Let's kick off this post by saying kudos to Convention News Television for their excellent coverage of IAEE's Expo! Expo!— a conference geared for professionals in the events and exhibitions industry— which is currently taking place in New Orleans. (You can check out the coverage by clicking here.) CNTV offers conference planners a way to leverage video coverage to enhance events, and "provides unique coverage for the meetings industry that can be sponsored… generating a new stream of revenue for our clients."
In addition to providing valuable content for attendees and offering an innovative sponsorship opportunity, CNTV also provides value for those unable to attend the event.
I was fortunate enough to be an attendee of Expo! Expo! in 2009 (primarily due to the convenient and cost-effective venue – just a couple of miles from my then home). Although I know I'm missing out on a great event this year, I am currently sitting at my dining room table (a mere 900 plus miles away) keeping up with the meeting via the interesting and helpful video coverage. The coverage—which is very professionally executed— offers more than a simple glimpse of the meeting's hot topics and highlighted events. It also serves as an excellent reminder of the on-site excitement, valuable networking opportunities and education that I experienced during last year's conference. What a powerful and impressive way to generate interest and encourage non-attendees to check out future IAEE offerings!
The only thing on my wish list to enhance the CNTV coverage of IAEE would be the addition of truly impromptu man-on-the-street style interviews* with attendees and speakers throughout the meeting, a la Emilie Barta during EventCamp 2010. Incorporating less formal, unscripted testimonials and commentary from attendees and speakers would liven the coverage up while creating more of a connection for non-attendees.
*I may have missed existing coverage in this format, or it may be incorporated in future coverage I haven't yet seen.
Finally, although I'm green with envy, I'm loving the Twitterfeed (the hashtag is #expoexpo if you want to follow along) — so keep your tweets coming and have a great time in NOLA!

Budget 2017: Govt's balm for demonetisation-hit small businesses, tax cut by 5%
Finance minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday reduced tax for smaller businesses that took a big hit following the government's decision to recall high-value notes.union-budget Updated: Feb 01, 2017 22:24 IST
Finance minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday reduced tax for smaller businesses that took a big hit following the government's decision to recall high-value notes.
Presenting the 2017 budget, Jaitley reduced the corporate tax from 30% to 25% for units with an annual turnover of less than Rs 50 crore. These businesses saw a 60% drop in workforce after demonetisation.
"This will make our MSME sector more competitive compared with large companies. The estimated revenue forgo vis-a-vis this measure is expected to be Rs 7,200 crore per annum," Jaitley said in his speech.
The minister said the reduction in the tax for smaller companies was necessary after demonetisation as they were the major job creators.
"Post-demonetisation, I had a promise to keep to help the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector. MSMEs are the job creators," he said.
For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with turnover of up to Rs 2 crore, Jaitley said the presumptive tax would be lowered from 8% to 6%, a move that will lower financial burden and give the much-needed boost to small merchants.
"This 5% tax respite will make a huge difference in the revenue chains of the MSMEs and we will also witness a significant shift from proprietorship registrations to private limited/ LLP registered firms creating a more favourable working environment for MSME players," said R Narayan, founder and CEO, Power2SME.
Jaitley also said startups could carry forward losses despite change in shareholding. However, there are caveats on promoter shareholding.
For startups, clamouring for tax incentives, the finance minister said they would pay taxes for three out of seven years -- up from five last year -- only if they make profits.
These steps are in addition to what Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on December 31. He announced an increase in the credit guarantees for this sector from Rs 1 crore to Rs 2 crore.
This cash-based informal sector constitutes over 90% of all enterprises and is the largest job provider. Besides, the MSME sector is not yet ready for the goods and services tax and with the new tax regime expected to kick in later this year, it could compound their woes.
"The MAT carry forward for 15 years and the extension to seven years for availing the three-year tax holiday shall leave some much needed cash in their coffers. The 5% tax rebate will also benefit asset management companies," said Sunil K Goyal, founder and CEO, YourNest India VC Fund. "Predictability shall lead to better inflow of capital in VCF and AIF and will also encourage FDI."
