Garmin had a 1.5 hr run on the schedule today. Garmin seems to take a different view on pacing a long run that Hanson's did. Hanson's has a target pace about 1 min slower than race pace. Garmin had me targeting about 2.5 mins slower. Luckily it gives you a range to work within because with the cooler temps it was hard to go very slow. I ended up averaging about 1.5 mins slower than race pace. It did feel very slow and easy, which I guess was the point.
Then to the grocery store so my kid could find some new food options. They typically eat a really narrow range of foods and it's difficult to get them to try something new. So we walked up and down every aisle today and I was pleasantly surprised at the number and variety of things they chose. Hopefully some of it will stick for a while. I was just happy to see them willing to try some stuff.8 -
creeping up on 130 for the month with another 5 this morning. About 7 to go with 4 days so should make it.

Woooow! Look at this! I started my long run aiming at 7km with a stretch goal of 8, and I did manage it somehow. Weather was perfect though: cold-ish and no wind. Also nice: I kept up my pace, thus there's hope I'll manage to run the 10k I'm training for at this pace as well (not a race).10 -

How do you guys manage to run so much and not have feel problems? I'm having so much hard spots underneath my feet (especially at the front food between the extension of the toes) and it's just so unpleasant. Yeah, I'm hypermobile and my tissue just seem to squeeze into gaps and then get hard or blistery, but still...4

I’m 1 run from goal. I’m flying to Dublin tomorrow morning to meet my sister for a wedding fair and back Monday. I’ve packed my running gear so might get a run on Monday morning before checking out. We r staying in the Gresham hotel on O’Connell street so looking forward to this.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes. Much appreciated!6 -

Sounds like wonderful weather for a run yesterday @chris_in_cal .
@ContraryMaryMary Looks like a great place for a run. It's good that so many people were out getting some exercise, but I get wanting to be alone too.
Hahaha @tarun_yadavA . I tend to agree with you. I've tried most of those diets in my lifetime. They work temporarily, but aren't sustainable for me. So, running and portion size is what works for me. Great running.
@kgirlhart I hope you enjoyed your rest day and that you have great weather for your run tomorrow. I also hope the work stress decreases soon.
@martaindale Nice running. That's speedy for an "easy" pace. I'm glad your kids are willing to try new foods and hope some of the good choices will stick.
Great mileage @SummerSkier .
You are doing so good @yirara ! Keep up the good work.
Great running. Thank you and yes @AlphaHowls .
Enjoy your trip @Mari33a ! I hope you get the run in and make your goal while you are there.

I continued my Peyton's training today and ran 3 5Ks. The rain was predicted to start around 8:00 am, so I started my first 5K at 6:00 am. It was cloudy but the big bright moon was still shining through the clouds and the temp was 43F. I started my next 5K at 8:00 am and actually saw the sun shining for a few minutes. The temp was 45F. Luckily the rain held off and I started my next 5K at 10:00 am and it was 50F. It started raining around 11:45 - @quilteryoyo - I hope you were able to get outside before it started.7

76.50/85.00 mile goal
I needed to get some things done this morning before heading to a wedding this afternoon, so I didn't have time for a long workout. I did manage to get out for a driveway wun before the ran hit, so that was a win. The temperature was 52°F (11.1°C), cloudy, and humid. Not quite as good as the last couple of days, but I'll take it.
My wun was an average pace of 15:14 min/mile or 3.9 mph. But, my Avg HR was 137 with a max of 153 bpm. I attribute that to having not slept well at all last night and being stressed.

My new nephew has Ehlers-Danlos and hasn't been able to start walking yet...he just turned four. I'm a twenty year yoga practitioner, and I am decidedly not hypermobile, I might be typical but I'm not rulling out hypomobile.Yeah, I'm hypermobile
Joints are often a big deal, but I think feet are the biggest deal for runners. Some plucky few never have problems, but I think nearly all of us deal with our own issues. Hypercushioning, barefoot, tight fit, comfortable stretchy fit, sockless, thick socks, petroleum jelly, powder, who knows? Good luck, and just know nearly all of us are on our own journey's on how to deal with our weird foot stuff.4 -
I'm glad you got that awesome training in for the Peyton before the rain hit @Teresa502 . You're going to do great this year.3

