0616-10.5k total-34k, goal-80k
Rained all morning yesterday and was almost not hot in the afternoon. Garmin says it was 23 degrees. Plan wanted 12km, but I somehow missed a turn and ended up with 10.5, and was too lazy to do some laps of the block to make it up. My legs wanted to go faster but my lung capacity did not. Made for a funny zigzag pattern in pace that looked like bad interval training. But I had a blast.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!
3.1 miles down the wagon trail, around Cox park, then back to WC Johnson, just at sunset. In fact the last half of this run was mostly in the dark, which isn’t ideal since you aren’t legally allowed to be on the wagon trail after dark (true of most trails here.) Not to mention that the pavement is buckled due to roots so that it’s very uneven, and it’s not safe to run it without being able to see. Should have gotten out earlier, but my husband was spending time with his dad.
Anyway there were a couple of benefits of getting out so late! WC Johnson’s boardwalk is open until 11 so we took our post run walk there, and we saw a zillion lightning bugs, and an armadillo! Contrary to popular perception, armadillos do not spawn dead at the side of the road, they are sometimes alive! This is only the second live one I’ve ever seen. And armadillos can run and leap about like crazy it turns out. We seem to have scared this one and he took off, then realized he had no idea where he was headed and started acting crazy to try to throw us off the trail. I had read previously that frightened armadillos leap straight up in the air as a defense against predators, but never seen it. That’s one of the reasons they are so poorly suited to crossing roads - if a car passes over a dillo, it will jump straight up into the undercarriage.
The park was so full of daddies and their children when we arrived that it was impossible to park, and completely empty when we left. I hope all the fathers here on the running thread had a lovely day!
And I want to offer a hug to anyone else who is like me and spent the day missing their own father. I was thinking of mine during the days after his stroke, when he was still in rehab and very confused from vascular dementia. He told me he was worried about something, that in the morning the staff were taking him down the hall for vocational therapy. “But I don’t know what vocation they expect me to learn,” he said. “Who is going to hire me?” He was deeply concerned that he wouldn’t be able to provide for his family. At this point he was 82 and had been retired for a dozen years. I told him not to worry, that he had taken care of us all his life and it was time for us to take care of him. But he never did stop trying to figure out how to get back to taking care of everyone, it wasn’t in his nature. My father was not a demonstrative man at all, he rarely hugged or said “I love you,” and his way of showing love was to work hard for his family, both at his job and in ways such as household repairs, giving good advice, and teaching skills. He also thought Father’s day was very silly and a waste of money. I miss him a lot!13 -

@rheddmobile happy belated birthday, I swear my computer doesn't show me all the posts on this thread, I think I read everything but then someone refers to something I haven't noticed. Either that or this perimenopause lark is totally addling my brain!
@polskagirl01 if you decide to run something here let me know, I'll come cheer you on at the very least!
@Avidkeo hugs... it will be tough leaving the place your family started behind but remember you're about to start on a new stage of your family's future and you'll be creating some incredible new memories there soon. About the Garmin, @noblsheep has offered to send me her old one which is so amazingly generous I'm all kinds of tearful about it!
@MobyCarp great to hear you bounced back, I'm in awe of your time for that race, I couldn't do that that fast on perfectly healthy legs, let alone injured!
I found some official rankings for Saturday's race online. They have my time down as 1:04:56. I'll definitely take it as a PR even if the course may have been a little short. I came in 169th out of 178 women, and there were also 9 men who finished behind me. Not at all bad considering my aim was to finish under the 1:15:00 cut-off time even if I was the last one in! Legs are tired and a bit sulky still, but not as bad as I thought they would be. Maybe I'll come down off the high and manage to get some work done soon.

@rheddmobile – Happy Belated Birthday! What a great way to enjoy your day!
@simcon1 – Glad you got to run in Detroit. The last marathon I did (and probably the last I will ever do) was in Detroit. I don’t think I ever would have chosen to visit Detroit otherwise but I ended up really enjoying the city!
Congratulations @eleanorhawkins, @katharmonic and @mobycarp on your races. Loved reading all the race reports. (Hope I didn't miss anyone.)
@lazy_Bones_85 – Yes, I think burnout from running is very normal. Not only is taking a few days off good for your mind, but it’s good for your body as well, especially if you aren’t in the middle of training for a big race. If you are in the middle of a training cycle, try to limit the number of days off and just power through your scheduled runs. Some runs you feel great. Others suck. But you will feel better after powering through them!
Beautiful full moon on this morning’s run. 68F and 98% humidity made it a real sweat fest.

