Runners- share your run!

Did 5 miles today and kept it slow. Had tummy troubles, then I was hot and then cold and then hot. And my legs were tired. And then my GPS chimed in 5 miles and it felt glorious to be done. Paced over 9 minutes a mile, but I am recovering from a cold and I still have a nasty cough. Supposed to do 9 miles tomorrow. That may result in death, so I might decide to ride instead for approximately the same amount of time.

Did a slow 8 miles today. Felt great throughout except I was starting to get cold as the temperatures dropped about 10 degrees and my hands despite gloves become ice cubes. Tomorrow will be a very long day at work so I'm glad I got my long run done today. I still feel a little on the sick side, but definitely on the mend.

3.5 miles in 80 degree weather. Hope this warms you cold weather runners.

@bigmanatee, 80 degrees is far to warm to run... I'll be doing it again in the morning if anyone wants to come and join me!!

I hate you, LOL

Endomondo interval training based on C25K, 2.9 km in 25 minutes here. On a treadmill, it's too cold to run outside (I could do it but don't have great cold weather gear). Part of that was a 10 minute warmup/cooldown so it's not as slow as it seems, I averaged about 8:00 min/km on the running segments.

3 miles in the snow. Made me slow as hell but was a great cushion on my joints. Windchill of 9 degrees. Happy winter running!

Okay, after seeing the eyesicles you've got going on there, I'm no longer going to stress about having to run 11 miles tomorrow in 45 degree weather. (I'm Floridian)

A good 6miles today. Wasn't expecting quite so many muddy puddles on the tow path, have up leaping round them and just accepted the wet feet/muddy shoes instead. Was running faster than I should be, need to make myself slow down so I can up the distance better.

You're braver than me. I was going to go outside, but it's been snowing steadily for quite a few hours now (I'm in MA) so I wimped out and did 10k on the treadmill instead.

shagerty777

I wimped out this morning, the streets were pretty slick from what little snow we have so I did 5 miles on the treadmill this morning. It was 3 degrees outside and now they are saying it's going to be 60 degrees Monday...

this is a non-run post. I set my alarm and got up at 4:45 to run before work, but then went back to bed. The 0 degree temp wasn't bothering me, it was all of yesterday's snow melting in the sun and then re-freezing during the night. If I fell and broke something, I'd be a loss worse off than missing one day of running. Got a 10 miler tomorrow so not stressing about missing a few miles today.

@mommarnurse LOL at "eyesicles". I gotta remember that one.

Silverfiend - I get icicles in my hair, but I've never been cold enough to get them in my eyelashes!

I did my 16 mile long run this afternoon - 20 degrees felt like 14, but it wasn't bad because most of the run was away from the wind.

Amyrebecca - do you live in Miami?

spiriteagle99

8.4 mile MP run in "feels like' 1 degree. Only the last mile into the wind was really uncomfortable. I won't be in a hurry to do that again.

Jpedno

5 miles/8k today in 20 degrees (Fahrenheit) with the sun shining and snow still on the ground. 11:15 pace which is pretty good for me!

jennypapage

Next week i'll finally hit my 10k goal. yay!

Charlene_1985

Did 5 miles on the treadmill yesterday. Cleaning lady comes in 12 minutes and I need to figure out if I'm going to get dressed for an outside run or a treadmill run.

FatMoojor

Got out for a run with a few people from the office today, we have started up a bit of a running club here for people of different abilities.

I managed to put in a 23 min 5k. Happy with that because I totally failed at my long run on Sunday, ended up calling it a day at 10 miles after 2 hours because I was just not feeling the love!

Charlene_1985

Fell off the wagon with posting about runs. Here they are since my last post.

jennypapage

5k in a little over 39 minutes. finally broke the 40' barrier and i couldn't be happier.

BruinsGal_91

Picking up my number tonight for Sunday's 10k. Being nosy I thought I check out last year's results for the race and I was horrified. I'm normally middle of the pack overall, and top third in my age-group, but looking at the times it was clear that I'd be coming in pretty much last. Then I took a closer look and thought, hang on, these are close to Olympic qualifying times, what the hell have I entered? Then I took an even closer look and realised that the race had been shortened to 5 miles rather than the full 6.2 miles because of snow on the course. Such a relief!

Just over 4 miles this morning. Slow but doing hill training in the Colorado foothills. Elevation gain 615 ft.

Yesterday I did 13.2 in dense fog. It was a bit scary running on winding rural roads when I couldn't see or be seen at any distance. A surprising number of cars had no lights on. I was tired from my runs in the days before (5.5 mile fartlek run, 9 mile marathon pace run) so I was very glad it was a cutback week. This was not a good day for a 3 hour run.

smileymaxine

15km easy 6:05km pace slowly upping the kilometers till marathon time.
Was great today only -2 today so didn't fall over on ice again

sbrandt37

I started C25K in mid-December after 18 months on an elliptical. I ditched it after a few weeks and just started running. I did my 8th run of 3+ miles yesterday, bringing my weekly total to >10 miles. A friend just invited me to run a 10K race with her in April. Time to get serious!

BruinsGal_91

Finished my 10k road race in 1:00:13. The route was lovely taking runners through a pretty neighbourhood and round a lake. And perfect running conditions for me because I always run better when it's cold.

BruinsGal_91

Apologies for reviving an oldish thread, but I'm still absolutely high from a 5k road race I did recently. One of my goals this year was to be placed in my age group. I've come close (a 4th and a 5th place last year), but I've finally managed it. And you'd better believe that beer does taste even sweeter in that 'top finisher' koozie.
