@JillC LI - welcome back! I have saved your trip report for lunchtime reading today. Yesterday - 6.11 miles @9:01/mi pace. I was supposed to do a 'regular' run as my training plan calls it which means this was a bit slow per those standards but seeing that it was in the high 80s and over 90%...

Sunday - Pilates and a 9 mile walk around the neighborhood with my husband. Monday - 5x800 @ 5k pace with 2:45 RI, and 1.5 mi w/u, 1.25 mi c/d - 5.80 mi total. Today - Leg work

Yesterday - 5 miles @ MGP, but as I do I ran way faster than I wanted even using the virtual trainer on my watch, I have 15 weeks to lock in marathon goal pace Today- 12 miles. First time hydrating every 2 miles which is the distance between water stops in my fall marathon. I was super nervous...

Have been sick since Saturday so all runs have been called off. Just got out today for 3.84 miles @9:02/mi. My Garmin is dead since I haven't used it since last Wednesday so I had to use the Nike+ app I've had on my phone since I started running. I really like the way it lays things out at the...

Love these photos. I was not aware that a Bing Bong plush exists, I might need to make that a pay day purchase (thank goodness today is pay day)

Tuesday - Daily Burn - Butts, Thighs, and Hips workout. This was super easy when I was doing it weekly over the spring, haven't done it in a month and a half and oh boy did it burn. Did some extra core and arm work after. Wednesday - 6 mile run home from work. Legs were dead from the workout on...

Sunday - Queens 10k - The start got pushed back by an hour due to heavy rain which meant by the time the race was over it was hot and so humid (94%). Ran without my Garmin and told myself to run what felt comfortable. Ended up walking through the water stations the 2nd half of the race and...

Visor wearer over here! I sweat like a crazy person so I need to wear something across my forehead to keep the sweat from pouring into my eyes which really messes up my contacts. The added sun protection is an added bonus. Headsweats are pretty popular and not too tight at all. I like the...

@dreamfinder and @JillC LI - thanks! Hope everyone heals up while I am away. I am off on vacation for the next 8 days starting tomorrow (cruise, non-Disney) but I hope to take advantage of the gym on the ship to work on some the strength work I need to address before I start marathon training...

@Texas84 - I stayed at Kidani this year for Dopey and it was great. We had one hiccup with getting buses sent down our way I believe for the 5k, and after the 5k I think 6 buses showed up for All Stars before 1 came for AKL :arghh:. After that it was issue free. I will say having a nice tranquil...

Monday - 4 miles progression run. First run in a week and wanted to go nice and easy but my legs felt great so I went from 8:58/mi to 7:30/mi. Nice confidence booster for the race on Wednesday. Tuesday - Daily Burn Inferno Power workout. Wanted a full body workout and told myself I would take...

Hello all! Been off the radar for a bit after my race last week, didn't hit my PR goal but came away with a solid half effort at 1:47 (aiming for sub 1:45). I went out with a pacer who was running faster than pace the first 6 miles - I didn't realize this until I looked at my watch to see a 7:40...

Quick 2.5 mi shakeout run this morning around my parents neighborhood. It was 36 degrees and I Loved it (with a capital L). Wearing shorts and a long sleeve and it was perfection. Won't be that cold tomorrow for the start of the half unfortunately but I suppose I shouldn't expect such perfect...

Thanks! My favorite half (Brooklyn Half) was last weekend and I had to miss it because of the wedding, mid-May can be really ideal temperature wise around here with a 7am race start. The race this weekend is in Buffalo so I am hoping for some cold Canadian air to make it comfortable. Fingers...

Last Thursday - 14.5 miles before heading to a wedding in Massachusetts Friday - Sunday - 0 miles. Busy having fun at the wedding and letting my feet recover from dancing all night in heels. Monday - 5.5 miles w/ 5x400 with paces from 6:10-6:36/mi. Tuesday - 4.1 easy miles Today - planned 4-5...

@Mad Stitch - I was shown this technique at a running store 3 years ago and it changed my life. I have really narrow heels and never had shoes fit properly. This technique helps so much with the wear and tear on the inside of my shoes. Yesterday - 4 mile race in 30:01, ran the same course a...

6.5 mile in 56 minutes. Did a weird tempo/hill/race course preview in anticipation of my race this coming Sunday. Hit the mile 3 rolling hill section twice, that part is usually survival mode in the race before throwing down the hammer for the last mile and is tough just as mentally as it is...

Monday - 6 miles with 8x.20mi hill repeats, with paces from 6:49-7:10/mile. It was hot (85) and I wanted to get 10 repeats in but I was without water and not feeling excellent towards the end hence the pace slow down so I called it good at 8 and got 1.5 miles in for a cool down. Today - easy 4...

:hilarious: So much truth in this statement!

Thanks for sharing, can't wait to hear about the rest.
