@juliet3455 - congrats on your race! Awesome job finishing way up there!
I've been sick for the past few days so I haven't been able to run. I knew something was wrong during my last run so I cut it short. And I hardly get sick! Sigh. Hopefully it will pass quickly. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!0 -

@monkeymintaka Because the designers live and sleep in Dark Rooms with No Windows so they assume all people doing athletic events are super thin. I am a pretty big boy and live in the bottom of a major River Valley so I am all ways Running, Hiking or Walking Uphill. As a Result I have Calves and Thighs like a weight lifter, a chest like a race horse and arms like a 14 year old long thin and out of proportion to the rest of my body ( Multiple Separated Shoulders so no weight lifting ) . Fitting clothes is a nightmare. But if all humanoids were the Same Same it would be a pretty boring place.monkeymintaka wrote: »Why are sports clothes like 3 times smaller then regular clothes sizes?0 -

9/23 "rest day" 5 miles dragging recalcitrant dog around the lake at Nana's pace of 2.5 mph for two hours. I'm counting it because I wore my running shoes, lol!
9/24 3.25 at 11:50 average--but really hilariously, I had my fastest outdoor mile for the first one at 10:42. Then my aunt called me and wanted to talk about *Christmas*. If I wasn't concerned about her health I wouldn't have answered. So anyway, that mile was slow. Really slow. Then I got back up to 11:01.
9/25 Rest day, due to nasty head cold
9/26 Race Day! Still sick, but determined. I did 6.25 miles at 12:49 average, which is not terrible for a really challenging (to me) trail run. My splits were 10:20, 10:54, 14:10, 14:05, 14:09, 13:33, and 11:31. You can probably tell which parts were on the road, lol.
Goal: 75 miles

Tipping back a celebratory IPA!
This morning was my first 5K in 3 months and I was fully expecting to set a new PR, which I did quite handily. My time improved from 30:13 -> 26:32 and my pace improved from 9:44 -> 8:24. It's great to see all that running has pay off! The paces may not match the time because my GPS measured my run at 3.16 miles.
My Garmin tells me that my average HR was 171 which kind of surprises me. Had I guessed while I was running I would have thought it was about 164 to 165. The HR for my previous PR was 169, but I felt a lot worse that day. I just have a stronger heart now I guess. I was also surprised by my splits. I felt like I started slowing down after the second mile, but my splits are 8:36, 8:22, 8:17 and the last tenth was 8:05.
This was a race put on by our church to benefit homeless teens in the area. It was the first annual and it brought in 235 people, so it was a good turnout even though it wasn't heavily advertised. I spent so much time gabbing with folks beforehand I almost forgot to warm up, but did get in a 1/2 mile jog and a final potty stop.
That first IPA is gone, time for one more before lunch.

@juliet3455 love the you might be a running addict list... All that sounds like normal stuff to me.. Might add something like check in 15+ times a day on what your running buddies are doing, ie @Stoshew71 MFP's monthly running challenge..
Everyone is just tearing it up out there! Nearing another month and so many have hit or are close to their goals. For me, one more month down towards learning how to be a "runner".
I really would have never made it this far without the love and support of this group... I can not thank you all enough.0 -

I'm kinda excited - I found a group to run with! The main group meets on Saturday mornings at Dunkin Donuts, so I can get some miles in with a buddy or three, and then eat up the calories I burnt! There's enough folks that I can choose a pace and a distance to fit my needs. I did nearly 3 miles this morning without any walking, and managed a 6.43 with a just-under 11 minute average pace, which is pretty dang good for me! There's also some folks in the group that run most days/week, and they're gonna help me (I hope) get in some speed work, some tempo runs, and general run training that I've been lacking. Not to mention, having some in-person accountability to get my butt moving!0

