My legs were a little tired this morning so I thought I'd just do 4, I ended up doing 5 and decided to try and pick my pace up. I used to be a pretty consistent 10 min miler, how I'm like closer to 13 don't know why. Ended up with a 11:52 pace so I was happy with that.

Joined a gym last weekend and I've been enjoying trying out some of the equipment this week. Today, I did rowing, biking, and then a run/walk. My quads are still angry from last Saturday's track and field, but they are getting better. I'm trying to keep active without pushing too hard. I broke down and ordered a foot pod. Hope it works well!
Today: 2.46 miles on treadmill
MTD: 32.02 / 50 miles5 -
@PastorVincent Running with your son is like running with Skip LOL I was so proud of your son and wife getting over that wall. I loved that they never gave up. Lots of need obstacles. Your wife looked like she couldn’t wait to get to the vehicle fire! Love the slip and slide thing ha ha too funny, your gopro was like being in a car wash. It was wild how awful the day started and then it got so nice out. Great video!!!
@HonuNui love the collage

Thanks, @skippygirlsmom and @PastorVincent, for the pace group feedback - I signed up. I might try a short run tomorrow morning and see if I can get back into training. Three weeks from Sunday so not much time!4

@PastorVincent Neat video. Couldn't watch it all at work but cool
@HonuNui Love your collage!
@RunRachelleRun Nice workouts. Good luck with the foot pod.
@cburke8909 I hope the leg issue is a tear and not a bloodclot????? But I wish it was neither
I'm still trying to get over the sickness and each day is different. Today's issue is that pressure builds up in my ears and my head starts to really hurt until the pressure released. Aargh. My throat is better though.
I should check where I am for mileage this month. Probably way behind! Um yep. I've ran Oct 2, 3, 6,7, 10,16 for a total of 15 miles. I took a huge hit last weekend with being sick and hurting my back.1 -
@PastorVincent love the video. Looks like a fun challenge.0

I had a wonderful run at lunch today. I ran faster than yesterday and was able to get 3.3 miles in. I would have liked to run further, but I had to get back to work. I both love and hate running during lunch. I love it because I usually feel really good afterward and on days like today it was still in the 70's at lunch, but by afternoon it will be ~85F. And while I love to run after work I sometimes feel like my husband is waiting on me or I need to run errands. The bad thing about running at lunch though is I have a limited amount of time to run so my runs usually end up being shorter. And I still haven't gotten quick enough at changing in and out of my running gear.
@HonuNui Thanks for posting the collage!

My body must be trying to catch up on sleep/rest before Saturday. I got over 9 hours of sleep last night and fell asleep for an afternoon nap today2

That's a possibility, but I'm thinking that it's just high stress job + Taper + not enough sleep the last week = more sleeping today.1 -

Sounds like your body has caught up with the idea that it's allowed to rest. I would take that as a positive sign!0 -
Thanks @greenolivetree Sorry you are still under the weather. Sinus pain is the worst. Hope it goes away soon!0
