It was so cool out today, I was sorry I had only brought shorts with me to run. Of course it ended up being fine once I got started but how quickly we went from 90 to 60 made it feel very chilly.
I ran with a friend and it was her 69th birthday today. She was a coach in the walk to run group when I started almost 6 years ago, and she definitely took me on and got me involved in a great group of women who run together almost every week. She's working on a marathon in all 50 states and is hoping to get to 42 this year with 3 more races. Last year of course was a bust so she's feeling like it's hard to get back to that kind of training. I think the year before she did 7 marathons or something like that. She's an amazing woman and the local cable news did a little story on her and ran it today, on her birthday!10 -
Half has been cancelled. I'm not disappointed. I am sad for others though and the organisers. I am sad to not have a weekend away.
Damn you covid.9 -
Dang it @Avidkeo, sorry for your cancelled HM. Really thought we (or at least some parts of the world) were putting this covid crap behind us. That really stinks.
@katharmonic great that you were able to run with your friend on her 69th birthday. That is so great that she is still so active!
7 miles this morning. At least is was below 80F and dew point in low 70s. Thought it was going to be an easy run, but it turned into a progression run. The last 4 miles are what I am aiming for to be my easy run pace by the end of summer (around 8:30/mi).

This morning I ran a 1-mile warm-up followed by 3 miles of hill repeats and ending with 1-mile cool down back to the car. Very pleasant morning at 55F and the moon was beautiful.
@kgirlhart – Hope you are feeling back to normal today.
That’s funny about “Sally” @quilteryoyo. If I had to keep up with a room full of 2-3 year olds I probably wouldn’t know where I was half the time!
@katharmonic – Your 69-year old friend is amazing! I can’t imagine doing 7 marathons in one year and I’m not nearly 69!
@Scott6255 – Amazing pace as always!
2 -
@katharmonic Glad you had a good run with your friend for her 69th birthday. I hope she can find her mojo and get those marathons completed.
@Avidkeo Sorry to hear the HM was cancelled. I'm sure the organizers are so disappointed after putting in all the work to get there.
@Scott6255 Nice run. It's hard to believe that people, like you, are aiming for an easy pace that would be a sprint for me. I'm in awe.
@Teresa502 Three miles of hill repeats? That is amazing.

Sunny, upper 50s F, with little wind. My back stiffened up yesterday after chiro adjustment, running, and stretching -- not painful, but tight. Felt the aftereffects this morning.
@Avidkeo Sorry about your half.
@katharmonic Hurray for your friend. I get tired just thinking about a 10k, let alone a half or a marathon.
@quilteryoyo Welcome to the mature generation!!!

@Teresa501 definitely a Laz right ha ha you are so right, that’s fun you know two of the runners. Linda (the girl I know) has run in this area for a while. I was actually surprised to see her try it, didn’t think it was up her alley to be honest. Glad she’s doing good though at 225 this morning.
@WhatMeRunning the first female to finish, Kimberly Durst, her sister or sister in law has been posting on facebook, what a hoot. I guess Kim gets scared at night to calls her.
@rheddmobile glad you and hubby were able to get out, if we trail run early I send Skip out in front of me, she’s a great web catcher. I also HATE sand on trails, it’s like stepping in quick sand. Glad your mom’s housekeeper has been able to give you a rest, it’s important to take care of yourself.
Ugh @Avidkeo I understood what you meant in your post. – sorry about your half
@kgirlhart saw on Strava you were feeling better, glad to hear it.
@quilteryoyo I love that you work at the daycare, that is a crazy age you have though. Poor Sally ha ha
@katharmonic so cool that the cable channel did a news story on your friend, Happy Birthday to her
Nice progressive run @Scott6255

Happy to say that I finished up my challenge this morning. 500 km in 12 weeks. It pushed me way past my comfort zone and honestly, there were days I was not sure I'd finish in time. But, I kept telling myself it wasn't over until it was over and to keep pressing on.

