Can I join? I'm new to running so I'll only commit myself to 50 miles, and if I do more it's a bonus!0

Sure, join right in. Welcome!!!0 -
Hmmm...photo didn't work. Here it is from a different source:
Wow that's pretty pup!
@Stoshew71 She didn't say how long. She feels it loads my spine to much and I still have inflammation, tight muscles and nerve/disc pain. Which probably lead to a torqued pelvis (no bueno, si painful). It all just cascades from there. I'm on the mend, so I'll listen to her. -for now
I may take a walk later to keep from getting to stiff... May swim later in the week, as suggested by PT guru.0 -

Yeah, try and get as much resistance training as you can in, like swimming, running hills. Can you do body weight exercises like pushups, situps, planks, and what-not?0 -
October Goal—stretch goal 120 km
10/1—rest getting a cold I think…
10/2—10.18 km
10/3—rest, taking care of errands and resting up for…
10/4–10.73 km
10/5—typhoon day, good thing it’s a traditional rest day anyway
10/6–5.16 km
Decided since I"m not half-training at the mo' to drop my running to three times a week and focus on the quality of my runs and working on picking up my pace etc.0 -
7.0 km run up Pats Creek Trail - All the water ponds were still covered in ICE - Yes I said ICE and not the kind for cocktails - at noon when I went out for a run.
10/04 – 7.1 Km – 7.1 Km – 92.9 Km to go
10/05 – 7.0 Km –14.1 Km – 85.8 Km to go 14.1 + 237.8 = 251.9 km

Planks are OK. I do push ups with my feet on the stability ball. No sit ups. I can do some hip abductor resistance with bands. And I need to strengthen my glutes
Kayaking wasn't vetoed.0 -
@Elise4270, @ddmom0811 and @kristinegift - Congratulations on your races and PRs!! Excellent work ladies! Sounds like all of you had a wonderful time - well... except for the chafing!
@ddmom0811 - Awesome picture of you and your daughter! I love the tiaras!
@Elise4270 - You got your buffalo!! Yay!! I hope the legs are feeling better!
Congratulations to any others who had races this last weekend too!
@juliet3455 - what is a wobble pop? Seems that winter is making an early appearance for you way up north!
@dennie24 - love that you ran a race with your son! He is adorable!!
@Stoshew71 - the write up on your running groups is great! Maybe it will encourage even more participation in your area. Although it sounds like it is already very popular there.
@karllundy - your puppy is beautiful! Is she/he a greyhound? I think Hobbes the Vizsla would love running with her!
@melaniefave41 and @mwyvr - You guys crack me up! Let us know if you find Sasquatch or his scat... depending on where you are running though it could be Melianie's
#ishitinthewoods lol
@Elise4270 - can you do hip raises or bridges? They are good for your hips and glutes. I have also been doing one the trainer showed me with my heels on the ball, hips elevated and then rolling the ball in towards my butt - no idea what they are called though.
I had a great run this morning especially considering I didn't want to go and kept putting it off. It was beautiful out and I am so glad I went. My legs were a bit stiff at first - probably a result of 7+ hours in the car yesterday coming home from Flagstaff. I stuck with it and the result was well worth it. Cool out with a beautiful blue sky after the rain last night and lots of poofy clouds!

Shin splints aren't too bad.. Feeling really good How do you tell if its safe to run more days? I would live to run 3-4 days each week but that and slowly increasing distance .. My legs don't adjust to change very well.
Try stretching it with this yoga routine:

That is awesome!!! Thank you!
About to put the little one down for a nap so will try this out!
I ran 2km this morning pushing my son in his pram.. Am feeling it all over!
3/10 – 3km
4/10 – 3km
6/10 – 2km ….. Total 8/40km0 -
3/10 - 3km
Add a few miles slowly. I initially set a time goal. You can use the 10% rule. Or if you run twice a week for two week's you can add 2 miles. That can be another days run, or you can add mileage.
Wierd- I messed something up here!
Thanks Elise! That's what I was thinking.. I ran 2km today.. I am feeling a little sore though I'm pretty sure that has something to do with pushing 20kg extra (3yr old and pram) 0 -
@shanaber That pic of the trail and puffy clouds is absolutely gorgeous!0
-
@shanaber yes, bridges are prescribed. I'm to hold off on the single leg bridges. Sounds like I'm doing the ball thing you describe. Today was shown a" Supergirl" on the ball. Knees on the ground, ball in front, toes against the wall and launch over the ball with arms in "super" pose.
Thanks everyone, @Stoshew71. I'm so happy to be moving forward, finally have a plan and an understanding of what I've been battling the last 3.5 years. Hip surgeon next week, I'd decided if he recommend surgery I'd do it. But now, with my pelvis untorqued, the hip tears are tolerable. And I ran a HM! I may rethink my options.

