@LoveyChar I am getting SO EXCITED TOOOO !!!!!!!! It's going to be amazing, I can feel it. I have a long run planned for this weekend - eighteen miles - but have been running less because of the IT Band Syndrome, so I may cut it back to 12, which was the original plan for last week except I slept late (ha, no surprise there) and got my hair done...
My IT Band was improving so much the past couple of days - NO PAIN yesterday ... mostly. Today, it's quite twingy again. And noticably so. I'm not sure what's going on there. I have the heating pad on and I'm taking NSAIDS, but I sure do wish this would be over and healed already.
So maybe 12 this week is more reasonable. My son wants to run with me this evening. My daughter managed to get a giant hole in the front of her shoe (no idea how this happened) so we have to go to the shoe store to replace those and I think we'll look at some suitable running shoes for my son. Right now he's wearing Nike high top sneakers and I can't stand the idea of him RUNNING in those. It seems like it would be so uncomfortable. Maybe we'll get a good deal tonight.
Family drama topic - it probably doesn't help the six of us that we have no living parents and we all have our own trauma and story regarding them. We all also live in vastly different parts of the country. two of the six of us are amazing at judgement and self-righteousness and the general concept of having "arrived." The rest of us want peace and harmony and have no limits to the love we are willing to share.
It makes family functions difficult, so we just don't really do them. We all see each other at different times for different reasons, but we are generally never, ever all together at once. The last time that happened was when my mother died. They came for the funeral.
In any event, I still get to run my marathon. I'll have sisters there and friends. it will be a good day - and less stressful once it arrives - just have to get over this hump of awkward, flaky, noncommittal, weird bs she has going on.5 -
@7lenny7 Welcome back!!!!! Great to "see you" and thanks..have a HM coming up March 29. May do a 5K next weekend. There is 5K and 8K this weekend, but I've done that course twice now already the first 2 races (it's part of a series). Next week is at a different location so will be a nice change.
Good info on the fueling. That race you signed up for really does sound right up your alley.
@Elise4270 Hi!!!
4 Miles today including 10x1 min speed intervals.
Feels like temp was 35 as the winds were 10-15mph. Made it tough. So back to the winter gear.

