What did you do?

[LAKid53]

Today was three miles, although much slower because of the 90'+ heat.
also did wieght training.

They can turn the heat off down here in the South... I won't complain.

It's been raining since yesterday...I just got a voice alert that heavy rain is coming soon. And it's supposed to rain pretty much all day, every day, until this Wednesday.

I know we need rain, but, geez, not an entire season's in 4 days....

Guess it's the TM for my 6.5 today. Don't mind running in rain, but downpours, nada. And rain this time of year in Florida means thunderstorms. Definitely, nada...

Welcome back @Greenlawler !

11 Muggy Miles (tm) this morning. Yuck, wanted to quit at 8. And the ammonia smell is back! Haven't had that happen for quite a while.

Still a bit faster pace than last week's 10-mile Sauna Run. The weekday 3-milers were actually very nice. Low 60s and low humidity. Fall-like. But summer is back. 20 miles total for the week.

Morning 9.5 miles along the Mystic river and lakes. Cool but humid.

I got my legs for the Ragnar reach the beach. First leg is short downhill 3 miles. Second is a grueling 9.5 miles with lots of elevation change. And the last is 4.5 miles and not too bad. Guess I need to practice hills.

5 miles in temperatures which are finally no longer hot!

 

[LAKid53]

5 miles on the TM today. I know, it was supposed to be 6.5. But I just didn't have it in me to do those last 1.5 miles, no matter how much I pushed. Sometimes you just gotta listen to your body.....

 

[Greenlawler]

Did 8 today.....longest run since February.

Didn't do well, but finished. Next week 10 miles.

 

[BrianV]

Should have taken Sunday off but ran just a short 3 because it was so nice out. Now sore in my ankles, hips and knees. Should have followed my plan. Now I guess I'll be taking a few days off. But it's not too bad!

 

[JillC LI]

Planned to to 7 on Sunday. Did 8.

Nice. I define "doing well" by finishing pain free!

 

[RunningKoen]

Skipped another planned run and did weight training. Will run tomorrow and cant delay it anymore otherwise I cant increase my week total.

5 miles done last week, zero this one. Big hooray for my training schedule #not.

 

[Greenlawler]

Well after the debacle of my eight mile run, I decided to see what this old horse could do on a three mile jaunt yesterday.....

I ran 8.5 minute miles, which liked to have killed me. While I was pleased I could still knock that out, I realized how far I have fallen off the wagon. Heck four years ago I ran a marathon at that pace.

But it's time to move on, last I'll gripe for a while.

 

[RunningKoen]

Maybe because my gym wasnt playing their usual gym music but some weird playlist with Tina Turner's Disco Inferno and even You'll be in my heart. Nothing can stop me when Disney comes on. So smashed my weight training, broke my benchpress PR's and the other stuff went great.

And I even went out for a run. A planned 3 mile run turned out to be a 6.2 mile run in 47:00 flat. What a day. From zero to hero.
Note: the weight training wasnt planned and neither were the extra 3.2 mile. Why do I even bother to make a plan?

 

[LAKid53]

3 miles outdoors "swimming" through the humidity at dusk. Cooler after all the storms passed through, though. By cooler, I mean 78, not 88....

Yoga tomorrow!

 

[dreamfinder]

Sun was ~9 outside, 6.25 with DW and DS in jogger, then ~2.8 running back home after that run. Mon was 14 bike, yesterday was 3.1@2i@8, today was 2.55@2i@7:56.

You pushed your wife in the jogger? That's how I'd love to run, someone pushing me in a jogger - I'm sure my Fitbit could track the miles...

 

[LAKid53]

So instead of going to Yoga - okay, I'll fess up, I overslept - I remember I got a PiYo dvd.. So I went through the first two sets (upper and lower) after the 40 minutes of basic yoga positions. It was a workout - there are little drops of me all over my area rug. This woman loves planks.... I hate planks.

I picked up some good routines for runners.

 

[BrianV]

Had to get kids to camp and then needed to do my long run. 9 miles starting at 9:30. Thankfully it is relatively cool for August, but it was still hot. And I changed up my route to include more hills cause I need the training.

 

[JillC LI]

4.5 last night. Uncomfortably hot and humid.

 

[Greenlawler]

For whatever reason I woke up bright eyed at 4:00 a.m. after going to sleep well past midnight.

So I went to the gym for the 5:30 class, lots of arm work.

The rest of the day I was a zombie....I did run three but I did not bother to time it.

2.5@2i@8.

Heh, I've had people ask me how much for a ride during races. I mean it's like an Uber, kid has snacks, water, toys, what's not to like?
