Today I ran in circles all around the school. 2 locked gates forced me to abandon the larger lap I had in mind, but also meant we had the whole parking lot to ourselves to run in. Kids got bored with the playground after my FIRST lap, so most of the 10.8 km was spent trying to ignore the whining sounds coming from the small cyclist at my side, as well as yelling things like "leave your sister alone", "you have all this space to ride and play in, don't ride on top of me", and finally, "Just Let Me Run I've got __ laps to go." Only one of us cried, and it wasn't me... so at least there's that.19

Ahh, work was an absolute nightmare this week. So I haven't run since my 15K race on Sunday. Which is sort of a blessing in disguise because my foot has been troublesome as well since I stepped off a curb wrong on Jan 30th rushing home from work in the dark. I plan on getting back on the horse tomorrow since Saturdays are normally rest days for me anyway and I have a billion errands to run and groceries to buy.
A lot of you took the time to Congratulate me for my race and answer some questions I wrote in my post. I will go back and thank each of you individually but I wanted to write how much I appreciate your support and the time you took to write out responses. I've been too busy with work to have any time for MFP, so I apologize for my delayed responses. I hope everyone is able to enjoy the weekend. Just think, next weekend, it'll be March!! Yay!7 -

@polskagirl01 So conversational pace, huh? Glad you managed something, sorry it wasn't less stress-inducing.
I finished week 7 of c25k this morning. Wasn't sure my legs were going to be up to it after the evil physio introduced me to dry needling on Thursday (ouch!) but after a rest day yesterday my legs seemed ok apart from feeling heavier than usual, so off I went. Still feeling ok, though my knees feel a bit tired. Hiking up the closest mountain tomorrow though so they'll just have to shut up, they can have another rest on Monday (actually they have strength training programmed but shhh we won't tell them that!).
So just one more week of time-based runs then it's back to distance as I start an 8k plan. Yay! I do so love running, even when I hate it.
Talking of which, my husband's Facebook showed him a photo of us 3 years ago today. His reaction: "OMG you've lost SO much weight. Don't ever stop running. You can die if you like, but DON'T stop running!" I wasn't intending to, but I'm still not quite sure how to take that lol.

This week was a cutback week in my half marathon training plan and was only supposed to be a 5k long run for today, but I increased it to 4 miles since I skipped my run yesterday. Started off super sucky because I forgot my headphones. I tried running without music for the first mile and I couldn’t do it, so I played the music on my phone without the headphones at a not too loud volume and prayed no one in the gym yelled at me. After that the run was great!
2/1: 3.5 miles
2/2: 5 miles
2/5: 4.3 miles
2/6: 2.2 miles
2/7: 3.5 miles
2/9: 5 miles
2/11: 0.5 miles
2/12: 3.75 miles
2/13: 2.25 miles
2/15: 4 miles
2/16: 6 miles

2/21: 2 miles

Good luck to everyone who has races this weekend. Here in E. TN, we're all just trying to stay above the water. We've had way too much rain this past week.
I hear ya about the rain. Here in W TN, we have traffic warnings to avoid flooded streets down by the Mississippi river! My mom out in the country is getting cut off by the Wolf River if it goes much higher. And my 10k trail race Sunday afternoon is on the banks of the Wolf!
Someone posted this on the race organizer's Facebook page:

WOW! I know a lot of places have it worse than we do. I did speak with someone this morning that said the water was over a couple of the major roads around here and we had a mudslide take out part of a major road in the next county over. I hope your mom doesn't get completely cut off and that you don't look like the person in the video after your 10K.
@polskagirl01 Sorry, but I had to laugh. Glad you got your run in and it sounds like that at least you weren't bored. LOL