My eldest brother I never really got on with, he was the golden child, religious, joined the Uni RAF squad, played piano well, did well at Uni, dropped dead at 32 so there was no completing with that. You know the friendship parachute, multicoloured, people grab a corner, if you can find an example of that before he 'came up' with it in the 80s let me know but my Mum always said he created it. Nothing wrong with the guy mind you.
My other brother, we used to visit him and his first wife three times a year and they had two children slightly older than ours, it only dawned on me recently they never came to visit us, just my parents a few miles away and we were welcome to join. The only time they came to see us was to use us a week long babysitting service so they could go to the states. Before they got divorced he was a complete ****, nothing short of disgraceful, his wife had gained more than a few pounds and his 'anti-fat person' streak was on full display. Others didn't see this and his presented persona was ex-RAF superfit, charity concious ironman competitor who would do training cycle rides to my parents who were 60 miles away, do odd jobs and ride home again.
We had a couple of successful 'family' breaks when the children were younger, everyone gets on. A couple of years ago I suggested we all get together again, thought my retired parents would enjoy organising it as they always take over anyway. Nothing happened. I asked repeatedly, no interest. Boxing Day my niece sends a facebook post 'Having the greatest time with the best fam ever" both brothers families and my parents. Saracastically replied "Glad my idea of getting together worked for some". The following year my Mum's cancer won in late October, they did it again. To be fair my brother and I had already said at the funeral "let's not pretend we are going to keep in touch or anything". So they don't like us, not a problem, knowing where you stands means no wasted energy on it.
Whilst this is my opinion my children, who asked the question why weren't invited, have done their own homework through extend family and have come to the conclusion, not worth bothering with.
Hugs. Yep nothing screws you up like family.0 -
@TheMrWobbly My brother and I have no relationship, none. Why? Politics! Politics! He throws huge temper tantrums over politics, unbelievably sad. I don't talk about politics in front of him because he is a very sensitive, easily disturbed person. Seriously?! Heaven forbid anyone should have differing political opinions or views from him. My toddler throws less tantrums than my forty year old brother.
I'm sorry your brother is an A-hole from hell.5 -
@7lenny7 I ran my first Marathon on the 16th. I ate up until 7:00 the night before and nothing the morning of up until I hit the finish line when I started feeling a little woozy. Four hours of sleep and I had been up for 5 hours by the time the Marathon finally kicked off (late start). So bad feeling probably a combination of tiredness and anxiety mixed with a low dip in blood sugar. I put a little energy gel on my tongue and problem fixed. I fast, no problem with it. Even longer fasts don't bother me and I'm learning about how to burn fat through fasting. I don't like to weigh above 105 pounds because that's too much weight for me to carry on long runs but I would be thrilled to weigh less, less fat. Heck, I'd be thrilled to even weigh more but have solid muscles and no flab at all because at least the muscles are working and not taking up useless space. I saw a few large people running and kudos to them but I know how much I struggle with alot of extra fat weighing on me. I am NOT fast to begin with. That is not why I did not eat the morning of, though...
My brother-in-law said he was terrified of pooping his pants at every Marathon (this was his 5th) so he skipped breakfast every time. I've seen people here talk about periods, breasts, bras, and every other issue or curiosity a runner may have. Anyway, my stomach held up strong and I ate nothing until after the 17th mile marker. I ate pretzels and a granola bar. Anyway, I am surprised that you can eat so much during a Marathon. I love greasy food, just wouldn't be brave enough to try it during a long run. Within an hour I had to find a bathroom. We ate Whataburger on the way home and I didn't even finish most of my meal, got ill again. My stomach did not settle down until that night and by that time I was really hungry. I'm going to do better nutritionally the night/day before and day of to include during and after. I know T1DCarnivoreRunner has run several Marathons and he knows what works for him. But I'm running another one in 3 months and I am going to train better and stronger for this next one. Anyway, I'm going to fast after lunch like him and only take in electrolytes the morning of. All I needed was that touch of energy gel the morning of. I've done longer runs on 20+ hour fasts and I run and feel better that way. I couldn't even enjoy the beer, nothing after my Marathon. Felt great except for a torn up stomach and expected muscle aches. Definitely an area I need to work on and educate myself in. Lots to learn, but I won't eat so late next time because maybe it contributed to the sick stomach. One day maybe I'll say I ate pizza on a run!2 -
A couple of weeks ago Kody and I had the glorious experience of trail running in a fresh 7 inches of snow at my favorite local park. Though it was a difficult run, effort is effort and we loved it out there. I thought I'd share some of the photos.

This needs the return of the love reaction.4 -
I agree @PastorVincent! I was almost ready to give @7lenny7 a 'hug' ❤️ just because it is a heart. Those pictures are beautiful and Kody looks like he is just loving it!!
@TheMrWobbly - I think most every family has their issues. I haven't talked to my oldest brother in over 30 years. When my stepmother passed away I had to hunt my SIL down on LinkedIn to let them know and was told they couldn't care less. My middle brother and I are pretty close and we talk about once a month or so. I also have a cousin I am very close to who is more like an older brother (he's about the same age as my oldest brother).
In contrast to @7lenny7's snow pictures and the cold temps so many of you are having, it is hot here this week. It has been in the mid to high 80's and was supposed to hit 90 today but I am not sure it will quite make that. I went out late for my run and it was already well over 80, maybe 85 even. But there are these strange high clouds making it look kind of gloomy. We used to call it shake and bake weather when we would get it in September/October because for whatever reason we would have earthquakes when it was like this. That was my 1st thought when I headed out. So far no earthquakes though. Initially I kept thinking it was too hot to run and maybe I would just do a walk/run in my neighborhood and then thought well maybe I will just get to the trail and then come home. Once I got over to the trail though there was a lovely breeze and the temp had actually dropped a degree or two. Also it was so incredibly dry I stopped pretty much at every drinking fountain to just have a sip and moisten my mouth. I didn't really even get sweaty, my shirt was dry, but I am sure I was and the breeze was just taking the moisture away. Just a couple of minutes after being home I was soaked and dripping though.😅 It was a much better run than I thought it could possibly be. On to strength training tonight! Hope it isn't too much legs focused.