Yes, I'm sure I miss posts too!
Happy Belated Birthday @rheddmobile!
@MobyCarp such a great race after coming back from injury! You are such an inspiration.
6.2 miles this morning. Nothing great, but had all negative splits.

Was off work last week but still managed a few gym sessions and a run. Also got to the gym this morning despite only managing about 5 hours sleep. Feels good to get back in to a sort of routine!5

Thank you @shanaber and @Teresa502!
@rheddmobile happy belated birthday! Love the nature encounters - you are a disney princess! Awesome job on the Sally push-up challenge, way to go! I love your birthday goals. And hugs for missing your dad, he sounds like a great man. I miss mine too, who had a lot of similar traits, and I get a little smile imagining what he would think about my running and obstacle races. He would have gotten a kick out of it.
@shanaber great river pics! Glad your legs were feeling better. It definitely puts it into perspective when you think about what others are facing.
@eleanorhawkins congrats on your 10k! Awesome!
@MobyCarp great job on your race and glad your sore spot held up okay! Nice pics of the river.
@midwesterner85 good luck with your move!
@simcon1 great job on your 5k last week - and yay to getting a friend hooked!
@Lazy_Bones_85 I think that's totally normal to feel like you just need to rest for a bit, even if nothing is actively wrong. I try to just take one rest day and then maybe really easy short runs (even just 15 minutes) for a couple of days when it feels like this, just to maintain the habit but give myself a break.
Hope I'm all caught up, sorry if I missed any races/events.
I volunteered at the Spartan race yesterday and it was such a fun experience. I will definitely do that again. I was at the first obstacle on the course, which was a 5-ft (I think) wall. Pretty easy for most people, although a lot get a boost from a friend (or stranger). So I didn't have much "coaching" to do, just encouraging them for getting up the first hill (most of the way, I didn't point out there was still a bit to go before the top) and defeating the first obstacle. It was fun to see the "backstage" of the race a little. The elite and age group heats were a little boring, as they all ran through pretty fast and I had several minutes of nothing to do before the next heat (every 15 minutes). But the open heats were more fun as the racers were spread out an I got to talk to and encourage more people. There was even one woman who arrived at the wall completely hating the race already and she broke into tears and said she was quitting. The guy she was with and I spent several minutes trying to encourage her to just try it. I told her that she would feel absolutely amazing if she did this thing, no matter how long it takes, and it was just getting her head over the wall more than her body. And then she did it - with no boost, all by herself. It was the best moment. The guy mouthed "thank you" to me as they took off. I really hope she finished and did feel amazing.
The results for the race showed I was in the top 25% in my age group, and of all our team of 16 from the gym, I had the fastest time (along with the two people I was with, edging them out by a couple of seconds). Now, this is not really fair, because the team ran in small groups and waited for and helped each other so it's not like everyone was running their own race for time. But still. I was second oldest on the team, and held my own with all of them including those two I ran with who are almost half my age. So excited.
You and me both! I say ride that high and slack off (that's what I'm doing)eleanorhawkins wrote: »Maybe I'll come down off the high and manage to get some work done soon.

That's so awesome!
I found a compromise to the high/slacking off issue... I work for 10 minutes then let myself have a couple of minutes of excitement then work for another 10 minutes... etc. etc. etc.
Not helped by the fact I just got an email offering me the chance to pay now for parking for the Bon Jovi concert. Not relevant as I'm taking the train to Madrid, but it reminded me LESS THAN 3 WEEKS TO GO.

If you're in the UK it is rumoured to start at some point in July or August and last approximately 45 minutes, during which 16 hosepipe bans will be enforced and 784 people will need treatment for heatstroke. Foreigners will be forced to remove a layer.
also, I just lol'd at my desk and I needed a laugh so thank you for this!

