Thanks for the wishes. I landed in hospital last night where i lost the baby. Just resting now

I'm so sorry. Hugs to you.

9/1 - 3.5 miles - way too many pushes on the snooze this morning!
9/2 - rest day walked the doggie instead
9/3 - 5.1 miles
9/4 - 10 miles last 2 were HOT HUMID and MISERABLE LOL
9/5 - rest day - cross country meet - Skip did great 24th in her division 23:37 no where near a PR but it was so hot and humid you could hardly stand to be out there to watch let alone run. Proud of my girl.
9/6 - 5.1 miles

23.7 of 120 miles

9-1: 3.08 km...everything was going fine for the first 2k. First run after a very well-fed and drank vacation (seriously, a rib-eye the size of my forearm for the last dinner). 2.5k, I notice how tight my right leg feels. I loosen up my shoe and that does nothing. I started walking, and tried to pick back up but I was in so much pain I had to call my mom for rescue. Ugh.
9-4: 4.24 km...Wanted to take it slow today so as not to agitate anything (foam-rolled the sheet outta my leg the other day). Very hot, not a fun run at all. Slow paced, so slow it was on par with my c25k week 7 overall pacing which INCLUDES the 10 minute warmup/cooldown. Boo.
9-6: 5.45 km. My longest run yet! Pacing was much better than it has been in the last 2 weeks. First race is 2 weeks from today, looking good!

12.77/65km

An aside...a very angering thing happened at the end of my run. I was running against traffic, and out of nowhere this car comes with an ARMS LENGTH of me. We were both going in the same direction so that means they moved from their lane to get close to ME. This is the third time this has happened in a month and it's the same car EVERYTIME. Ugh.

MFP September 2015 Running Challenge:
The magic number this month is 48. Along with being my mileage goal I also want to run 5 miles in 48 minutes to beat my new PR from last month of 49 minutes. Today was my first attempt at it. I was not successful this time but had a good run(51 mins). I think there are a few reasons such as last time I had a full rest day the day before. I had also had breakfast a few hours before. This time I did run on an empty stomach. I also have been cutting back calories this week. With the Holiday I did Monday's lifting workout on Friday and Fridays workout yesterday. I was doing well at the halfway point but ran out of steam shortly after and couldn't turn it on at the end. I have been using the Quarter tween the cheeks and kicking myself in the azz recommended to some one else earlier. And it does seem to be helping pick up the time on my shorter runs. I would still calls today's run a sucess seeing how 9 months ago I could barely "walk" 5 feet to the bathroom and now I am running 5 miles in under an hour.

Goal:48 miles
Complete:18
>>>>>>>>>> 30 to go <<<<<<<<<

1/9: 7 miles
4/9: 6.8 miles
6/9: 13.7 miles

9/2/ 15 - 1.8 hot and humid miles.
9/4 1.5 - not quite as hot or humid miles 26.7 to go!
9/6 3.7 - 23 miles to go!

I just started week 3 of C25K and didn't realize I could participate in this thread until I started reading it. I'd love to play along. I don't know what goal to pick, though!

I'll say 50 miles.

I do a LOT of purposeful walking every day. I don't have a record of some of the walks.

First morning stuff:

9/1 - C25K Week 2, Day 2 as part of 5 overall miles
9/2 - Water jogging and walking. It was 25K total steps for the day on Fitbit, but I have no idea how many miles each individual walk was
9/3 - C25K Week 2, Day 3 as part of 5 overall miles
9/4 - 2.5 miles, treadmill warm up with incline before weight lifting
9/5 - 5.5 miles
9/6 - C25K Week 3, Day 1, as part of 5.5 overall miles.

@7lenny7

thanks - no, it would be impossible to not stop and I think it'll be too long for them (got the lab plus a giant schnauzer)

plus I always wonder - do you think dogs do enjoy running a lot? Amy prefers the bed!
