Hello Fellow MFP'ers-

I need some accountability to get in some jogging this week. I want to try especially hard this week b/c the hot weather finally broke in the upper Midwest.

So, if you log any jogging or running miles this week please post here too. This way we can give each other pats on the back.
State how many minutes (or hours?) you ran for,
estimate your mileage and
post if you ran in the morning, afternoon or evening.

How does that sound?

Yes, it's been so hot here I haven't gotten much running in! I went running after work today. Went about 3.65 miles tonight in about 48 minutes (yes I'm very slow). I'll run again Wednesday and then have a 5K on Saturday!

3.2 miles for 30 minutes, then the thunderstorms hit

This is for last week:

Tue- 3miles/30min/evening
Wed- 3miles/28min/evening
Sun- 4miles/41min/early morning

Good luck with all your running goals!

Sure! I actually had the worst run I've ever had this evening. Normally I run in the morning on an empty stomach but I'm on vacation and decided to try running in the evening. The last thing I ate was a Luna bar about 2 hours before my run and my stomach was killing me! I definitely prefer running on a empty stomach. I also have a 5k this Saturday! Anyway...

2.5 miles for 24 minutes. I intended to do at least 3 miles, but my stomach wasn't having it.

Great idea. I am super pumped for tomorrows run now. The weather here (IA) is finally decent again. I will log tomorrow:).

This will be great! I also need this because I am training for the chicago half marathon this September! I ran 3miles this afternoon. I kept an average pace of 10 min per mile (6mph). Omma_to_3, good luck this Saturday...you'll do great!

And good luck to everyone! Hooray for running

Ran this morning on the treadmill because it looked like rain. 5 miles in 48 minutes 53 seconds. I don't run every day (do it every other day). I'll try to remember to post.

TaintedVampyre

Sure, why not.
I might not get much in just because the humidity index has been quite high lately making my runs feel like I'm carrying weights on my feet. But I'll keep y'all posted

Great idea! Thanks for starting this post! Yesterday I ran 4.5 miles in 52 minutes. I usually run in the morning because I live in Nebraska & the heat/humidity kills my distance & time! I run 3-4 times per week & will be running in the Color Run 5k this weekend.

3.5 miles every morning except Sundays, time varies as I mix up walking and jogging depending on how I'm feeling that day. Most days it's hot (I'm in Houston, TX), today it rained... I went out anyway, I'm not made of sugar.

this evening i ran 5 miles on the treadmill. it took me 55 min.

i didn't drink enough water today cuz i was too busy and distracted at work, and that kinda worked against me.

I heard about the Color Run 5K. My friend just did it in Kansas City. Good Luck. Looks like fun.]

This is a great idea! Thank you for starting the post. I "slog" about 10 miles a week. Its been so hot here I have trouble getting outside, so today I'm heading to the gym for a run on the treadmill. I'll keep you posted. Cheers!

I did it. I actually woke up (alarm needed) and went for a run. It was more like a jog and a bit of walking.

Unfortunately, I am not the runner I used to be. I took too much time off after foot surgery- for no good reason. Thanks for joining me on this week of kick starting my running again.

Have you ever heard the saying that "it only takes 3 weeks to train for a 5K race"? Well, that is my goal. I have a race coming up that means a lot to me and I couldn't run it last year. I need a lot more training if I am going to run the whole race.

It has been fun to read your entries.

In the last 7days

Wednesday 11.5k(8miles) in 56minutes
Friday 16k(10miles) in 1hour 30
Monday around 5k in 60minutes

I use a site called Mapmyrun. Worth looking at, you can plan runs, times, etc

On Friday, I started training for my 2nd/3rd Half-Marathons later this year: October 7 and Thanksgiving Day. I'm running about 3-4 days a week, so I'll try to remember to post on here.

Friday, 6th: 3 miles, 33 minutes
Saturday, 7th: 2.5 miles, 25 minutes

Tonight will be another 3 mile run.

"it only takes 3 weeks to train for a 5K race"?

That makes me sad. It took me about 15 weeks LOL.