Sorry for all of you with family drama and troubles 💔. Our family isn't immune, but I just choose to not engage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Great pictures @7lenny7! Kody looks like he is having a blast.
6 miles for me this evening. Starting to feel like myself again (that's not necessarily a good thing 🙄). But it helped to have perfect weather. Managed to knock out a sub 9 min/mi pace.7 -
@shanaber interesting about the "shake and bake". My mum was always convinced we got more earthquakes in April and October due to the change of seasons. Wonder if there is any truth to it? And we get a lot of earthquakes in NZ.
I had a lazy ish day. Went for a 3k run, then did a short strength training session, and then went for a short walk in the park before meeting up with an old friend I haven't seen in about 12 years for coffee. Just a wonderful, perfect day.
Can't believe the end of Feb is here tomorrow! Who's gonna do the march thread?

Early morning at the gym today for a mace workout (for the study I'm in) before my hybrid cardio/strength training class. In between I did a very short treadmill run just to get the minimum in for today.
We didn't get much of the predicted snow, but it turned really cold here overnight and there is a wind advisory currently. It's pretty miserable out there and I'm not looking forward to the next few days. Not sure I'll end up reaching my 100-mile goal for February. It all depends on whether I get my long run in on Saturday, which is looking iffy at the moment.6 -
@7lenny7 I will definitely have to investigate the honey water thing you mentioned when I get back to mileage that needs fuel. I am willing to invest in gu and other things, on the rare occasion my runs are long enough to need fuel, but the not dealing with the sticky mess thing is something I can totally get behind. I end up feeling sticky enough after a long run, I try not to add to it. Also, in training, the caffeine that is often included in pre-made substances, isn’t always appreciated for after work runs.
Also, I love the kody pictures... but it is making me contemplate how much of a wuss/loser I am being by not going out on snowy trails and instead dreadmilling it. May have to try an adventure/USFS trail/snowshoe trail run this weekend, when I have time to thaw.
Today was 2.3 miles, and the first sub 15 minute mile (aka sub reasonable walking pace aka “pack test” pace) of this regroup.
This also means I am at 25.3 / 25 for my loosely set/mid-month determined goal.
I may have to go look at notes to see when I last actually met my intention for mileage. Also means I should probably start thinking of a goal for next month that is lofty enough I can go back to my traditional “set a goal I totally don’t reach” mode. Like, I can’t go changing who I am, or the girl y’all know, and actually meet my goals twice in a row or anything...ya know?6 -

2/27: Yesterday’s run felt ok, not great. And today, had a chiropractor appt. He said my right rib cage area of my back was so tight and knotted up and that in his opinion was the actual cause of my tight hip flexor area. I have no idea why….don’t feel stressed, don’t recall any event that did it. Had a massage done last week and she said the same thing….big knot in that area. She worked on it for an hour. Sigh….he also said that running wasn’t helping. I’m at a loss……maybe I just need to chill for a while. 😫

Thinking about my 5 siblings makes the other side of my back seize up. 🤣 While I love them all, I only really get along with a few of them. We are all so different. I prefer each of them one on one....family gatherings are not a good idea.2

