6.2 miles this evening. Was supposed to be an easy run, but 24 mph wind made it feel a lot harder than it should have been. And ALL the uphills were against the wind 😫
Oh well, hopefully the weekend long run won't be too windy so it can be done at an easy effort.
Dh went out for 5 tonight, made 3 i think. All wind and hills. Great for getting 6+! He got dog bit last time out, so i think he's a little wary this time too.5 -

Celebrated my birthday today by doing a super intense full body workout at the gym. I usually stick to running and Zumba, so my abs and arms feel like they’ve been run over by a truck, but in a good way. Also got out yet again for c25k, and have an outdoor run planned for tomorrow. My friend who’s trying to start running only lives a couple of miles from my house, so I’m gonna run to her place and we shall commence week 2 of c25k from there! Here’s to being 20!

5km easy Wednesday night club run.
On Saturday and Sunday we were at -20C today +8C.
Lots of melting, streets and trails are a real dangerous mess, soft snow, smush, waterpuddles and slick ice hiding underneath all of it just waiting for an oblivious runner.
Vehicles traveling down the streets are throwing up huge curtains of cold dirty water. So just a short easy jaunt along the paved Riverbank recreation trail. Had a Club meeting while running about our two events, Heritage run and Sprint Triathlon.
03/03 7.01 km - 7.00km -133.00km - YTD 88.29km
03/06 6.15 km -13.15km -126.85km - YTD 94.44km
03/09 11.06 km -24.21km -115.79km - YTD 105.50km
03/10 5.15 km -29.36km -110.64km - YTD 110.65km
03/13 5.00 km -34.36km -105.64km - YTD 115.65kmLate to the party, but I am in for 40 miles this month. My last workout was February 14th prior to this week.
I have been blah since the beginning of the year. I found out recently that there were 2 holes in our stove and may have gotten a little carbon monoxide in the house. Stove fixed and feeling better.
A friend of mine in the local Fire Department recommends placing a detector below the level of your mattress, sofa and at the lowest point in your house to detect any CO that is slowly pooling.
@kristinegift Yes keep the KT tape going - you are probably right about the pinched nerve and transferring the tension/stress point.3 -
Took my friend on her long run today - 18k - but I also had to run to her house and from it afterwards, so was nearer 20 for me! Beautiful day for it, but our taste of autumn last week has disappeared and we're back to hot and humid. Phew!

Happy Birthday @amirahdaboss and @ContraryMaryMary!!
@kristinegift - hope your knee gets sorted out!!
I got out for a short little run this morning. Changed up my intervals. Wanted to increase to 5 mins running but decided it would be better to do a gradual build of intervals so did run/walk 3/4, 4/4. 5/4, 5/4, 5/4, 4/4, 3/4. It worked perfectly with the last interval ending just as I hit my door.

Happy Birthday @amirahdaboss
Guys, you are all congratulating @ContraryMaryMary a day ahead of time?! Where I grew up, wishing somebody a happy birthday before the actual day is considered bad luck
And afaik that's not only a German thing - I remember a few years ago, the Pope asked not to celebrate his birthday in advance, so it seems in Argentina (and, from the article, also in Russia) they have the same superstition. Don't know how it is in New Zealand - but just in case, I will wait 3 more hours ^^3 -

In America, it is like the total opposite. People talk about "It is my birthday MONTH" or "It is my birthday WEEK" and all that. Any excuse to celebrate will do4 -
Also...
What in the world? How does anyone even dress for that kind of weather? It has been too long - I do not recall!5 -
Two more days till Spring Break. I am going up to VA to spend the week with my mom.
Very sad around here - at a local high school (close to where I live and teach) a junior girl apparently brought a gun to school and committed suicide in the auditorium. High school and college years are tough on kids. Hug your kids. And lock up your guns.
I have to cut back/change my lifting program, two reasons. One, I think I am getting too muscly (is that possible?) and two, I stupidly agreed to teach on 2 online college classes. So when I get home from my regular job there just isn't time to lift for an hour or more. So this morning I tried to run 3 miles and then lift with the new program. It's still Transform App but a different program called "lean and shredded". Pretty easy after all I've been lifting! I won't be able to lift next week at mom's house, I don't think, so I will get lots of miles in!
I'm so impressed by @MobyCarp's push up plan! It's inspired me to try to add in a certain number a day. Now if I could only do more than 2 properly.
@pastorvincent - 72! So weird. It's 66 here at the moment, but a high of 83 which is too hot for March.
3/1 - 4 miles + strength training legs
3/2 - rest day/travel day
3/3 - rest day
3/4 - 4.5 miles + transform app - arms
3/5 - 5 miles
3/6 - transform app - legs
3/7 - 5 miles
3/8 - transform app - arms
3/9 - 54 miles cycling
3/10 - transform app - legs
3/11 - 5 miles
3/12 - 4 miles
3/13 - transform app - new program week 1 Legs
3/14 - 3 miles + transform app - Biceps
Tot: 30.5/708 -
@kristinegift- I hope your knee heals quickly. You are not alone. I raced hard this weekend and now my hamstrings are not thanking me for it. I had to abort my run after 2 miles on Tuesday and am resting until tomorrow. Of course, it was 60 and sunny here yesterday. Driving home from work it seemed like everyone in the world emerged from their caves to be outside and it was killing me. At least I got in a nice long dog walk with my husband when I got home.6
