Did you run today?

Can't seem to find the time, nor motivation to make time... did a few evening walks last week, and one trip to the y for the elliptical. Wanting to br better... so made myself run 1.5 miles then walk another mile on the treadmill while we were there for swim lessons this am. I must be better! Not having the program to follow, the "have" to run pushing me... I've allowed some serious slacking!0

Well i ran/walked 5k in 37minutes. Probably against my PT, now my knee hurts a little.0
-
I have now set myself a challenge of running a race every month until the end of the year, including another half in September! Trying to get my motivation back0
-
I have the motivation, but my body, specifically the IT Band is not cooperating. Have upgraded to a GRID foam roller and man does it dig in LOL. Put the Physio on hold, at $70 a visit, 2 times a week is burning a hole in the pocket.

I ran in my national park yesterday- 5k in 31:15. It was hot and muggy. I really need to make myself get up and run before work!0

@Firestorm1972 I hope things get better, how frustrating!
@Just-Ceci I'm not looking forward to hot or muggy. Lol. I'll JUMP off the wagon at that point. Or work out exclusively indoors!
@GreatCthulhu that's a great goal! My older kids both want to keep up over the summer, with their fitness... so in suggested a 5k each month June July and August, hoping to keep them motivated... preseason last year was tough! Running them might not be in the cards for me, but I can try! And walk later on if need be.
June 20th, will be our first. A local 5k we did last year. It's mostly flat, so I hope to be able to run the entire thing. Did 3.24 in 37:29 last night, my hilly route... i wasnt sure id be able to do it at all. Turns out i was ok; I had to walk twice. Once on the biggest hill, for a bit, then once on the way back... but that second "pain" quickly disclosed itself as gas and I was able to get right back in stride. Slow, and very mindful of my belly... but I did it! I don't think I've run over 2 miles since the half. So that was great for me!0 -
5k...well ran about 2k until my knee gave out...walked 3k to home 8(. This is getting frustrating and am slowly loosing motivation to run, I think next step is a visit to the Dr for xrays or MRI on my knee. I've been foam rolling, strengthening and visits to the Physiotherapist and still same intense pain.0
-
@FireStorm1972 Definitely see a Dr!
I ran Wednesday night at the national park. It was miserable, my slowest time for that route since I started using Strava.
On a more positive note, I PR'd my 10k this morning, despite the heat- 1:00:10.7, 2nd in my age group. I'm sure if it hadn't been so hot, I'd have broken the hour mark!0 -
@FireStorm1972 I'm so sorry this continues to be a problem for you. How frustrating! I hope the Dr can offer some insight!
I've done little running, but have done some walking and I've been using the elliptical at the y 2 or 3 days a week. Trying to keep active, but can't seem to motivate to actually run! We are supposed to do a 5k next weekend. Better lace up my sneakers this week if I have any hope of running it! Otherwise I'll just walk it...0 -
After some intense foam rolling today on my left leg. Found a nasty knot in my TFL and Peroneus Longus (Lets just say outer part of calf muscle LOL) I decided to try and run and BAM!!!!. 5K in 29:20...and not a F'n twitch in my knee area....I'M BACK B!TCHES ...sorry that in no means meant to be insulting to anyone...just a little ecstatic with my results.Now for a slower transistion back into running after almost a month off of next to no running or walking.0

Wow! Crazy that that was hiding there so long! ! So glad to hear you've worked it out and can get back to it!0

Well we'll see what happens. I will keep foam rolling to take out any knots, it literally almost brought me to tears working some of the knots out. Next 5k run will be Tuesday evening. We'll see how that goes.0 -
No running today. 5K planned tomorrow after work. Hopefully no pain in knee.0
-
5K outdoor run today. Just under 30minutes, NO PAIN. but my cardio is way off LOL. I guess being off for almost a month will do that to yyour cardio.I'm just happy to be running again 8)0