The 12th five year plan had said Rs 24,000 crore was required to be directed to the sector for healthy growth. Public sector banks that are mandated to lend a certain proportion of their loan kitty to the micro, small and medium enterprises have urged the Reserve Bank of India to relax the credit-rating parameters for these entities.
Credit flow towards the MSME sector has been thinning due to a surge in banks' non-performing assets.
Most banks have been shying away from financing these businesses due to stringent norms and default rate among the MSMEs has been rising. Commerce and industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman, too, has been drawing attention to the problem.
The budget, however, did not highlight any measures to ease funding. No steps were spelt out for banks worried about loan defaults.

Top performers at Gibson run away with cash awards
The Gibson-McCook Relays Organising Committee (GMROC) on Wednesday feted and presented with cheques the top performers at the 2019 staging of the event at the Hospitality Room at the National Stadium.
Chairman of the GMROC, Professor Rainford Wilks, lauded all the athletes for their exceptional performances and urged them to continue to maintain the high standards.
Wilks told the athletes that he is willing to pay good money to watch them run because of the joy it brings to see them perform.

The Queen's School, who have been steadily on the improve, were also Medley Relay record-breakers with 4:00.83.
The other record-breakers at the meet were Calabar High, who returned to the event after a one-year hiatus. They won the 4x800m in a new time of 7:31.71.
The best performance by a track club or institution (Women) went to Sprintec Track Club and they were presented with a $75,000 cheque by First Global Bank.

The legal age for drinking will now be 23 years instead of 21 years, the Kerala government has said. To curb the problem of alcoholism in the state, the Left-led government of Pinari Vijayan has passed an Ordinance, raising the age bar for drinking. The Ordinance has been sent to Governor P Sathasivam for clearance.
- Legal age for drinking now 23 instead of 21 in Kerala
- Opposition Congress has called new order a gimmick
- State had started moving towards prohibition under earlier Congress rule
The average age of first exposure to alcohol in Kerala is said to be 14 years. Critics say the new rules will only make underage drinking secret.
Kerala has started moving towards total prohibition under the earlier Congress-led government.
The Oommen Chandy government, which had stopped granting liquor licences to all except Five-Star hotels, had said the state would be alcohol-free within a decade. Thousands of bars and pubs had been shut down across the state.
Though the move was hailed by social activists, owners and workers in the liquor and hospitality industry started strong protests. Later, a drop in tourism, one of the mainstays of revenue for the state government, was also attributed to the ban.
After the LDF government came to power earlier this year, it diluted the ban, allowing three-star hotels and resorts to sell alcohol. The government, however, said the minimum drinking age would be raised - a move that critics said was an effort to counter accusations of giving in to the liquor lobby.
The Congress, which is now in the opposition, has called it a gimmick.
"During our time the total number of hotels that served liquor was just two dozen and today that number has dramatically gone up... raising the age to 23 is just an eye wash," senior Congress leader Joseph Vazhackan was quoted as saying by news agency IANS.

From the sleep doctor's perspective, there are only a few resources from which they would typically gain new information to make decisions about selecting pertinent technology for their patients. The most common source in this day and age of alleged cost-consciousness would be how PAP modes are ranked by insurance reimbursements. As the vast majority of sleep physicians prescribe CPAP, and in most cases presume that all CPAPs are equivalent, then cost becomes the final arbiter in the decision for which brand of CPAP to select. Of course, a sleep doctor who is simply referring patients to a DME may show no preferences and leave it to the DME to determine the brand of CPAP, and we would expect in most instances the DME would also use cost as the final arbiter. The exception to this rule, for which there are no available data, arises when a sleep physician prescribes brand-specific PAP modes for whatever clinical, cost, or lifestyle reasons, the latter exemplified by travel considerations.
