    After work run with Stella. Roads were clear and it wasn't terribly cold. I'm starting to notice it is still light at little after 5 pm though so it's giving me hope for after work runs that aren't in the dark. Looking forward to that!

    @lporter229 that is insane! @kristinegift so true, be happy with what you do @mobycarp Skip and I always double check our bibs since we pick them up at the same time. I ran a 5K where a girl gave her bib to a guy. The timer knew the girl who finished first from other races so knew the other "girl" did finish first.

    LSD today, no not the 60's / 70's LSD.
    18 km in 2:10:46. I was supposed to get this run in last week as part of my HM Training put as they say - Life Happens. Need to get one more LSD in before my HM on Feb 5, aptly called the Chilly Willy.
    I was expecting it to be a case of Embrace the Suck but it wasn't that bad. Especially considering that as part of the Tri-Athlon-Swim club we did a double time trial today at noon. 750m x 2 ; 18:17 and 18:21. So I was happy considering how small the pace difference was. I didn't hit MP but kept a nice constant pace that gives me that confidence boost before the event. The way I felt last week a drop to 10km was looking like a wise choice.

    01/04 8.0 km –8.0km –132.0 km – YTD 8 km
    01/06 7.0 km –15.0km –125.0 km
    01/07 8.0 km –23.0km –117.0 km
    01/08 6.0 km –29.0km –111.0 km
    01/13 12.0 km –41.0km –99.0 km
    01/14 10.5 km –51.5km –88.5 km
    01/16 8.0 km –59.5km –80.5 km
    01/20 11.0 km –70.5km –69.5 km
    01/21 11.0 km –81.5km –58.5 km
    01/22 4.0 km –85.5km –54.5 km
    01/25 18.0 km –103.5km –36.5 km YTD 103.5

    @RespectTheKitty I took a similar medication for a while that had a sedative effect, and to get out there and do any exercise, coffee will be your new BFF!

    I used to be super addicted to coffee. I managed to quit drinking it in favor of tea, but I have a feeling I'll be downing a latte or two in the first few weeks of this new med. :smile:

    @RespectTheKitty Good luck with the new prescription.

    Been reading the recent National Geographic article about Faith, Placebos, and Healing.

    http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2016/12/healing-science-belief-placebo/

    There's a lot in it about how expectations of an effect can cause the brain/body to produce hormones that create the effect.

    This can work for better or worse.

    That's not to say medications still have an actual effect, they do, but how we feel can be a very powerful thing.

    I just had a thought that expecting to feel sedated might make you feel more sedated. Though it's good to be prepared. Again, good luck.

    Still not recovered from my cold so ditched my plans for a long run in favour of a lie-in which also means today I officially ditch my (admittedly super-ambitious) plans for a March marathon having delayed my decision as long as I could :(

    Also ditching my 300k January target. Even 200k will be a stretch unless I can find a way to get out for a run this weekend, (my daughter is with me). The original target was a stretch anyway, and based off 5 long runs this month but looks like it's just going to be one!

    Anyway, for now I'm just waiting for lunch time to head to a spin class to try to lift my mood and will try to get out for 10k later if my legs are up to it after spinning. Will take it easy this weekend then next week have a rethink about my race goals for the year.

    Edit: Just went online to check there's space for spin only to find out it's 12:10 rather than 1:10 so have missed the class. Every other day the lunch time class is 1:10pm! Definitely not helping my mood.

    @skippygirlsmom - very interesting article. It's bad enough that one person would cheat to get a BQ, but a man and his wife?! I hope they don't have kids! Hey kids ... you have to write a paper for school? Let us show you how to cheat! Oh, you have a test to take? No need to study! Let us show you how to cheat!
    Then later when the kids lie to their parents about something ... "how dare you lie to us?!"

    @lporter229 - "because it gave her a feeling of self worth to post her time on social media"! What is this world coming to? lol

    Yesterday morning my run was fine, no problems. But during the day yesterday I started having random pain in one knee while walking. :scream: I am hoping it was the shoes I was wearing during the day, some clogs I haven't worn in a while. So far today, okay. I am supposed to go to strength training after work for a tough workout. I am going to see how it is during the day today and if it hurts I am not going to go. Which I hate... two rest days in a week ... but don't want to get hurt worse.

    1/1 - rest day (recovering from stomach virus)
    1/2 - 40 mile bike ride
    1/3 - 4 miles
    1/4 - 4.1 miles
    1/5 - rest day
    1/6 - 5 miles
    1/7 - 4 miles
    1/8 - 5 miles
    1/9 - 4 miles
    1/10 - 4.1
    1/11 - rest day
    1/12 - 4.1
    1/13 - 4.0
    1/14 - 34 miles biking
    1/15 - 56 miles biking - hills! felt like 100 miles
    1/16 - 4 miles + strength training
    1/17 - 4 miles + neuromuscular activation (lol)
    1/18 - Strength training
    1/19 - 3.77 miles
    1/20 - strength training
    1/21 - 34 miles biking
    1/22 - 11.2 miles

    8.1 miles last night. My streak of running in shorts came to an end. The temp was right for it, 32F, but the wind was gusting up to 16mph so I opted for tights and two upper layers.

