MFP Runners Club- 7/29

Hi fellow runners!
I just got back from our family vacation and have to say I missed you all! I will have go read up on what I've missed! Did Banks join the club? I only ran once on vacation but we body surfed, hiked, ran on the beach, and never had a idle moment. We always say we're going on vacation to relax ..ha ha :laugh: But we had a great time. I returned with a sore knee. Don't know which of the weekend warrior stuff did it but it hurts to walk. Was planning to run with my running club tonight but think I will let it rest (old injury).
Take care,
Bunny

Wow, what a stinky thread! hehehehe OK, bad joke. Good luck with the skunk!

I am running 3 miles this evening with a friend. I'm a little nervous because it's supposed to be HOT. Any suggestions for running in hot weather? (90 degrees plus humidity)

I don't know if animal control will come get it or not. I know they can be mean if you get to close, so I would call for sure to check it out!
Nice Run by the way, getting up early and all.

Another day for me not working right. So I am not fighting it today and taking the day off.
I tried to get to bed on time and even though I was still late, I set my Alarm.
Then my husband was snoring. I tried to move him, but I couldn't get him to move right and finally after an hour had to move to the couch.
So I get up anyway, and while waking up I check my mail....

Best Friend Emergency. She has been on line all night:huh:
She kicked her boyfriend our for cheating :mad: and even though she was really good about it, I knew she needed to talk. So for over 2 hours we chatted and then I had to get some sleep.

But woke up to a nice little earthquake, but now that is all the news is talking about. 5.6 about 25-35 miles away:noway:

hey guys, i'm not a regular mfp poster, but maybe i will more--i was training for chicago but started too early after my surgery and stopped last week--i am going to run columbus half instead! i'd like to beat my 96 minute time but i have a long way to go after knee surgery!

anyways, have you guys ever tested your one mile time on a track? i'm wondering how we all compare... its the hardest test i've ever done!

We should all try it--gives you something to measure and improve on.

Hi mick2323, glad to see you posting, if anyone should be it should be you!
I think that would be a great thing to do, but what is the best way to do it? Do you do a good warm up first (because it takes me like a mile or more to warm up really) and then just time a full mile with a stop watch. I have never done that and never ran on a track. Do you do a full blown fast as you can or just what you normally would run at a good pace? Sounds hard, but you could make a special board like the runners or bikers board?

Hey Everyone! It looks like there is a wide variety of runs and animals going on today! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Annnnnyway...I got home from a long day of work and thought good 5.5 miles would be great. ITS HOT!! ITS HUMID!! The good news is I made it the whole 5 1/2 miles...bad news is I had to walk a 1/3 of a mile in the middle:grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

Happy Running!!

Hi all - hope it's okay if I post here on my running days. Did 2 miles this evening in 25 minutes. That's not much for you hard core people, but it's good for me!!! I'm hoping to gain endurance and speed and eventually do the tri thing.

I think that is fabulous! A little walk is fine, and the fact that you did the last half without walking is awsome! And to do it after work is even better. Good for you!!!
