    @Camaramandy648 So sorry that you are in so much pain. Your knee pain could be from compensating for the hip pain and running with a weird gait. Glad biking worked out. I have forgotten, have you been to the doctor yet? Maybe it's time if you haven't.

    Thanks @shanaber . I am thinking I'll probably try to find some 10K races and either repeat the last 4 - 6 weeks of the plan or maybe look at a marathon plan to start at about the point of a HM. I'll decide when I get to that point.

    @katharmonic Glad your run was ok and you got to try some outdoor rock climbing. I would be one that would have to be tethered. No free climbing for me.

    @rheddmobile Glad you got a run in. You have a great place to run and see all of that wildlife.

    @Camaramandy648 Sorry to hear that your hip hurt. Impressed that you hopped on the bike and kept going. Grit!!!!!

    I am heading to my local HEB (grocery chain) to get some toothpaste and some version of protein for dinner. Wish me luck. If I don't return, may you all PBs some time in 2020 <3

    re: dogs. it can be so many things. mostly, it's insecurity and poor socialization. sometimes it's inbreeding

    Sunny, low 30s F this morning with a little frost and a little wind from the east. I was planning to get new shoes today, but decided to get them yesterday instead. Good thing -- all New Balance retail stores are closed beginning today. Went easy in the new shoes and although the hip pain was there, it was not radiating into the knee.
    In retrospect, I have done the SAME STUPID THING I do to myself all the time. If I run 5 days a week, I feel strong, so I up my runs to 6 days a week. After a couple of weeks, I begin to break down, so I cut back to 5 days a week, wondering why my right SI joint, hip and knee hurt. It's only a problem from October to April, when I'm not playing golf two days a week.
    Please forgive me for unloading...

    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
    Stretch goal: If I can average 169k per month, I can run 2020K in 2020

    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

    Great timing on the shoes, but sorry about the hip pain. It sounds like you need to make a note to yourself for the next time you're thinking about adding a sixth day. That or find an off-season cross-training activity!

    Welp, I knew it was coming . . . my race next weekend has been cancelled. Even knowing it was coming, I'm disappointed. It's one of my annual favorites.

    I'm thinking about running the race on my own - same day/time/course. Would you be interested?

    @MegaMooseEsq Absolutely! I was going to be running that day anyway and I've enjoyed the course during previous years.

    @mbaker566 You did a LOT of running over the weekend. That race sounds very difficult and looks like I would get lost trying to follow the trail. Love the pictures. Did everyone who ran have a dog? It sure looks like it in the picture.

    As suspected, it was announced that we are to begin working remotely from now until at least March 30, and we will not resume any in-person classes the rest of the semester. I spent the day trying to get some things finished and prepare to not be in my office. And then it was announced that all gyms, restaurants and bars are to close tonight until further notice. I know several states made that call today. It's quite the dose of reality.

    I had planned to go to running group tonight, which at this point is still going on, although with limited size groups and keeping distance from each other. But I couldn't get out of work earlier enough, so I ended up getting just a quick run in when I got home, just before it got dark. That's 90 days of running completed.

    I felt this immediate sense of isolation in getting home tonight. Normally I love evenings at home, but it feels so different. I'm thankful for running to get me out of the house and seeing some people (at appropriate social distances :))