    It wasn't a particularly good run. Heavy legs, tight calf muscle, and an odd feeling behind my right Achilles all conspired against me so I skipped the strides I was going to do and just ran. I'll be foam rollin' for the next few days, hoping my calf improves. If Saturday it feels like it did last night, my half will be a training run.

    Total: 79.92

    Monthly goal: stay healthy and continue base building to start marathon training at the end of the month.
    Nominal mileage goal: 70 (revised down after injury).

    Today's notes: Just doing IT Band rehab stuff plus stretching and calf raises today. It was an OPTIONAL XT day, but with my leg feeling like it is, I am playing it somewhat safe and using the optional days as rest days. Running 5 days a week is different after getting used to running 6, but sleeping in until 0545 is kind of nice.

    Leg still feels off today, those random pains on the back/side of my shin bone, plus the stiffness, are annoying. I'm going to make an effort to keep moving on this rest day, and to do a bunch of calf raises to see if that helps too. Will also be making an appointment for PT for next week as a just in case. He's my first go to for leg issues and he'll refer me back to my GP if he thinks that's warranted.

    Double whammy with the weather this morning. I had originally intended to cross the road and run along a ridge through the adjacent subdivision, which is a new favorite route of mine (once I make it across the busy road in the morning). But when I took the dog out for her walk at 6AM and saw how windy it was, I decided to change plans and stay in the boring hills and valleys of my subdivision, which would ultimately result in way less time running into a head wind. Glad I made this choice too, because about a mile into the run I was treated with an onslaught of ice pellets. I arrived back at the house after 3.7 miles and grabbed Stella to finish out with 5, but she was feeling rambunctious, or maybe anxious from the weather, so we ended up calling it quits after 4.7. Glad it was a scheduled easy day. Now I am sitting in my warm office with my second cup of coffee.

    Yesterday was 4.3 miles with a feeble attempt at a fartlek run. The lady on the treadmill next to me was wearing strong perfume, and it was almost offensive. Who wears perfume to the gym???

    Routine check-up with the lady doc tonight, so no running. I am taking tomorrow off from work because reasons, so I will have some time during the day to have a nice outdoor run (assuming it's not snowmageddon out there).

    My total for the month of January so far = 71 miles.

    Thanks. I'm about 10 years behind you (34 as of today), but have taken a lot of abuse from soccer. It's never severe pain, just nagging a lot.

    Happy Belated Birthday!

    @ddmom0811 you are so right on the cheating thing. As far as your knee you are entering the time of "getting close the HM so things hurt" :smile: seriously hope it feels better soon
    @MNlittlefinn happy birthday - geez I have shoes older than you :smile:
    @respectthekitty I hate that. Skip has asthma and sometimes she has to move away to the other side of the gym. I usually smell like skunk at the gym ha ha.
    @kristinegift sorry the legs weren't agreeing with you today
    @7lenny7 hope the calf is feeling better
    @lporter229 I'm with Stella I wouldn't be happy with ice pellets either :wink:

    Decided to take a rest day today since my hip was a little sore. I got up at 3:00 and it was feeling okay, but thought I'd let it have some rest and set the alarm for 6:30 :smile:

    Endomondo. (it had the most concise monthly calendar view of all the sites I have pull Garmin data). I like them mainly for the custom training programs and PR graphs.

    Frustrating day today - after giving up on long run this morning, found out too late time of spin class changed so missed that. Thought I'd do lunch time run instead but only realised after I'd changed that had forgotten my gloves. Given it was -1C with a pretty deadly windchill no way I was going out in that, so went for a treadmill and strength session. Wasn't feeling it on the treadmill so just an easy 3.2k today before I gave in to boredom and did my strength session. (Felt a bit better after that so did a session on the bike to make up for missed spin class though)

    First run after almost 2 weeks of illness and I felt really good. Unfortunately there is no way I will make my monthly goal. Oh well there is always next month.

    I was looking at training plans for my half and since I tend to run/walk I was checking out Jeff Galloway. His beginner plan is 2 - 30 minute runs each week and long runs that increase about a mile each week with a few cut back weeks. This doesn't look like enough miles during the week to avoid injury for the increased mileage in the long runs. My plan is to get my Monday runs to 5 miles, Wednesday to 5-7 miles and Saturday as my long run day. Right now I am fit enough for 3 miles on Monday, 5 on Wednesday and 5 on Saturday slowly increasing mileage and still run/walking. Thoughts?

    Date. Run. MTD
    1/2 - 2 miles - 2 miles
    1/4 - 4 miles - 6 miles
    1/7 - 3.6 miles - 9.6 miles
    1/13- 2.5 miles - 12.1 miles
    1/16- 5.0 miles - 17.1 miles
    1/26- 2.0 miles - 19.1 miles

    5/21 Cleveland Marathon Half
    6/11 Run and Ride Cedar Point Half (back up plan) otherwise...
    6/10-11 Run and Ride Cedar Point 5k and 10k
