ROCK IT! @JessicaMcB !0 -
So it wasn't 50k just a measely HM Magoo's Madness in Grande Prairie - some fool was running late, jumped out of my truck just as the runners were leaving, grabbed the water bottle, ran over to the event tent, grabbed my bib. Pinned it on very fast, stabbed my leg once, managed to pin it to my compression undergarmet so had a safety pin rubbing on my leg. Took off - last athlete to leave the start/finish. Reached down to start my watch - No Watch. So does that mean I imagined that I ran an event?
Just went out and ran by feel - went out a little too fast since I had that I need to catch someone feeling.
4 x 5k Loops
Full and HM at 9am
10 & 5k at 10am
Aid station at 2.5k and start/finish plus a drop table for personal supplies.
One of the nice things is there were 2 sections of trail where it was in & out bound so you would meet other athletes and cheer each other on. Approximately 150m elevation per loop = 600m net elevation, and it wasted no time in climbing which was up a Power line ROW or descending through the trees on the inbound. The bush parts were fantastic, serenaded by lots of birds and shade but the breeze was still moving through the trees providing relief from the heat. Temperature climbed rapidly to 25C ( 84F ) which is a scorcher for us. They had Freezies at the aid station at the top of the Hill and Frozen Sponges. What a treat. Grabbed a sponge on 3rd leg and placed it under my hat, looked really weird this big square lump under my hat but felt amazing. The Freezie - Lime Sour
A tradition with this event/group is each athlete is asked to pick up one piece of Trail Trash and drop it at the Garbage by the Aid Station or Course Marshall at the 1km mark. The normal collection of crushed cans, Potatoe chip bags, a bike seat, a car tire ( no rim ), Hub Cap etc. There was a complete fender from a trailer but we all left it where it sat as it was just to big. Managed 2 in AG - the official results are not online yet but I was over 3 hours.Two programmers to a computer . . .
This is one of the things that would make me want to ask upper management, "If you're so rich, why aren't you smart?"
It's also an example of karma in action. The very people who are smart, motivated, organized, and productive will be the ones who are in a position to say, "good-bye." But they'll be able to keep the people who can't organized their lives well enough to stop living paycheck to paycheck, no matter how big the salary is.
@MobyCarp That's exactly what I did at my last job. They implemented this new " Automatic Job scheduler " that would look at all the jobs in the work que, required skill sets, estimated job time and dispatch based on that matrix. No where did they look at Job Location, Customers office schedule. So at 8am you would be assigned a job for a customer who doesn't open until 9am, or would drive up to a brand new office complex and find multiple corporate vehicles all with 1 job assigned to them for the same client. The sales people also got creative at entering jobs to show minimum estimated work time and skill set to get an earlier date. So the person that showed up would not have the skills or equipment required for the job. Those of us who had the skills pulled the parachute and left.13 -

I ran 8.52 miles today. It was so hot already. A couple of days running in Colorado really made this run feel hot. It was 72°F at 7:30 am. I felt so slow today. I know I am slower in the heat, but damn. I need to get acclimated to the heat. But it was a still a pretty good run. And I think I will be able to hit my goal this month.
2019 races:
2/2/19: Catch the Groundhog Half Marathon - PR 2:15:17
5/18/19: Run for 57th AHC Half Marathon - Cancelled due to weather7 -
Holy guacamole y’all, I felt a little warm today but didn’t realize it hit 100 while I was running! This is the graph for the day from our closest station, we finished our run and started our walk at 7:02 pm, which means the temp was at 100 the whole time we were running.
Ran 5k, then walked 5k. I am very annoyed that for some reason my splits didn’t get recorded because I would have liked to see them. Averaged 10:10 which is quite a bit better than last time, and I ran the first mile super slow because my ankle was feeling stiff so I wanted to give it a change to warm up and relax, which it did after about half a mile, so I just kept gradually accelerating as long as it felt okay. I think I remember the last mile being 9:15 or something? Which is pretty much what my normal, non-race pace was before my injury. I think it’s time to start adding distance back.
Although we were both panting like big dogs laying up under a porch, neither my husband nor I realized it was quite as hot as it was, and we felt pretty good running. So a success as far as getting acclimatized. It’s pretty absurd that the heat is in the triple digits an hour before sundown in May, though! Since two of our running parks close at sundown. Gonna have to swap to morning runs.

