The January 2016 Running Challenge

3.6 miles tonight, squeezed in between work and a social event. Left knee giving me gyp from being on my feet teaching all week - I'm a techy not a teacher, but I was teaching a course about my specialism this week and it's caused my dodgy knee to flare up.
58.8/60 miles for the month.0 -
In the 1.5 years I've been running, always been a morning runner. But since it was cooler this month I decided to start running after work... sleep in til 5:30am instead of 4:15am. I'm enjoying the afternoon runs but I realized today that I am much happier at work all day if I already got my run done in the morning. I may give it another week and see.. but I'll be back to mornings soon enough when it's too hot.
The only thing I don't like about morning run is that it's dark and therefore I don't leave my neighborhood. With afternoon run, even though I sleep later, I find I'm worried all day that something will come up and ruin my planned run. So I suppose I'd rather get up early and do it in the dark, in the neighborhood than worry all day I won't get to do it.

@ddmom0811 - I'm pretty similar about morning vs afternoon runs. Too many times I missed an afternoon run due to something coming up during the day making me have to wait until practically bedtime to run in some cases. Waiting that long does not work for me because mental or otherwise I feel tons better with a recovery drink (carbs+protein). If I run that late and have the recovery drink I'm not getting to sleep for at least a couple more hours.
As for waking up early, I just can't seem to drag my *kitten* out of bed at 4am in the winter, but in the summer I find myself just waking up that early automatically. So I have found a way to squeeze in my runs a little later in the morning. It's not always easy but I get it done and have the rest of the day to catch up on whatever anyone wished I did earlier. So far it's working out fine. But mostly due to not having midweek long runs right now.0 -

I love the body glide. It's always with me.

@rune1990 Did you take the Parking Brake off?I run so much farther/faster outside. I'm not sure how exactly, but my treadmill is ancient so perhaps something is just not calculating properly. My effort seems the same *shrug* Actually scratch that, my treadmill workouts seem to get my heart beating harder.

Oh, poor poor treadmills, getting such a bad rap.
@juliet3455 I thought i smelt something...
@lporter229 Thanks for your insights, I will not compare running outside and 'using' the treadmill, entirely different beasts it seems.
I don't think I'll run outside when the windchill pushes harder then me, and I have no clue how running with the bugs and warm temps will go so I will concede:
The treadmill is (a necessary) evil
Now I can't remember if anyone mentioned collapsible water bottles? The thought of the water sloshing back and forth totally ruins my zen so that could be avoided by using the collapsible ones.0 -
I have finally decided, with a little bit of a two year old fit throwing, to just go back to the beginning of c25k. I think I'm just struggling because I have increased in my walking so much to get more time, steps, floors and mileage in my days when I can. SO I think my body isn't tolerating it all so well. SO If I just start from the beginning, and blend them better I should be fine with moving forward. I don't like feeling stuck. LOL! and I know the schedule works. I have a goal to reach 10 k this year, It's been 2 years of struggling to get to a 5k race which I did THanksgiving, and I know that getting to the 10 k would be a slow process too, I just need to be willing to give it the time my body needs to balance it all in order to make it happen. I also need to clean up my diet more, I'm doing good, and am losing weight but I need to cut out more of what makes my inflammation, and nerve pain worse.
Monthly Totals/ Run = 6.83, Walk = 30.73, Steps = 134.203, Floors = 200, Daily miles = 65.57
And don't forget to throw some rest days in there between running days ... It's okay to walk on rest days, though at an easy pace as your body needs time to adjust to running. If I run 2-3 days straight, my shin bones feel like they will snap! But if I have 1 rest day between those 3 running days... I am fine! Just need to let your body adjust slowly.0 -

101 new messages. If I'm going to get enough sleep, I can't read them all. Sigh. Work is crazy busy, but I'm making time to run, and I need to make time for sleep.

Today's notes: Speed work on the indoor track. 2 mile warm up. Assignment was 3 miles at MP, 2 miles at T, then 4 laps stride the straights. Followed with a 2 mile cool down. You know you're training for a marathon when the warmup, cool down, and speed work add up to over 9 miles and that isn't even the second longest day of the week.
Rest day tomorrow. 18 miles at E on Saturday. Will probably break 200 miles for the month on Sunday, running an hour at E.

