Way to go @Tramboman! 2nd in your age group is GREAT!
Pain free running.... you are living the dream @ContraryMaryMary!!
In the interest of fairness, I should point out that the 65 and up guy who beat me is 79 -- and he ran 29:41. Guess I still have more training to do.8 -
Great race @Tramboman! 2nd in your age group, regardless of who beat you, is awesome!! You also finished under your goal time! Thats a win too! I think as long as we keep moving consistently we've got improvements to make!
My fastest 5K time (29:27) was when I was 59 and had only been running a couple of years. I keep hoping I can get back to under 30 minutes. Have to be healthy and running consistently though to have any chance of it. I also haven't run many 5k (only 4) or 10k (only 2) races since I always concentrated on HMs (27)...5 -

Oh man, I hope I’m still running sub 30 5ks at almost 80, what a hardcore dude!
You did great, glad you had a good race! With real live people and everything! It gives me hope.6 -
Congrats @Tramboman! That is a great 5k time!2

Thanks, everyone!!!
Can't wait to see how tomorrow's recovery run goes.1 -
I can't keep up with this thread, it's fast!!!
Everyone is doing so well too!
5.6 mile run yesterday and 5.5 mile run today. I've now met my running goals for the month.
June cumulative:
121.3/120 mile
13,110/12,0009 -
Woo hoo well done @Tramboman0

Way to go @tramboman! You made your time goal and had fantastic placement!0
-
I'm afraid to go back and look at how many 65+ male runners there were. For all I know, second may also have been last...0

@yirara Hope you get to feeling better soon.
@Tramboman ! Nice run! Hitting your goal time and 2nd in your age group is fantastic!
@sweetdaisy13 WTG on making your monthly goal already!
Today's HM plan called for an 8 mile, easy pace, run. I actually got up early to run before it got hot and got out the door at 7:20. It was only 63°F, sunny, 83% humidity. I was actually cool in the beginning. That didn't last.
This was a really, really tough run for me. I felt every one of the 18,000 or so steps. My legs just did NOT want to work today - tight calves and right quad. Stretching didn't really help. It was a real struggle to finish, but I'm glad I did. All things considered, my pace wasn't bad for me - overall it was 12:40 min/mile. Best mile was the last one at 12:06 min/mile. It's amazing what you can do when you just want it to be over. LOL9 -
Realized I haven't posted an update since I hurt my arm. Seems like I was just getting the hamstring under control but at least it has gotten some extra rest. I have been getting out and walking with little bits of running and this last week started doing 30/30 run/walk intervals. When my arm hurts I walk or stop and rest it. Surprisingly holding my are still has not really made anything else hurt so I guess it hasn't affected my gait too much. Today my hamstring started talking to me around 5 miles so I stopped and did some of the PT leg swings and that seemed to calm it down with no more complaints for the rest of the run. My legs were definitely tired but no pain per se. I am sure my arm will be aching tonight though. Hoping to hear from the ortho office on Monday. It has been a challenging frustrating couple of weeks trying to get through the medical/insurance process with referrals and unavailability of doctors.
I may make my 80 mile goal but definitely not my reach goal of the 100 mile club.

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.

Which means I only have 6 until I reach my goal!! I’m going to make it, I’m so stoked 🎉6 -
I'm afraid to go back and look at how many 65+ male runners there were. For all I know, second may also have been last...
That's a great run @Tramboman! Second is amazing and it doesn't matter if there were only two of you.
I'm in my early 40s and in my Ultra Marathon a fortnight ago there was one competitor in his 60s and he beat me by 6 minutes with a time of 8 hours 2 minutes for 50k/31 miles!5 -
@shanaber Hope you get some answers soon. The red tape is so frustrating.
You are doing great @pabmac!
That guy is amazing @sweetdaisy13 . So are you!

Mostly sunny, low 70s F, humid, and a strong breeze from the south again today. Just wanted to do enough today to make sure everything was still OK, and it was.
I can't thank you all enough for the support and encouragement!!!
When you pop in here claiming your December 2021 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?

Decided to behave and not just go and run a HM today. Did manage to get double digit mileage today though.6 -
Happy to hear everything is in working order @Tramboman
Very nice long run @WhatMeRunning!
Nothing spectacular, but was hoping for a couple more miles. Right toe started getting a blister about mile 8 and it just kept hurting more and more so decided to just cut it after 13.2. It was miserably hot too, so I was fine with stopping. But hit my monthly goal, so I'm fine with that.
