OK! October Challenge is now posted:

October marks my 2 year running anniversary. Jennifer and I started on Columbus Day back in 2013.0 -
@Stoshew71 - I run fasted in the mornings primarily because I can't tolerate anything in my stomach when I run. So I would worry my stomach wouldn't tolerate it if I need to have it before I run. I do sometimes use protein powder in the morning after my run when I know it will be a while before I can actually eat something because of work/meetings. I also have it occasionally at night after a hard day of running and strength training workouts. I use Cytosport that has 6g of BCAAs - not huge but maybe enough?
You can try taking it a lil earlier. It doesn't take too long for the BCAAs to get into your system (especially the mixed kind). 6g's of BCAAs is actually very good. I think a decent dose is actually 3 g's.pearshapedmum wrote: »last week I posted about some pain in the back of my knee after my longer run (8 miles). I had a couple of days rest from running and strength training and it disappeared - my next short run was fine. This sunday I did the same route again of 8 miles (3 mins quicker!) and the same knee pain set in. I have brought this on myself. it seems to be hanging around for longer this time so I will have to wait til it is completely gone before I resume running, then knock back from 8 to 5 miles I think. On the plus side, I have already met my target for the month :-) downside - I wanted to be able to comfortably run 10 miles by Christmas........
You may need more time with the strength training to build up to 10 miles. Also, more smaller runs will help develop that. But you also said you did the 8 mile route 3 minutes quicker. You shouldn't try to run faster while upping your mileage. You should maintain that same easy pace.

Looks like I'm going to miss my goal...boo. I might do 3 miles tonight, but my hip is hurting. I brought my son to the local Y's adventure room and I slipped on a mat. Didn't fall, just twisted my leg a bit. Feels like I might have tweaked my IT band a bit since it's also hurting on the outside of my knee a bit when I go down stairs. I'm thinking rest day today and tomorrow and back to it on friday.
Congratulations to everyone who met or exceeded their goals!

Great job all!0 -
This is a tough week for me. I took two rest days Monday & Tuesday. Monday was planned, but yesterday I was just too tired and I had some work to do getting ready for our camping trip. I should skip running tonight but I won't. Tomorrow because it's work > soccer game > 4 hour drive to the campsite, so if I don't run tonight, it will be a 4 day hiatus. I may have to take tomorrow off to pack...in which case I would likely squeeze in a run.

@Stoshew71 thanks for all the info, links and vids about the bcaa's! I looked at the label on the ON 100% Whey Gold Standard powder I bought for my son (who's starting to lift weights) and it turns out there's 5.5 grams of BCAAs per scoop, so I'll experiment with drinking that before my long runs and see if I notice any difference. I was pretty darn sore yesterday, the day after my 16 mile run (but it was a good kind of sore).
@snha it sounds like you're reaching a point of running "enlightenment"! Those are great moments! It's almost as if you've passed through a gate into the next level of running. I've recently had a moment like that myself.
@juliet3455, I'm really jealous of your running area!
@JoRocka another great picture, as always!
@mwyvr, you may not reach your goal but you have a VERY respectable total!
@patrikc333, @shanaber, @Stoshew71 and @kristinegift, way to hit those HUGE goals!
I'm sure I missed some others worthy accomplishments and I apologize.

ha ha!
@7lenny7 I'm not surprised you are tired a jump to 16 miles is big. I'd be tired too. Smart idea to listen to your body when it says rest.
Everyone kicked butt this month, whether you ran 10 miles or 400 miles, amazing work everyone!

OK! October Challenge is now posted:

Thanks! And congratulations on your upcoming run-niversary!0 -
I'm in again! I'm aiming to do 400km/250-ish miles this month. I'm running a 50 mile race on September 26th so as long as everything goes according to plan and I'm still feeling strong, I've got about 2 more 100km+ weeks ahead of me before I start tapering.
Ahhh I fell really short of my September goal, it looks like I'll be finishing this month at 270km/168 miles. I'm not going to be too hard on myself though, I made it through training injury free and successfully completed a 50 mile trail race on Saturday. I didn't have a time goal, just wanted to finish before the cut offs and finish strong, which I did.
All the soreness from the weekend is gone so I'm looking ahead to October mileage now; post race slump is a big problem for me, so I need some new goals to focus on.
Congrats to everyone who ran their butts off in September. Bring on October!