Well, after a crappy day yesterday (too much stuff going on in both my work-lives), and not being able to run after choir rehearsal (thanks to one of my oh-so-talkative singers! love her, but....), I planned to hit the road between rain showers at lunchtime. So I get dressed and geared, and what do you know? It's raining. A steady, slow rain with no sign of stopping (and it didn't, for a couple of hours). So I just sucked it up, and ran in the rain. Not the misty stuff, or the occasional drips. This was a real January cold soaking rain.
And I loved it! Well, maybe not quite loved. But didn't hate it at all! Got in 4+ miles too!

I didn't log Tuesday's run. Ended up doing 5k on the treadmill (not as bad as I expected)

Got in a nice easy 6 miler tonight, as my legs were feeling a bit better and the weather was perfect. Should be good for a long 15 miler on Sunday, then will start my marathon plan Monday. Still, heading west for Sundance in a few days, so it'll be interesting seeing how running goes at altitude, and when/where I'll be able to squeeze in my runs between the 15 films I've snagged tickets for.

Total: 81.5 miles
Goal: 180 miles
Remaining: 98.5 miles0 -
@Becky_44 When I first started running I had to give up on distance and focus on time. Before long I was up to a mile or two then 3.... Ect.. It was motivating seeing the added distance in the same amount of time.
I am doing a challenge for miles in 2016, so I'm a bit focused on miles. But I have to look at time, as 15 mins of running sounds much more impressive than a mile. Haha! Gotta love my body!
I remember 10 min miles well. 0 -

Whoa! I'm missing responses to me, good thing I took the time to catch up! Thanks for your reply! I know my pushing the floors especially is not helping, like today I pushed from 26 my highest to 32. (Thought I'd get one last Harrah in) but I have 16 steps so about 550 steps today, definitely messes with my thighs and groin area. As well as my hip area, my biggest problem. So I will take it easy, and stay at just my daily goals, so I'm good to go for next week, and keep it there so running can progress again.0 -

My ticker seems to be lagging one day behind. I add my miles and then copy and paste and it is giving me what I should have had for yesterday. But it's correct on the ticker factory website. Strange. Anyway 54.3/100. Not being able to run for the first 10 days of the month hurt. But with two weekends left in the month, I should be in okay shape to hit my goal still. I think. Maybe.

OK I have to ask, what is "pushing the floors" I Googled it and Google comes back with kegel/pelvic floor exercises. I'm thinking, "that is not right". .0 -

Got up this cold, dark morning, put on on my layers, tied my shoes, fired up my new Garmin... and realized that today is a rest day.
But I ran anyway.

A good cheap alternative for anti-chaffing is underarm deoderant. Just go to the dollar store and rub on the cheap stuff (after you buy it - offcourse lol).
Of course if you don't buy it first, it just means you get in an extra run 0 -