Beyond this straightforward decision-making process, we next find sleep physicians who regularly read the scientific sleep literature, from which they would again be reinforced with the idea that the use of other devices beyond CPAP provides no further benefits except in rare to occasional circumstances. Unfortunately, this view represents a gross misreading of the sleep literature as we described in a paper which is currently under review for publication. One specific point we make and have described elsewhere is that the literature on BPAP and ABPAP devices is heavily slanted toward studying patients who do not need these devices. In other words, no one that I am aware of is suggesting that BPAP or ABPAP devices are needed in straightforward or classic sleep apnea cases, yet the research studies comparing CPAP to BPAP or CPAP to ABPAP frequently declare the devices yield identical results, which I would argue tells us nothing. If BPAP or ABPAP are relevant, then they are relevant for patients who might need them, not for classic sleep apnea patients. Regrettably, only a very small amount of research has ever been conducted to test this theory; and, all the studies that have tested this idea indicate there are useful aspects to advanced technology (See references below for some of the best studies on the topic).
Once sleep physicians develop entrenched opinions based on the scientific "evidence," it would take stronger or more influential information to change their minds. One such piece of information, surprisingly or not, is word of mouth. Sometimes a sleep doctor treating one of his own patients might hear about a previously struggling patient at another center; this other patient (the one struggling with PAP) might be the brother or mother or friend of the patient speaking to the sleep physician. The story told might be that once the other patient was switched to advanced technology, provided by a competing sleep center or DME in the same city, the patient rapidly adapted to PAP. Despite the anecdotal case history, the sleep doctor in question may wonder whether or not consideration should be given to the advanced technology. And, if such circumstances were repeatedly played out, it would certainly affect most business-minded professionals to consider new treatment options.
On the other hand, the field of sleep medicine at the local level often suffers from a huge gap in follow-up knowledge. That is, it is incredibly common for patients to drop out of care at one center and then seek care at another center without the first center ever hearing or knowing what happened at the second center. With data just from our own center since 2003, we know of roughly 2500 patients who had attempted sleep disorders' treatment at another facility before seeking care at our center, and more than 90% of these patients had already attempted and failed CPAP or were currently struggling with CPAP while continuing to use it, and it is very unclear to what extent other sleep centers in our locale hear about how we had switched these patients to ABPAP or ASV. Also, by comparison to those struggling, few patients would have sought care at our center simply to get new supplies or because they had moved to New Mexico.
Another way in which a sleep physician may be influenced would be at conferences with other sleep physicians. Regardless of what might be covered in the lecture halls, person-to-person interactions sometimes have the greatest influence, because someone may hear that BPAP or ABPAP is working much better in their more challenging OSA/UARS cases.
All these influences are highly relevant, each in their own way and their own circumstances, but the biggest factor in this whole process is the role of the technology manufacturers who make the products we use to treat our OSA/UARS. These companies are the biggest movers and shakers in the field of sleep medicine, because they have done more to enhance PAP compliance than any other entity in the this mix of professionals and institutions, just by their massive efforts to enhance mask technology.
By way of analogy, think back to a time when so many cancer patients rejected return trips to chemotherapy because of the horrible side effects of nausea and vomiting. What changed that world was newer drugs and integrated combinations of drugs that now markedly decrease these burdensome side-effects. New mask technology has rapidly changed the field of sleep medicine in a similar way by eliminating so many of the side-effects associated with older and less comfortable, if not painful masks.
In the next post we will delve further into the role of PAP manufacturers and their impact on professional attitudes towards sleep technology.

Day 20...Found my Tiger Blood!!!!...finally
dawndblue posted a topic in Troubleshooting your Whole30This is my 4th (or maybe 5th) Whole 30 in 2 years. While the others have been during times when I've had a mostly healthy lifestyle (sticking to a mostly paleo diet (at least at home) and exercising regularly) before starting. This one, however, follows about 4 months of food and (lack of) exercise debauchery...just because #life. I knew it was exactly what I needed to reset my body (and my mind). Because my previous Whole 30's were so successful, I had high expectations. I've been very frustrated that I haven't been feeling the extreme positive results and NSV's this time that I have in the past. I started questioning whether I was "doing it wrong" and considered giving up...because, you know, my newfound love of good, craft IPA's was much more satisfying (see debauchery above) I've been reading the Whole 30 day-by-day and trying to stick with it. At any rate, the point of my post is to offer encouragement to others who are as frustrated as I was. Whether this is your first or your 5th+ Whole 30. Everything that the program says about everyone experiencing Tiger Blood differently and at different times as well as where you are coming from before starting your Whole 30 making a big difference is 100% true!!! Stick with it!!! 2 days ago I was considering giving up. Today, I'm considering extending for another 15 days (though I'm not gonna lie...I'd still kill for a good IPA LOL!).

