@monkeymintaka way to go! That is a great time! I agree, pushing that stroller is work! And the men and women cycling with kids attached? Ugh, that's hard work!
@Stoshew71 love the husky, I may steal that for inspiration..
@JoRocka Love the glute mastery! I'm trying to get hip pain under control. Strengthen those glutes and lower abs, and stretching the illopsoas has made a huge difference in my stride and pain. I do my own version of belly dancing while driving and singing.0 -

The evening run was fast and fun and the best run I've had all week. But classes started yesterday, so now I'm up at 5:30, running in the morning, and using my brain all day, so it's 9:45 and I'm 100% ready for bed. This running schedule plus my grad school schedule is going to be an interesting adjustment, to say the least!

9.1.15... 3.04...26:30- late 10 PM run
9.2.15... 5.27.... 48 minutes: Woke up a little late- wanted to hit the road around 5:15- left at like 5:35- oh well- was worried about time due to it being the first five miler- I did okay - 48 minutes roughly- super busy yesterday didn't get a chance to update
9.3.15... 3 miles- 27- super slow- stiff and heavy
9.6.15- 3.02.... 28:56- I went ahead and shuffled my runs- workshop was to important to stress over a 9 miler and then the workshop. So Sunday- I did an easy 7:30 AM easy 3 miler- way more hilly than expecting- but no worries!
9.8.15- 8.98 @ 1:34- this was rough- it was hot and humid- It was a chips and salsa left over sprint to unlock the door and straight to the toilet. Another sweaty toilet seat end to my run!!!
9.11.15... 6.39... 55:16 felt really solid today- very disappointed I ran out of time!
9.13.15..... 10.17.... 1.31.13- longest run of the training- mostly felt good- was VERY pleased with my first 4- a stead 8 and change landing me at 34.5 minutes- which made me happy. I ran 8 miles on the flat canal dirt path and two miles on asphalt side walk- 1 mile straight up through Princeton- and you can see on my split the last mile was down hill and quick. I didn't puke- and I didn't crap myself so WINNING!
9.15.15... 3.06... 27 min- Sloppy night run- I really felt like I was just tired and my form was working against me- never the less- DONE SIR DONE. now- I better get up early to run my 5 tomorrow- or I'm gonna be super cranky pants about that!
9.16.15.... 5.3... 47... rough- not recovering well and not getting enough sleep. but got it done- woke up hella late- so I'm behind- but here we go- down hill in the week! WOOT
9.17.15... 3.17...26.30 minutes- I started out quick- like it felt like a 25 min or lower type run- but alas- not so much. didn't help my hair was falling out and I tried to tie it back up- but no luck- just broke so I lost a good 15-30 seconds fussing with that. Oh well. I was hella late from work today- so I ran from 5:30-5:55ish and then raced to the gym and lifted- then off to dance class. Definitely feeling the work the chiro/pt did on my glutes/IT bands- was just what I needed-but definitely feeling it- one more mile run- one mile closer to the half!!
August: 66.23 of 75 miles
September 51.42 of 104.5 this seems a touch low- I think I need to go back and re-add my milage. almost half way through the month and I've only officially missed one 3 miler. HERM.
Total Half Training Mileage
156.48 of total 225
I'm going to have to take some video of what we do in class- I'll show you my super fab bar of gold *kitten* squeezing glute mastery!0 -

8.5 miles again tonight. I wanted to go 10 but a new pain started developing in my right hip so I ended early. My right knee hurt a bit too. I popped a couple of Aleve when I got home and it occurred to me that I haven't taken any Aleve or Ibuprofen, or used ice, for running related aches in about 6 weeks. Prior to that I was popping NSAID's like candy. Progress! Now I'm still feeling stiff and sore every time I get up from my desk at work, but it goes away by the time I get to the hall, no big deal.
Though there was some slight pain and ache at the end of the run, within 10 minutes of my run I felt fully recovered, fulled rested. I wasn't physically tired at all. More progress!
I've been pushing the mid-week runs this week and last week because I've been unable to do any long runs on the weekend. Last weekend in Kansas and this weekend I'll be moving my mom into senior apartments.

Hi guys I'm just posting to see what you runners think. . I live in a built up area so my runs are mainly through the neighbourhood with only a few small trails. Unfortunately now the morning is getting darker I have to leave the house about 7.15 am for my run. I have a problem now. .....We have recently received a large number of immigrant families. .no problem with that ..but there are large groups of about 8 or 9 young men who hang about constantly just causing problems for people where I live. I have to pass where they are all stood and now feel really uncomfortable and I have to admit a little unnerved. Our police and neighbourhood watch are unable to do anything about them and we as residents have been advised that there will be more moved into the area. I do not have any problems with them just feel unable to go running as I now am concerned each time I come round a corner. I cannot find a running partner who can run at the same time as me because of commitments etc. I just wondered what your thoughts are. I really hate the gym and treadmills. Do you think I have cause for concern. My husband is very worried about the situation. ..I haven't gone today0

tough, as always is at the end of the week, but feeling good
will need to reconsider the park, even with the lamp it's too dark, I ended up inside a bush this morning lol, and it's too muddy so the pace suffers but more importantly to not know where to put your feet is not a nice feeling, and you must remain super concentrated
tomorrow fast 10k, then on Sunday will try another 42.2k - then will scale a bit down before my real marathon on the 18th
for that, I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing, it seems to work - even though I'm a bit concerned it might be too much, especially for the week just before the race
haven't realized it's day 102 of non stop running of my full year non stop running commitment, so first mark has been passed - I hope to always be healthy and never injured, running is really a wonderful sport that can teach you lots of stuff to be used in real life
now I feel like being in a cage at work, hope these 8 hours left fly0 -
@dawniemate Maybe there's a way to speak to elders of their community? Perhaps at their mosque/temple/church? They might be able to advise or intervene.
Does a midnight run spanning two days count on both? Or not count at all?

@dawniemarie216, with the utmost respect for @mwyvr, he does not put you or anyone else here to shame. There is no shame to to be had here.
I agree with him about your situation. Have they actually done anything to warrant your hesitation or is it just their presence? A sizeable group like that certainly can be intimidating, but on the other hand, they have to be somewhere.

9/6 - 5.1 miles
9/7 - 5.2 miles of trail running - OMG we had so much fun!!! Skip wanted to practice trail running for her meets and folks gave me some great recommendations of trails to run. We went out this morning and had a blast. The first trail was marked as easy/difficult so it was some easy packed dirt and some gravel with harder roots and rocks to climb. The second was difficult and some parts were about 2' wide and quite a climb (for me LOL). We loved it!

9/9 - 5.5 miles
9/10 - 7.2 miles nice slow pace this morning, just wanted to get the miles in. Still pretty humid (97%) but the temp was 69 so it was nice. Annoying little doggie chased me this morning and nipped at my heels, honestly people it's dark out keep your doggies inside so they don't get run over.
