MFP Runner's Club August 1

Good Morning!

I didn't do anything - my mother's visit seriously affecting my workouts!! I was at work at 7:30am today just to escape the house! :grumble:

I am looking forward to my 9 miles tomorrow am though - should still be mild at 6am.

I have a crazy hectic day today - so if I don't get another chance - have a great weekend everyone!!

A special CHEER for those running races this weekend, I can only think of one member right now.....


Run, Run, Run!!!

OK I slacked for 2 days. Well, ok not really, because I pitched 7 innings on Wednesday and that burns about 700 or 800 calories, but I didn't run yesterday cuz I was sore, but anyway, today I'm gonna run 5 miles at a light pace, then tomorrow I'll run a 5K at a hard pace, then monday I'll interval, then tuesday I'll run hard again, then wednesday, a very light run in preperation for my race on thursday. That's the plan at least. We'll see how I do.

Rest day for me! I'm super duper sore after SEAL traning yesterday!

Hi everyone,
I am still benched with a hurt knee. Am going in to the running store today to talk with them about a brace. Really missing those endorphins though and a liitle afraid of losing all the progress I have made. :frown: Anyone else working through injury?

I plan to run what I hope will be my first 5 miles today. And I have eaten a lot of nuts so I think I will have plenty of energy to make the run!

This will be the first time I have ever tried to go 5 miles. I'll report in how it goes!

GOOD LUCK!! You will do great!! Can't wait to hear how you did!!

Well good luck to you Mlillie! Wait, why did you eat a bunch of nuts? :huh:

Banks, I am glad you asked this, I was just about to reply to Mlillie as well.

M - Choose something high in carbohydrates and lower in fat, fiber, and protein. Some examples of good pre-workout fuel include: a bagel with peanut butter; a banana and an energy bar; or a bowl of cold cereal with a cup of milk. Stay away from rich, very fatty, or high-fiber foods, as they may cause gastrointestinal distress.


2-3 hours before running eat a high carbs or a energy bar. Within 1 hour after eating high protein with a carb. Nuts are fat and small amount of protein....

I took today off from running. I did 35 minutes on the Elliptical and about 45 minutes of circuit training.

aw thanks Trish but you are the good one....last two weeks I've been ms. slacker!!!:ohwell: ...hey it happens right??? lol....big hugs!

well, my light 5 mile run today turned into a hard 5 mile run. WHY CAN'T I TAKE IT EASY EVER???!!!
I did it in 40 minutes and some odd seconds. Now my timed 5K tomorrow is gonna suck.

IDIOT!!!

Today was a 6-mile tempo run: 1 mile warm-up, 4 miles at an 8:12 pace, and a 1-mile cool-down. It was another hot one today...it felt good when it was all over!
