OK, I did it I got on the treadmill. But it seemed as though everything was trying to work against me.
As most of you know, I had a pump up 2 days ago and while normally it doesn't bother me to much, I am so much larger than I am planning to be and it really is a little soar and running was kind of tough, but I pushed through it and after about 10 minutes wasn't to bad.
It just seemed like it was getting hotter and hotter, but I was going with it and just sweated my @$$ off and was excited I was doing well for me on a treadmill.
Then my toe started to hurt (like a blister starting) and I had to quit because I plan to run on the street in my other shoes and didn't want to have a blister for my bigger run. But I got in three miles before that so while it wasn't a big run it was a good warm up for tomorrows 7 mile run I am planning!!!!
So I check to see if it is hot or just me, and my house is getting hotter, 82 degrees while the air origiannly set at usually 76 to 78 I turned it down to 74 trying to cool it down but still nothing. I think my air conditioner went out & I live in the desert! (it is already over 100 outside, but at least there is a breeze) My husband is out on a job and sometimes these jobs are only a day, but sometimes they are days. The box outside that usually is running when the air is on wasn't doing anything. It is a fairly new house, we were the first in it 6-7 years ago, how long do they usually last?
I don't know if anyone caught that, but I am going to bump up my run tomorrow, I am going to do 7 miles for the first time!!! I am going to plan my route tonight.
Good weekend to all, SM0 -
I got up prepared to do my "long run" on the only bike trail in my town, with a friend. Only to find out I'd been flaked on! :noway:
I had to drag myself out to do it. Regardless I opted to the gym (running alone is not something I'm okay with) I was able to do 10 miles at a steady pace, 1 mile short of what I should have. It was an okay run, I much would have prefered running outdoors though!!
Happy running all.:flowerforyou:0 -

WOW!!! You can run that far and long and you don't like to run by yourself? For me I love it when I am by myself, I don't have to wait for anyone or have someone waiting on me. I think it is my more alone time with my music that I like.0 -
Yea! I'm "training" though... so at some point I should be able to say I did 20 miles!!!
But yea I worry because I'm a girl, running alone (and far out) on a lonely bike trail. But I agree it would be perfect "me" time if I wasn't such a chicken.0 -
I look at this thread daily, but never have posted b/c I'm not a regular runner. But, I'm up to 3x a week, so I guess there's some regularity. Got up at 6:00, to beat the heat. Ran a mile, then did a cemetary run, up and down the hills in the local boneyard, for about 20 minutes. Walked a half mile and then did another 1.5 miles. I guess that's an interval run, right? Whatever it was, it felt good. Wish you all cool, un-humid runs today.0

Alright - so yesterday (for me) - Saturday was 4.75 miles!! Yeah, little walking a little fast pacing, but overall a good run!
I like the idea of an MPF race!! :drinker:
We all have to start some where - I like the accountability and inspiration I get from this post, even if I post later than most!!0 -
ah don't worry pmkelly409 no jealousy talk here just in awe.
Ran two miles today so getting better:ohwell: . Wish my lungs were a little stronger seemed to be gasping for air a little more than usual today.
Thanks for the encouragement to us "newbies" and I will certainly ask for advice in the near future0
