    Ran with the running group today at the YMCA. Ran with another person and we took it pretty slow which I was fine with. It was hot and my hip was quite sore.

    I'm happy that I'm not sore or stiff from running the half marathon- I guess the training plan really prepared me!

    My referral finally went through and my first PT appointment is Tuesday! I'm really looking forward to fixing my hip pain and running pain free.

    Random question for the group. My custom jersey/singlet, which I thought would be arriving late next week, is scheduled to arrive Monday. I REALLY want to be able to wear it at the marathon.

    So here is my question, do you think my 5 miler on Wednesday will be long enough to figure out if I like how it wears? I have a different shirt that's G2G, but having a custom one, with my name on the back would be super sweet for marathon day....but not at the expense of performance.

    @MNLittleFinn - Yes, 5 miles is long enough that any major problems with a shirt should be apparent. Most likely, this will be a non-issue; but it's good to wear the new shirt for that 5 mile run just to be sure.

    @shanaber Orphia posted a link to a shirt she designed that we can order and have shipped directly. It was 25$.

    I love the shorts. I can't wait to loss a few more pounds and run shirtless in them :wink:

    Thanks. My normal thinking told me that, but being tapering..... I'm questioning everything I think.....lol....HM taper wasn't nearly so bad.

    @Sliedur - The phone shot is Garmin Connect. It imports data from the watch via Bluetooth, or indirectly from the cloud if the watch updates to the computer first.

    Hit up the trails for 10 miles with a friend this morning which was nice, but I was still a bit sluggish.

    6/1 - 2 miles
    6/3 - 3.5 miles
    6/4 - 13 miles (1:36 run @ IM Raleigh 70.3)
    6/6 - 3 miles
    6/7 - 7 miles
    6/8 - 3.5 miles (post ride)
    6/10 - 10 miles

    Total: 41 miles
    Goal: 180 miles
    Remaining: 139 miles

    2017 Race Schedule:
    1/29 - Chilly Willy Duathlon (1:07:48 - 20:05 1st 5K/21:16 2nd 5K - 1st AG, 3rd Amateur)

    8/25 - Ironman Coeur D'Alene
    9/10 - Ironman 70.3 World Championships

    @MNLittleFinn - only used my gear bag twice for a marathon & more often for triathlons - I think I had some warm clothes (shed before the start), a cell phone (to check my & friend's times/sync with friends), and a few bucks/bus card for getting a snack & going home after. Just make sure the sticker with your number is on securely.

    They're both made of moisture-wicking fabric. Not sure if you can edit the colours.

    I get the minimum royalty per T-shirt I could set (5%) in the store, which works out at less than 90c per shirt.

    @MobyCarp awesome pics. When we were in Savannah GA, we were told that the cemeteries should be treated as parks. They welcomed picnicks, running, ect. Which is cool. I never thought not to use them as parks though, especially the old historic ones.

    Today's notes: Rest day today so, of course, I couldn't sleep this morning. I woke up with the horrible dreading feeling that I didn't really want to run my 9 mile FFLR.... Then I remembered today was Sunday, and I ran that run yesterday with no rel issues.... LOL.... That counts as a taper issue, right?
    ....

    2017 Races Scheduled
    6/16- William A Irvin 5k
    6/17- Grandma's Marathon (Full!)
    8/19- Rampage at the Ridge 5k OCR

    10/21 Wild Duluth 50k
    11/23- TBD 5k Turkey Trot

    Possible? 2017 Races
    7/15- Eugene Curnow Trail Marathon

    @Ohhim Thanks for the input on gear bags. My basic thought was dry clothes (shorts/shirt) sandals, and phone. I don't normally carry cash, but I was thinking, since I've done it on Long Runs, carry a CC and my DL in the back pocket on my shorts, so I have something with me at the finish, but I don't have to worry about losing it.

    @VydorScope If Philly 2018 is your next marathon, that's tons of time. You're looking at dropping 37sec/mile in that time from your marathon time. I'd say that's doable, but I'll be running my first full in 6 days, so I'm not the most knowledgeable.... Welcome!

    Today's easy 4.5 mile run was at my adjusted HR levels, resulting in an overall slower pace, and more frequent walking, but it went well and the average pace doesn't look too terrible given the temps outside today.

    I still have a lot of changes to make, I noticed after my run that the reported HR zones on Garmin Connect were based on my old ones, so all of the HR based data on todays run is basically wrong. Strava and Sport Tracks will also need updating.

    Yesterday I took an unscheduled rest day since I realized I had been training too hard for several weeks, and also because of the maximum effort sprint intervals I had done recently. I slept in the last two nights, getting some amazing deep sleep, and this morning I read my resting HR for the first time in a few weeks. It was right on target at my normal 48bpm for my fully rested resting HR. That was reassuring. :smile:

    So as for a target 5k event 6 weeks from now, it just so happens that the San Francisco Half Marathon is 6 weeks from today. I don't plan to try and race that one, I want to enjoy the scenery and take it all in. I signed up for a 5k the weekend before that on Saturday 7/15, so my target race is 5 weeks out. I also signed up for another 5k on Independence Day 7/4 because it is practically in my backyard, I've run it every year since I learned about it, and it can serve as a practice race.

    6/1 - rest
    6/2 - 3.1 miles
    6/3 - 13.1 miles
    6/4 - 4.5 miles
    6/5 - 9 miles
    6/6 - 4.5 miles
    6/7 - 6 miles
    6/8 - rest
    6/9 - 8.5 miles
    6/10 - rest
    6/11 - 4.5 miles

    53.2 of 170 miles completed