Just catching up on weekend posts - @kristinegift @ddmom0811 and @elise4270 congrads on the races!
Just got in another 8.5 miles today as the weather was perfect up north. Hoping I'll still be here after Wednesday's game, otherwise, my bike will be getting lots of extra use.
10/1 - 7 miles
10/2 - 8.5 miles
10/3 - 4 miles (pace run at 1/2 marathon speed)
10/4 - 9 miles
10/5 - 8.5 miles
Total: 37 miles
Goal: 170 miles
Remaining: 133 miles0 -
@shanaber You asked - What is a wobble pop? I thought everyone knew what it is. @mwyvr said it in his latest Profile " I run for beer" and what else would cause everyone to be a little rough
Yes Winter is making an early appearance but it's situation normal for us. We will get a few cold spells and then some Mild temps for a while. The standard comment is " Parents design their kids Halloween Costumes so it will fit over top of their winter clothes".0 -
I've been a complete slug the last week. So I'm starting late and will go for 42 miles. It seems rather random but it's a little more than my previous goals and I am starting late.
10/5 3.5miles out of 42 miles total.
And I'm loving all these pet pics too! I'll see if I can attach one of my cutie, Abbie. This was from a couple of weeks ago when she had to stay at the pet hotel. She doesn't run with me-I need to start her on a pooch-2-5K I guess! She's a smiling doggie.

@shanaber > @melaniefave41 and @mwyvr - You guys crack me up! < - thank you, we'll be appearing here all month!
@Stoshew71 Congrats on making the papers!
No run for me, taking a break day. Saw Neil Young in concert this evening, he's looking pretty fit and vibrant still. Wonder if he runs?
Whether or not one agrees with Neil's views on social, economic or political issues we can probably all agree that he's given the world a huge and varied body of work. I'm going to hum this one while running in the morning and then move on to Down By The River once I reach the river.
Long May You Run

Long may we all run!0 -
01/10 - 10.3km 02/10 - 13.1 miles 03/10 - 10.3km 04/10 - 22.1 miles 05/10 - 10.3km 06/10 - 13.1 miles tot 109/500km
a nice HM to start the day, with a decent pace as well
Initial couple of kms are always tough, but I got used to it now, I think it's normal considering it is before 5am and I was in bed less than half an hour before
then things improve, and most importantly the episodes of mental weakness are less now
after yesterday sad run today I feel full of energy
the only negative is that I've got overheated, and it's the second time it happens, luckily there was a bit of breeze that cooled me down eventually (obviously it's raining, don't even doubt about that!)
looking forward to tomorrow, my favourite route, will see if I got time for another HM, I wish I could go for another long run right now (curious to see when my knees will fell off lol

Can't work out how to do the ticker thing, I'm a bit of a technophobe
So my runs are as follows
1/10 3.72 miles
3/10 3.28 Miles
5/10 2.4 miles
Not getting much done as my son is off school having had an operation, and my husband is working crazy long hours.0 -

@shanaber - wow, that picture is so beautiful.
@mwyvr - love the video. I agree - Long may we all run!
Flew home yesterday and funny thing happened. I put my HM medal in my purse and when I did, I thought I hope this doesn't set off alarms at airport. Sure enough when my purse was going through the scanner I see the lady stop it... back it up. Study the screen. She calls someone over, they study the screen. Meanwhile the line is growing behind the conveyor belt. Then they pull my purse out and ask if it is mine. I had to go over to the side while the security guy picked through my purse. I said "it's my MEDAL! I ran a half marathon!" It's huge and heavy and has 5 prong type things for the crown (you can sort of see it in my picture). It probably looked like brass knuckles (never seen those in person, but just imagining how they would look, lol). I told him I wanted to wear it in the airport but I knew it couldn't go through security. The guy laughed when he saw it and congratulated me.

My first running challenge.
I'm at 5.9/50. Still a way to go but I'll get there!0 -
@starryeyedsnoozer Go to the first page of this Post where @Stoshew71 has it detailed under *******OPTIONAL TICKER*************. From what I have seen most people misplace the img tags or copy and paste the wrong links.starryeyedsnoozer wrote: »Can't work out how to do the ticker thing
Sorry that your son had to have surgery - glad to hear that he is at home which means he is well on his way to recovery. Looking at your log - nothing wrong with your running accomplishments - run - rest - run - rest - run.0 -
@Stoshew71 and anyone else that may know..
We discussed my calorie goal a few days back- I was at 1450/day and not losing. I upped my calories the 3 days going into the HM, ran surprisingly well yadda yadda. Still on an increased calorie intake ~2000 (hungry), and I have definitely lost some fat. Is this an indication that I might consider increasing calorie intake maybe to 1750? Or is this typically of the repair process post big run?
My scale hasn't bugded, so I don't think it's hydration. I'm leaner through the middle and my quads are more defined.
I'm thinking I've put myself in deficit/starvation-ish mode without knowing it at 1450. Little reluctant to get back to 1400ish...0 -
October 1-5 25 1/2 miles down! 119 1/2 left!!!0
