Hi, my name is Petra (pronounced Paytra) and I've been running for 2 years now. I'm not fast and won't be running any marathons but I enjoy running.
I usually get in 3 runs a week, 5K each with some extra walking before and after as a warm-up & cool-down.

Today I ran on the treadmill. I did 7K in 64 minutes. Today's run was a slightly slower and longer run than usual; just to mix things up. I walked another 1.43K in 16 minutes of warm-up & cool-down.

    Nice! Maybe we can revive this group? Hearing of other runs is inspiring and informative.

    LOL! I like your avatar!
  • I still run, but I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis and an achilles problem. I go back and forth between thinking running hurts and running helps.

    Sorry to hear that, timetravel! Take extra care.

    Today I went for my last run of the year and ran the hilly route around the neighbourhood. Ran 7K in 58:20. It's sunny, crisp and cold out there. A nice day for a run.