Beautiful quilts @polskagirl01! I love the original design appliqué quilt. They are all beautiful but the color and design of that one speak to me. Years ago we made several trips to the Amish country in PA and were fortunate to become friends with a couple there who had a daughter the same age as our daughter. Over the years Nancy has designed and made several quilts for us including one that the girls designed with hearts and teddy bears. I was talking to my oncologist about a quilt a friend made me for treatment days and he said in India (like in Poland) quilting is not something they are familiar with. He asked why I thought they were so good at keeping us warm and as I replied all the technical reasons I could think of (layers of fabric and batting, etc.) when he interrupted me and said he was pretty sure it was just all the love that went into making them. I think he was right!
Can't wait to see pictures of your new and improved immersion tank. Hang in there with the no sugar plan. I think it takes a while for your body to make the changes and start using up the fat in your body instead of converting the sugar.
Happy Birthday @Mari33a! I hope you have a wonderful trip to Dublin and some good running while you are there!
@kgirlhart - Have you tried using one of those UV lights (SAD light)? When my daughter 1st moved to Seattle she got one and found it really helped her. I hope you can get in a few runs while the weather is nice.
@quilteryoyo - Sending you big hugs. You have definitely been in my thoughts. I hope you can get some sleep and let some of that stress go.
@martaindale - Your easy pace has gotten so fast! You are doing so well with just good consistent running to your plan! Glad your kid found some new things to try! Do they cook? I know it helped my daughter to expand her food horizons when she started cooking some of the entrees and getting to control what went into the dishes and how they were prepared.
@AlphaHowls - you continue to amaze me that you can run so far while suffering with gout in your knee.
@yirara - the only issue I have had with my feet specifically over all the years has been a stress fracture in the 2nd with metatarsal and very early on a torn plantar fasciitis. I do agree with @ContraryMaryMary that finding the shoes and socks that work for you is most important. Once I had that sorted I have not had any other foot issues.
I am glad to see so many of you who have had such cold weather to now have a break and some warmer weather. We hit 80 today and it was super windy but like @chris_in_cal said the last few days, after all the rain, were lovely. I didn't get out today or yesterday but I was able to get out Wednesday and Thursday after the rain. The oncologist cleared me to run if I felt up to it so of course I had to give it a try as soon as possible (the next day 😁). I went on my normal neighborhood walking route, not wanting to try going any longer yet. I walked the 1st and last 0.5 mile for warmup/cooldown. Then ran the straights and walked the cul-de-sacs trying not to overdo it. It wasn't fast and it was hard. My legs felt fatigued but otherwise felt great! Hobbes was very confused but seemed to enjoy it too. On Thursday we went out for a repeat but my legs were really tired so I ended up not going quite as far. I am planning to get out tomorrow morning before the football playoffs start (and before it gets too hot - can't believe I am saying that in January!). The first part of this next week is supposed to be nice and then rain is due again. I have exceeded my nominal 20 mile goal and I may even hit 25 or 30 depending how I am feeling.9 -
Morning all.
Ran 5.65M (at 10'07 pace).
Ran first 2M with 9yr old doing laps on the footpath of the park by our house!
Have a lovely Sunday all.10 -
It's definitely the love! Curling up in a quilt is like getting a hug from the person who made it for you.Beautiful quilts @polskagirl01! I love the original design appliqué quilt.

I agree it can take some time to adapt to changes to more healthy eating. I had been stress-eating and grief-eating SO much junk, so it feels good even just mentally to know I'm not currently doing that and have some control over part of my health (even if I can't see a difference). And to be clear, weight loss is not my priority right now, but if the CICO math says it should be happening, and it's not, well that's a bit frustrating. I'll continue cheering on my body to do it's job of healing, and will log this week just out of curiosity. I'll even start today - my planned day to go over calorie allowance. The most aggressive MFP goal calls for 1200 calories 😳, so that's what my diary shows as goal, but I played around with it, and anything under 1900 should still result in at least a slow loss, and my planned overage day today is within that. We'll see how it goes and what I can observe about my current eating habits.
New tub (with a "frost-safe" plant from a friend as decoration)! As you will see the weather is not exactly cooperating.Kids are off to winter camp for the week, and husband has a work trip coming up, so I'll have some time to myself! Looking forward to [hopefully] lots of relaxing and encouraging healing in my body.
I can sit in it with my legs fully stretched out 🤩8 -

Was annoyed that my fastest 5k was faster than my fastest 3k so wanted to know whether I can change that. Well, kind of. I managed 15 minutes at that pace and then had to walk for a few steps and then run again. But it's an improvement as my previous attempt at just running faster was substantially slower. 😅8 -
Thank you so much @shanaber . I am so excited to hear you are running again. I'm not surprised that your legs were tired the second day. It's been a while since "they" ran. So, be careful, which I know you will be, to not do too much, too soon. I still remember the horrible shin splints I had when I first started running and don't wish that on anyone. I love that the doctor said it was the love that keep us warm. I agree with him on that one.
Another nice run @tarun_yadavA . Glad you son joined you for part of it.
@polskagirl01 That looks like a much better/comfortable tub for emersion. I hope you enjoy it and can get some relaxation while you have alone time this week.
You are doing great and showing such improvement @yirara !

