7.5 km run with 9 club members- Legs felt really Heavy today so I was a slow poke.
As a Running group we are Pretty happy as we can still run on the Hills and Bush trails due to the lack of snow.
As an Alpine/Nordic skier not so happy. Hard to train for a Birkenbiner with no snow. Easier training for my 2 Feb HM's with no snow. So conflicted as to what weather I/We want.
12/01 - 0.0 Km – 0.0km – 140.0 Km
12/02 – 7.0 Km – 7.0km – 133.0 Km
12/04 – 5.0 Km – 12.0km – 128.0 Km
12/04 – 7.0 Km – 19.0km – 122.0 Km
12/04 – 7.5 Km – 26.0km – 113.5 Km – – YTD – 7.5 + 533.4 = 540.9Km

Challenge Update: Did 6 miles this morning. I started out running into the wind and was regretting not bringing my gloves for the first mile or so. Since I was only scheduled for 6 miles today, I got to take my running buddy along (my dog--would post a pic, but I'm not savvy enough to figure that out on my phone...). She doesn't get to run with me much these days since my mileage has increased. I try to limit her to 6 miles tops. Always feel horrible leaving her at home because she loves our runs so much!
Currently: 17/96 completed0 -
I'm in just for 50 miles this month. I'm being cautious cos a few nights out and Christmas will get in the way.
Done 15.98m so far this month - not sure I can be bothered with the ticker thing again I'm too lazy!
Did 10k tonight without stopping - first time I haven't had a minute walk midway. So I'm happy about that

@tdbernrd - awesome job at your HM!
@Elise4270 - love the profile picture
@ddmom0811 - glad to hear the wedding went well
Finally got rid of my cold and got a good 6.2 miles in today I have a HM next Saturday and I plan to walk some as my training hasn't been as good as planned. I'll make sure to pay attention to how I feel, but it's a hilly course so I'm sure I'll walk at least a bit.

First week was a huge success! Logged more miles than I had originally planned. Marathon training is going great!!!

December Running Totals (miles)
12/1- 6.58 (warmup, speed work, cool down)
12/2- extra rest day
12/3- 6.40 easy
12/4- 8.12 easy
12/5- 15.00 long slow run
12/6- 9.15 easy with hills
Total- 45.25
Goal- none stated
Today's notes: 9.15 miles in 1:12:06 for an average pace of 7:53 per mile. The sore hamstring has faded into a normal training ache. The bigger ache has shifted to my glute, the same spot that got sore from driving for 2 days to get to my last half marathon. Okay, I know that will get better. Kept the pace easy today on principle, but after about 3 miles could only feel the hamstring/glute ache if I focused specifically on it. That felt so good that I ran my maximum intended mileage, bringing the training week in right around 45 miles. It would have been easy to stretch this to 10 miles . . . but I've taken that hamstring as a warning. Now is the time to consolidate the weekly base, not to expand it.

I guess unlike most of you guys, I really don't mind the treadmill so much. I'm just used to it. I turn on the music, tell myself I can't look at the mileage until I get through however many songs I need to that will get me close to the end, and settle in for the long haul. It has its good and bad points. Time certainly passes more slowly on it, it's hard to get "out of your head" while using it. But for me, I have to go slowly for my longer runs, like tonight, and it's hard for me to pace myself properly outside so it's easier for me to get my long distance on a treadmill. But, like someone said earlier, I can run faster outside more comfortably than I can on the treadmill. But right now, I run in the evening and it's too dark outside, and also with the cold I sometimes get a bit of cold induced asthma when I exercise (or exercise induced asthma when it's cold, maybe) so inside can be better. And with all my travel, the hotel treadmill is my buddy. So I go with what works for me at the time.0 -

December: 6 of 45 miles completed
The run felt good this morning. I just can't figure out this weather, one day it's hot then cold the next. Today I dressed too warmly. But I'm glad it didn't affect my run. I was happy to be in the zone as I listened to my audiobook.0 -

Did a fun smaller holiday 5k this evening, taking 2nd place out of 85 runners. Finally nailed my first sub-20 minute 5K, and finished 20 seconds behind the winner with a time of 19:26.
I was happy with my pacing (6:20, 6:28, 6:17 mile splits), stuck with my plan of not over-racing the first mile, passed 2 runners at the 2 mile mark who faded after starting the race way too fast, but realistically didn't have the speed to make up the gap with 1st place. On the plus side, I collected my first trophy and a $20 gift card to a local running store for the effort. Postponing my long run to tomorrow night as I'll be a bit more fresh then.
12/1 - 4 miles
12/2 - 4 miles (hill repeats at a 7 pace)
12/3 - 4 miles
12/5 - 6 miles
12/6 - 4 miles (5k in 19:26 - 2nd/85 runners)
Total: 22 miles

I love to bring my dog, too, but he can only make it once around the lake (4.5 miles) before he starts giving me trouble. At first it's "I'm bored, let's chase squirrels" and quickly degrades into "I'm not going anywhere without peeing on it." So he doesn't get to come with me on long runs!
12/1 3.5 @ 11:17 on the treadmill plus strength training
12/2 5.25 @ 11:04 on the treadmill. Oh my heck, please let it be sunny tomorrow. Or at least not so wet.
12/3 4.75 @ 12:03 on the park trail with the doggy. Yay! Sunshine!
12/4 3.5 @ 11:03 (really 3.25 at 10:48, plus .25 at a walk) on the treadmill, plus strength training
12/5 3 miles hiking with the cub scouts

4.5 km last night - past the cementary in darkness and fog
During my last run, I took of my gloves and stuffed them in my jackets back pocket. When I wanted to put them on last night, I realised I had lost one of them. My favourite gloves! I'll have to replace them quickly, and that's going to be expensive, because knowing myself I'll end up buying more than only gloves *sigh*
@Ohhim Congratulations on the awesome 5k time!

@_nikkiwolf_ that's so annoying - I always end up taking my gloves off too. And then because I'm scared they'll fall out of the back pocket I end up running with them in my hands which annoys me no end

1-6.65mi build up run from 13:07-11:04
2-strength and yoga day
3-6.69mi fast run 11:40, technically. but reality is we have 5 min warm up and potty breaks for the dog
4-rest day, maybe yoga day. feeling poopy
5-13.17mi I was only scheduled for 11 but I was feeling so good at 9 miles I went on and decided to do a whole 13. I have to say a marathon isn't that scarey now.
6-3.18mi for recovery and to do the Runkeeper Global 5k