0526-8k total-50.2k, goal-100k
So, spent the better part of the week on business trip, which means hunched over a computer for nearly 20 hours a day, grabbing a bit of sleep, and then back up at dawn to do it all over again.
Finally got myself out for a run yesterday. I started out at sunset. It'd been raining all day and finally let up. Cool with a breeze, Garmin says 23 degrees. During the 1st km, I could literally feel my bones and muscles and lung capacity expand and relax. Man, it felt good to be running. The rest of the run was uneventful, besides hordes of dancing old ladies and a strange niggle in my left knee. The latter was probably nothing.

10.1 miles this morning. Much, much better than Saturday. Conditions were basically the same, but overcast today. That probably made the biggest difference, plus ran shirtless. No water, only 1 Stinger chew. This felt like a redemption run.

Adding 26.2 miles for yesterday's Scheel's Med City Marathon in Rochester, MN. It came in at my 2nd best marathon time thus far with a chip time of 5:14:17 (yes, I'm slow, but that is still a good time for me).

Great job @midwesterner85!!1

@midwesterner85 - Congratulations!!
Also a shout out to our friend @BeeerRunner who finished her first ultra (56k) on Saturday!!
@noblsheep - that business trip sounds brutal! We used to spend long hours when we traveled but nothing like that and it always included going out for food and drinks (sometimes more drink than food). Glad you were able to get a run in and work off some of that stress! What kind of work do you do?

@midwesterner85 Every successful marathon is a great run. Congratulations!!!3

Yay @midwesterner85 congratulations!
Going back to the 2 at one pc situation, I technically work on 2 pcs in my job, and when I was studying I had a 3rd pc set up - granted that was a personal laptop, but had it set up with two monitors. Was awesome.
Almost didn't go out this morning. Had a bit of churning and gurgling in my tummy all night. But went out because my new philosophy is you only regret the run you don't do. Plan was for 5k. It was really warm this morning, 18 degrees (64f) and give. Its supposed to be winter on Saturday thats warm! The gurgling was still happening and about half a km I felt the need to go bathroom. Stubbornly I kept going - now thats a great way to activate your gluteus, run 5k while holding off the bathroom! I've been taking iron supplements and stool softener cause otherwise the iron blocks me up. But I think i may have accidentally taken 2 yesterday - one in the morning and one at night. I'm still trying to make it a habit and forgot the night before. Sigh. Made it home though so whew! And made a good pace despite the temperature.
Sitting here typing that all out and it starts raining! Where was that an hr ago!9 -

I'm feeling more like myself and it's Monday (my "Monday track day"), so I had hubby drop me off at the track on his way to the gym. Got my 6x400's done (w/400 recovery in-between) then ran the 2k slow to the gym for a short strength workout there.
The track is really nice, but I did have to move a bunch of hurdles that were sitting around [everywhere] so I could have one lane to run in.

Went for a trail run today with my friends and our cohort of dogs. Tried a bungee harness for the first time, was v weird but great up hill. Speaking of hills, jeez... living by the sea doesn't serve me well in these situations but I survived and definitely appreciated the pub lunch after.
Remembered today I'm doing a charity bike ride in 4 weeks so will have to limit runs to 1-2 a week now while I get some decent saddle time in.7 -

Up until a few years ago, we used a reporting software with a plug-in to Excel 2003. Instead of using Excel 2003 on my newer PC, I would remote desktop in to an old PC at the same location as the reporting software and run Excel 2003 on that. It was still slow and it sucked.2 -
Had to do 2 runs today because I skipped it yesterday. Luckily neither was particularly long. It's hot and humid, but I survived. I'm remembering water and figuring out my fueling so there's that.
Also, I ran in just my sports bra and running shorts for the first time ever today. I've always been too self conscious to do it. But, it's hot and it's silly of me to care one bit what some random stranger thinks about my appearance while I'm running. So, I did it. It felt a little weird and I was self conscious, but air on skin feels great when you're dripping sweat! I'll get over it by the end of the summer, I'm sure.