Adding a fireplace is a surefire way to improve the look and feel of any room in your home – they provide warmth while becoming the centerpiece. However, many homeowners struggle with one major decision: gas vs wood fireplaces.
There are many differences between gas and wood fireplaces that you may not know. This will make deciding between the two much harder and you might not get what you want.
In this article, we'll show you the benefits of both styles so you can decide once and for all – which is better for your home: gas vs wood fireplaces.
Gas fireplaces are a great option for your Chicago home. They provide warmth while being easy to use and require low maintenance. We'll go over those and many other benefits in greater detail below.
Between the two options, gas fireplaces are much easier to use. With the simple push of a button, your fireplace is started. There's no hassles, chopping wood or trying to get it to ignite.
Some gas fireplaces even come with a remote control so you can start your fireplace from anywhere in the room. This makes it much easier for children to use without getting hurt because they don't need to be anywhere near your fireplace.
While they're not created by burning logs, gas fireplaces' fires look extremely real. Ceramic gas logs are hand painted to look like real wood. The beauty gap between wood and gas fireplaces is a thing of the past.
If you're looking for the lower maintenance option in gas vs wood fireplaces, gas is the obvious choice. Gas log fireplaces aren't burning real logs so you don't have to worry about cleaning up ash after each and every burn.
Plus, since you aren't burning real wood, there will be less soot and creosote lining the walls of your chimney. That means you won't have to get your chimney swept as often. However, don't think you wont need your chimney swept ever. Gas is just a cleaner burn so you won't have to as frequently.
Another thing you need to consider is how you're going to get wood for a wood burning fireplace. Logs are expensive and you can burn through them quickly. If you don't want to buy logs, chopping down trees is hard work. There's no easy, cheap way to get wood for your fireplace.
When real wood burns, chunks crack and fall off creating crackles and pops. When the fire pops, there's bound to be sparks that fly off. If you don't have a fireplace glass door, there's a chance anything near your fireplace can catch fire.
This isn't a problem you need to worry about with gas log fireplaces. Since there are no real logs, you aren't creating ashes or sparks. It's much safer especially if you have rugs or carpeting in the area.
Many homeowners think they need a chimney to have a fireplace in their home. That just isn't the case with gas fireplaces. Many of them have venting systems which allows the smoke to funnel out of your home without having a chimney.
There are even ventless fireplaces that don't require a vent or chimney to use. Don't worry, they're safe and are powered by natural gas, propane or gel.
One of the benefits of a gas fireplace is that your home is more energy efficient. This is because 25% more heat is kept in your home and you aren't relying so heavily on your heater to keep your home comfortable. This will help you save money your energy bills.
Plus, gas burns cleaner and more efficiently than wood. The reason your home retains 25% more heat with a gas fireplace is because 99% of the heat created by your fireplace doesn't escape through the chimney. A wood fireplace is usually between 60%-80% heat retention so there's a dramatic difference with a gas fireplace.
Overall, you'll have a consistent heat source unlike wood fireplaces. Every time you use your gas fireplace, you're ensured about 8 hours of heat. It's the perfect way to get you through the harsh Chicago weather.
Don't think that there aren't any benefits to a wood fireplace. They offer a lot to Chicago homeowners that you can't get with other fireplace styles. We'll go over the benefits of wood fireplaces below.
Wood burning fireplaces are real fires made by real wood. There's a certain look and feel to a wood fire that you won't get with gas or electric fireplaces.
Not only does it look better, but there are also certain smells and sounds associated with wood fireplaces. You don't get the snapping, cracking or popping with gas fireplaces. Plus, the smell of pine or other Earthy scents will make the room more comfortable.
Gas and electric fireplaces are reliant on more than just the fireplace itself. You'll need a gas line in order to even get a gas log fireplace and you can't use electric fireplaces if the power goes out.