Well, I did drink too much free wine at the conference dinner, but I did manage to get out on Wednesday morning for a jaunt along the Mersey. I was lucky that the start was a back wind, as it was cold, blowy and sporadic showers. By the time I turned back at 4km, I had to traverse that distance, whatever, and running was the quickest and warmest way of getting back. At least until the hail storm hit me in the face at 7km! Holy Hades, that was *bitter*. I was very glad to get back to the hotel for a hot shower! As expected, not enough sleep, too much wine and getting chilled to the bone has meant I've not been out since Wednesday, but all I have to do is a nice 5km tomorrow to meet my February goal. All I have to do now is decide on my March goal!
Hugs to all of you with family issues. I don't have much extended family, and I get along with my sister just fine - in fact we run together twice a year.
Goals for the year:
1. Get back down to a decent running weight (currently set at 160lb)
2. Run a sub-60 minute 10K
3. Run at least 4 10K races
Current races planned:
14/06 Lincoln 10K

The wind died down here so this morning’s run was a nice 29F (real feel 25F).
My only sibling (my sister) died from a form of acute leukemia when we were teenagers. I often feel sad that I don’t have other siblings, nieces or nephews. But then I read this thread and don’t feel so bad!

Mostly cloudy with occasional snowflakes, windy, and low 20s F this morning. Footing was better than yesterday, but not by a lot. Had one significant slip, but caught myself and didn't do any structural damage. Today's run was in honor of my birthday; the first person to correctly guess my chronological age will get a big MFP hug (provided I can figure out how to do emojis).
Next year when you pop in here claiming your December 2020 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?
Return to a good running weight of 175 lbs

Mostly cloudy with occasional snowflakes, windy, and low 20s F this morning. Footing was better than yesterday, but not by a lot. Had one significant slip, but caught myself and didn't do any structural damage. Today's run was in honor of my birthday; the first person to correctly guess my chronological age will get a big MFP hug (provided I can figure out how to do emojis).
Next year when you pop in here claiming your December 2020 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?
Return to a good running weight of 175 lbs
Run at least 4 5k races
Get a 5k PR
Average at least 138k per month, to meet my Run the Year pledge of 1,020 miles
Run the Year Team: Pavement Pounders
2020 races:
4-25 Shine the Light 5k, Twinsburg, OH
5-23 Race for the Parks 5k, Hudson OH
6-20 Freedom Run 5k, Aurora, OH

Happy Birthday! I'm guessing 63!1 -
Morning!
I have "rested," allllll week because the IT band syndrome crap. Lots of stretching, lots of foam rolling, lots of strength traning focused on glutes, flexors, and hammies.
I really need a run.
Not a lot of pain today, just barely a twinge in my back hip joint. i hope it stays away for tomorrow - tomorrow is going to be 64 degrees F here and I soooooo want to get out and run. I'm getting excited.
I also would like to buy some running shorts, but I don't know what I like. I have some cute nike ones that are SO comfortable, but I don't know if they're too short and they fit as tight as leggings do, but they're shorts. I feel like I should get some that are more loose-fitting. I also want pockets. Lots and lots of pockets.
I think i have been trading pain in the IT band for pain in other areas - today it's a knot behind my right scapula (shoulder blade + I think I spelled scapula wrong). Getting old is dumb. It's a new thing every other day. That's what my elders say and it's frustrating because I think it's so preventable and I must not be doing something right.
Under Armour sent me an email for $40 off $100 - I'm sure you all got it too lol. I wonder if they have some joggers that my daughter would wear....3 -
@Tramboman - Happy Happy Birthday! 🥳
Seeing as how no one else has guessed yet I will give it a try... I was going to say 64 but then I saw your mileage so will say 68?
Not only did you do all the March work, you win the hug, too.🤗!!!

Happy Birthday @Tramboman! I'm thinking you're 68. Way to get out there in the snowy weather. And you got us our 400 mile bib!
@shanaber beat you by a minute, but I have a hug for my teammate 🤗.1
