I had to miss the Parkrun this morning as I have slightly injured my neck. Hoping it will be back to normal for my 9 mile run tomorrow. I never thought I would see the day where I am annoyed to be missing a run for a legit reason0

Heal up I'm just eating breakfest then on to my normal Saturday training run, hoping for at least another 21k

Hi All,
First post for me, and first race of the year this morning. Nearly bailed on it since it was -30C outside and I only got in from a business trip late last night.
Glad I didn't though, as usual, once you're out there it's awesome.
The course was around a horse racing track, and then out onto some ploughed roads before finishing at the track again. It was really nice to have somewhere warm to recover afterwards.
Time was a little slower than I was hoping for (50.39 for a 10k) but it was slippy, and I ran a negative split so it was a good lesson in pacing.
Next one in 2 weeks - can't wait!
Keep it up everyone

Great job on getting out there everyone! Simon, I would be thrilled with that time for a 10k!
I ran 8 miles today at my local national park (hilly). Miles 6 - 7 were tough, but I plowed through and finished in 1:21:38 (1 1/2 minutes slower than last week's 8 miler.)0 -

YOU RUN THIS ON A TREADMILL! Your sir are amazing, that is dedication.0 -
Ya I run the treadmill during the winter, it's pretty cold up here in Canada. I just put on my headphones on and go

I ran 9 miles today in 100 mins. Felt pretty good at the end, really starting to feel like I might manage this HM in May in a time I can be proud of0

Nice job. My goal has was to just complete as it is my 1st one. Then decided on a goal of 3 hours then a new goal of 2 1/2. Now with my training runs and 3 months away I'm curious if I can get under 2 hours. But I'm not pushing it to hard to try, as my main goal now is to beat my brothers 1/2 time, I'm twice his age but the sibling rivalry is still there LOL.0 -
Nice! I had similar goals, first of all just to finish, now hoping for under 2 1/2 hours. I am hoping to do the Great North Run in September as well, so might see whether under 2 hours is achievable for that one.0

My first, and only, HM I was similar. Initially it was just to complete but as I trained I went to under 2 hours, as the training was suggesting. I had a significantly reduced training mileage for about 6 weeks before the race, as a result of a medical treatment, so ended up only managing 2:07, albeit that was on trail so had a fairly significant vertical elevation.
Last weeks 21.1 was trail again and 2:16, so I'm hoping that my event in May will be down below 2:00. That said it's an area I'm not familiar with and again it has quite a lot of vert, so that might be unrealistic.0 -
Did 7.01 miles in 1hr 12 mins this morning. My snowmobile is misbehaving, so i stayed behind today. Didn't pack running gear, but with nothing else to do in the rustic cabin besides lay by the fire and eat... 4 scones over the course of the morning.... and no excuses of entertaining little boys with my mom here i borrowed a sports bra from daughter, sweats from hubby and a hoodie and fleece from my dad. Was 19f, windchill 11 but the roads aren't as bad as ours at home. Headed out, and got back to our road at exactly 4 miles. Decided everything felt good, so i kept going. Seemed like a good idea; nothing better to do, already ate a ton and more snow tomorrow means no pavement for who knows how long!
Seems like you are all doing great on your plans! Way to go!0 -
11.05 miles today with a better pace than last week's 11mile LR. From 11:30 to 10:55. It took me just barely over 2 hours. So yippee skippy.
In other running news- I found out that I there is half here locally in March, so I am going to run that in addition to the Rock'n'Roll half I signed up for in May.
and my family in law recruited me for 67 mile 5 person relay race in April.
My first 10k is Valentines Day.
I'm pretty excited for the upcoming races!!!!!!!

I have similar goals to you both for my first!0 -
I've also gone from "I just want to finish" to having a goal of finishing in under 2 1/2 hours.
I was scheduled to run 2 to 3 miles yesterday. Thanks to high winds and cold rain, I was forced to try my mother in law's treadmill. It has issues and randomly slows down from time to time. I hate treadmill running anyway, but this was the pits! I managed 2 1/2 miles in 30 minutes of torture!0 -
Well done for getting it done!0
-
Crosstraining today, so bike/yoga0
-
Hockey for me. Optimistically hoping it covers cross-training AND intervals!0
