    Finished an 11 mile long run this past Saturday. Narrowly missed a car driving into the lake (police had just been flagged down as I approached) and witnessed a bicyclist taking a header after clipping a pylon while cooling down. Since she had a partner, I waited until she was up, walking, and appeared to be OK before moving on.

    All and all, one of my more eventful runs :neutral:

    I did 21 miles (34 km) yesterday (Sunday). I was attacked by a stray tumbleweed caused by the high winds. Got some nice superficial scratches to show for it. Fortunately the wind was mostly a cross wind, so other than making it feel colder than it should have, given the temperature, and having to dodge the weeds, it was an okay run.

    I was reasonably happy with my pace, but it's still a ways away from where I'd like to be, and the Phoenix R 'n' R marathon is coming up fast. Oh well. As long as I don't get injured or ill I'm pretty sure I'll better my time from my last marathon this past May.

    I ran 7.5 miles Sunday, 2.5 today. Both outside with nice weather. I might miss my usual long run next Sunday. We are expecting a wet cold front...

    Ran my last road race of 2016 this morning. It was a 'jingle bell' 5k in very chilly conditions around my neighbourhood, and it was a lot of fun. Ugly sweaters galore, Santa Claus cheering us on from the sidelines, and all 350 or so runners were wearing bells, so it sounded as if 10,000 cats had been called in for dinner. Too windy for a PB, but still came in 5th in my age group, which was good.

    Now need to start thinking about my 2017 race calendar. Woot!

    Chiltern League Cross country yesterday. 5.5 miles of torture racing for positions. Hate it and love it all at the same time!

    ran my fastest ever 5 miles on the dreadmill yesterday. To celebrate I went out before dawn and ran 8.5 miles of twisty turny hilly road. Even on a foggy morning there is something great about watching the world brighten around you.

    Here's a little back story: I've been lifting for about 2 years and lost 70lbs. Last summer I stopped exercising all together and ate like crap, resulting in gaining 12lbs back. Late august I decided to start running, just because I liked a route by our place and I needed different motivation. I had a base fitness already (I can't imagine loosing 2 years work in 4 months) so I ran 5km with a pace of over 8 minutes per km, and took many walk breaks. Over the next 2 week I got better and better. Running faster and finally not having to stop! I decided to enter a half marathon (21.1km) which was my first race experience, October 16th and finished with a time of 2h 15 min. I remember the last 3 miles where SO tough (the race used mile banners but I train in km) but I had so much fun. Yesterday I ran my second event but it was just a 5k fun run, the Santa shuffle and everyone was dressed up. My finish time was 32 min but my fastest 5k in training has been 24 min. :)

    4.5 with my daughter. She is 20 and wanted 5 miles. I took her on one of my favorite trail runs. Hills, hills and more Oregon hills :) She was totally fine stopping at 4.5... Love me a hill!

    2.5 miles today, I'm working on doing low heart rate running. Keeping my heart rate below 134 and running slow is so much harder than smashing out a 5k in 20 odd minutes.

    My marathon training schedule will commence on 1/4/2017 for 16 weeks. Yes, I had ran marathons before - 6 of them (OH, MO, TN, AR) but the difference is I'm following a schedule training regiment. This regiment includes diet, cardio, running, and weight lifting. In the past, I ate and trained when wanting to (bad decision and I wish you to not do that) and I didn't do badly at all (never placed in an AG award) but still I finished. My point is, I'm shooting for a specific time and I already have the marathon in sight (April). I'm no natural runner. Not a superstar.

    9.4 miles, 1hr 35min, 10min pace per mile. Goal was to run slow and longer.

    That is a good pace for nearly 10 miles.

    I completed my first half marathon yesterday. I had two goals--run the whole way and finish in under 2 hours and 30 minutes. I met both goals. Two years ago I was one of those "I'll only run if a bear is chasing me," people. 0syps9xcrfwy.jpg

    Good job and congratulations.

    I did 4.5M this morning before the rain set in. Took it slow as I'm still recovering from a hip injury- gets stiff easily but DR and PT said it's OK to run. 9:23/mile. I'm increasing my distance .5M every 3 weeks to hit 10K and then will add in some interval training. Before my injury last year, I was running about 40-45M per week. I can't get over how good it feels to be out there doing what I missed so much. The scale is also very happy, and so are my clothes.

    That's great that you are now able to get back to it!!

    Easy 5km this morning in freshly fallen snow, I was thinking of blowing off my run & just rowing (you could see the icy patches on the road in front of my house) but sucked it up and got to enjoy this....

    I took the day off from running. After running every day for the last couple weeks, and logging 39 miles last week alone, my legs were getting progressively more sore so I felt I needed a day of just rest. Part of my brain is saying "look at all the miles youre missing out on" but it sure felt good to sleep another hour this morning. When I did get up, the temps were freezing and the wind was howling so it would have been very unpleasant run anyway.
