I did my 12 mile run this morning. It went pretty good. Last mile was tough but I made it through. I did it at a 10.26 pace, total time was 2.05. Just two more weeks before my race I'm getting more and more excited.

Long run this morning went good. Was cold out only 36 degrees. Did 9.7 miles in a hour and twenty seven minutes. Came out to a 8 minute fifty seven second pace. Longest I have gone so far.0

Kimert - can't wait to hear how it went.
WOW JohnC - great run.
You two having an off week, sometimes those really help you refocus the next week. I find my best weeks are after a bad one. We all have them, hang in there!
I'm still doing my intense diet detox and really cutting back. BUT.... I just couldn't not run today. The weather is awesome, and cool, sunny, I knew I was having dinner with friends tonight (not on my diet really) so went for a quick 3.5 mile run. My time was 9:05, very excited over that. I know I can do a 9 mpm 5k if I want to.. Yeah!
My boss bought a treadmill today I can use on my lunch hour - I'm not a huge treadmill fan, but this will at least help me get through winter.0 -
PR'd my half marathon today.
2:19:43 official finish time.
I plan to write a full race recap (on my personal blog) so if anyone is interested in that send me a msg in my inbox.
The race went really well. The day was interesting. I have all kinds of details to share. I am tired and worn out given the late start and 4 hour round trip travel time.
hope everyone that ran today ran well! Good luck to those running tomorrow.0 -
Kimert- Congrats on your PR and awesome time! Can't wait to hear about it. and to all of those who rocked their long runs this weekend. I did my 5k Monster Dash yesterday with my 9 yr old son. AWESOME! I dressed up as a cop and I was chasing my prisoner son! lol
It was really fun. No chip time, ran along the lakefront in downtown Chicago it was beautiful out! We finished under 37 minutes.
Happy Sunday everyone!0 -
Great long runs JonC and Sharon!! Way to go!
Congrats on the awesome PR Kimert!!
Linnea, what a great costume idea for you and your son!! I'm glad you had fun!
Had my long run this morning. 10.7 miles in 1:52:12. I'm happy with that considering it is the coldest temperature I have ever run in and it was very windy thanks to the freak snow storm we got yesterday!0 -
Great Job Everyone. I am considering doing my long run tomorrow night instead of Thursday AM. I know I will be able to 8 miles at night no problem. I am thinking of making my Thursday run a 4 or 5 miler. My body just hates AM runs. My arms get clammy and even with a good cool down I feel dizzy when I stop.0

I'm so excited I guess I can't spell anymore either! LOL0 -
Hmm, I ran 4.8 miles in 50 minutes last night. my foot feels pretty good; I was smart for once and iced it right after the run so I think I minimized the twinge I felt right afterward. I am not really enjoying the 40 degree temps though, it really pulverized my lungs because I didn't even think to take my inhaler. Ah, well, next time!0

Hey everyone,
I have just signed up for the Adidas Half marathon in March, and I'm running for Mind, the mental health charity. Looking for some tips as to how I can progress, and how much you think I can literally do in the next 4 months.
Thanks.

I ran 4.7 in 42.53 min, that's a 9.06 min pace. It was a really good run and the weather was beautiful. I couldnt have asked for better.0

Back, finally! No power, heat, hot water, etc. since Friday! So no running or gym, either, as well as eating takeout food. Back on the wagon today 0

Hiya! Just seeing how everyone is doing with their training. My next isn't until May (as long as my foot doesn't act up again). It is still sore, but hopefully I see things turning around soon so I can run again.0

LOL!! I get REALLY excited when my races get close too I've got less than 3 weeks till my next one! 0 -
I ran 8 miles today. Longest run yet for me. I drove downtown to get a change of scenery. I used usatf.org to search for the distance I wanted to run so I would know the distance of my route before I started. Last mile was a struggle because my calves were in pain. My pace was about a 13:00 mile until then. I am so proud of myself.0

Do you get just as excited and nervous on each race or does it get better after you have already done one.0 -

I get just as excited with each one! This half coming up will only be my second, but I've done a bunch of 5Ks and I always feel that way. Part of it, is that I almost always run races with my family. So I get super excited about that! I'm running this half with my dad, so I think I'm most excited about seeing him! As far as the nerves, (and I can only speak for the 5Ks at this point) they get less and less each time 0 -
Hello everyone! Can I join this group?
I'm currently training for the Tinkerbell 1/2 Marathon at Disneyland in January 2012 and I'm having a blast!0 -

Of course ! Welcome
I have SO many friends that want me to do that one. I think it would be fun, but expensive for me for travel purposes.
I started Insanity: Asylum today. I've worked really hard these past two weeks to get down a few lbs, I have about 5 more to go. I'm really hoping to get ahead of myself in speed. I'm reading the book Racing Weight by Scott FItzgerald. It's very interesting and worth the time to read. Great information on nutrition.0 -

Thats so great that you get to run with your dad! I'm running with my husband, its his first too. Of course he's not nervous or excited. Thats a man for you. LOL0 -
There is nothing better then running with family. Enjoy it everyone who is. my wife and i ran together for a long time, she actually got me started running. But due to having our second child on the way she had to give up running with me. Makes for a lot of long runs by myself. Still enjoy them though.0

My husband started running with me a few months ago and I am so proud of him. We work opposite shifts at work and our time is limited together. I can't tell him enough how much him running too encourgages me to keep going.0 -

My husband would never run, but both my boys love to run and workout with me. My 10 did Asylum with me this AM, and they both took off yesterday on their own 2 mile run w/o me.0 -
I'm planning a long run tomorrow, it will be my first real run - other than just short fast runs, since my half marathon two weeks ago. I'm hoping for 10 miles, but really should do 13, worried about time constraints and getting to work not too late. I'm still looking for another half to sign up for in the next couple of months, haven't found anything yet, so may just do my own runs. Working to maintain 15 weekly.0

5.25 miles today. Still no long runs outdoors though. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm better suited to shorter runs. :frown:0

Time constraints are my biggest obstacle too. Finding a 1 hour block of time is hard enough, much less 2 hours. I also spin 2 hours a week, kick-box 2 hours, strength train 3 hours a week and fit in a yoga and pilates class. 15 is a reasonable amount of miles per week for me but I would like to work up to 20. Please tell me how some of you guys find time.
Oh, and I would like to have a day off too. Where is the time fairy? (Sorry! Rant over) 0
