQ. Those were the days! In these days of iPods, I rarely listen to radio anymore. And if I do, it's some talk or sports talk radio. But, Richard Blade and the Swedish Egil still have a gig on Siruis Satellite Radio!
Sometimes pit stops are better than the alternate..UGH!! I wish that I would not need a pit stop but my bladder just does not hold out for the long races.
Congrats to your brother! I love the little "doh!" face you added.
Lisa,
Thanks, I really wasn't trying hard. I was just trying to go forward.
Mel,
He's a bit competitive. I'm surprised he hasn't run Boston yet.
Cami,
I agree. I was on his heels before my hip surgery last year. I think that intimidated him!
Rachel,
I think he saw how it helped me. I'm glad he finally joined a group. Winner!
AKA Alice,
20 minutes was on the schedule, so it was a planned thing. :)
Glenn,
He's very much a type A, full of energy person. I'm sure he'll knock a few minutes off of THAT PR time.
Mel - Tall Mom,
He told me he realized the need to "go" is important before starting a race, whether if you have to or not! Maybe it's a part of race jitters? I don't know. Even though, he still pulled out a pretty good time!
Sara,
Thanks! For as long as he's been running, he's just now making sense of training. He's 53 and been running since high school... DOH!
