My brother lives about 5 hours drive away - we text screenshots of the treadmill's ending summary to one another. We are ridiculously competitive and our (non-runner) spouses do not understand at all. This will probably stop being fun when one of us gets good enough to always win.

Jan 16 - 34 mile bike ride. Didn't do too good - couldn’t keep up with group. Weird, because the other two times I did the ride, I was fine. But then today I realized it might be because I'm back at work (was off two weeks for winter break, I teach). Tomorrow doing a much longer bike ride - 52 -- eek! -- but at a slower pace. Got to get some runs in next week! Hate not running but I can’t run and bike on the same days. I could run and strength train the same days, I think. I run at 4:30am and do the strength training at 4:30pm. So I should be recovered by then!

3 miles outside today. I am still part of the turtle running team but my easy pace is much faster then it was last month so I am pretty happy about that.

- My son calls home on weekends and we have a little friendly competition to see who worked out more each week. He always does more push ups, but it drives him crazy that his "old" mom often runs more miles than he cycles. I'm just glad to give him incentive to exercise.

What a weird week I'm having! I usually do 4-5 runs a week which are moderate or long (for me). This week I've done 6 short runs. I think I'm still adjusting to doing more miles, a few months ago I was doing about half this amount.
Have a great weekend everyone 0 -

That's so great that you and your son keep on each other's workouts. I'm starting to take my 5 yr old son on some hikes/ jogs and love that we can share the experience together.

First 15 miles of today's marathon went perfectly, next 5 were on pace, but ran into a headwind and too much sun/heat on my last 6 to crack the 3:45 mark and bonked a bit at the end. Finished in 3:52, a 55 minute PR over my last marathon, so I'll take it. Looking forward to improving at my next one in May (Pittsburgh).
Back to bed now to curl up and die for a few hours before I think about moving my legs again.

That's how it begins. Even my 3 year old loves to go running with mommy. I'm "running" at a walking speed by his side for about a mile until he's had enough, but one day hopefully he'll run with me the way his older sisters do. When they're small you share your love of the world with them and show them all the different ways to experience it. Go walking, cycling, running, hiking, swimming, rock climbing or whatever you love to do. Share those fun times with them & they'll love it too. I'm always delighted when one of my children wants to run or hike with me. Even though I don't enjoy cycling, I'm even more delighted when one of my children asks me to join them in an activity they love.Lesleycali wrote: »That's so great that you and your son keep on each other's workouts.

Hope you recover quickly, good luck for your half next weekend.
Ohhim..... 55min better than you last marathon that's fantastic.
Well finally got out for a run today after 17 days off, only did 2 miles as the every weather was very icy . Can't believe how hard 2 miles felt after only 17 days of not running, it was only 5 weeks ago I run a half marathon.
4 miles done 56 to do.

Brrr, it got colder again. Well, maybe not all that cold (about 30F), but just to that really annoying point where I can't decide if I need gloves or not. I kept taking them off because my hands were getting to warm, only to put them on again a few minutes later because I had to admit that without them, my hands started get uncomfortably cold...
I guess fussing with my clothes is also a way of passing the time on a long run

@autumnbla - Love it!! Such a cool idea!! And so great to keep you motivated/moving on the treadmill. I tend to run much slower on the treadmill than outside. Pure laziness? More focused on Jane the Virgin than my fitness level? Who knows, but really admire you and your brother racing it out!
@briebee - Feel better!
@Ohhim - Woohoo!!!!! Awesome job!! Just utterly fantastic!
@fabnine - Always in awe of your commitment to run in our weather (I'm in Maine)! Bravo!