Real Goals: Train well toward Boston. Work the February races into the training plan smoothly. Remain uninjured, even if it means cutting back on planned mileage or races.
Today's notes – Obligatory pre-race photo of Lake Ontario:
The picture was taken a short walk from the White House lodge in the park, where the race is based. I don't think it shows very well, but the lake had a coating of ice at that point. After taking the picture, I went out for my pre-race warmup.
Garmin says it was 30° F (-1° C) at the start of my warmup. Garmin also says it was 3 mph SE wind. It felt a little cooler, and the wind was definitely stronger and more easterly. The race is two loops of 2.2 miles on road with little waves and on small hill; I ran one loop plus a bit for my warmup, felt pretty good.
There was no pressure for the race. I had already clinched the age group win for the series. Got talking with Pete, the second place guy in the series. He was concerned about his Achilles, maybe. From where he pointed, it wasn't clear to me whether it was really the Achilles or higher up in the calf; I urged him to see a doctor and not mess with it. If it hurts, slow down. More on this later.
I set off with the plan of just running at T pace (slightly slower than 10K race pace, so not working as hard as I would if this were an important 4.4 mile race). T pace target for me on roads would be about 6:40 per mile. Got into a groove, felt comfortable. Things pretty much sorted out within the first mile, with a bunch of experienced runners ahead of me that I expected to stay ahead of me.
Well, things happen. You run enough of these races, and you get to know the usual suspects. There are guys who run close to my pace, that I may finish behind or ahead of depending on the day and how well each of us are doing. Late in mile 3, I was gaining ground on a guy in an old Boston Celebration jacket. I knew who he was. He was in the 50-54 age group, he paced a 1:40 target at my very first half marathon, and he ought to be faster than me. But I was catching up. So I caught up and passed him, telling him, "Just another long interval workout in the Boston training." Yes, I expect to see him in Boston in April.
Then I was just a bit behind a guy in the 45-49 age group that I sometimes finish ahead of, sometimes behind. For a while it looked like I might catch him; then the gap widened again. I'd have to run this like an "A" race to catch him, and avoiding injury was more important. So I kept running my plan, maintaining a more or less stable distance until he went into a stronger finish line kick than I did. I finished 9 seconds behind him, which is a lot further than it sounds like.
So . . . I ended up with a Garmin time of 28:36. Gun time was 28:34. That was 13th of 146 overall, 1st of 8 in the M 60-64 age group. It completed my sweep of winning the age group in all 6 Freezeroo races. So I hung around and watched some other guys finish. The guy I passed in mile 3 was not all that far behind me, but clearly worked much harder than I did. And Pete came in slow.
Pete felt his Achilles pop at 2.5 miles, slowed down, and finished the race. Since about a half mile in, I had been regretting something I didn't say before the race: I had clinched 1st in the age group, and Pete couldn't catch me. Pete had clinched 2nd, and no one could catch him. Turned out he didn't know that; if I'd told him, maybe he would have been conservative enough to take a DNF when the Achilles popped. Or maybe not; we're all kind of dumb in the middle of a race.
Immediately after the race would have been a great time for a 2 mile cool down run to put my weekly mileage right on marathon training plan target. I didn't do that. I wanted to eat fresh pizza, so I went and did that. Then there was conversation with other runners, and the awards ceremony. Then it was deserted, and I decided to just go home. I might have bagged it and just been 2 miles short for the week, but there was a package on my porch. It was the new HRM I had ordered.
That was all the incentive I needed. I unpacked it, adjusted the strap, paired it with my watch, and went out for an easy run to test the HRM. It worked well, with no fake spike early. It also lacked the dynamics of my older HRM; but heart rate is the important thing. Got to thinking, though; this one snaps on to the strap. It looks to be the same form as the old HRM. Take it off, snap the old HRM onto the strap. Put it on, pair with the watch again . . . and see a reasonable heart rate. Maybe the old monitor was fine, and just the strap was bad? I'll test for that on tomorrow's run.

@polskagirl01 -- that's too funny! Leave your sister alone!
Had a nice bike ride today - w/ cycling group. When we were on the way home from the ride (just husband and I at this point), we took a bike/running trail that we usually take on the way home because we can go slow and relax for a couple miles after the intense group ride. There was a 5K happening on it which we didn't know about. I saw later it started at 9am and this was 10:30 so only a few walkers and volunteers were there. At the end of the trail we had to stop for a stop sign. This is where the runners would turn to go on the sidewalk and we were to get back on the road. There was a woman standing there who was obviously struggling with the heat (it was probably 80F at this point) and she was all red, very overweight. I heard someone ask if she was okay and she said "someone is coming to pick me up". I felt so incredibly sad for her. I said to her something like "this heat is ridiculous for February". She didn't answer. I wanted to tell her "start Couch 2 5K! I couldn't run 6 years ago and now I can!" Just broke my heart because she looked so miserable. I am not judging her, just feeling sad for her. It was a run for cancer and she was wearing the tee shirt and had her number pinned on her shirt and couldn't finish.
I pray she keeps trying. All this makes me realize how lucky I am that I can exercise and you all keep me motivated!

@MobyCarp congrats on the 1st place AG win! You are a beast!
12 miles this afternoon. Was on pace to do an easy sub 2hr HM, but I guess fighting the 22 mph (gusting to 40 mph) wind did me in. Felt mostly easy, but uphill against the wind just was brutal. But being just 4 weeks since the marathon, and having been sick mostly all week, I'll take it.

