Okay Internet People, I know you don’t have anything better to do than watch me run around a track in the dark. So for your viewing pleasure we decided to get really high tech with some fancy pants special effects videography. Either that or we’ve just sunk to an all time low. You can decide.
Today’s torture was inspired by sweet Ewen, who suggested my physiology might do better with slower 200s. And let me state for the record, he was right. I am officially in love 200s. Especially 200s in 65-degree weather. I could run 200s all day long. Everyday. Forever and ever. And never stop. I wanted to do 20 or 25 but I needed to get the little one off to school.
So my new finish-in-way-under-5-hours-marathon plan is to sprint 200 and walk 200. All the way. What do you think? And don’t tell David, I’m going to surprise him with our new plan in Chicago.

Track Torture #2 from Runner Susan on Vimeo.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that yesterday I ran close to 7 miles with Massoman at a 10:29 pace. Slow going out, but super speedy coming in.
Oh, oh, I lost a blinky light during the little yelp.
Suz,
Too awesome! You are well on your way my child to a great marathon!!! I feel blessed to be with you on this journey!
HOLY BLINKING BOOTIES!!!!
There’s a sight we’ll never get tired of – Susan flashing her bottom.
Clever! Yes Cindy, I could see her sweet little bottom blinking 🙂
Susan, great times. 46 for 200 (well, 220 Ciny-esque yards), is 6:10 mile pace. You’re a fast runner. Sweet!
You are some kind of nut. 0:41 200?? My PR at 200 is 0:45 so you are definitely putting me in the back seat. I am riding you to the finish line.
