    Gonna catch up later, off to zumba, and then a full day of being social ahead, lol. Gonna be exhausted by the end, lmao. Yesterday was 6 uneventful miles and a lifting session. Really happy that I've finally gotten back to lifting, I do feel it helping my running, and I think it will aid in injury prevention. Happy Saturday everyone!

    The sun is out! The sun is out! Such a beautiful morning. Still a bit cold but warming up fast and can't beat the feeling of the sun on your face after the weeks of cold and gray. Nice long run today but lots of hills so it was on the slower side. Good company though and people were super cheerful with the weather improvement. A little refuel here and then I'm out with Stella for some hiking as she really needs some sun and exercise too.

    Have a great Saturday everyone.

    It's been awhile since I posted mileage. The month is progressing fairly well, tho I will admit that I feel more tired than 77% complete somehow. I'm not actually tired, since I just got up from a nap after my race this morning, but still, it seems like there's more miles left than month - tho 39 miles in 8 days is a cake-walk.

    I have the Cantrell listed as a race, but it won't be - I'm actually pacing my sister-in-law on her first 5K (for which she hasn't actually prepared, but we were just gonna walk/maybe-run-a-little anyway. I'm a little more focused on the HM the following weekend.

    Yes - I managed 2 AG places in the last 2 weeks but it's really nothing to write home about: they were very small races. I quipped to someone today, "That's why I've moved up to longer distance races: there's fewer folks so I can rank better!"

    Upcoming Races:
    25-Feb: Cantrell 5K, WR (*)
    04-Mar: Albany/Snickers HM, Albany
    11-Mar: Peach Road Race 10.5K, Byron (*)

    2/18 7.1r 0.75w (so far)
    Total so far = 93.5r + 68.1w = 161.6 miles

    This week's running total is 37.95 miles. I just didn't have it in me to go for 10+ today. I started out on my long run route, but seriously bonked at just before 4 miles. I ate my sport beans, and they are probably what helped me turn around and get back home, LOL. I just didn't have the energy today, even though it was a gorgeous sunny day of 68F.

    Of course, the nice weather brought out all the fair weather exercisers to the Prairie Path, so I was dodging and passing left and right. That may be why I bonked early. I was just going too fast with all the passing around walkers I was doing. At one point I looked at my Garmin and it said 7:55 pace! What! I was literally sprinting in places, it seems. So, lesson learned. Do not go great guns if you want to make it past 7 miles.

    Also, I think I need a new route. I'm not in a good enough place mentally to be dealing with all the other people on the Path.

    Anyone have any tips advice on outer knee pain while running? I've been looking it up to see what it could be, in guessing maybe IT band. Let me know if anyone has experienced this type of knee pain and how you dealt with it. Thanks!

    I bought a yoga for runners as a Christmas present to myself. I'm go glad that I did. The drive home was so much better. I'm not so stiff in my hips. Ten miles away from my goal. Whoop whoop!

    16 km in 1:46:24 with 3 of the ladies in our local club.
    What we call the Manzer Route :) , 6 km uphill, 4 km loop on top, 6 km back down the same route.
    Because of the Hill's and Walk breaks every 3 km our pace was all over the place.
    You can tell that km 3, 4 and 6 were the steepest part of the climb from the pace.

    My pace Avged out to 6:39/km, but I Bonked :/ really bad for the last 3 km. You will see that on the Steepest part of the Downhill we had a 5:43 @ Km 11 and 5:44 @ km 13 {before and after a walk break} and that is when I bonked out. The ladies ran away from me but I was okay with that because I know - cause and effect. We actually had a short period at 5:20/km on the steepest section.
    1. 6:22
    2. 6:27
    3. 7:04
    4. 7:25
    5. 6:19
    6. 7:32
    7. 6:09
    8. 7:16
    9. 6.09
    10. 7:01
    11. 5:43
    12. 6:43
    13. 5:44
    14. 6:58
    15. 6:51
    16. 6:40

    Still it was a good day with good company. Ironically all of the ladies are also part of out local Adult Swim Club so between the two clubs we see each other 4-6 times a week, more than you actually realize until you start thinking about it.

    02/05 21.2 km –21.2km –118.8 km – YTD 141.3 – Chilly Willy HM PB@ 2:12:36
    02/06 3.0 km –24.2km –115.8 km – YTD 144.3
    02/11 3.0 km –27.2km –112.8 km – YTD 147.3
    02/13 5.25 km –32.42km –107.55 km – YTD 152.55
    02/18 16. km –48.42km –91.55 km – YTD 168.55 – 16 km Manzer Route

    10 days left and 91.5 km to reach monthly goal. I will lose 3 days to Swim Club so need to avg close to 14km per run day, have to really get moving.

    You got 40? Heck, you're only one 22 mile long run away from 62! :D

    More seriously, I'm on an aggressive training plan. The miles are scaled down from a stated peak of 75 to a peak of 62 because I didn't go into the structured training with as strong a base as is assumed. Last year, I was closer and peaked out with a 68 mile week..

    But this isn't my first marathon. Before my first marathon, I peaked with a 41 mile week including a 22 mile long run. Yeah, not the way you're supposed to train for a marathon; but I didn't realize at the time that I would run Buffalo. I thought I was only staying in shape to run 5 halfs that year.

    I remembered to try my new shoes today. Sadly, the right shoe is a *little* too short. I will lose a toenail if I am not careful. They may be 5k race shoes. They are ridiculously light, at 2.2 ounces. For the pair. I might need to order the next half size up, and see if that works. Or modify the toe of the right shoe to ease up on my toenail.

    Looking at Strava, it says I had my fastest mile ever at 10:04. Also a 5k PR of 32:34. Yeah, I was definitely going fast. :smile:

    Yay, @RespectTheKitty ! Good job.

    @MNLittleFinn Bravo on your 15 mile distance PB! You must be so happy!

    @Stoshew71 Yay, Stan! Awesome race result! Love how you wore the group T-shirt! :smile:

    LOL...I guess I better go run a 22 after tomorrow's scheduled 4 miler, so I can get my 62 in.... B)

    My plan tops out at 52 miles with a 20 mile LR. I know, I know, it breaks the 25-35% rule, but I'm comfortable with that as it's my first marathon training cycle, and I'm using it as a learning experience.

    I should add one caveat though, If I get to week 16 or so and am still 2 weeks ahead of schedule, I may have a week with a 22 miler when I fill in those 2 extra weeks.

    Got my 3 mile run in around noon, with 4 trips up the 1/3 mile hill. Also walked 2 miles and did 15 min lower body exercises. Then my allergies went NUTS. Just getting over a cold and now I'm sneezing my head off, eyes watering, and once again blowing my nose every minute. It was a warm run at 65 degrees and I see the stinky Bradford pear trees are getting ready to bloom. Spring is here I think. I could try to avoid the heat by running early morning but I think I'll just go ahead and start heat acclimation! Tomorrow will be 70s.