@ddmom0811 - Setting up zones for heart rate training can be a bit of a cluster as there are about about 15 different sets of recommendations using two common approaches (% max heart rate, and % of range between resting & max). Still, from my marathons I've figured out my lactic threshold HR (about 167), but I'm still having trouble figuring out easy ranges as the J. Daniels easy pace for my VO2max is about 2 min/mile faster than the 70% max HR number I've also seen on the topic. Further complicating things is that I do a bunch of my training in Florida mid-day in the summer, which uses up lots of extra HR effort cooling my body.
Did another 5 miles late tonight (as I did an intense bike session mid-day), along with 6 more miles yesterday, inching me closer to my monthly goal. I should hit the 150 mark with ease as I'm returning up north tomorrow and will get in a few 8-10 mile daily runs for the last 3 days of the month. Still, with some pretty intense bike & swim workouts in the mix this past month, I've been slacking on my speedwork, and won't try to rush in 3 sessions.
9/1 - 5 easy miles
9/2 - 6 miles total (1.5 run + 4.5 run)
9/3 - 11 miles total (1.5 run + 4 run + 5.5 run)
9/6 - 6 miles

9/26 - 5 miles
Total: 127 miles, 2 speedwork session

Perfect weather today! Mid-50s, slightly breezy, nice and sunny. Went back to the giant hills that killed me last week and rocked them: no more 10:30 miles uphill... knocked em out in 9:01 and 8:57 splits! Paced 8:35 overall with a final downhill mile at 7:16. Comfortable pace between 8:30-8:50 per mile, plus a new HM PR with my fast finish miles (1:52:07), so I'm thinking I'll definitely break 1:50 for my HM next weekend, and I have my sights set on a 1:45-1:48 when I do Baltimore in 3 weeks.

Not to mention, having some in-person accountability to get my butt moving! And it's totally motivating too, I never would have ran this much/this fast etc if I hadn't joined a running club this summer.
Did my first 5 mile race this morning and got my first race tshirt and swag bag. If I knew they gave away free stuff I would have started racing a lot sooner!
Wanted to finish in under 50 mins, and did it in 49:22 so I am happy with that! Also, I passed my goal today, never thought that would happen.

@ewrook - nice job on meeting your goal!
@9voice9 - it's always nice to find a group to run with! Enjoy!
@snha - congrats on your first 5K!0 -
9/1 - 3.5 miles - way too many pushes on the snooze this morning!
9/2 - rest day walked the doggie instead
9/3 - 5.1 miles
9/4 - 10 miles last 2 were HOT HUMID and MISERABLE LOL
9/5 - rest day - cross country meet - Skip did great 24th in her division 23:37 no where near a PR but it was so hot and humid you could hardly stand to be out there to watch let alone run. Proud of my girl.
9/6 - 5.1 miles
9/7 - 5.2 miles of trail running - OMG we had so much fun!!! Skip wanted to practice trail running for her meets and folks gave me some great recommendations of trails to run. We went out this morning and had a blast. The first trail was marked as easy/difficult so it was some easy packed dirt and some gravel with harder roots and rocks to climb. The second was difficult and some parts were about 2' wide and quite a climb (for me LOL). We loved it!
9/8 - 5.1 miles
9/9 - 5.5 miles
9/10 - 7.2 miles nice slow pace this morning, just wanted to get the miles in. Still pretty humid (97%) but the temp was 69 so it was nice. Annoying little doggie chased me this morning and nipped at my heels, honestly people it's dark out keep your doggies inside so they don't get run over.
9/11 - 5.3 miles - cool 64 but humid 100% morning, but nice weather for a run
9/12 - xc meet rest day
9/13 - 2 miles - was going to rest, but did 2 miles at the lake to move my legs
9/14 - 6.2 miles - good night 46 degrees in Alabama in September who would have thought it!
9/15 - 5.4 miles
9/16 - rest day
9/17 - 8 miles - started off ugly and then got great and felt good. Negative splits the whole way...that never happens
9/18 - 5.6 miles
9/19 - XC meet - rest day
9/20 - 10 miles felt good the whole run (that never happens) every mile under 11 mins most were around 10:34 the last was 9:56 giving me a 10:33 overall pace. I'd have to check but that has to be my best 10 miler. Taking Skip to see US Women's World Cup team play Haiti this afternoon. Can't wait.
9/21 - 5.2 miles in the rain - well drizzly
9/22 - 5.2 miles
9/23 - rest day
9/24 - 7 miles
9/25 - 5.1 miles
9/26 - rest day XC meet - another great one for Skip she placed 9th at 22:47. She was upset with her time until she saw the varsity boys that usually run 16 min running 17+.
9/27 - 3.3 mile trail run - we cut it a bit short after Skip took a good fall, cut up her leg and hands. We talked to some nice runners who told her she's an official trail runner now, that once you take a header you're official. LOL