I had dh take me for another walk today and used one crutch this time. My gait felt pretty good, we’ll see how grumpy everything is tomorrow. If it’s not horrible, I think I’ll add some regular walking, bet I can entice dd to do it with me too. Dh was concerned about my safety and suggested I carry a gun. Ya that’s a hard no. If I feel that unsafe I’ll walk elsewhere or stick to the tm. I did concede and agreed to pepper spray and this cool little taser I’ve wanted for sometime and couldn’t find after passing one similar up at an expo. So, ya, I wanna taser someone. Repeatedly. Until they wet themselves. Got dd some spray too.
I also made it 15 minutes on the stationary bike before the first twinge of hip pain. I don’t think that’s an improvement, merely predictable. I should journal this stuff so I’m not guessing at my weekly progress.
Some of those work conditions sound horrible.7 -

I took a rest day yesterday, which felt good after 2+ weeks without a complete day off. I only felt minorly guilty because the weather was pretty nice, but I managed to let that go and enjoyed graduation festivities and a visiting a couple of breweries. Today's weather was not good, but I managed an early run before it started to rain. There was a pretty stiff breeze that was to my side the whole time out and back but at least I wasn't running into it. Not long after I got back to the house, it started to rain and kept up for much of the day. Tomorrow is my last day here and hopefully I'll get one last short run in.6 -

Just a regular day in China. (Look up "square dancing China" if you're interested, I'm told it doesn't happen anywhere else )@midwesterner85 - Congratulations!!
Also a shout out to our friend @BeeerRunner who finished her first ultra (56k) on Saturday!!
@noblsheep - that business trip sounds brutal! We used to spend long hours when we traveled but nothing like that and it always included going out for food and drinks (sometimes more drink than food). Glad you were able to get a run in and work off some of that stress! What kind of work do you do?
I do the writing/content aspect of events (speeches, press releases, interviews, all the actual words that appear in videos and presentations, yada yada yada), which means we're always on a near impossible deadline when the big day nears. It's kind of a fun job since no two events are alike, and we get to go to a bunch of interesting places, but yeah the schedule is not for the faint of heart.6 -

During the 1st km, I could literally feel my bones and muscles and lung capacity expand and relax. Man, it felt good to be running. The rest of the run was uneventful, besides hordes of dancing old ladies and a strange niggle in my left knee. The latter was probably nothing.
Some kind of celebration or festival out your way?

Ah! Well that does not happen in my town, cannot speak much beyond that.
It is a great idea or at least sounds like one. Saw some hits about Bejing not being happy about it and trying to regulate it. I suspect that was ineffective. But my view from here is very limited.
If my 30 seconds off Googling paid off...
"Square Dancing" in America means something a little different. Seems "Square Dance" in Chine refers to the PLACE of the dancing (in the public square) where here in America, "Square Dance" is a specific style of dance normally done to Country-Western music often with a barn or cowboy/girl theme.

Also, I ran in just my sports bra and running shorts for the first time ever today. I've always been too self conscious to do it. But, it's hot and it's silly of me to care one bit what some random stranger thinks about my appearance while I'm running. So, I did it. It felt a little weird and I was self conscious, but air on skin feels great when you're dripping sweat! I'll get over it by the end of the summer, I'm sure.
It's a learning process. Before I was seriously running, I thought those asymmetric water bottles looked dorky, I never wanted to wear a sleeveless shirt, and I really preferred crew length socks.
Sunday I went out running quarter length socks and a singlet, with a couple of those dorky water bottles in a belt. Practical trumps stylish, as it also does with the issue of shoe colors.

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
Warm and humid today. Started off at a nice slow pace -- saw a robin on the road ahead of me and when it started running it was putting more distance between us. But, as per usual, lacked discipline and picked up the pace throughout the run.
2019 Races:
4-13 Shine the Light 5K - 31:12 chip time; First Place male 65 and older
6-30 Strides for Starfish 5K6 -
I got some sunburn at the marathon on Sun. Does anybody know of sunscreen that lasts 6+ hours so I can apply it before marathons and not have to re-apply?
*Asking for a friend, or something like that...2
