What did you do?

Got a few more miles in on Sunday.

 

[OG Runner]

Couldn't get out at 6am and had to go just before lunch at 11am. Not good. 87, sunny, and bonkers humidity. Oh, did my speed suffer. I haven't run this slow in over a month, according to both RunKeeper and FitBit. Given the choice between heat stroke and slow time, I chose the latter.

Glad you didn't choose heat stroke. We like hearing from you.

I ran 3.7 miles last night. I was going along pretty well but ended up with a really bad cramp in my left calf.
I couldn't loosen it up and walked most of the last mile.

I'm still here - it's too hot to run outside and my apartment's gym is STILL closed. Looking at joining a gym nearby just so I can run indoors. Been doing 30 minute bootcamp workouts on my lunch break to keep moving

I've done that, though usually with a lower back or oblique muscle. I'll turn a little too sharply or bend in a slightly weird way, and there it goes. Frustrating.

Tried to run last night. Went about a third of a mile and it tightened right up. I even put some icy/hot on before the run.
Going to try again today.

I've been training for my Space Mountain virtual run on 7/5! Today was an easy 3....and its now the best time of year --I probably spent near 4 hours in the ocean.

How'd it go? Other than the icy/hot, the other strategies I've tried are wearing compression gear and drinking water 30 minutes before running.

4 miles this morning. I only meant to do 3, but was trying to keep to more shady streets and before I knew it I had already done three but wasn’t near home

I ran about 4.30 each of the last three days. I tried to take it easy and used BioFreeze before each run and each night.
Yesterday morning run, actually felt like a run. I wasn't stiff and in pain most of the way.

 

[Swissmiss]

5k this evening. I was ok while running but boy did it feel hot when I stopped!

 

[OG Runner]

Can't really call last night a run. I did run about a mile & a half to meet up at the high school and then walked two miles.

 

[Swissmiss]

Took advantage of the last day of pleasant weather and did another 5K run this evening.

According to RunKeeper, I had my fastest 2-4 mile run this morning out of 630 miles of tracked runs! I don't know how many of the 217 runs were in the 2-4 mile range, but quite a few. I do have a bunch of 1 mile runs in there, as well, because it's 1 mile to our local park where I play football with a bunch of guys, and I track the runs to/from the games.

I ran 4.24 miles last night. I have now run each day in July. (though only .30 miles on July 1st due to my calf injury)
Averaging a little over 4 miles a day.

It's cool that you can run everyday. Some of my friends are able to run daily, but not me. My muscles typically need another day to recover.

 

[OG Runner]

I was actually mentioning it because it is unusual for me also. I did not run last night, as there were heavy thunderstorms rolling through my area when I was going to go out. I do plan on running tonight, but it is expected to be in the low 90s and humid.

 

[OG Runner]

Ran 3.70 miles last night. It felt like a furnace. You know one of those runs where you are hoping to just find a little shade somewhere.
I actually walked a bit of the 3rd mile hills.

I've only run once in the last 2 weeks. My ankle started acting up out of the blue and I could barely walk on it for a few days. I don't recall injuring it, but I have a long history with that ankle - two sprains in the 1990s and surgery in 2003. It's been improving a lot so I've been trying to stay off it a little longer and hopefully whatever it was will go away as quickly as it came. I might try a short run on the TM later.