So sorry @Avidkeo
I get it, there are more important things than running [gasp!], but these races do matter to those of us who run them, and it's totally OK to be sad about it even while agreeing with the decision.
I ran yesterday in the forest with the girls but might've overcooked myself running the 7k to get there from my house in the sun & humid heat. Took a rest day today.8 -
Was a bit nervous today. Running programme asked for a 50 + 30 minutes optional slow run. I managed 60 minutes, which came down to 5 miles/8km. At the fastest 5 mile pace ever - not surprising though as it's not a distance I've ever run a lot. Well, the goal pace for my 10k plan is 7:30. This run was 7:28. Go figure. Looks like I only need to find strength for 2 more km, and then I'm there.9
-
Thanks guys. I'm doing another HM in e weeks that I will probably just do virtually.
I'll now build a base and work towards a sub 2hr Half for my run in October with @ContraryMaryMary
7 -
5k from WC Johnson park to Cox park and back, then a walk along the boardwalk. Slow but my husband didn’t have to stop due to his heart! And the weather was perfect. Strava died at the beginning of our walk but I believe we went about 6 miles total. Now to slowly build back to our usual routine - he is gunshy about doing too much right now.
@Avidkeo sorry about the half but even more sorry to hear about the COVID scare.6 -

I got out and ran 5 miles this morning. It was hot and I was really slow. I stopped and walked a few times when I pulled my water bottle out, but did run most of the way. I felt ok, but I have been pretty tired today. I 'very been really busy at work and for accounting that means tied to the desk. I actually felt better at lunch when I got up and moved around so I don't think it was necessarily the running that made me so tired. I also haven't eaten enough the last couple of days, but today I have done better about eating. I'll definitely take it easy tomorrow and may even take a rest day if I think I need too.
2021 Races:
4/24/21: Run For The Children 10K PR 55:46:28.

@skippygirlsmom I am a sub at the daycare, so I have all the ages on various days...from 6 months to 5 years. Tomorrow, I'm in the 4-5 year old class. They are usually a hoot. Hopefully I won't "lose" any of them.
Nice progress @yirara !
@rheddmobile Glad to see you are able to run with your hubby. It's totally understandable that he is gun shy. Once he gets "enough" miles in and sees that he is ok, he'll get more comfortable with it. I know that's how I felt when I first found out I had the aneurysm.
@kgirlhart Glad you are feeling some better. The stomach flu is nothing to sneeze at. Not being able to eat properly really affects your stamina. Take it easy and hope you get back to normal soon.
The AC repairman showed up about 11:15. As I figured, I had fixed the problem yesterday, but decided I'd go ahead and keep the appointment so they could check it out, just to be sure everything was good before the heat really sets in for the summer. The issue was the sump pump, I guess that is what it is called, was stopped up and the water had spilled over from the catch pan into the bottom of the unit and into the floor. It took him all of about 5 minutes to check the Freon and let me know that all is well.
I went out for my run when he left - at 11:45. It was only 70°F so thought it would be comfortable, but it was really hot in the sun and I felt it. Plan called for a 25 minute easy run. I did 2.5 miles in 30:52 minutes. Pace wasn't too bad for an easy run. Also walked one mile total for warm up and cool down.
Ended at mom's and talked to her for a few minutes, strolled home, ate a spoon of peanut butter, changed clothes and went out to mow my lawn. Finished a little over two hours later. Busy, active day.7 -
Hugs and likes all around!

HM/marathon group tonight was 1 minute intervals with 1 minute recovery between x 16. Then 4 sprints. Warmup and cooldown of 10 minutes each. It was fortunately another nice, cooler night, although plenty warm while running.6 -
Typically, we hit the shortest day day and the weather has turned... but for the better, in my opinion - the temperature has dropped significantly - it was only four degrees with frost when I walked the girls to school this morning - but gorgeously clear, still and sunny. Fabulous running weather, although I did have to get out a merino top and a windbreaker for my run at 11am. Odd that two days ago it was shorts and a t-shirt weather!9
