What did you do?

3/4 of a mile before I gave in to knee pain. Haven't recovered from the marathon yet. Btw, this post marathon depression is for real

Seriously, take a few weeks off. You earned it.

I'm not like suicidal or anything, just sucks to be laid up with a bum knee. I also do miss my training group, but I'll see them next year, so I do have something to look forward to

Temps in the 40s, had to break out the long sleeves and light running gloves.

Going to visit my hometown in Texas next week. It's going to be warmer but a lot flatter. Looking forward to a level 16-miler.

Same temps here - I wore tights, long sleeves, and a light jacket yesterday morning. But I loved the cool air, and I actually did 7 miles which is the furthest I've gone since my dx. I just couldn't resist. Kept the pace nice and slow so as not to strain the joints too much. But it was great.

Yeah, it is. Try to focus on your accomplishment and look for a new goal. Hope you feel better.

I know how you feel. I did Dopey after months of training then flew to Anaheim and did all three Star Wars runs. Then went home and thought, it's over, now what?

4 miles on TM last night. A bit stiff but ok.

Kudos to you for squeezing in these short runs whenever you can. That takes as much dedication as following a training plan.

Waiting for a connection in Houston and killing time. Started the Higdon Dopey 4-7-4 series this week but there's a big storm headed for Texas. Hope I can get my 6-16 in this weekend.

Thanks. Only problem is, it kills training for Jan. So Dopey is gonna be what it's gonna be.

4 miles outdoors yesterday afternoon. Gorgeous weather. Leaves changing colors.

 

[Texas84]

Finished my 4-7-4 with a 4-miler in south Texas this morning. Temp 81, humidity 450%. Couldn't breathe. Supposed to be cooler this weekend, highs in the 70s. Got to go buy a foam roller. Too big for my suitcase.

3 miles tonight, 5 yesterday. I'm better equipped for night running this fall, I have a reflective vest and knuckle lights, but I still don't like it. I find it difficult to keep pace when I can't see my watch and even with the lights I'm often watching for obstacles in my path.

 

[marissieviolissie]

6,2 k last night.
Two days before that 5,1.

I'm not going to run more and more for now. I just needed to know I can do the 5k.
So the next few runs will remain around 5k. My DisneyRun is just 2 weeks away and

Bike today.

Ehh, good practice for pacing by feel? It's definitely a different experience, doesn't click for everyone.

Where in Texas are you? As I mentioned, my sister moved to Austin this year, and my mom is there visiting her now, and they said terrible rain and possible flooding is expected this weekend as a result of the hurricane heading towards Mexico.

I recently bought my son a foam roller for cross-country. He asks me to use it on him all the time, and I've discovered that those few minutes make a perfect opportunity for me to teach him a few SAT vocab words! He's a captive audience because he likes the feel of the roller on his muscles so much. LOL

Visiting family in Harlingen. Got some waves of rain coming through but nothing extreme. Saturday is supposed to be bad and I have a 6-miler scheduled. Might not happen. But Sunday looks good right now. Austin up to Dallas looks really bad. Flights are being cancelled.

I don't think it's not being able to pace by feel. I have no problems doing it during the day and only check my watch about once per mile just to be sure I'm not fooling myself. It's more to do with the reduced visibility at night which causes me to run slower.

Was able to get in my 6-miler this morning in a light rain. My first ever tropical storm run, I think. Heavy stuff is coming in tonight but tomorrow is still looking good.
