What did you do?

[Donald Duck]

Glad you found a program you are comfortable with.



As if running 25 miles wasn't enough, now you throw thorns and mud in there as well?!?!

The more difficult, the more dangerous, the higher the DNF rate (for races), and the more painful...the better!

Ok, I'm back! (Gotta love the end of semesters, messing you up and all :hammer: )

Went for an easy interval training last night, more walking than running because we walked longer for the warm up. So, 37 minutes, 2.5 miles, and a 15:03 min/mile. Tomorrow's another 30-ish minute workout (maybe a little less running this time lol), and Saturday we're going to try to see if we can go 7 miles with our interval training.

Ran 5K this morning. Middle 2 miles were at 8:55 pace, and I definitely had more to give so I was pleased that I haven't lost all my conditioning from training for that 5K last Fall even though I haven't worked out quite as hard since then. Almost but not quite

LOL. I think you are gonna be back better than ever soon enough. I'm gonna keep pushing though - so game on! :wave: :sohappy:

:lol: See you later this year (metaphorically)

2 miles this am. Keeping to the recovery plan. Start 3 miles next week.

Why do I feel that Sam and i have had that conversation about, "you're going running. But your injured. Will it heal if you run?" No, "But you're going anyway, you are an idiot. I love you, but you're acting like an idiot"

:lol:

25 miles on the beach this morning. My legs aren't as trashed as I expected them to be. Taking tomorrow off and running hard during Saturday's 50 mile.

Run strong folks.

Stuck to my schedule (begrudgingly) and pushed thru 5 miles. Glad I did it!

 

[diddy_mouse]

A personal best for me over 5 miles today. 35:41, 7:08 /mi pace.

That's awesome, Steve! :sohappy: What a crazy-fast pace!


Question for you all...how do you combat shin splints? I don't get them too often but when I do it really makes it hard to run/walk at a decent speed. I've wondered if they were caused by my gait?

I did manage to get 2 miles in yesterday (mostly walking) at a 15min pace.

 

[Eeyore]

I set a new PR today- 5.26 miles in 42:13, 8:02 average pace. I hit my long term goal of 5K in under 25 minutes- 24:58! :sohappy:

This morning was 5.5 miles in the mid 60's with high humidity.

I did not have my watch on, but I have convinced myself that I was running at Steve's pace. :lol:

It is sticky this morning in the ham.

I call it my internal speedometer. Combination of feel from my leg output, breathing and stride... Im usually dead on. Strange talent. Too bad I cant get paid for it. :lol:

Maybe that's what I have to do to have a faster pace. :lol:

 

[Mickey&Minnie]

Me too! :lol:

I am reading all of these paces and I am way behind. That's ok tho, I remember that no matter how slow i run, I am still a runner.

Very nice. Congrats!

Thanks, I'm chuffed to bits.

I guess that's what happens when the tortoise tries to catch the hare. I'll never catch him but I had him in my sights for nearly 3 miles. :lol:

 

[Blueliner]

Maybe that's what I have to do to have a faster pace. :lol:

By the way, I am nowhere near a 7 minute pace (except in my dreams). If there was a "tongue in cheek" smilie, I would have used it.
