Decoking is great!it's just plain fun to get our half-century-old bodies to open up a bit, clean out the carburetor once in a while and knock some of the rust off.

Loose dogs help some with my speed work....My speedwork is usually my lunch runs around Transcona in Winnipeg. You have to run fast because you just want to get through this area as quickly as possible , many, many strange people make the runs very interesting. But its great because nobody notices the barefoot guy happily speeding along.
d'ya see the recent NYTimes article on him?Neil Young's music always puts a spring in my step, but I might be partial because he is a Winnipeger too.
They mostly go away to clean themselves out!Especially for New Yorkers I hear.
Yep, barky dogs in the distance, little compliance with controlling animals out here in the countryside.........never thought of it as speedwork, but it sure motivates me to pick it up.Loose dogs help some with my speed work....
You're ahead of me. I usually have to be out by no later than 5am.
It's a nice quiet time, though, right?
Good job! I did some speedwork prior to my last 5k but only like 4-5 runs total. I had been mainly focusing on longer mileage this year. I dont know if the 4-5 runs did much or just my training in general all year but that last 5k was the faster one since crosscountry of my senior year in '95 so something is working!I think that is one reason it is so fun! My husband really helped me with speed work beginning last spring and I saw great benefits from it. I ran in a mile race and was able to do it in just over 7 minutes. I was pretty stoked! Now, I just need to be patient with it again after injury...
Finished up the week with about 84 miles total and a little decoking
Guess that makes my 9 miles look absolutely pathetic and almost worthless.... Someday I will be able to keep up consistent mileage that is decent....Makes my measely 52miles look like a walk in Central Park
I don't have to wade through quantities of moose poop!Makes my measely 52miles look like a walk in Central Park
If there was one reason I'd run early in the AM it would be that. I love the sunset but moonset is also neat and rarely seen. And when its times just prior to sunset is the perfect combo. I sometimes get to see it driving to work, or now that its archery season I'll be watching many sunrises from up in a tree.Watched the moon set while heading west (full!), and then the sun rise behind wispy clouds in the east on the way back.