Did my first 10k race today! Got a PR for the 10k. Strava clocked the distance at 6.3 miles and an unofficial time of 1:03.17. I really think I can get under an hour with slightly better conditions, so that is my goal for my next race in a month.
It was 72 F and crazy humid this morning. The first mile was still and hot and I was sweating through my shirt by the first mile marker. Once the course got out of the highrises, a little breeze broke through and I was able to speed up comfortably with splits of 9:15 and 9:30 for miles 2 and 3.
Then the hills started. For many of you, these hills would barely seem like a bump in the road, but Houston is FLAT guys! I ran all of them, slowing down some to maintain a pretty constant effort and HR and letting gravity carry me a little down the hills. By the time I made it to mile 4, my calves were getting tight but I was still on pace to make it in under an hour so I tried to keep my pace up.
I slowed some with the hills but at mile 5 a sub 1 hr finish was still possible. Then, it started raining. It actually felt really nice but didn't last long. The humidity and my inexperience with hills caught up with me and I finished at just over 1.03. I'm happy with my time given the tough conditions!
The bling! It is also a belt buckle!! How Texan is that!?!

I hope all the rest of the racing goes well this weekend, and congrats @MobyCarp for the 1st place AG finish, and to @martaindale for the 10K PR!
I hit the ground running back at work this week, but have kept up the HM training plan—it’s still early (just finished week 3) but feeling doable, so I’m optimistic and planning to register very soon! My 16 yo agreed to do a 5K with me in March, which is timed for the training plan, so that’s definitely on deck. And today was a pretty classic late winter run for here. Cool and soggy, a bit of sun, a bit of rain.

@MobyCarp Well done! You just keep knocking down those AGs!
@martaindale Wonderful first race! Sounds like you really have a good head on your shoulders. Slowing on the hills was very wise and not something new race runners think of. Most try to maintain PACE, but you should maintain EFFORT like you did.

No run today. Messed up in my plans and missed my window for it. Ah well. If I run 30-40 miles tomorrow I will still make my goal for this week! I have a solid 3ish hour window to do it in too. Should be easy, just have to hold a steady 6 min pace for 30 miles.8

Run notes:
Well, I've fallen hopelessly behind in the thread this month, I knew it was only a matter of time. Had my first double-digit long run today in over four months!! It was really cold and rainy all day, and I was very tempted to put this run off until tomorrow, but I'm glad I went out there and got it done. I was thoroughly soaked by the end, but thank goodness I had nice merino ls (under my water resistant running jacket), gloves, and socks to keep me warm! My hands smelled like wet wool for the rest of the day though
my left foot is feeling a little sore after this run, so I made sure to ice the area twice. I'll have to keep an eye on it, because there's no way I'm going to be taken out with an injury three times in 7 months

Dreadmill speedwork yesterday morning because I thought I would not have a chance to run again all weekend. However, the air quality cleared up unexpectedly this afternoon, and I'm thinking about a long run later.10 -
Slower than a very slow thing going slowly but 5 miles done this morning and it's a long time since I did that. Started misty but Sun came out as I was running by the river and it was lovely. Need to be better with stretches as hamstring was niggling. Brings total this month to 25.

That cracked me up! At least you were going and 5 miles is nothing to sneeze at, no matter how long it took you to get there!!!

@martaindale Congrats on the 10K PR and awesome bling ma'am!
@MobyCarp Well done on the 1st place AG finish!
Yesterday's run was on the treadmill, keep coughing up lovely thick stuff....but still getting some runs in even if shorter and slower than usual. The only thing that stinks with those runs is I can't track them in Strava so they are not counting towards RTY goal
. Overslept this morning so missed run but brought workout gear with so can at least get something in after work, whether it be treadmill or outdoors(if some daylight still). 55 days on the run. 8 -

You can add those miles manually in rty. From the calendar, there’s a + on each day. You can edit mileage there

Plan called for 13km. Did 12.5km slower than a very slow thing going slowly and could not talk myself into 500 meters more. @samthepanda I am officially joining your club. Dunno if it was the speedwork yesterday or the lack of sleep. But I did it so there.
@MobyCarp Congrats on your AG win!
@martaindale Congrats on a PR! That bling looks so very Texas.

Next year when you pop in here claiming your December 2019 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?
Run at least 4 5k races.
Get under 30:00 and a PR for 5k.
Average at least 135k per month, which would put me over 1,000 miles for the year.
Run the Year Team: Five for Nineteen
Well, it was cloudy and windy today, but only a couple of drops or rain during the run. That was clearly the cold front coming through -- temperature dropped 4 degrees F between my start and my finish. Legs felt good today.
2019 Races:
4-13 Shine the Light 5K
6-1 Freedom 5K
6-30 Strides for Starfish 5k8 -
@MobyCarp - Great race, and congrats on your 1AG!
@martaindale - Congrats on a superb PR in your 10K race! You attacked the hills perfectly, and no doubt next time you'll get that sub-hour result when the conditions aren't so warm and humid (although does that ever happen in Houston?)
Last night I decided to head out into the wind for a late-night run, partly because I just wanted to run a faster-paced run, but mainly because I wanted to test out the new Soffe running shorts that recently arrived. For the price, they're absolutely fantastic and incredibly lightweight...in comparison to what I normally wear, it felt like I was running naked.
I think I'm going to order more pairs in other colours ready for the upcoming spring and summer runs.