Since wood fireplaces are real fires and only require wood, they're not dependent on another source of energy. This means you can use them no matter the situation. All you need to do is get some wood and light it on fire.
There's an aura of elegance and romance associated with wood burning fireplaces. The sounds of crackling and popping are relaxing and will help comfort you.
Plus, you'll impress guests with your beautiful wood fireplace. When they're lit, there's nothing quite like them. You simply can't beat a real fire on a cold winter night in Chicago.
In order to use gas and electric fireplaces, you need to use some form of energy. Whether it's gas or electricity, you'll end up paying more on your bills just to use them. You can't say the same for wood burning fireplaces.
Since wood fireplaces aren't dependent on any for of energy, you won't have to spend money in order to use them. You can heat an entire room without worrying about how much it's going to cost you.
Wood burning fireplaces offer many wood options for homeowners. Believe it or not, it can determine the length of the fire and the warmth you feel. In fact, there are even aromatic logs that can create a scent in your home.
When it comes down to gas vs wood fireplaces, the answer isn't easy. One isn't necessarily better than the other – it mostly depends on what you're looking for from your fireplace. Do you want elegance and energy independence or a low maintenance, clean burning option?

8 key topics discussed at Future Armoured Vehicles Weapon Systems 2018
SMi reports: The 3rd annual Future Armoured Vehicles Weapon Systems conference will be returning to London this June
SMi´s 3rd annual Future Armoured Vehicles Weapon Systems conference will be returning to London this summer to host a wealth of debate and discussions around developing the next generation of fire superiority for armoured combat vehicles.
With asymmetric warfare at an all-time high, armoured vehicles are continuously required to operate across diverse environments against varying enemy forces, and need to be able to deliver the firepower required to eliminate these heterogeneous hazards. Whether exploiting surface-to-air missiles to counter airborne units, infantry fighting capabilities or beyond line of sight ranged artillery in support of advancing soldiers, modern armoured vehicles continue to rely on a myriad of weapon systems to deliver the lethality required to achieve their mission objectives.
SMi's two-day meeting promises to delve into the heart of lethality systems within international mounted formations. Here is an overview of what delegates can expect from this year´s conference:
8 key topics discussed: International and Host Nation Keynote Presentations, Next Generation Armoured Vehicle Capability, Industry Technical Developments - Ammunition and Turrets, US Army Cavalry Platforms Present and Future, Weapon System Optimisation across North America, Industry Perspectives on Armoured Vehicle Development, Weapon System Trials, Research and Development, Open Architecture Approaches to Armoured Assets.
4 comprehensive technical briefings from: Rheinmetall discussing "Technical Updates On The Puma Ifv Weapon Systems – Developments And Way Forward", CTA International presenting "Technical Updates On The Internal Ballistics And Munitions Used Within The Scorpion Programme", FNSS Savuma Sistemleri A.S speaking on "Designing The Future: Delivering Innovative Firepower Capabilities Through New Weapon Systems" and BAE Systems Hagglunds AB discussing "In Peace Time Only Simple Things Are Possible, In War Time Not Even That".
9+ different nations attending: The United States, Israel, Canada, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Sweden, Turkey, UK and more.
2 Sponsors showcasing the latest technologies: SMi's latest sponsors are CMI Defence and Leonardo who will both be presenting and exhibiting the latest cutting-edge solutions and technologies that are revolutionising how military forces conduct mechanised warfare.

One year to the day after finishing our last tour, we've started on our next one. And since it's a new tour, we thought we'd start with something new: getting an early start.
Last year's West Coast tour was amazing. But it was also all-consuming for over a year, between planning, training, and actually riding. We wanted to do something a little lighter. We had a great time biking in Oregon both down the coast and on our earlier Cascades tour. Anne found us another loop, in the northeast part of the state, the Grande Tour Scenic Bikeway. We're doing the 135 mile loop in three days.
We did very little training or prep. I haven't even ridden with a full set of panniers. We used our well tested pack list from last year. Since we're only biking for a few days in a small part of the country, we could limit the amount of weather to pack for. It was surprisingly difficult to leave behind rain pants and the green torpedo, despite weather expected in the 80s and 90s and 0% chance of rain. I ended up keeping my rain socks as a talisman against rain.