Ok, I've been lurking periodically but not posting since I have been laid off of running due to shoulder injury. Thought I'd say hi to everyone!
@FireStorm1972, glad you are doing better. I completely relate on the difficulty and happiness after being sidelined!
@poke987, I admire you for just walking and elliptical; I was exhausted and worthless while expecting.
@Just_Ceci, you are inspiring. Congrats on the PR!
I officially started back running Monday (I had one cheat walk/run with my sis while she was visiting). I was shocked that I actually ran in the same time I had done the same 5K loop before my injury. Definitely had to push though, particularly in the ridiculous heat and humidity! Signed up for a 5k this Saturday, and plan to get another run in tonight, although I may only do a couple miles due to the weather. I am on the fence about the half I had planned to do on September 12. Going to be super hot and humid, and the 4 weeks of no running put a crimp in my training. Trying a 10k in 3 weeks in Florida; if I can survive that, I may try for the half after all.
Oh, has anyone done/planning to do a Rock N Roll half? If I reschedule, there is one in Savannah that I might do instead.

I plan on a half in September hopefully.0
-
I usually run Wednesdays but holding back to try and ease back into running. Run tomorrow 5-10k hopefully0
-
I went to my national park yesterday after work for a Brick (Bike to Run). After a good 10 mile ride, I ran 2 miles. I'm wondering if this is ever going to get easier!0
-
ran 5k. Decided to try and do a little speed work and finished 29:09. Knee is fine, can feel the legs though, have to get them use to running again LOL. But this is GOOD pain LOL0
-
10.06K in 62:19. Pain free in the knee area
Lets see if the DOMS kicks in later LOL 0 -
Did our local father's day 5k with my dad this evening. He (and my 13yr old bonus son) wooped my *kitten*. But, my goal was only to finish having run the whole thing.
27 weeks pregnant
5k in 32:02
Next goal is another 5k July 11th. Goal there will also be only to run and finish... we shall see!0 -
@Firestorm1972 I'm so glad you seem to be over the hump! I'm sure your fitness will pick back up quickly and you'll be back in no time!! 10k is fantastic! !
@Just-Ceci your park sounds like such a fantastic place! Wish we had something local with good trails! Are they dirt or paved?
@hoyalawya2003 how did your 5k go? I'm sure it feels good to be back at it! I'd never make it in a hotter more humid climate! I'm such a wimp when it comes to the sticky heat! I'm impressed with you!!0 -
@FireStorm1972 way to go on the 10k!
@poke987 your 5k time sounds awesome to me! I'm still a slowpoke.
The 5k was ok--I wish it had started earlier because it felt like trying to breathe through a wet blanket. And the course was hill after hill after hill... I was slower than my last 5k (which was in January!) but a minute a mile faster than I am now running on average, so not going to complain. I just need to log a lot more miles. Ran 3.5 mi at 5:30 this morning; still humid but a lot more comfortable than Saturday!
I've decided to mostly stick with the training plan I was doing but scale up the weekday runs more slowly (by adding a couple extra weeks). I'm supposed to be doing 4.5 mi this week, but going to just do 3.5 instead and run/walk the long run of 7. Hopefully that will avoid the too much/too soon problem.0 -
@Just-Ceci your park sounds like such a fantastic place! Wish we had something local with good trails! Are they dirt or paved?
There is a 7 mile loop that is paved, as well as several miles of dirt trails. I run and ride on the paved loop. I haven't been brave enough to venture out onto the dirt trails, as I believe them to be very steep!0 -
I woke up an hour and a half before my alarm this morning, so I got up and went to the park for a run. Even at 6 AM it was already hot and muggy, but I managed 5.5 miles in just under 57 minutes, 261 feet of elevation change.0

Ran 4.83K 26:49 8-)

Hot and muggy here too. Got my 3.5 in. Not sure when I will work in the 7 mile run on the schedule for this week as we leave for vacation early Friday morning.0

I did a run/ bike/ run in the gym yesterday to avoid heat stroke.
2 mi run- 19:22
10 mi ride- 34:55
2 mi run- 20:050 -
I did 3.43 in 40:16 on monday evening. Ran mostly, but walked up the hills on a local route. Then both my little boys got a bug. I've been housebound since. Did put up 165 bales of hay this afternoon. I figure that counts as cross training. Must find time, but with the hot weather and sick kiddos it's been easy to skip!0
