March 10 - 2.25 miles (It was hard to run tonight....)
March 11 - 3.1 miles (5k)
March 12 - 3.1 miles (5k, outside and the pace was MUCH different than on the treadmill. It was 9:47 mpm versus the almost 12 that I get on the machine)
March 13 - 2 miles (night before first 5k race)
March 14 - 3.1 miles (5k) I feel great about most of my first race! I ran my fastest mile time so far (8:56 mpm) and was on track to *maybe* place but ended up with a side stitch right in the middle that slowed me way down for about 1/2 mile (I need to fine tune what I should eat on race mornings) so my finish time was right at 30 minutes. I *think* this is a decent time for a first 5k race??

long 7 miles on the treadmill today since I didn't have a sitter for the boys, so off to the ymca we went. I covered the machine with my towel so I couldn't see the time dragging and watched a few episodes of friends on my iPad

Cabin Fever Reliever 2015. A virtual 5K from raceyourneighbors.com
I enjoyed this as I was able to do a path I was familiar with and go when ever I wanted to within a given time period (it opened today and closes the 21st).
Happy runnings everyone!

10k trail race today, it was a 2 loop race and just as I was finishing the first loop the winner whizzed past me and finished, but It didn't upset me I just felt really pleased for him and I was enjoying myself so much with my friends and family cheering me on. The only disappointing thing was I forgot to turn my Garmin on because I was to busy chatting with a fellow competitor at the start.
51.1 completed........ 18.9 to do.0 -
March 1-7: 4 miles (last week was rough)
March 8-14: 13.8 miles (back on track)

Desert run, take two. 13.8 miles on a mix of trails and pavement along the base of Superstition Mountain. So. Much. Sun. Picked up a few new blisters, some mild dehydration, and a sun burn, but it was worth every step.
I noticed that all the runners I passed had camelback packs-does anybody here run with these? How do you like it?
I usually run in areas where I can grab a drink every 5 miles or so, but I want to do more trail running and hate carrying a bottle.
Also, congrats to everyone on their stellar race results and new PRs! Enjoy that Pi Day pie you've earned!
Oops, edited to say, I'm at mile 65.6/100 for this month.0 -

I had planned to run outside in the rain for the cathartic effect but then reality hit and that sounded really unpleasant. So ... I ran round and round in little tiny indoor track circles until my knees said, "you dumbass, cut that out!" loud enough for me to listen. Then I walked over and lifted heavy things for an hour. No rain tomorrow ... sunny and beautiful. Will hopefully have a few more miles to add by noon. I hope everyone is well.
@faytwain ... have you told us yet how your 4 miles went today? I haven't read all the way through yet. Hope it was awesome!

@SBRRepeat.... I don't take water for 10 miles or less.... I use an Amphipod handheld (very comfortable and easy to hold) for runs 10-15 miles (unless it's wicked hot)... anything longer than that I use a Camelbak.... I really like it. Mine can hold up to the equivalent of 5 bottles of water, so the weight can be an issue until I drink it down.... or I just don't completely fill it up. Although, running out of water on a long solo run is miserable, so I tend to take more than I think I might need.0

@johnsonnelly that is a great time for your first 5K great race. Sorry about the side stitch they hurt like a bugger bear.
@abakan sounds like you had a great day. I ran a 5K in December and at one point you could hear them announcing the finishers coming across the finish line and their times. I was at just over a mile LOL The people around me were making all kinds of funny comments "big deal, you know he didn't run the whole distance" yadda yadda too funny!0 -
Nice run today, 6.28 miles. Prob half on trails. Felt like i could have done another 2 miles. New VO2 max today...whoop! Why does that make me want a margarita?
Think I'll be able to set a new PR for the 5k a few weeks away. And get serious about the HM in October!

@Elise4270.... you are really kicking some butt.... and running always makes me want to have a drink...lol...0

@LoneWolfRunner thanks! I think I have several here to thank for that, esp you and @fabine. Knowing that others run in the cold or rain in some way gives me confidence to do it.. Ya know, you're not a real runner until you brave the elements.
Wasn't easy but I got that drink. Hubby is a recovering addict so little opportunity for me to indulge.
@SBRRepeat love the pics!0 -
@LoneWolfRunner I think I might invest in a camelback then. I have tried the amphipods before, but it didn't hold enough water to be worth the annoyance of carrying it.
I ran out of water today when I was out on the trail and wasn't loving the idea of dying in the desert...0 -
