March 2015 Running Challenge

3.0 miles just for the OCD running bunch. I figure at least it'll add mileage for me and help me push just a little bit more when I think I'm "done".
I was almost creamed by a speeding 6 year old and his racing buddy. I was sure tomorrows headlines would read " 6 year old paralysis runner in head on, urine everywhere".
I over did it Sunday cutting and hauling trees out of the ravine for 5.5 hours. I've been living on muscle relaxers and OTC pain killers since, (dumped the Rx ones, my teens think they are Pez). As i ran i was mulling over possibilities of the ever looming back surgery. For a second, I thought my decision was going to be made for me. I did have to stop to avoid him running into me.... Maybe he's the next Meb.. So I let it roll.

Magnificent running tally0 -
@cooter_mom right there with you! I used to be convinced that I wasn't capable of running outside because it was so much harder. Now I LOVE to run outside and can't imagine going back! And ran outside all winter, although winters are pretty mild here! We have a exercise bike that I try to use on my off days from running, but it is S.O.B.O.R.I.N.G.0

I come from the mild mannered Midwest but I definitely bang on car hoods as needed. Just a few weeks ago some lady turning right on red rolled right through the crosswalk I was in. I was yelling and waving my arms so she'd notice me before it was too late, and d*mned if she didn't pull over to the side of the road, giving me the finger and screaming expletives. Sigh. I just kept running.
On a brighter note, I ran/hiked in a wilderness area/national forest today. This desert stuff is just blowing my mind. Came face to face with a Gila Monster cruising down the trail. That was pretty unforgettable.
So that's 11ish miles for me (GPS wasn't working so I used an old school device... I think they're called "maps?") but I can't find my mileage on this thread anyway and I think I forgot to post the run I did with my brother, so I'm somewhere in the mid 70s for now0 -

March 13 - 2 miles (night before first 5k race)
March 14 - 3.1 miles (5k) I feel great about most of my first race! I ran my fastest mile time so far (8:56 mpm) and was on track to *maybe* place but ended up with a side stitch right in the middle that slowed me way down for about 1/2 mile (I need to fine tune what I should eat on race mornings) so my finish time was right at 30 minutes. I *think* this is a decent time for a first 5k race??
March 15 - 4 miles

Had to run late again today and since I can't really eat before I run it was not great. It was hot, my legs were tired and I had no energy since I hadn't really eaten. Need to give myself a cutoff - if I can't get out for a run by xx:xx then I must eat! Today was focus on legs day with my trainer so they are even more tired. Actually looking forward to my rest day tomorrow!
@RunTimer - what exactly is an original westcoast transplant? I was transplanted from Idaho to California but my family is originally from CA for multiple generations... does that make me one too :laugh:
@SBRRepeat - *GASP* a map? does anyone really know what that is?? And you saw a gila monster on your trail, Wow - I am not sure what I would do with that or more importantly what the dog would do! I did see a big raccoon today but that is pretty ordinary to a gila monster!
@cooter_mom - um... sorry we ruined the treadmill for you, but not really enjoy your spring and summer running and stock up on winter run gear now while it is on sale! You know you're going to need it.
@Elise4270 - when is the back surgery scheduled and how long will you be rehabbing? Yay - to the next Meb, did he win his race with his buddy?0 -

@cooter_mom welcome to the wide world of outdoor running! You don't NEED that much winter gear but there is so much cool stuff you GET to buy! My running and biking wardrobe is now bigger than my real wardrobe
@shanaber I had never seen a Gila Monster outside of the zoo. I literally turned a sharp corner and, bam, massive lizard staring at me from about three foot away.
Didn't have my camera out at the time but I managed to snap a picture of him as he lumbered into the bushes.

@SBRRepeat - WOW! I am pretty sure I would have screamed or something worse! He is HUGE and pretty cool looking!0

@ddmom0811 - I don't know who Linda Johnson is either but I completely agree with her quote!0

Um no. Nnnnno. I'd rather have angry runners slam the hood of my car and flick me off than run into this dude. Holy cow.0
