Elixirs for others often turn out to be paralysis potions for me.<BR/><BR/>As for the odometer advice, I could do that myself with a car for the part of the standard loop that can be traversed by car, but I'm not sure if the part I run around Kendall Square is. And part of my run through the Harvard Campus definitely isn't, but I'm not sure how far that is.jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755662766163119607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1130824718707950772005-11-01T00:58:00.000-05:002005-11-01T00:58:00.000-05:00Does your GPS ever lose signal while you're out?

This sometimes causes false readings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1130818863509448322005-10-31T23:21:00.000-05:002005-10-31T23:21:00.000-05:00Put that gadget away, guy.

Clearly, you are up to that. And for the next 2 weeks it's the same pattern only on the weekend you run 9 or 10 miles. The week after that is the race. You can totally do this.Vicky Simpletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061685992317675850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1130811603194046322005-10-31T21:20:00.000-05:002005-10-31T21:20:00.000-05:00glad i don't have gps. 5.8 is a fine distance to t...glad i don't have gps. 5.8 is a fine distance to train for 13.1, since raceday adrenaline is a bracing elixir. IMHO, resting the knee is a bigger deal than mileage. if it feels better in the next two weeks, you might try a <I>slow</I> 9 or 10 (take your time, stop for bakery) just for confidence. then "taper" by not doing much for the week or ten days before the race. of course, as a wise professor once told me at the wizversity, "not all advice is good advice." have fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1130804064985452852005-10-31T19:14:00.000-05:002005-10-31T19:14:00.000-05:00Can't argue with you about the statistics.