Had planned on a long run yesterday but it was NOT happening. The route I picked, my local Rail Trail, starts out with a very shallow uphill for about the 1st two miles and my calves were absolutely barking at me. I'm wondering if there was a lot of leftover soreness from running 3 miles on Fri in my new Topos, which are a 5mm drop vs my old shoes at 10mm. Also, my entire right foot kept going numb. Just a very frustrating day. I did a little bit of foam rolling last night and boy oh boy was it painful. Today is a rest day and my plan when I get home from work is to do a real in-depth stretching and foam rolling session, which is something I really should be doing regularly.
Oh well, tomorrow's another day!

We celebrated Father's Day for my husband on Saturday, playing cards against humanity with our sons and drinking a little (or a lot) too much. I got up the next morning a little later than usual, so it was a little warm. My dogs were raring to go by the time we left the house, but their enthusiasm didn't last long so I dropped them off after only 2 miles. I gave myself a brief pit stop and went back out for a total of 6. I should have gone back around to the house to get water, as I was pretty thirsty by the end, but I pushed through.
This morning, I took them out for a walk and didn't bother to start my Garmin. It was about a mile, give or take. Then at lunch, I rode the indoor bike at work for 20 minutes, followed by Myrtl, bridges and ~20 minutes of yoga.6 -
Monday track day... I did 400's this time, and had my daughter with me. She mostly played around but did run some

Ha. I remember my first summer in the UK. It got to August and I said to my English flatmate, "It's going to start getting hot now, isn't it?" When she told me that summer was done already, I nearly cried.5 -

It's a beautiful night, so I went to run group, planning to just do a base run. The workout was 1-minute intervals x 9 with 1-minute recovery between. This is a workout I don't mind as it goes so fast, so I decided to just do it. It went okay. My right knee is a touch sore from the hills (descents) on Saturday but everything else felt fine. I have a large mysterious bruise from some obstacle I can't recall along with lots of little bruises - between that and my scar from my rope burn before the last race my legs look pretty beat up. My running friend said, "is this healthy?" I think the balance is positive so far. 7 -
I had a coworker tell me she and her husband saw me running yesterday.
I told her at that point I was debating to turn and go home for water or keep going. She said, "Yeah you were going really slow." Thanks! 🤨3 -

I hate that. Why is it your friends always catch you on a tough running day?2 -
Was coming down from my post-race high following a slow, stiff and awkward morning run. Legs spent most of it arguing about which one was meant to go first... was it left, right, left or right, left, right? Definitely wasn't supposed to be both at the same time! Also miscalculated and ended up finishing a good mile from home, by the time I got back I wasn't feeling to good.
But look what was waiting for me in my email..... a race photo that was not only free but also the first one I haven't absolutely hated!!!

Nike is finally realizing that not all of us athletic wearers are a size 2!
"The athletic wear giant debuted curvy mannequins this week on the new women’s floor at its flagship store in London to showcase figures of all shapes and sizes. The women’s floor in its Oxford Street store features a plus-size mannequin front and center dressed in a black sports bra and matching leggings with her hands stretching above her head."

This link would be a good time to remind everyone, that on the internet - in general, do not read the comments. I am sure these will degrade quickly.

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
Cloudy, mid-60s F and humid today. Intervals started off fairly well, but I faded a little toward the end. Guess that's why I need to do interval training.
2019 Races:
4-13 Shine the Light 5K - 31:12 chip time; First Place male 65 and older
6-30 Strides for Starfish 5K
7-27 Solon Home Days 5K4 -

Legs spent most of it arguing about which one was meant to go first... was it left, right, left or right, left, right? Definitely wasn't supposed to be both at the same time! Also miscalculated and ended up finishing a good mile from home, by the time I got back I wasn't feeling to good.
But look what was waiting for me in my email..... a race photo that was not only free but also the first one I haven't absolutely hated!!!
June goal: 75km. Run so far: 49.89km
Nice! I have those same shorts - pretty much my go-to for long runs and races now. They are so comfortable!
They're good aren't they. Cheap and comfy. They're also the reason I have strange tan marks across the middle of my thighs lol1
