Drove an hour to run a 5 mile race sponsored by my son's college service organization.
My goal was to finish in 50 minutes because I have been running a slower pace lately.
Actual finish time was 46:53. Thrilled with that result - a PR for that distance.
Congrats! :sohappy:

thank you so much! Today was my first time back out since Marathon weekend, and the Disney Marathon race shirt came in handy on a cold morning!

I haven't run since the marathon either. I've been doing a lot of crossing training but no running (giving my knee a bit of a rest) but today I was itching for a run, unfortunately it's 20 degrees in NJ today so guess I won't be running today either.

Congrats on your personal best! I ran today in 35 degree weather which is REALLY tough for this Southern Belle!
But I did 3.1 miles and my pace was a 14:23. For me that is pretty good. My goal is to get under a 13:00 by the Wine and Dine.
March will mark my one year anniversary of running too!
20 degrees in NJ?? I do NOT know how you guys run in the cold all the time. My lungs just have a VERY hard time. Now 90 degrees I can do, but under 50 and my lungs protest!

I am in the same situation.
Now I have a plan.
Take the temperature in Fahrenheit, divide it by ten, and thats how many miles I run.
It looks like I will be doing around 2.7 miles tomorrow morning

I haven't been running but I've been spending at least 1/2 hour each day on my eliptical. Gotta keep my legs moving somehow.
I am not signed up for any running event in the near future but I don't want to have to start from square one once I do.

MEDICAL UPDATE: Afternoon guys. I went to the doctor and all came out clear and negative for broken bones, torn or damaged tendons and muscles.
However, it is insertional achilles tendinitis. I can run on it but I have to start off walking a lot. That is cool with me. They ordered me rehab for 2 weeks and the doctor wants to see me back in 2 weeks to clear me before my race on the 13th.
Fingers crossed that I can get back in the swing of things this week and make my goal of a full.

Great news or as good news as you can get right now.
The hardest thing now will be to listen to the doctor's advice. Take it easy-that marathon will here before you know it.

Great news!
I am thinking I need to get to a doctor as well. Lots of pain up the inside of my left foot when running (pain kicks in after about 2-3 miles).

Fingers crossed for you, might be the best diagnosis you could have received.
I did 7.5 miles at 10:05 pace. Worked some monstrously long hours this weekend at work, spending about 22 hours on my feet, so I did not run yesterday evening. My legs were still tired today, but I am good with this run. I do think my half-marathon goal (my first) is
A: Finish
A point 5: Finish in under 11:00 min per mile. Might be too aggressive, but that is my goal at least.

Welcome back, Joel!
I know it will be hard for a greyhound to run like a pack mule, but at least you are back on the track and can still compete in your marathon race.
Best of luck!

That is an impressive goal - best of luck! Get in some long distance workouts so that you can keep that overall pace where you want it. :wave:

I'm glad it's not just me. I have been enjoying the freedom of not "having to" run...but I feel like I might be enjoying it too much! I *might* have totaled .5 mile of jogging during a 2-mile walk last week, but that has been the full extent of my exercise since the race. I'm starting to feel guilty about being such a slug!
PS: Joel, glad to hear the marathon might still be on the table for you. I know how much work you've put into this.