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.

He ran in random criss-cross patterns in front of my feet. He stopped for absolutely no reason. It was not a good run. In unrelated news, I do not like running after lunch. Again, not a good run. Oh well. Month is done and mileage met!
Goal: 75 miles

So what is your Running area like?@juliet3455, I'm really jealous of your running area!
What about my area do you like so much?
The positive in my area - Hill Repeats are dead easy - they are everywhere and you don't have to repeat a hill as there is always another one just around the next tree or bend in the trail. So when I get to a race with Hills I tend to be the Mountain Goat who doesn't really break stride or lose a lot of pace when I hit the slopes.
The Negative - Long Flat Runs are not easy to do unless you get uphill out of the valley up to the Prairie/Table lands- and who in there right mind wants to do that? Especially when there are all these hidden nooks and crannies to explore. I still haven't made it into what the Old Timer Locals call Sherwood Forest, Black Woods, Judah Hills south, Judah Hill Railway, Sand Dunes, Hart River, Forestry Land Slide and the list goes on and on.0 -

My body was sore and tired this morning and work uncooperative so I took today as my regular rest day even though I know Friday will be 7-8 hours in the car. I am hoping maybe to get in a short slow run/walk once we get to Flagstaff so Friday won't be a total loss. Hobbes will need it too! I just need to remember the elevation change and not expect too much from either of us!
I am so proud of everyone and the progress that has been made - whether you made your goal or not, you were up and off that couch and moving! Great Job!!
Now on to October with cooler temps and great runs!!

So what is your Running area like?@juliet3455, I'm really jealous of your running area!
What about my area do you like so much?
The positive in my area - Hill Repeats are dead easy - they are everywhere and you don't have to repeat a hill as there is always another one just around the next tree or bend in the trail. So when I get to a race with Hills I tend to be the Mountain Goat who doesn't really break stride or lose a lot of pace when I hit the slopes.
The Negative - Long Flat Runs are not easy to do unless you get uphill out of the valley up to the Prairie/Table lands- and who in there right mind wants to do that? Especially when there are all these hidden nooks and crannies to explore. I still haven't made it into what the Old Timer Locals call Sherwood Forest, Black Woods, Judah Hills south, Judah Hill Railway, Sand Dunes, Hart River, Forestry Land Slide and the list goes on and on.
Perhaps it's a case of "the grass is greener", but I love remote places and I love to explore and it appears you have access to that. Be it wooded, prairie, mountains or deserts, I love to roam and your area looks like a place where I could do a lot of that.
That's not to say where I run is not a nice area. Minnesota, I think, is blessed with great places, be it urban trails, urban lakes, rural trails, lake country, river trails, and so forth, and I've really enjoyed getting to know my own community better through running, but when I see places like the areas you, (and @mwyvr!!) run, it makes me want to run and explore those areas as well.
Give me some time to upload some pictures to an online gallery and I'll post a link to some of the pictures I've taken running and you can see where I run.

