What did you do?

[Swissmiss]

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.

Is this a sign that you are becoming human like the rest of us?

I did a very slow 13 minute mile 5 mile run today.

Gonna be honest, the threat of the Dopey being virtual, and me being pretty out of shape has not helped.

Hopefully with the NFL still being on, I can get my long runs in on Sundays watching the Titans games if the Dopey is not off.

If Dopey goes virtual I will not be motivated to do a good time.

I can understand! The current situation with almost every any(runDisney)race is the near future being either cancelled or virtual isn't helping my motivationat all.

It might ;-) What part should be the sign?

Nothing last night. Gave the knee another day. I plan on running tonight, probably short and slow, for the knee.
It should be interesting though, forecast is temps in the 90s with high humidity. Oboy!

Now that school is back in session and more and more people are back in their workplace I decided to start walking to work and running home (I’d prefer to do the opposite but they still refuse to open the showers at the office). It’s about 2.5 miles each way.

5 miles a day is great!

5 miles a day is great!

Yes it is, but i won’t be able to do it every day, because eventually I need to bring home all the clothes I leave in my office. That’s why if I had the choice I would run in and walk back.

Backpack.

Backpack.

I use one when walking, but I am not comfortable running with one.

Just do what I do: Place the clothes in a dry cleaning bag and affix them to the back of a running vest or other harness and let your work clothes flow behind you on the run home like a hero’s cape!

 

[OG Runner]

A whole 2.20 miles last night, mostly walking, after I "cruised" through the first mile in 14:05.

 

[Swissmiss]

Repeat of yesterday - walk to work and run home. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be rainy so I think I’ll take the car and bring home all my work clothes.

 

[Phonedave]

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 feel much better, thank you. Although I have not run in a long while. It is something I tell myself I need to get back into. I still work out, just not including running. I still would like to do a 50 miler one day - The Rock The Ridge 50 in the 'Gunks. Maybe with cooler weather I will be back out hitting the trails.

If you ever watch the YouTube videos by The Run Experience, they did a great one on the Sonoma 50 miler, in San Francisco.
It looks like a good one for a first.

50 Miler is on my list too, I did a 50k trail run in February and signed up for a 50-Miler for May, but was Covid-cancelled. Probably for the best, mid-May in SC is not exactly the best time to be putting in that many miles for the first time!

 

[OG Runner]

3.33 miles last night. (I love my Garmin) Still slow due to the knee. But I did it all on our newly renovated and surfaced high school track.
Didn't let the rain stop me.

 

[Texas84]

6 Muggy Miles (TM) this morning. 76F at start, probably a red flag day. Bumping up the mileage for next month's non-virtual 10K.

 

[OG Runner]

A little over 3.5 miles on Sunday. 88.92 miles for the month. I got over the 85 mile goal. Looking at 90 miles for September.
I have an appointment to get my knee looked at on Wednesday.

Ambitious - more mileage in a month with fewer days!

Walked to work again and ran home.
