Good morning, runners!

Where are all our early risers??

Did 7 miles super early this morning, since I have a busy day ahead of me.

Happy 3rd Birthday to my sweet daughter, Wynne! :heart:

Have a good day!

    Hi!
    Did 5 1/2 miles this morning. I "slept in" until 6:30 and went out. Nice crisp Iowa day! :happy:

    Hey runners! I did 6.5 this morning. This afternoon the hubby and I are going hiking, and we're finishing off the day with a few games of raquetball! Needless to say, I'm going to eat a LOT! :)

    A cold is in full swing. I usually run about an eight/eight and a half minute mile with the stroller, but yesterday it came out to be ten minute miles.

    Today is taekwondo and it's going to kick my a**. I think I'll take a break from running today and tomorrow, at least till my cold is better.

    Went out this morning at 7:00 and ran 6 miles around the lake. Very nice. I have a question for you runners. I was running with someone and talking and I was running at a pace where it was kinda hard to talk. Would you consider that a moderate or vigorous pace?

    Tweety - good job on your 5 K today. It's always a good race when you can knock that much time off .

    Sort of cool here this morning. Ran 15.5 miles. Feeling great! :happy:

    Have a good one! :happy: :happy:

    I've heard that running and being able to easily converse is an easy pace, to be able to talk and not sing is moderate and vigorous - no talking. :smile:

    I had a breakthrough today. Threw the intervals out the window and just went an easy pace. I was able to run 4 miles! So excited:drinker: Of course my pace is so slow but it is a big improvement. I had to make a pit stop and after that finished off the course with two miles of walking.

    Talk about depending on the kindness of strangers - I was out in the middle of nowhere and really needed a pitstop. After scrutinising every bush I finally flagged down another friendly jogger and asked her where the closest stop was. She said that she was just finishing her run and we were right by her house! What a miracle and what a great person :flowerforyou:

    Has this ever happened to you? What did you do?

    Tweety -- awesome work!!
    Bunnyr -- WTG!!
    Sherry -- your perception is usually spot on -- if you feel it was vigorous then it was, if you feel it was moderate -- that is where it probably is. Make sense?

    Ran about 1 mile, then 1 mile of interval work with the hubby -- raining today and sort of a bad day. Oh well.. tomorrow 6 -- hopefully.

    Good Evening:flowerforyou:

    I slept in and ran 3.4 miles around 7 am. It was nice and cool outside. I LOVE fall.

    Have a great weekend

    I ran 4.5 miles this morning with a running group. It was nice change to run with someone. I still like the serenity of running solo, but having someone to push me once in a while won't be bad either.

    Great job everyone!

    Moderate pace. Not a bad thing. Love to run and talk!

    No run, though I had planned one. Right hip is bothering me, even to put weight on leg of that side. And pain wraps around to front groin area. Have appt with physio on Monday. so will see what's up

    I am here, just posting WAY late! I ran 5 miles early and leg/ calf/ whatever muscle felt great!! My friend is a nurse and she felt it and said it is definitely a muscle thing, not a tendon. Anyway... but as the day has gone on my ankle has gotten swollen and felt worse! I'm icing now, hope it's feeling ok tomorrow. UGH!!!

    Hope you had a good one!

    No run today, but 8 is scheduled for the morning. Did TJ Turbo Sculpt this morning.

    It is beautiful fall weather here, and I actually saw gas dip below $3.00/gallon. WOW! Can't believe I consider that wonderful :noway:

    I am interested in trainning for a 1/2 marathon next fall and I am wondering where to start. I am just getting back into running/walking on the treadmill and will look for a 5K to participate in soon. But, I am not sure on how to prepare myself for a 1/2 marathon. Any suggestions?

    You could also try to find a running club in your area, it's great to run with other people.

    Ok, I signed up for the Race for the Cure 5K on October 19th here in Honolulu....my only goal is to finish under 35 mins. We will see. I am nervous and not sure if I am ready for it, but I will be there and I figure this is a great place to start. I know that what I am doing is supporting a great cause and that is reward enough for me!!