We planned the trip around the Fourth of July holiday, since my vacation time is still a little scarce from last year's binge. That puts us in the hot season. As we were looking at the forecast last night, we realized we couldn't just ignore the heat, expected in the 80s. Last year we didn't really set alarms, and ended up rolling out around 9 or 10. This time, we decided to set a 4:30 alarm for a target 5:30 rollout, a little after sunrise.
Between last minute prep, packing the car, and getting the kids awake enough to stuff breakfast down their throats, we actually started the ride at 6:20, which I consider a success. It was cool enough to start the ride with arm warmers.
We rode through La Grande, quickly getting to the outskirts of town. Houses gave way to farms, growing wheat, corn, and basil. There were cattle, horses and sheep as well.
It was quite flat for the ride into Union, where we'll be staying tomorrow night. Union has a rather cute downtown and central strip, with big brick buildings. We stopped briefly at the gas station, and Anne chatted with a patron who worked at the wind farm we'd be driving through, and gave her a verbal preview of the route.
Then it was on to the only proper climb of the day. It stayed at a fairly gentle 3% as the surroundings shifted from farms to undeveloped countryside. Our kind of road. We got ever closer to the wind farm we had seen earlier on top of the ridge line in the distance. The temperature had picked up a bit, but we had a nice tailwind to compensate.
Traffic died down, too, but didn't disappear. An SUV got stuck behind us for a moment while an oncoming pickup went by. When the lane cleared, the SUV slowly came up, and was clearly going to tell us something. I was a bit nervous. When motorists want to tell us something, it often is to tell us to get off the road, or sometimes commentary on our parenting choices. I guess it was the latter, but encouraging commentary. "What a nice family outing." I called out thanks as they zoomed off.
We climbed ever closer to the wind turbines. Ruth liked to count them as we got clearer views. The largest number I heard was in the thirties, but there must have been more. As we got higher, the wind got stronger. But it stayed to our rear, simultaneously a cooling breeze and accelerating aide.
We finally hit the summit, and were treated to a short downhill section, before it leveled off on the plateau. The wind was less consistently on our back, but it calmed down once we decended a bit.
The terrain transitioned back to farms. We started climbing a vampire hill – an incline so gradual you just feel slow without really feeling like you're climbing – and passed into North Powder.
Like Union, North Powder has a cute downtown. The houses vary from manufactured homes to really interesting designs, in assorted states of repair. We were getting hungry, so we found a playground at a school to stop at.
Usually the kids fight over who gets to have Mommy pull their trailer. We let one pick in the morning, then let the other pick for the afternoon. Today, for whatever reason, Max decided he liked me better. He wanted me both in the morning and in the afternoon.
It was 11 am, and continued heating up. But we had half the miles and most of the climbing behind us. Maybe there's something to this early start business.
After lunch we continued the vampire hill along farms. Many were being irrigated. There were more cattle ranches. The cows here are collectively excited to see cyclists. Horses, too, for that matter. The road flattened out, but we still had lots of flat miles to go. We circled around Haines, but didn't enter it. We stopped a couple of times when we could find shade and sprayed some water using Anne's fancy new mister. Max napped for much of the afternoon. The snow capped mountains in the distance crept closer, though they won't be anything but backdrop on this trip.
Traffic picked up, though it was still pretty calm. A giant tractor drove by in the other direction, driven by what looked like a ten year old boy. He had things under control, though.
We came to the last climb on the cuesheet. It was really just an overgrown vampire hill. We conquered it, then got a surprisingly nice downhill part, before we had to make the last few miles into Baker City and our hotel.
It was still pretty early, so we managed to hit the pool before dinner. We ate tastey barbeque in a restaurant converted out of train cars, much to the kids' delight.
After dinner and groceries, Anne took us to a Chinese graveyard across from our hotel. It was used from 1880 to 1940, and had some informative signage.
We're definitely out of practice, but it was still a good ride. Tomorrow is a bit shorter in mileage but more climbing, which should be nice. The forecast is hotter than today, so we're doing the early start thing again.

