Clearwater distance classic Sunday (just doing the full, not the ultra 50k). Weather is looking promising, so hoping I'll crack the 3:45 mark. Series (full/half/5 mile/5k walk) has 1700 participants, but suspect only about 800 of us are doing the full.0 -

Had to go out of town unexpectedly for a family emergency, but I managed one run during my time there. There's a lake in a beautiful park in my hometown, so I drove down and ran there. Had the whole place to myself in the morning...just me and the ducks, swans and geese. 0 -

Yesterday was an "I just don't feel like it" kind of day, but I did get a short 3 miler in. It was cold and rainy...and about a mile in I suddenly had to poop. So...I cut my planned 4+ mile run a little short. I'm still surprised at how much influence bathroom needs have on running. I can't count the times I've had to pee in the woods, but I draw the line at #2.
I usually end my runs at the gym, so I made up for the lost distance with an extra-long cruise on the stationary bike...AFTER taking care of necessary business of course.
01/01/2015 - 5.02 Miles - Cumulative 5.02 Miles
01/04/2015 - 6.53 Miles - Cumulative 11.55 Miles
01/06/2015 - 6.70 Miles - Cumulative 18.25 Miles
01/08/2015 - 4.50 Miles - Cumulative 22.75 Miles (Brrrrr...it was cold!)
01/11/2015 - 7.35 Miles - Cumulative 30.10 Miles (Big dog scared the crap out of me)
01/13/2015 - 7.55 Miles - Cumulative 37.65 Miles (New route with actual hills)
01/16/2015 - 3.26 Miles - Cumulative 40.91 Miles
GOAL: 75 Miles

I'm just starting out after a 6 month hiatus. I'm getting warmed up. All runs done on treadmill. I'm not tough enough to run in Michigan's brutal winter temperatures.
Jan 13th - 2 miles
Jan 15th - 3.2 miles
My ticker isn't cooperating
. It should read 5.2 miles done; 19.8 to go.

As someone who spends a fair amount of time in the woods thank you for thisYesterday was an "I just don't feel like it" kind of day, but I did get a short 3 miler in. It was cold and rainy...and about a mile in I suddenly had to poop. So...I cut my planned 4+ mile run a little short. I'm still surprised at how much influence bathroom needs have on running. I can't count the times I've had to pee in the woods, but I draw the line at #2.
I'll never get used to running around a bend only to encounter some man relieving himself. 
Please, 10ft off the trail folks.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this!
I actually plan a great deal of my routes as circuits around blocks with stores with public restrooms on the corner. This way I only have a mile or two max between areas I can make a stop at. Of course, for trail runs that is not an option.
My biggest fear is a race with insufficient restrooms along the route. Hasn't happened yet. Yet being the key word...0 -

Thanks so much It was the perfect break from the hospital room.
Back in the desert now and (hopefully) regular schedule.
Yay! Almost halfway there!

One of the worst feelings in the world is being at the turn-around point in the run and having the "urge". But that really builds the glutes, huh?

Ran 3 miles in the am yesterday and then ended up running 4 more in the evening with my mom. Brings me to 70.5miles for the month (100 mi goal)
And I agree with all the bathroom talk! I know where every public bathroom is around my town (and the hours they are open). 0 -
