What did you do?

[OG Runner]

Jealous of your temps.

Hoping your knee gets better quickly.

Thank you! The knee has definitely made the miles go by slower.

Walked last night and the knee actually feels pretty good. I am thinking I will walk, instead of run tonight also, (probably a longer distance),
and see if the knee feels even better. I still have the goal of at least 85 miles this month.

3.5ish as a family. DS did about 3/4-1 in chunks, with the rest in his jogger. Real hard to keep him going with my DW & I and not all out sprinting.

Morning temps dipping into the 60s this week. Beautiful morning run today. Days also getting shorter.

Still in maintenance mode:
Monday off, Tuesday 2.5 miles, Wednesday core, Thursday 2.5 miles, Friday core, Saturday long run, Sunday core.

MIGHT be able to run a local 10K next month. Hasn't been cancelled yet.

Did some speed work this evening.

@Texas84 My fingers are crossed for you for the upcoming race!

 

[OG Runner]

4.32 mile walk last night. The knee feels pretty good. Still a bit stiff coming up stairs. I may give it one more night before running
again. Probably another walk.

3 miles today, still sick, and it showed.

Pace was not far off - 9:55 avg (I am old and slow - if I am below 9:40 I am amazed)

but

Heart rate was off the chart. I can cruse at an average of around 165. Todays average was 177, with a high of 187. I could feel it while running too. Maybe running with this wheezing cold was not the best of ideas. I just had not been out for over a week, and was getting antsy.

I agree with everyone that has added their two cents. There are times when you need to take a break. My knee has been bothering
me lately. I had been trying to run through it, but when I ran almost 10 miles on Sunday, it did not feel good. I took off Monday,
walked on Tuesday and took off yesterday. It is feeling much better and I will run tonight. Listen to your body.

Another nice morning for the 2.5 miler.

Just got word that the local 10K is ON! Start will be staggered for distancing. Looking for a better Star Wars time.

Agreed, I took a little time off recently for a mild case of costochondritis (rib strain of sorts) and am trying get my legs back under me. Between the 90 degree days and that, my walk breaks are starting at about 40% of the distance that they were in April, but I’m sure the endurance will come back when the temps start dropping again.

Otherwise, I hope @Phonedave is feeling better since his April 2010 run in the post you quoted, haha!

I swear I have no idea how that happened. You are right though, hopefully he is feeling better by now.

And waiting on my medals. Grrrrr

The wait is so long...

Another item in the pro list for races returning. When you run a Disney race at Disney the give you your medal right when you finish.

Okay, I feel stupid. The knee was feeling pretty good, except for a few twinges going up and down stairs.
I went out for a 4 mile run after work. Now I can barely move my knee. I have tried icing and I am taking
ibuprofen, but I really made is worse.

I can’t argue with that one.

My experience when an injury “feels better” and I “think” I could go for a run? Every time I gave into that thought I’d reinjure myself. Now I force myself to rest it a week longer. I also find that more often than not, less serious pains/injuries are related to my shoes.

I appreciate the advise. Unfortunately, last night, this felt a bit more serious.

5 miles this morning, 70F and pleasant. Goal was to beat one hour on the hills and stop time was 59:59.

Hey, it wasn't 60:00. Goal met! Congratulations!!!

 

[OG Runner]

Walked a little over a 10k, 6.27 miles this morning. I think the knee is coming back and may still be able to make my mileage goal for the month.

 

[RunningKoen]

It's been months since I posted over here.

I did something!

3 miles in 27:30.
Might be one of my slowest 5K's, but it's better than I expected after all this time. It was a struggle to make the distance in one go, without stopping. Last mile had a terrible pace.