Tis the Season for Racing!
I'm starting to realize that I'm a seasonal blogger. I guess that I'm of the belief that for most people - training is pretty boring. The real meat and potatoes is in the racing! But, I suppose that's not always true. So if you'd love to hear more about what I do on a daily basis, lemme know! Maybe writing it all down will keep me more accountable to myself in this final stretch of training!
That being said, I knew that this next block of training was going to take some serious willpower. As always, Tyler and I head home for the Thanksgiving holiday to our respective family homes in Illinois. It always turns into a monumental road trip (16+ hours anyone??) with several forced rest days as we spend it driving in the car. Note: if you're one of those people that can get up early (or stay up late) after a massive road trip...I commend you! You are much stronger than I am!
Going back to Illinois is always tricky for a few reasons. The weather NEVER seems to play nice! Ever. It's pretty much the universal rule that when I travel back to my hometown it will inevitably get much much colder. (Spoiler alert: It happened again!)
On top of that, both Tyler and I's families are located far out from any large urban areas --we're talking gravel roads and cows. There's been years in past trips where we got snow and no one plowed the roads! DEFINITELY makes the planning a bit difficult.
This year, we got really lucky! I would say that it's been a pretty warm year and the winter so far in Illinois has been mild. In fact, Friday morning I was able to run by the river in shorts!! Shorts! God bless 63 degrees at Thanksgiving time in Illinois.
But, as with anything that is wonderful, it pretty immediately came to an end. Even during the run on Friday, the wind was coming in hard and the temperature was dropping. By Saturday morning, the temperature was in the teens. (Cue groaning)
Saturday morning, Tyler and I woke up bright and early to head down to the Rockford Jingle Bell Run for their annual 5k. I was really excited to get the chance to shake off the dust and work on a bit of speed work. I wasn't planning on racing the 5k all out because I knew that I had some big workouts coming up, including my biggest long run to date and another 10k.
The weather was also awful. I had planned on wearing a cute race outfit with my favorite Zensah compression sleeves. However, the weather was just NOT having it. I did a quick warmup of the course with Tyler and fought gail force winds the entire time. Luckily, most of the course was in a neighborhood, so the houses helped block the wind, but that didn't stop the 25 MPH winds from cruising into your face on the first and last mile. Pants were staying on. It was too cold.
The plan was simple: Practice 10k pace! First and foremost, I haven't raced a 10k in forever, so I was simply going off of McMillian's running calculator about what my 10k pace should be. Keep in mind--this is a girl who's 10k PR was in a half marathon! I really had no clue what I was doing. I knew that I wanted to PR the 10k pace (which would have been a 7:37 pace) so I made myself a couple goals. McMillian told me that I should run 7:12 pace (44:45) for the 10k. Cool. I can do that!
I went into the race with a bit of dismal attitude. I wanted a fair shake at running my 10k pace, but I felt like the wind and the frigid weather was putting me at a serious disadvantage. And, let's be honest, I just absolutely hate and despise the cold.
After a quick warmup, we jumped up at the start line and were ready to go! It was cold and windy and I was ready to go! The gun goes off and the lead guys (with Tyler in tow!) head down the hill. I'm always keenly aware that everyone in a 5k starts off WAY too fast, so I just kept checking my watch and doing my best to keep the speed under control, even if that meant letting some people go ahead of me. After all, this was a workout, not a race!
As we took off down the long straightaway at the start, I saw Tyler up ahead in the lead pack, making the first turn. I wasn't too far back at this point, but I knew that they were rolling at a good pace and I was about to lose him soon. I split the first mile a little fast, in 7:08, but I was feeling nice and relaxed. I spent the next mile focusing on catching some of the people in front of me and running steady and hit it in 7:15. It was a little bit slower, but I knew that it was still within the range and it was steady. The last mile turned up hill again, but I knew I was almost done. 7:12 on the dot!
I was happy with my performance, considering that it was a workout! In fact, it was a 5k PR! I finished in 22:08 and it was good enough for 3rd female overall! I netted an awesome glass award and a Jingle Bell run scarf!
