No run for me today. Got up yesterday and decided to do a 10K race (which went really well:happy: ), got home and took the kids to the pool and swam some laps, then did P90X back & biceps and Ab ripper. Think I'll just do Yoga today!

    Good job you! I did a 5k race yesterday - also went well, but missed my desired time by 30 seconds.

    Getting on the bike this morning for a fast 15 miles.

    3 miles yesterday, coming back from an injury. Are there minimums or any specific goals for this group?

    Ran 10K LSD this morning. Perfect running weather - Temps in the upper 40s. I may do a 10K race with a friend in a couple of weeks so I thought I better at least do a couple of runs at that distance before hand.

    No minimums or group goals. Your goals are your own (weight loss, increased endurance, increased race speed, whatever you are working on). The group is more about sharing experiences and support, with maybe a touch of accountability, if you haven't run all week without a good reason:laugh: .

    Great job, runners! I took my rest day. After 12 miles running Fri night, and 19 miles of a hilly, windy bike y'day I needed it. :wink: Feeling awesome though and pumped about the half marathon in 3 weeks! :bigsmile:

    Had a nice 12-mile run this afternoon.

    Good job everybody - especially those who ran good races!

    :drinker: I did five miles today and will shoot for seven tomorrow. This from a woman who couldn't run a mile in high school. I've been a walker for over fifteen years but have fallen in love with running. Way to go fellow runners!

    You are definitely not alone. I hate it. I just bought one for rainy and cold days, but I would much rather run outside.

    I did a 5k yesterday (Sunday, 3/22) with intentions of working on improving my time.

    Like others have said, I'm not really a "runner". I don't look like a runner. My body is bulky and dense. But I used running to help me lose weight abut 5 years ago and it kinda stuck. I love it. I definitely run on a regular basis. And I've done 2 8k races...actually they both boast "The World's Fastest 8k!". haha

    However, I've never tried to work on my pace or improve any kind of time or anything like that. I have have kept up with times, like my basic route run is a 5k, which has always been typically about 30 minutes. Yesterday, I decided to see what kind of time I could get keeping a decent pace because I've been doing some interval work lately and I really think that it's boosting my endurance.

    So anyway, I got a 27:25 5k yesterday so I'm please. :smile:

    Congrats! It's amazing how fast we can go when we break out of the 10-minute-mile mindset. I remember the first time I let myself go faster than that... It was actually easier!

    For my part, last night I did my first outdoor run of the season, 4.14 miles. My time wasn't so great, but considering that it contains most of the rather hilly course for the 4-mile race I'm doing on April 5, I felt pretty good, and I aim to repeat it in less time next weekend!

    Thanks!

    My road that I run on is pretty hilly. That's another reason I like running outside. I have inclide on my treadmill, but it's just not the same.

    Good luck on your race :smile:
