What did you do?

[scorp111]

Whoops! Sorry guys. I meant 18 miles. I had my 2.5 year old sitting in my lap while posting and I guess she saw the 2:2 in my time and blurted out 22 and I typed that.

I meant 18 miles in 2:27:00. Scorp, lord, when I saw your "Under 7 minutes..." I doubled checked everything.

See above. What a BAD BAD BAD typo!

Well I am still impressed And I knew you were always quick, but 8 and change is different than sub seven for sure

Thank You... and yes, it is a Universe of difference.

4.25 @ 9:20 pace....

I did a 5K split in 27:20 and the first mile in 8:20

Indoors on a treadmill...Dark when I got home, and in 35 degree rain, I wasn't going outside tonight.

I also recieved my first real "running" shorts from Sports Authority in the post, now just to buy the 305

Another outdoor run navigating snow drifts and ice slicks yesterday. It's killing my knees to run like that. But at least I got outdoors again as another nor'easter is heading our way with 8-20" of snow anticipated! Enough with the snow already! It's only January. Sigh.

I did 5 miles today in slush, snow and ice. I followed the tire marks in the road so it was a little compacted. It was not fun and my ankles hurt pretty bad.

I wish this snow would melt and go away. I have 9 tomorrow.

4 miles @ 8:56 pace......

Nice to at least be outside again, even if it was , gray, only 39 and a bit of wind.

10.10 miles on Tuesday

10.25 miles yesterday after shoveling snow for 2 hours.

Slowly getting back into my routine after the marathon.

 

[joel_maxwell]

9 miles last night with about a 8:15 pace. I have this nasty pain in my left outside lower ankle. It doesnt feel like it is my ankle, but more on the outside of my hell. I am being patient since it has only been 24 hours, but im starting to get a little antsy about it. Lord, I hope it isnt anything major.

It might be a casualty of running in the snow Tuesday. :brick:

Snowshoes, Joel, snowshoes. I don't mind running through the snow and slush, but when there's a chunk of snow that looks like a puffy cotton-ball that I can just demolish when I step on it, and it turns out to be a rock solid ice chunk, that's not pretty.

10.30 miles this morning.

Cheers.

I actually ran in a single track where vehicles had made the snow/ice almost disappear, but I still ran a lot on snow and I think I might have pulled something or strained something. The location is weird on my foot. Im about to google me some foot muscle diagrams.

 

[joel_maxwell]

I think I might have diagnosed my problem from a PT friend. Achilles tendinitis. Yea. Nothing I cant work through. I've had it before, other foot.

5 miles tonight. 7:24 pace

 

[scorp111]

Treadmill again tonight for me, and short, only 3.75 miles.

Did the first mile in 7:45, the 2nd in 8:05, and 5K in 25:37, so I was happy with that at least, 8:39 pace overall.

12 miles is the plan for Saturday. 2 weeks until I do my first sub 30:00 5k *fingers crossed* and 3 weeks until my first half.

Resting for the week after running my first Goofy this past weekend.

For the week?!?! I would be going out of my mind! Granted, I took a couple days off while I was down for marathon weekend, but I was ok because we were walking around Epcot and MK alot.

Congratulations on the Goofy though! I'll be doing that in 2012...sauntering around MK with 3 medals jangling.

I always think im going to take the week off and then about Wednesday, Im antsy to get back on the pavement. :lol:

I'll be back out this weekend. The top of my right foot still hurts. It has hurt since the marathon. At the rate it is getting better I am saying a bad bruise as opposed to a stress fracture.

I'll keep it light - maybe 6 miles or so.

Signed up for a 5K on Feb 12.

4 points completed (WDW Marathon)
1 point scheduled (Cupid's Chase National 5K)

Hey, that is awesome, Dave! You are off to a great start. Is there a link to join for 2011? All the links I have found reference the 2010 year, but also an end of January enrollment deadline. Maybe it isn't too late to get in on this if a person can find a current application. Thanks!

One of the very few runs I did not finish and literally had to hobble home from was when I pulled my achilles tendon. After that injury I added a few stretches just for that location to my very short warmup routine, and I've never had a problem since then. Hope you feel better quick!
