@_nikkiwolf_ Those are hilarious! So unique!
I was "Running With The Cows" this morning. Set a new HM PR 2:37:20.4. I was gunning for 2:35 but felt some tenderness in my achilles the last mile and a half so I dialed it down. I think it's OK but I think I will take it easy and do just recovery pace all week and maybe even next weekends HM to be safe.
5/2 - 6.07 miles
5/4 - 3 miles
5/5 - 3.01 miles
5/6 - 3.02 miles
5/9 - 13.1 miles 2:37:20.4 new PR

@_nikkiwolf_ thats too funny!
@karllundy way to go on the 1000 days!
Drought or deluge here. Hoping for a few clear hours for a run today. (Of course, I could get on the TM.) Last run was amazingly muddy. Thought for sure I was gonna bite it on a downhill section.
I did realize today that I can run more than 10 miles in a week with out being in serious pain. Love progress!0 -
I have been away for a few days, getting ready to travel and traveling and there have been SO many posts - over 200 since I was last on! Wow - it is going to take me a while to read up on all the news here, but I will get caught up eventually! Two posts I did see and wanted to comment on are:
@Wendy1Fl - hope it worked out with Forrest Gump! I love running with my puppy!
@_nikkiwolf_ - love the guerilla chrocheter - awesome decorations, whoever made them!

Can't get to my ticker but will update it when I get home next week.
Hoping to get in a few runs on the treadmill in the coming days. I hate it and the gym here is almost as bad as running in the humidity outside. Unfortunately there are no sidewalks and I am not comfortable running on the busy streets here. Looking forward to getting home to my trail

Running a 5K tomorrow. I don't think it has timing... just a fundraiser for a Pet Rescue organization that we got one of our dogs from. Then... biking!
@_nikkiwolf_ - those are hilarious! Love the woman one.
@shanaber - I bet you can't wait to get back to your trail. Now that I'm a runner, I'm dying to travel to a different city to run. Not that I would have any idea where I will run in these places where I want to travel! Going to daughter's graduation in NYC in a week or so and I'm going to run Central Park and the Hudson, I hope!0 -
@WhatMeRunning
Great job on your PR! Hopefully it's a minor injury and you're good to go in a couple days.0 -
I'm absolutely reek after a run.......I don't even wear deodorant most mornings I run because it seems pointless to put it on only to sweat it off!Running question for the group....whenever I'm out running and a woman is running the other way, they invariably smell nice. Meanwhile I smell like a middle school boys gym 2 minutes into a run....
How do women mange to smell normal while racking up the miles while guys stink to high heaven??
If they smell nice then they have very liberally sprayed themselves before heading out the door!
I smell pretty rough after a run too. I try not to let it bug me. I have run past other women, and they've smelled good. I just assume I'm meant to be stinky lmao0 -

Oh man, I'd rather smell sweat out on the trail than the women that douse themselves in fru fru on a run. I don't see the point -make up and all.
Deoderant is optional on a run for me too. Why bother? I wanna sweat, its hot. If I don't stink- I didn't put enough effort into it.0 -

Re: nice smelling ladies -- I guarantee I don't smell good. But I've found that on group runs, I can't smell anybody. My nose just turns off. I definitely don't put on deodorant though. If I do, then it just wafts back up in my face and makes me feel sick. BO > deodorant during exercise!0

I love seeing the pictures of what you all see on your runs! Those crochet pole covers would have me stopping in my tracts too Miss _nikkiwolf_! Hysterical!
Usually I see deer, cows, horses and one donkey. In fact over these last 3 yrs of running, I've never past a fellow runner here in the country. Keep the pictures coming!

Well, things didn't work out with Forrest Gump
He wasn't well socialized - he had all his training in his 1st 4 months & has basically been a shut in since. My fiance is so gentle & calm, but every time he moved Forrest growled at him. Then our 12 year old daughter tried to stand up & he growled at her. Our other 2 dogs hated him, & he tried to bite our cat on the way out the door. Soo, there was A LOT his mommy didn't mention in the craigslist ad. *Sigh*
Next weekend I am driving an hour & 1/2 to meet a Red Heeler named Hope. How's that for room for a pun?!?!??
5/9 5.53 miles Pace 10:00
5/6 6 miles Pace 10:00
5/5 5 miles Pace S-L-O-W 12:12
5/3 8.21 miles Bloomsday race 7.62 miles Pace 9:23
Total: 24.74, 91.46 to go