8.3 Km Trail run in with the 1/2 of the Sunday group. A new area for me Headed North out of " Tims " ( Canadians Know ) and along the upper river Valley Hill Trails. Part of the trails have been destroyed by Road Construction - Can you say " Runners Detour " through the truckloads of Dirt and Rock piles. Then back on the Trails and dropped down into the River Valley following the Railway tracks heading to the Trestle Bridge. Like Skip @skippysmom I took a tumble ( caught my toe in a small piece of wire sticking out of the ground ) at about 4.5 km so I cut my run short- after pulling the wire out of the ground and throwing it down slope into the trees. Definitely want to return to this area and do a few more trails in the area. Right thigh is a little tender - small muscle strain from the spill.

@9voice9 Glad to hear you found a group to run with! My group meets Wednesday at the Local Rec center and Sunday at Tims. The best part of the Group for me is all the new trails that they know.
@monkeymintaka No I have MooBs - bad Nipple chaffing if you have the wrong top on, or an old top that is starting to fail. Great results from your first 5 mile race. Love the swag bags and shirts.
@snha - congrats on your first 5K! Very good time for a first race. Takes a bit to get used to setting and holding a pace.
@skippysmom Trust Skip to be the show off in the photo. Love the look of the Trail area you were in. And you thought that just the name of the race ( Roots and Ruts ) I was going to was scary0 -
It's been a very good weekend for me. First the huge 5K PR yesterday and today it was a huge distance PR. My previous distance PR was 13.1 miles, three weeks ago, and today I was trying for 15 but ended up with 16 due to a wrong turn.
I got to see a great cross section of Minneapolis..industrial, urban, lakes, and serene residential. At some point I'll post a link to some pictures. It was a beautiful run and I'll definitely take this loop again.
I felt great the entire run and even had a big increase in pace the last 4 miles. My splits for the first 11 miles were between 10:43 and 11:29. My splits for the last 4 miles were 9:22 and 9:47 if I disregard the mile where I got confused and had to stop to check my map. I felt strong until the end, but I was ready to stop when I got back to my truck.

very fast 10k yesterday, didn't even realize I did it - had a wonderful day out in Bristol so was really happy before the run and my brain was already looking forward to it
today almost 22 miles, did start really well this time, but then after 10 miles I began to be a bit tired - I think it is normal considering I drove 6 hours yesterday and slept 4 hours only
weather was really good today,people EXTREMELY annoying at the park
boom of really long dog leads, so dogs far away from their owners and really nice sharp leads ready to cut your legs...
not really looking forward to 12 miles tomorrow, but have to swap my monday 10k with tuesday's0 -
Lots of folks tearing up the pavement and trails out there! Great job on hitting the goals and the PRs @ewrook, @Elise4270, @annekka, @snha, @monkeymintaka, @rogue024, @skippygirlsmom (I know you'll get there soon! and sorry to hear about Skip...OUCH!!, and another great photo!)
This is a heck of a group we have here, and I know I wouldn't be doing nearly as well with my running if not for the advise and support of you folks!0 -

I haven't really had a chance to read through and catch up on everything since the middle of last week! I have missed you guys but life has been crazy at work and personally. I didn't get as many runs in as normal during the week but ran both yesterday and today. No real long run but got in a fast tempo run yesterday and today was going to be a slow just get out there and move, short run that turned into a faster than expected, longer than expected great run. It is hot again at least through this next week (in the 90's all week capping at 97F on Friday - ugh) and the humidity is back.