Newbie welcome to @bluelove2004
Had an “Aha” moment. I’d been wondering why my run program had these intervals that seemed incredibly fast to me for someone targeting a 2:30:00 half marathon (I’m trying to run my first one ever and I wanted a target to shoot for that will push me a little but not something completely unattainable.) There are places in the program calling for a fast split of 2 miles and it says the target pace is around 8:30-9:00 (which for me would basically be outright sprinting). I just realized I only THOUGHT I was using the “sub 2:30:00 half marathon” program…I was actually using the “sub 2:00:00 half marathon” program.
So…I think from this point on I’ll continue you with it but just focus on going “fast for me” if there’s a split mentioned rather than killing myself trying to hit the pace prescribed..and since I’m probably not going to do my HM until summer, I can probably switch over to the sub 2:30:00 program next.
@Becky_44: 6.55 miles run makes you a “real runner”..maybe not a super-beast but I’m guessing the super-beast runners took awhile to get there. And I think if your body is telling you to repeat C25K you can go with that. And what @Elise4270 says is true, if you just focus your mind around “Today I will run/jog every time it says to for the amount of time it says to” eventually you’ll notice that the mile that took you 15 or 14 minutes at the start now takes you 13 and distance will take care of itself because even though you’re still running for 20 or 30 minutes, your pace is slowly going up.
@ddmom0811: I’m not quite at your level of gadget-iness but I’d definitely lose my !*@! over a rebooting phone as well. I’m kind of irritated that RunKeeper doesn’t seem to be syncing up with MFP again.
@5BeautifulDays: I suppose if you pace hard enough, you’ll just be a blur and naked won’t matter
@runner_girl83: Good luck on the park run
@snha: I’m hard on myself because I suspect I could do better than I’m doing…I “excuse myself” from running on days I really shouldn’t…although I notice this run just put me over December’s miles. Congrats on the 10.5 miles BTW.
@dominichoran: Wow..can’t even fathom getting that kind of run streak in. Pretty sure every muscle in my body would call in sick :P
@tweekedgirl and @whatang: Congrats on the impending goal smash!
@kristinegift, @5BeautifulDays (and anyone else buckling down for Jonas):Good luck with the snowpocalypse…
@9voice9: A cold soaking rain is the worst..kudos for getting in the mileage anyhow.
@Elise4270: If “pushing the floors” means what you said, I (and every male here) are simultaneously in awe/frightened that @Becky_44 can push between 26-32 of anything with, well, y’know…
Jan 1: 6.59 cold night miles, slow, around 12:40/mile.
Jan 2: REST DAY
Jan 3: First “official” training day for the HM, first snowfall for a run, 3.51 miles. Some fast intervals mixed in with slower paced runs. 12:10 average pace, fastest split was mile 2 (11:29).
Jan 4: Wimped out
Jan 5: 3.2 miles this morning
Jan 6: 5.05 miles avg. pace around 12:11
Jan 7: REST DAY. Plan on some walking and weights.
Jan 8: Wimped out
Jan 9: 50 degrees this morning in Central Ohio! Easy 6.2 miles 12:08 average pace. A little over 1/3 of the way to month’s goal.
Jan 10: Sick..no run
Jan 11: 3 degrees with wind chill, decided to skip run and recuperate one more day
Jan 12: Big snowfall in the morning (needed to leave a lot earlier for morning commute). Night run: Actual temp in the teens, single digit windchill. My “slow” pace is usually somewhere around the high 11s to low 12/mile and it was around a 13:30 tonight..and at times it felt like it was a “hard” pace.

I think I'm just struggling because I have increased in my walking so much to get more time, steps, floors and mileage in my days when I can. SO I think my body isn't tolerating it all so well. SO If I just start from the beginning, and blend them better I should be fine with moving forward. I don't like feeling stuck. LOL! and I know the schedule works. I have a goal to reach 10 k this year, It's been 2 years of struggling to get to a 5k race which I did THanksgiving, and I know that getting to the 10 k would be a slow process too, I just need to be willing to give it the time my body needs to balance it all in order to make it happen. I also need to clean up my diet more, I'm doing good, and am losing weight but I need to cut out more of what makes my inflammation, and nerve pain worse.
Monthly Totals/ Run = 6.83, Walk = 30.73, Steps = 134.203, Floors = 200, Daily miles = 65.57
And don't forget to throw some rest days in there between running days ... It's okay to walk on rest days, though at an easy pace as your body needs time to adjust to running. If I run 2-3 days straight, my shin bones feel like they will snap! But if I have 1 rest day between those 3 running days... I am fine! Just need to let your body adjust slowly.
Whoa! I'm missing responses to me, good thing I took the time to catch up! Thanks for your reply! I know my pushing the floors especially is not helping, like today I pushed from 26 my highest to 32. (Thought I'd get one last Harrah in) but I have 16 steps so about 550 steps today, definitely messes with my thighs and groin area. As well as my hip area, my biggest problem. So I will take it easy, and stay at just my daily goals, so I'm good to go for next week, and keep it there so running can progress again.
OK I have to ask, what is "pushing the floors" I Googled it and Google comes back with kegel/pelvic floor exercises. I'm thinking, "that is not right". .
@Elise4270 I think she means "pushing herself to climb up more stairs (floors of a building) each day." Or I hope so, anyway. 0