9.1.15... 3.04...26:30- late 10 PM run
9.2.15... 5.27.... 48 minutes: Woke up a little late- wanted to hit the road around 5:15- left at like 5:35- oh well- was worried about time due to it being the first five miler- I did okay - 48 minutes roughly- super busy yesterday didn't get a chance to update
9.3.15... 3 miles- 27- super slow- stiff and heavy
9.6.15- 3.02.... 28:56- I went ahead and shuffled my runs- workshop was to important to stress over a 9 miler and then the workshop. So Sunday- I did an easy 7:30 AM easy 3 miler- way more hilly than expecting- but no worries!
9.8.15- 8.98 @ 1:34- this was rough- it was hot and humid- It was a chips and salsa left over sprint to unlock the door and straight to the toilet. Another sweaty toilet seat end to my run!!!
9.11.15... 6.39... 55:16 felt really solid today- very disappointed I ran out of time!
9.13.15..... 10.17.... 1.31.13- longest run of the training- mostly felt good- was VERY pleased with my first 4- a stead 8 and change landing me at 34.5 minutes- which made me happy. I ran 8 miles on the flat canal dirt path and two miles on asphalt side walk- 1 mile straight up through Princeton- and you can see on my split the last mile was down hill and quick. I didn't puke- and I didn't crap myself so WINNING!
9.15.15... 3.06... 27 min- Sloppy night run- I really felt like I was just tired and my form was working against me- never the less- DONE SIR DONE. now- I better get up early to run my 5 tomorrow- or I'm gonna be super cranky pants about that!
9.16.15.... 5.3... 47... rough- not recovering well and not getting enough sleep. but got it done- woke up hella late- so I'm behind- but here we go- down hill in the week! WOOT
9.17.15... 3.17...26.30 minutes- I started out quick- like it felt like a 25 min or lower type run- but alas- not so much. didn't help my hair was falling out and I tried to tie it back up- but no luck- just broke so I lost a good 15-30 seconds fussing with that. Oh well. I was hella late from work today- so I ran from 5:30-5:55ish and then raced to the gym and lifted- then off to dance class. Definitely feeling the work the chiro/pt did on my glutes/IT bands- was just what I needed-but definitely feeling it- one more mile run- one mile closer to the half!!
Womp womp
9.19.15 (or 20th) bust. I opted to stay home- I had literally no excuse other than I wanted to spend time with my man. Fail- I could have easily run a 10K and been okay- he wouldn't have died but I didn't want to run badly enough quiet honestly.
9.22.15- 3.04- 26 minutes. Nice and cool this morning- I'm going to have to start putting a real shirt on at some point- poop.
9.23.15.... 5.28... 47- supposed to be race pace- but I feel a lot like my race pace is like my regular pace- I suspect I"m going to go with that for the race- every time I get a little punchy with my gate- I wind up winded much quicker than I want. But I finished strong- and felt really good about the whole thing.
9.24.15... 3.00... 32:30- Flat out tread mill run- I just couldn't bring myself to get up and run. Which was sad- but useful- and I was able to make it a 'decent' hill run workout- so slow- but that's okay. Unfortunately- with hills this puts me just over a 2 hr run time with my average pace around 10 min/mile. We'll see. Goal is under 2 hrs for the half- but we'll see!!!
9.27.15...11.39..1:45 Long long weekend for me- work Friday night- 2 hr class Saturday- up early to teach- more class- and then we hosted a sewing circle since we are prepping new costumes. I didn't get home till 4:30- recouped and got back in the car to drive to Princeton to run my 11 by 5:45- started running around 6- so I didn't finish till 7:45- which meant- with all the cloud cover it was hella dark. I felt mostly pretty good- I made a solid attempt to carb load the last 3 days- I think it worked- minus the wine/water issue. I didn't actually eat very well so I felt a little nauseous the first 2-3 miles. But I settled down and really I felt really good and I think my splits were quiet solid.
9.28.15....3.07...28- super slow tonight- couldn't hit my stride- was insanely humid and muggy and I felt like I couldn't stand up straight. just OIY.
super drizzly and rainy. just not awesome. oh well
9.30.2015.... 2.1... 16.30 min- I think- watch said 16:10- but my phone registered a hair longer. So we'll call it 16:30- moving right along- disappointed I didn't go further- but my slider on my Hal app was pushed forward a week. I won't die- but still annoying.
August: 66.23 of 75 miles
September 79.3 of 104.5
Total Half Training Mileage
184.36 of total 225
So- I miscounted my milage- it was only supposed to be 92 miles for this month in training
104- I think included the weekend run on my calender coming up (since I wrote it ALL out.
So- I am finishing 79.3 of 92 miles.
I know I missed a 3 miler- and the 10K- and then yesterday I ran 2 instead of 5.
This puts me at 184.36 of my 225.
All in all- I am pretty happy with almost 80 miles of running- had I known I was that close yesterday- I would have polished off another half mile to tip me to 80 flat- but you know- I'm okay. Still a hell of a lot of running for a none runner!! WOOT WOOT0
