I feel better. Mine was a 9:16 pace :lol: Im not such an old man after all.
How did the run go?
You cant unless I did a weird zigzag route and kept the sun on my side. I like knowing someone else that knows my routes and can visualize them.
It will. Stay mentally strong. You can do it!I know, I really feel like I just need to get through one complete workout and it will really help me a lot. Oy

My 8 mile run went well. My tranining plan called for a 9:56 pace, and I ended up at a pace of 9:32, with no real variation other than a slight kick in the last half-mile. Of course, I still am cowering from the heat and running a lot indoors. I have a 2-3 mile recovery run, a 6 mile tempo run, and another 2-3 mile recovery run on my plate for the rest of the week, and I am planning to try to do the recovery runs outside.
I would love to have seen the zig-zag route.

BTW, I know you might can imagine the obstacles I encounter on 3rd Avenue with all the apartments and warehouses. Yes, I think I might feel better if I go get a can of mace and keep in my running pack. I know it sounds crazy, but that 1 miles that I have to run on that stretch to get to Avondale and then highlands can be interesting. I have been accompanied by a pack of stray dogs, cursed at by mentally unstable people and almost run over by some thugs. I would avoid that mile all together, but it is the only flat area before all the hills and I will risk it for the break. :lol: It gets a bit safer when you get to Pepper Place on 3rd.
Good luck.Thanks!
Last night was a 30 minute run. I think I covered about 3.5 miles. I didnt care about the distance since I was very sore from Sunday AM.

After a mental block for the past couple of weeks, I finally finished a run! :sohappy: I think I freaked myself out over the heat to the point where if I thought I was beginning to feel crappy, I'd stop. It was hard to break out of that but I finally did today with a LONG tempo run - 1 mile warm-up, 2 miles at tempo pace, 1 mile easy, 1 mile at tempo pace, 1 mile easy, 2 miles at tempo pace, and 1 mile cool down I slowed my pace down by about a minute to compensate for the weather (sunny and low 80s), and I really ran out of gas during the last 2 mile run. So it wasn't fast, and it wasn't pretty, but I feel so much better to have just completed a workout! :sohappy:
I have to say, it's so nice to have this thread to vent frustrations and share triumphs

Feet are uncomfortable, blister on big toe, my rear hurts.
Quick annual 5k race on Sunday morning.
Cheers.

Yes, I suppose so! Nice pace by the way
Just repeat my mantra on every run:
"there is no pain, there is no pain, there is no pain, tonga toast, there is no pain..."

Thanks. Redemption from the 34.5 and 35 minute 4 mile times of last week.
My mantra: "No pain... No pain. You quit now, you quit in the race. You are a machine!"

Tonga Toast is lucky I'm not at the Poly today.

Very nice. :wave:
Great job on the run. Always good to have a little cooler air and always nice to have cloud cover.

I like this quote. I may have to use this
Did 6.07 miles this morning. I figured with expected highs of 101* today that a night run wouldn't be very cool.

Good job! It is just too darn hot here..I do not get a chance to ride early in the morning..gotta watch the toddler..but mom-in-law will be moving in next weekend (no, it will be a GOOD thing!). Then, will really be able to ride much more early! Right now, just the P.O.S. (piece of shineola) on the trainer in the garage, and it is hot there even with the door open, but no sun beating down on me!

Please do. I would love for it to help out.
I just say it to myself when I get tired and my mind try to make my body quit. As General Patton would say, Make the mind run the body. The mind wont quit on the body, but the body would quit on the mind (paraphrased)
