GoaD on the Run - Friday 10/14 et seq.

Calvin2008Brian

This thread is for GOADies who like to run. New runners, old runners, and even wannabe runners meet here to discuss the joys and challenges of running. Use this space to log your miles, ask questions, share your race reports, or for anything else related to running.

New runners - and even those just thinking about starting out - are always welcome. There's no reason to lurk here. Join the pack and tell us about your running!

Oftentimes the GotR thread will pose a question or raise an issue in order to facilitate the conversation, but this is always an open forum to chat about any running-related topic.

Today's topic: October is almost half over (!?!). How is your training going? Any fall races yet to run?

I am scheduled to run a half next Saturday 22nd. I'm fighting a head cold but don't want to miss my last Saturday training run. Due to tapering I only need to run 8 miles tomorrow.

I had a nice morning run yesterday. I was traveling for work (to Bemidji, MN) and took the opportunity to run in a new place. I'll see if I can attach a picture.

4 or 5 on the schedule for tomorrow. It's not out of the question that I could sneak in a gym workout this evening as I missed a couple of those early in the week.

I had my eye on a small 10K this weekend, but I'm thinking now I'll let that one go. I'll possibly do a Thanksgiving Day 5K, but no other races on my near-term agenda. Aiming more at a slow build up to the half in January.

@Calvin2008Brian - Hah! I've been through Bemidji as a kid and saw Paul and his big blue ox!

Des Plaines River Trails marathon for me tomorrow. We will see how this goes since the longest I've run since my bike crash was the 1/2 marathon 2 weeks ago.

No running since last Saturday despite best intentions and coupled with some unhealthy eating. I will run at some point Saturday or Sunday as I get back into normal life.
