March mileage goal: ??
My actual goal: To run at least once outside every day. My goal also is to enjoy this last high school track season and not worry about performance - instead I am going to focus on staying positive and enjoying the experience!
Track is starting on the 12th and I am feeling so pumped! Stupid phone hasn't been properly tracking my outdoor runs, so I kind of gave up on logging my miles from February. I'll have to start planning my routes ahead of time to know my distance. Then once I figure out what's messing up my tracker I can start to see my pace. The last run I went on a couple of days ago (when my phone was actually working) was at 6:30 pace! That's a big improvement compared to 12:30 that I was doing on the treadmill only a month ago!9 -

@KatieJane83 and @PastorVincent A little late but the download site shows it as Battery %
Thanks! but we were not talking about the battery %. I was referring to the one thing on that image that is NOT labeled.
Which is 1.5 in that image. But we figured it out it is the STEPS converted to MILES.
I think thats miles.

March goal: Run END-SURE well, stay healthy and enter the final stages of Zumbro training
Nominal mileage goal: Let's say 140? I really don't know. Real plan is to follow training and coach's advice well.
3/1- REST
3/2- 4.3
Total:
Today's notes: 4.3 trail miles in 45 minutes. Snow was nice and compact, making for pretty fast running for me on trail. There's a 8, 25 and 50k nordic ski race at my normal running grounds tomorrow, so I'll have to switch up how/when I do my 3 hour run.
2018 races
3/24- END-SURE 50k
4/13- Zumbro Endurance Race 100 Mile
7/28- Minnesota Voyageur 50
9/8- Superior Trail 50 mile
10/20- Wild Duluth 50k

Thanks @Teresa502 - I knew about the issues on planes with phones but never correlated it to the small little batteries like for the HRM. Good news though - they arrived this morning in time for my run! Oh and in a large box with the lithium battery alert, etc. on the side!Also I ordered batteries on Amazon for my HRM. For whatever reason they are taking forever to get here (seems they are coming by slow truck from Kentucky). I don't understand why they wouldn't have just slipped them in an envelope and mailed them.
We received a notice at work that our mailroom will no longer ship packages containing lithium batteries even if they are in a device such as an iPad, computer, phone, etc. The explanation was:
"Lithium batteries are considered Dangerous Goods in transportation and require special packaging, labeling, marking and training for those who prepare them for shipment. Lithium batteries present an increasing hazard in transportation, especially when shipped by plane. Thus, shipping regulations are more stringent, carriers are more diligent in inspections and fines are increasing for violations, especially when lithium batteries are not declared in the package. "
My new laces arrived too, each in a separate large package - seems like the packaging costs as much as the items but you gotta love Amazon!

Actually, amazon has a plan with the box sizes and stuff. They optimize space in their vehicles, which saves money. Or something like that. I read an article a few weeks ago about it because I was always like why do I get this huge box for a little thing?1 -
@PastorVincent my husband and I went to Red Robin for lunch today. I thought of your fondness for the place as I was scarfing down the yummy fries 1

Or use it as resistance for a great workout. Make tomorrow a breeze...lol5 -
Hi everyone,
I am going to try again for 40 miles this month. I fell short in February due to getting sick the last 2 weeks of February (sinus infection). I also feel deconditioned due to not being able to run very much in January or February. Very sad due to having weather in the 50's and 60's but not able to take advantage of it.
Good start this month. Ran 4 miles in somewhat colder weather, 46 degrees with a wind chill of 36. I had a nagging ache in right hip which persisted throughout much of the run. Ran approximately 13 minute miles.
3/1....4 miles
Goal is 40 miles.11 -
My goal for March is 50 miles.
Total thus far: 2.58 -
Date Miles today - Miles for March
3/1 8 miles - 8
3/2 3.1 miles - 11.1
Upcoming races:
Oak Barrel Half Marathon - 4/7/18

03/01/18 - Rest
03/01/18 - 8 miles @ 8:51
Big Hairy Audacious Goal: Sub 4 hours in Pittsburgh 2018!
Official Marathon PR: 4:11:28
Next Races (more as I find them):
03/17/18 - Shamrock Shuffle Half Marathon + 5k + 1mile
04/07/18 - Achilles 9.3 Challange (10k and 5k back to back)
05/06/18 - Pittsburgh Marathon - aiming for sub four hours.
05/12/18 - Glacier Ridge 50k Trail Ultra (I must hate myself)
2020 - Disney World Dopey! (if can raise funds)
Wow was windy out there! It was warm enough (up 30's) and sunny enough that when the wind paused I would get hot, start to sweat, but then the wind would kick up (20-30mph steady winds was the prediction) and I would get cold. So kept going back and forth between cold and hot. Gave up at 8 miles and came in - but mainly because of time. Forgot I had dinner plans tonight! Heh.
Was annoying since a couple miles was into the 30-mile hour wind. Felt like I was running under water! LOL Still managed an 8:51 somehow.6 -
Day 2. I seem to do better during a free run than I do in intervals with C25K. To be fair, I do start the clock during the 5 minute walking warmup so that messes up my pace.
2.4 miles tonight - 5/62 miles accumulated
Upcoming races:
Orphan Run 4 Hope 5K - April 14
Spartan Sprint - December 9

3/1-2.5 miles

Yeesh my lungs aren’t catching up real well to this running again idea.10 -

Yes, yes it is. Will do very good things for my attitude in general as well.
I’m hoping heavy squats and deadlifts and other lifting that have happened during my hiatus will make that curve a little sharper than it would have been otherwise, also.5 -
5 miles today. Longest I've gone in a real long time.
You know that feeling when you're running, and you just get in a zone and everything is locked in and you feel like you could just go forever? Yeah, that happened to me today.
Have a great weekend, everyone!20 -
5.7 miles outside today, despite the wind

14 miles; longest run this year. In hindsight well planned as the strong winds were at my back the second half of my run. I wish I could say I planned it that way but I'll take the good luck.

I'm headed out in a few and I'm hoping I run into the same good luck!

@NikolaosKey Glad to see you return from injury and out running again!
I had the intent to run 30 miles when I set out, but at a certain part of the route, I couldn't remember which path I had to take; inevitably I took the wrong one. By the time I was almost home, I was a few miles short, but fatigue and the fact that it was almost 2AM meant that the temptation to cut the run "short" was too great, so maybe next weekend I can follow the correct route and get the full 30 in.
02 - 27.37
Total: 27.37 / 250 miles12 -
