    Excited and nervous to try out something new. Reading a book called 80/20 Running that advocates doing 80% of your running at low intensity. Downloaded and accompanying app today that calculates what low intensity is for each person. As I expected, most of my runs were medium to high intensity. Ended up having to slow my pace down about 1 minute per mile to keep in low intensity for me (<155 bpm heart rate). Feel way less tired and my legs feel really good right now so I might just have to keep this up!

    Finished another 3.4 miles today and I'm on pace to crush my goal for the month!

    Was having such a great run this morning feeling recovered from my half last weekend and thinking about the next one in two weeks, when I ate it - no clue what happened but found myself skidding on my hands on the trail. Good news is nothing serious - just scrapped hands and one knee slightly. My left thumb got it the worse interestingly. It has been quite a while since I have fallen and usually I am aware at least of what I tripped over. Guess I need to stop day dreaming while I am running! :p

    Thanks - Stoshew71 has been helping me with training tips...one of which was train for a HM. So I've worked to come out of my comfort zone and add mileage. Registered for a half in April so I'm working. :sunglasses:
    He's got killer mileage I'd trust him. Saw that 9 miler in your log- 13.1 will be easy by April! Nice work indeed!

    Oh my Shanaber, so glad you weren't injured more seriously. FWIW, my mind wanders while running too. I'm forever tripping over things that aren't even there, usually whilst I have an audience to gleefully observe my gracelessness.

    Of course! I was near the trail end and there were multiple people there getting ready for a ride or finishing up a run or walk - can never do these things in isolation :#
