@runtimer - my husband's shoes do the same in the same spot and he only walks in them! I was thinking of putting a bit of moleskin over his toenails to see if that might help. Or maybe duct tape inside for an added layer of strength :laugh:
@briebee7 - love that you can run your daughter to summer camp!
@HonuNui - Awesome picture! I do love those sea turtles!0 -
6/3 - 3 miles
6/5 - 3 miles
6/6 - .75 mi.
6/7 - 2.55 mi
6/8 - .5 mi
6/13 - 3.1 Run and Ride 5k
6/15 - 1mi before my strength session with my trainer. Not the best idea since she wanted to focus on legs and core this week LOL.
6/17 - 2.0 mi
6/17 - 2.4 mi
Total 18.3 11.7 to go
If you do 2 runs in a day do you get the same benefit as 1 long run? Translation : Did I really do an almost 4.5 mi run?

@WhatMeRunning rested for 2 days. some short easy miles in between and Saturday i ran 10 miles and it felt great. hope it stays that way :-). i however do feel some shin pain that i know i need to sort out. icing?

at where i am now, fasting month has started. This will be my first time trying out running and fasting. The plan is to fast whole day , at sunset - break the fast , eat something light. after 10pm meet-up with my running buddies n run. Anyone have experience with running and fasting?

@stoshew71 Yeah I suck. I don't know why it's so hard for me to get there. I did get up at 4:15 and just couldn't manage to make it out the door. I have no good excuses just lazy butt, especially since I'm working from home today. Made my butt even more lazy.
@torituma4 my boyfriend is in Abu Dhabi and he's not a fan of the fasting. I don't know about all day fasting but I run fasted every morning. For the most part I also run 5K and 10K fasted. For me the biggest thing is hydration. I think your plan is the way to go.

Does anyone here live in El Paso? I need to go there the 1st full week of July for business and was wondering if anyone lived there. I asked my boss if I'm safe running through town, he told me to run on Post. I made sure I got a hotel with fitness center in case I need to run on the dreadmill. I've been there once before but only for a long weekend.0

I don't live there. But from what I have heard its probably not safe. Might see if you can find a running group on the internet and ask.

I also usually run fasted (minus coffee - must have coffee). But then I started drinking a glass of milk before I run because I now fear of muscle breakdown while sleeping compounded by running and burning another 1000 calories. I also have done some reading lately on the effects of BCAA's (branched chained amino acids) in preventing muscle breakdown while exercising. Studies have been done on BCAA's prevents muscle breakdown while exercising in a fasted state and prevents insulin spikes (so it preserves your fasted state). So I may try this.0 -
Ran 3.4 km this morning to try and recover from whatever had me down and out for all of the day the day before. Up to 43/70km.0

El paso is right across the border from Juarez (Mexico). if you remember from news reports that Juarez had high gang activity and were known sometimes to come into the US border. I been to El Paso many times on business but before my running days. But from what i remember, I would probably run on base as well. But if you can find and run with a group, that would be wise too.0 -
@stoshew71 and @elise4270 I know when I was there before I was shocked at all the bars on houses and fenced in yards. Allen was stationed there and he thought it was funny as hell that I wanted to run alone. He said if I do drive to his old neighborhood and I'd be safe there. I will check out running groups. I know a couple of the guys still PT every morning so I'll talk to them too. Last time I was there I was like damn I'm the only blonde in town LOL I just can't wait to go to Taco Cabana
@elise4270 how are you feeling after your injection.
@jorocka you go girl!!!

@Stoshew71 I looked in to BCAA's too. I took supplements for a while. There is on AA that can cause a bit of itching in some people, I'm one of those people. But it wasn't horrible.
I use monster amino when I get around to ordering it. It's really awesome stuff. You can push harder and recover faster. I use muscle milk mostly now because it can be found in the local store.0 -
12.4/31 slower running speed but longer continuous time running. Im proud