The big workout of the weekend was my long run. I had 22 miles on the schedule and I had never attempted to run this far in training, let alone this far on my own, in the middle of rural Illinois. I had mapped out a plan for myself online that allowed me to loop back on myself several times for water stops. The route looked like a clover, with each loop being close to 4-6 miles.
It was one of the hardest, most mentally challenging things that I have ever done! I never thought that I would have so much issue with the miles, but the long stretches of country road (which never feel like they go by quickly!) just seemed to stretch on forever. It was also soooo cold, with a starting temperature of 27. I had on every layer that I had brought with me, and I was still cold! ACK! Luckily for me though, the wind that I had dealt with on Saturday was gone by Monday and the sun was out!
I struggled through the run the best that I could, with Tyler manning the water stops for me. I tried to hold a steady pace and just focusing on running strong and easy. The route might have been tough, but my legs felt really strong! I was so proud of myself when I was done! 22 miles AND I nailed it! I knew that mentally, if I could get through this, I could DEFINITELY get through a marathon! The mental game was going to be the easy part!
We headed down to Liberty, Illinois (further down the state) on Tuesday afternoon to visit Tyler family. It was another rest day for me, but one that was needed for me since my legs were pretty sore from the day before. I love being down in Tyler's hometown because it's so small and quaint and everything that his mom makes is so good! Seriously, I'm basically a rolling ball of food right now.
The annual Quincy Turkey Trot 10k was on Thanksgiving Day, and this was what I was really looking forward to! We hit the track the day before for a bit of a pre-race dust-buster, especially from the rest day that I had before. It went well, and I focused on staying steady, but not running the intervals too fast.
Going into the race, I had a few goals. As before, I wanted to PR, but I also wanted to win. I had looked at the results from the years before and felt fairly confident that I could run the paces. I also knew that after a long 22 on Monday that my legs might be feeling some of the heaviness of the long run by Thursday. On the warmup, I noticed that my legs felt a bit tired so I knew that it was going to potentially be a "make the most of the day" kinda day.
I started pretty close to the front of the pack when we the gun went off. As always, I knew that it was important to start slow and not allow myself to get caught up in the wave of runners, especially with this race since the 5k started at the same time.
The first mile of the race was up a steady hill that I was doing my best to pace with. It made the first bit of the race seem harder and the pace felt stiff. I knew that once I crested the hill that it would help and I could ease into my pace, but it felt like it never end!
At the turn, we started switching through the neighborhoods, and I really settled into a good groove. I was a little slow on the first mile (7:18) but with the hill, I knew that that was going to happen. The second mile was a bit slower and that was when I realized I needed to adjust my goals a bit.
The long run was definitely having an effect on my legs, but moreso than that, I knew at the 5k split that I was the first female. I can definitely say that I was checking one of the items off my list, and it was hard to run a faster race than what was absolutely necessary. I felt really good around the 7:25 pace that my body had settled into, so I decided to go with it. That was still going to be a PR!
The race itself was pretty boring. It was a large loop of the city, through some of the really beautiful neighborhoods, but there wasn't too much to focus on. I had several men in my sights for most of the race, but we stuck together and helped pace off each other.
The pace felt good and I could tell that I had some left in the tank. I knew this wasn't as hard as I could go, but I was content with the boxes that I was checking off and I was rolling into the homestretch.
The last mile was interesting. The 5k was a combined run/walk, so the final mile of the 10k came up on the back of all of the runners. Logistically, maybe not the best racing idea, but why not have a little bit of a challenge? I darted through the pack, doing my best attempts at shouting "Runner back!" to part the seas of people. I was fairly successful, and brought my final mile down to 7:18. Coming down the last bit of the race, I hit the downhill and gave it what I had left to gain some momentum going into the final hill. I crossed in 45:44, a new 10k PR and first female!
Overall, I was really happy with how this block of training has gone. I raced well, I nailed my workouts, and put down a seriously heavy long run, all with sustainable legs! These are the small victories that we should always praise in training. Now, it's time for a bit of a down week before heading into another long run workout this weekend -- one that I'm really looking forward to!
Things are looking up and I'm getting ready to race!
Until next time,
