MFP August 2015 Running Challenge:
I did 1 mile on treadmill yesterday, and a 3 mile dam run this morning giving me 4 more miles. Cruising towards my goal
Goal : 45 miles
Completed: 29.5
>>>>>>>>> 15.5 to go <<<<<<<<0 -
It's going to be a hot one today, so I got up at 5-flippin'-30 to run this morning. It was already 73F when I got the parking lot for the paved trail I wanted to run. I ended up with 10 miles this morning! My first double digit run. The temp was already 80F when I was finished. The upper quads are a bit sore but hopefully that won't persist. Its a very comforting feeling to look at my MFP diary and see that I have 3700 calories to consume today. I'm starting to pare that down by "rehydrating" with a fresh hefeweizen from a local brewery.
Today: 10 mile run
Progress: 44 of 100 miles
With August ending on a Sunday, I still think I can make my goal.0 -

I'm still waiting to be back to full health. Resting HR today was 18 beats high. I felt good though so headed out to do some domestic challenges at the area grocery stores but wound up drained after 2 hours. So time for more rest..

I have been away with my trip to Houston and I have missed so much here! The trip was filled with work commitments, no working out or running The hotel gym was nasty so even if I had the time and energy to run on the treadmill I had even less incentive.
Friday I had a great shake out run and today intended to go long but it was SO hot when I started early, early and just got hotter. I finally realize I just don't do well in the heat and it makes me feel so sick. I stuck it out for 7 of the 10 planned. We have more record setting hot expected here for a few days and then it should be back down into the more moderate high 80s. Sunday is a dog beach day so may get a couple of miles in there. At least it should be cool!
@CancerSurvivor2014 - love the pictures of the kids and dogs!
@ShortMrsN - Welcome back! It is good to see you back here again! Just take it really slow and easy...
@WhatMeRunning - I hope you are feeling better after taking a few days off!
@kristinegift - I have never run with a group. Thinking I should try it sometime but I worry I will be too slow! I do have a group of friends who meet and run along the beach cliffs on Sundays but I would have to get up a 4:30 to get there in time and I am not sure I am willing to do that on a Sunday
@7lenny7 - great job getting up early and getting in a 10 mile run in the heat!
@skippygirlsmom - hoping I can catch up to you! The trip to Houston and the heat has put me way behind!
@JoRocka - love your pictures! Hate the chafing!!

Solo long run today. Just wanted to listen to some new music and see how I can fare without a group tailing me Paced 8:59 despite it being about 10 degrees warmer than the last couple long runs I've done. Felt good until I ran out of water at mile 11! But I kept my splits between 8:45 and 9:05 through mile 11, then had 2 slower miles (to be fair: also uphill), and then a super quick downhill 8:06 mile back down to my apartment. Came back soaked through and dripping with sweat, so rewarded myself with a popsicle

I ran the race distance for the first time without stopping today! My goal for my race in September was to be under 40 minutes, today I ran it in 39:420 -
13.1 yesterday and 10 mile slow run today.
105.85/200 goal
Race report (Run This Town half marathon in Oakland, CA)- PR!!!!1:39.44! Beats my previous best by about 20 seconds however that PR was 7 years and 2 kids ago. The fastest I have ru I the last few years was 1:47 last January. The course was fun. Flat first 4-5, then rolling hills and finishing with a flat 3 around a city lake. I started running and talking with this guy around mile 3 and we ended up running the whole thing together. Just chatting and encouraging each other. Very fun!