What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday's run was so tough but today's run was wonderful. The weather was so nice. It was 33°F when I got up, but it had warmed up to about 42° when I headed out and was 56°F by the time I was finished. The sun was shining and it wasn't windy. I ran 10 miles and passed my goal of 125 miles. I really needed a good run today. Next week will be stressful again at work. Running does help though.
@shanaber I haven't ever tried the light therapy, but I have thought about it.

Morning all.

These were my first thoughts as well. I have tried quite a few brands of socks before settling on injinji. As my runs got longer I started getting little cuts and irritated skin where one toenail would push into the adjacent toe as my feet would swell, especially on hot days. Injinji eñiminated that. I have also noticed that different shoes will give me callouses on different parts of my feet. Part of the reason I have two brands in my rotation. These shoes I really love give me a callous on the medial ball of my right foot more than my left. But if I mix in another brand and do some foot care, it doesn't get to the point of being bothersome.8 -
@shanaber Yay for getting to run!
My kid is learning to cook a little. Simple stuff. Mostly they aren't interested in anything that takes too much time. The biggest factor is their ADHD. A lot of people with ADHD have hyper fixation on certain foods then eat them so much they can't eat them at all for a very long time. They can also have lots of weird aversions to textures, mouth feel, etc that change from time to time. And they forget to eat or don't realize they are hungry. It's a powerful combo and they have expressed multiple times over the years that they wish we just didn't need to eat at all to survive. They really view it as a chore, something I totally don't get. I love earing food, cooking it, the creative process, the whole thing.5 -

Garmin had a sprint workout suggested today. It was perfect weather for it. The sprints were only 15 secs each and at a pace that I can only dream of hitting but I did what I could. I have never done a workout like this before. It wasn't bad though I was thinking a lot about not falling during the sprints.
Also went to Pilates yesterday and did a walk on the treadmill in the evening.6 -

Watching the joy with which my Grandfather made delicious toast was a most cherished childhood experience. He'd slather it with butter and sling it across the table to the newspaper I'd been examining. I'd silently crunch away and read, as he started preparation for the next round.
Now that is simple cooking.6 -

Woops, nearly posted in the wrong thread. Didn't go too well today, mainly because I started out far too fast and then lost steam along the way 😅 Anyway. Done and dusted.6 -
I ran 3 miles at our local park at lunch today. The temperature was 32 and it was windy. We had some snow flurries earlier this morning but they didn't amount to anything.
Thanks for setting up February @AlphaHowls!6 -
Hi everyone!
I went for a speed workout today. It was slightly below freezing, and a bit cold for me for a fast run. I didn’t/couldn’t hit the splits I wanted to (“I can’t hit the splits YET” - I kept telling myself), but I did what I could, didn’t slip on the somewhat frozen pavement and was happy that I saw it through. I ran a total of 11.2km including warmup, 30 minutes at 10k race pace, cool-down and recovery. Tomorrow is long run day
.
Also, I made my monthly goal! I have 209.9/200km for January so far with two days to go. I haven’t run over 200km in a month since last May. I’m glad it worked out this month!8 -
I may try to crank out 22 miles on Wednesday to make my goal...or not. Looks like I'll get my runs total in this month (13.) Next month's goal will probably be much more obtainable.
I talked with my boss today, and I'm going to start taking time to do longer mid-day runs on Monday and Wednesday, that's good. I'll be able to more time and miles in.
January Running Goal: 13 runs,50 miles- Jan 3 -1.2 miles
- Jan 6 -1.06 miles
- Jan 8 -1.15 miles
- Jan 11-2.48 miles
- Jan 13-2.48 miles
- Jan 15-1.78 miles
- Jan 17-2.47 miles
- Jan 19-2.73 miles
- Jan 21-3.24 miles
- Jan 24-2.15 miles
